The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1909-07-16

Melvin Leisure stood with white
face clenched hands and gritted teeth
while Lucille threw herself at her
fathers feet and weepingly begged
and implored him to mitigate the
harsh sentence. But he cast her
rudely from him with . curse, and,
turning to Leisure with murder in his
eyes, said:
"'You dog! VOC want my daugh-
ter-you! Why. shot your father
down in cold blood because he differed
with me politically. Do you think
Ill do less for you for trying to rob
me Of my daughterr
$50 1t was you who killed my
father returned Leisure in . voice
beneath the quiet of which lay the
tense dxedness Of q stern, unbending
resolve. Then. Col. Farrar. tell you
that will have your daughter and
will avenge my father. Are you mine
till death, Lucile?
81 am yours till DEATH said the
girl as she went over and placed her
arm proudly about his neck.
Very little was seen of Leisure
in town after that and It was whis.
pered that he was staying out on his
farm and keeping out of the irate
colonel's way.
About two weeks after his unsuc-
cessful interview with Farrar, which
was noised abroad as such things
are in a small town. Lucille Farrar
disappeared. and the tongues began to
wag in earnest. When for 4 week
she had not turned up the towns peo-
pie, who had little love for Farrar at
best, were ready to believe anything.
His threat against his daughter was
known and the bolder ones did not
hesitate to whisper that he had put
| it into execution. These hints took
form by degrees and at last witness
came forward who told of passing the
colonel's house. situated on the edge
of town, late at night, and Of hearing
low means and pleadings.
! AT last suspicion took such fierce
root that the sheriff headed an in
vestigating party. Col. Jim was away
and they had free run of the prem
ises.
THE search led to a cave in the
side Of the hill, once used as a cellar
but long since abandoned. There
they found torn pieces of dress, a
bloody hatchet and some tangled locks
of black hair drenched with blood.
The dress and the hair were easily
identified as belonging to Lucille Far
hn 80
the colonel.
When charged with the crime his
knees tottered and he nearly tainted.
He made no direct denial but moaned
and cried like child. During the
trial that followed he seemed stunned
and oblivious to what was going on.
Il will admit that the courts of
to-day would be loath to accept SO
inadequate corpus deficit, but our
blood was hot in those times and 1t
seems to me we hanged more than
we do now. Service was had on Les
sure and he testified to the facts of the
quarrel and the threat. Upon this
evidence and the prisoners failure to
deny they found their verdict of guilty
and fixed upon the death penalty.
"As the day Of execution approach.
ed Col Farrar continued In a state
of almost total insensibility. But
| when the sheriff came to read the
death warrant he reused and raising
his hand to heaven. said:
before my maker l swear that
am guiltless of my child's death
They led him to the scaffold and
on the way he passed Melvin Leisure
who was watching the scene like .
bird fascinated by snake. Col. Far
rar requested the sheriff to step. ana !

under arrest. He blew his brains out
in his cell that night with pistol
procured, no one knew how. Lucille
went mad on hearing of the tragedy,
and was confined some time in an
asylum. She recovered and ended her
days in convent.
That, gentlemen, is my story"
There was a stirring of chairs and
a general lighting Of pipes which had
been allowed to go out in the rapt
attention that prevailed while Judge
Stoakes was speaking, when Judge
Grower arose and said:
Il believe l voice the sentiments Of
the club in extending thanks to Judge
Stoakes."

LATEST Bird on Earth

Some Of the NEST wonderful birds in
the world are to be seen at the Lon.
don Cage Bird associations annual
show. says the Nail, of that city.
Perhaps the most remarkable ex
htbit of all is bird described by Mr..
Frank Finn, the well known ornitholo.
gist. as the LATEST bird on earth. This
is the Cuban trogon, a feathered idler
OF true Spanish American instincts.
He will sit patiently under a Dough
waiting for the ripe fruit to fall into
his beak, instead Of plucking It for
himself. Not even the prospect of
taking home a first and special nrize
to Its owner disturbed the placidity of
this picturesque winged sluggard. An.
other remarkable exhibit is the rare
hawk-headed parrot Of South Amer
lea. The toucans, which have been
aptly described as "beaks with birds
behind them," attracted a great deal
or attention. The great Himalayan
bar bet was in his usual bad temper;
biting furiously at everybody's fingers,

1t is related on good authority Of a
well-known poet that he on"a walked
into the sanctum of magazine edi-
tor 90: submitted to him a poem,
which "as promptly rejected. The
editor "ndeavorcd to cheer up tho
crestfallen bard.
"Try special articles" he suggested,

Il couldn't do special articles"
cried the son Of ParnasGus indig-
nantly. For me, romance! And, by
the way" he Immediately added,
that's a good starter for Poem.
Hm-let me see:
For me, Romance! For me the
Golden Lie!"
In a few minutes the new poem
was all written oct on the back of
the discarded one L; a few minutes
more it was accepted.

to say, he finally blurtcd out, consol-
ingly:
"Oher-too bad! Did the glass
break?'
Dripping from head to foot, the
clerk looked at him witheringly.
Ibid the glass break?" he repeated

freezing sarcasm, ooh, no, not at all I,

Teaching Girls to Ride Horses.

Almost all the little girls who are
taught to ride horses these days are
put on cross saddles. They may or
may not ride astride when they get
bigger, but they all learn that way,
1t is a safer position in the first place
and 1t gives confidence never acquired
by youngstcr in side saddle. AS n
rule the small enuestrienne is clad in
boomers and the brierest of skirts
Often she disCards the skirt when the

Instructor holds her pony by lead
ing strap and. Of course, he rides n
horse easily able to overtake her
