a wild fury filled his veins. He strug.
tore himself loose with wrench so
powerful that the momentum hurled
him over the wall, and he fell heav-
lily to the ground below. There he lay
for some time, severely bruised and
only half conscious. He was aroused
by hearing voices in the jail, and stag
gering to his feet dragged himself
away in search Of hiding place.
He came to a graveyard, and as he
crawled along in the darkness, fell
head foremost into newly dug grave.
Silent he lay without moving, with
fast-closed eyes and rigid body. He
heard a creaking and humping and
family. as though far away, he heard
the harsh rattle of earth falling on
the casket. Yet no weight seemed to
press upon him, but this did not sur
prise him, for he was long past the
stage of establishment. 1t was the end,
and nothing mattered now. He heard
the rumble of wheels as the carriages
departed and the footsteps of the
mourners died away.
His awakening came suddenly, ac-
companied by a cold thrill of horror,
as his eyes opened upon the utter
darkness. He tried to move, but his
entire frame seemed to be paralyzed.
With a rush of recollection there
crossed his mind the memory of the
burial, the prayer and singing. He
moved his head feebly and through
the hay caught sight of the twinkling
stars. Slowly and with great pain he
managed to rise to a sitting posture.
Where was the coffin, where the six
feet of earth underneath which it lay?
He staggered to his feet and saw that
the grave he occupied was empty. His
brain whirled madly in a maze Of tor
turing conjectures. What did 1t all
mean? He tried to Chamber out, but
fell back exhausted. He lay back on
the hay, rested and tried again. 1t
was the work of an hour for him to
drag his feeble limbs over the edge of
the pit, but at last he succeeded. Then
the mystery was solved. Close beside
the open grave from which he had
emerged a new-made mound stood
darkly in the moonlight. The burial
had indeed taken place, but in the
grave adjoining that in which he lay.
The escaped murderer stood up and
laughed Historically as he looked
around and saw the distant outlines
Of Sandwich Jail looming black and
gigantic in the moonlight Rallying his
failing strength he staggered away
from the grave that had been his place
of refuge. On the new-made mound
stood a vase of flowers, and bending
uown weakly. he plucked one and
tossed It into the empty grave.
Then painfully he turned and crept

EDMUND CAMPAU
TAKEN BY DEATH
Scion of Wealthy Pioneer Family
Last Days Are Spent as Night
Waterman for City.

Scion OF one OF the wealthiest and
most influential OF Detroit's old
pioneer families, Edmund Campau,
aged %. died poor man in st. Mary 5
hospitai Monday. The funeral was
held Thursday morning In Romeo,
where his aged mother and sister now
reside.
Once rich, MIR. Campau had been
employed latterly as a night watch.
man for the city. Before that he
worked at the painter and decorators
trade. For the past fourteen years he
had boarded in the house at No. ESQ
Chene-st., now occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs. George Trevor. He had hosts Of
wealthy relatives and some OF them
often importuned him to make his
home with them. but he always re-
jected their kind offers. Nothing could
induce him to remove from this par
ticular neighborhood. where there
were so many associations old and
dear to him.
At Catherine and Chene-sts.. only a
block from Mr.. Campau's boarding
place, stands the old Campau home

they were. for his father, the late
Theodore Campau. was then at the
hight of his prosperity as one OF the
city's largest contractors.
The last big job Mr.. Campau. Sr..
undertook for the city was the laying
OF the sewer in Woodward-ave.. from
Jefferson-avc. down TO the river. Many
tered. with the result that Mr.. Cam
pau lost heavily. Other reverses from
time TO time swept away a large part
OF the original fortune.
Edmund Campau was man OF
splendid educational attachments and
could talk entertainingly on almost
any subject. At no time did he ever
lose sight OF the fact that he was a
Campau and his gentle breeding
showed In every act
Mr.. Campau was found in his room
at No. ESQ Chene-st. about 10 o'clock
Monday morning. City Physician
George II. Voelkner was called and
found that he was suffering from con-
gestion OF the lungs. MIR. Campau
was removed to the hospital. where he
expired late Monday afternoon. Mr..
Campau had had two previous attacks
within the past few weeks and nad
complained OF feeling Ill for two or
three days before stricken with his
fatal illness.
As MIR. Campau rarely spoke of him
self or his family. the Trevors had
some difficulty in locating the rela.
tives at first. AS soon as they learned
OF his death, however, several OF them
came forward to render any service
within their power. II was thought
best to hold the funeral i'm Romeo and
the remains were taken to that village
Wednesday.

was q cousin two or three degrees re-
moved OF Daniel ]. Campau.

