Come down. Meagher." piped the
sheriff, In trembling tones.
Meagher spat viciously and bonn

virulent oaths. Come up here and

man that sets foot on these stairs"
Now you can see how II is for

hand OF a ruffian whose unerring aim
had sent more than one human soul
to the great Judgment Seat in the
past, was covering him with fatal ac-
curacy. The spirit of death was how
ering in the air.
Murray's voice had lost none of its
habitual coolness as he answered the
desperado's challenge. There's no
need for getting excited, Frank" he
said. "Pm not coming up. just want
to talk to you so that everybody won't
hear"
Meagher had risen to his feet and
stood at the top of the stair. looking
down upon the man just below him.
The sheriff grew suddenly valorous.
"Come down. Meagher, or I'll shoot" "
he cried. shrilly.
Shoot, blast you" responded
Meagher, vigorously. I'D rather be
shot here than hung In Canada"
There was a moments silence, and
Murray heard Detective Muncie advis-
ing the sheriff to quit making a noise.
"You just shut up. sheriff, and leave
this to me" shouted Murray. FranH,

Murray paused and stared unflinch'

nearer than at that moment. Meagh'

A look Of satisfaction crossed
Meagher's stern features. Murray
watching him. knew that he was play
ing for delay, and became more than
ever determined to take him on that
4:35 train. Meagher leaned forward
and hurled torrent of insulting oaths
at Detective Muncie, possibly hoping
that he might create a diversion by
picking a quarrel with the Cleveland
officer. Muncie made no reply, and
the prisoner again turned his atten'

POPE PROPERTY SELECTED.
The Trustees of the Graded School
Purchase Pope Property for Sl2-
500 Including Pope Residence.

The board Of trustees Of the New
berry graded school in connection
with the citizens advisory committee
at a meeting held on Tuesday after
noon closed trade for the \. J. Pope
property at $4,000 for two and three
fourth acres including the residence.
The portion selected fronts on
'Speers street, directly in front Of the
end of Caldwell street, 230 feet.
A new street has been opened on
the east side Of this property 80 feet
wide and the lot fronts on that street
4S5 feet. In the rear Of the lot an
other new street. is opened 80 feet
wide, and on the west side of the lot
another street so feet wide is opened,
making the lot entirely surrounded by
good broad streets.
The depth on the wst side is 4S7
feet. On the north side the lot meas
ures 275 and from the new street on
this side another new street 80 feet
wide has been opened, leading into
Chapman street. Another new street
so feet wide is opened from College
street, also, directly in front OF the
Pope residence running along tue side
Of the lot on which Mr.. F. H. Doml-
nick is now building.
Measuring from Speers street the
distance to the Pope residence is $50
feet which gives ample room to build
the new graded school building, 'front.'
ing on Speers street and on the new
street on the east side Of the lot.
No action has yet been taken by
the trustees in the adoption Of the
plans and specifications for the re-
modelling of the Pope residence or
for the location Of the new building.
It is probable, however, that the Pope
residence will be remodeled and equip
ped for use by the high school depart
ment and that the graded school prop
Ell will be in the new building to be
erected, and in connection with the
new building will be the auditorium
which can be used by both the high
school and the graded school pupils.
The Pope residence, We understand,
has about Is rooms and the founda-
tion walls are of granite about three
feet in thickness and much more sub
stantially built than would be erected
if it were put up at this time.
Altogether this selection by the
board, we believe, will give general
satisfaction to the people of the COM
munity.