MOLINE CHANNEL Is
NEARLY COMPLETED
Engineers Hope to Finish the I'm
provement by Next
Spring.

If the weather remains favorable a
month longer, the United States en-
gineers are hopeful Of succeeding in
carrying out their plans to open up
the Moline channel next spring. The
work IL now being carried on with all
possible speed, two dredges, two
steamboats, and drill boat being en-
gagged in the work. The work has pro-
crossed threequarters Of the distance
to the end OF the dam, and the engin-
GERS hope to reach the head of the
dam within month, the weather per-
hitting.
The object is to complete one-half
the stipulated width of the channel
this season in order to open It for
steamers next spring with the open
ing Of river navigation The project
calls for a 250foot channel with a
depth of six feet at low water from the
lock to the head of the dam. The
channel, which is through solid rock,
has been practically cut through the
entire distance, the work now being
done consisting mainly of cleaning up.

northerly dwelling people OF the world,
comprising the nomadac groups be-
tween the degrees Of 76 and 70 north
latitude, are embraced their legends,
religious beliefs and fables-everythin
in fact. connected with their folklore
and their present views Of life. In Che
preface to his book Rasmussen says:
when / was a child used often to
hear an old Greenlandic woman tell
how, far away north, at the end Of the
world, there lived people who dressed
in bearskins and ate raw flesh. Their
country was always shut in by ice, and
the daylight never reached over the
tops OF their high fields (mountains).
Whoever wished to go there must
travel with the south wind, right up
to the lord of the wild north gales.
Even before l knew what travelling
would go and find these people"
1.-THE Eskmos," he says, ARE much
like animals. The men love their
wives, but when the fancy takes them
they maltreat them in a manner that
we civilized men would consider bru-
tai. But say the Eskimos, If affec-
ton is to be kept alive the women
must feel occasionally that the man is
strong"
Even the presence OF civilized man
who had Eskimo blood in his veins
aroused the suspicious of the south
east Greenlanders. All sorts Of ru-
mors, he says, were circulated about
his coming. chiefly hawked about by
old Christian women whose tongues re-
quired little exercise" To win their
confidence Rasmussen adopted the
policy OF asking no questions for a
number Of days.
'Thus," he says, 'T succeeded at
length in winning the confidence of the
people, and during my life with them
they gave me descriptions Of the events
that had been mainly responsible for
their determination to migrate to the
west coast and their resultant CONVEX
sion to Christianity"

COMPANY TO Be
MADE STRONGER
Militia Must Meet Require
ments of Dick Bill by
First of Year.
ARE NOW ONLY SO MEMBERS
Soldiers Inspected by Major j. w,
Reig, Commander of Sec
ond Battalion.

Company "A OF the Illinois National
Guard was inspected last evening by
Major j. w. Reig, commander Of the
second battalion OF the 9th regiment,
OF which the local company is a part.
me inspection was satisfactory in
most every detail and the major ex-
pressed BELIEF that Company A has,
on account of the GLASS of young men
VINO make it up, a better chance Of
building up and becoming one of the
pest companies in the state than any
other organization In the national
guard at present.
In a brief speech4after the inspection
ne advised the company of the fact
that it will have to be recruited I'D 20
the strength required by the "Dick
olH' by Jan. l. This means that there
VIII have to be minimum of 5S men
on the roster At present there are
81 and at least 20 recruits will have
70 be taken in by the first Of the year
The dick bilI,'' which was passed
several years ago, puts the militia of
the various states under the control
OF the federal government and assures
them OF complete equipment, such as
is given to the regular army. In case
company cannot recruit itself up 70
the required number it is very likely
that it win be mustered out of the
service.
To Hustle for Members.
In his talk to the members of the
company Major Reig suggested that n
membership campaign be inaugurated
under the following plan: The COM
pany is to be divided into three parts
and each part will aim to secure the
largest number of recruits. The two
sections which lose in the competition
are to pay for a dinner for the whole
company when the contest closes. The
suggestion met with the approval Of
the company and next Monday even
ing the leaders of the three divisions
will be announced by Captain E. H.
DunaVin and they will be permitted TO
choose in turn and fill up their divi-
sions from the present strength of the
company.
Election Is Ordered.
An order from the acting adjutant
general Of the state was read last
evening. It calls for an election of
first lieutenant in Company A to I'LL
the vacancy caused by the resignation
of Walter E. Hart who resigned sew
eral months ago on account of being
out Of the state the greater part of his
time and not being able to fulfil his
duties to the company. The election
of his successor will take place next
Monday evening. Captain Dunavin
will preside at the meeting and see
that it is done under the rules laid
down by the military code of the state.
