last saw his companions. In the
party was Herman Dauter, and
| Packer made an attempt to kill this
| young man on the journey. Instead
of leading the party Packer, after
Turing them to an inaccessible
mountain, pretended to be bewiIder-
ed and unable to get his bearings.
Four bodies were found lying al
most in a row, their feet toward the
camp fire. The mems heads had
been crushed in with Ratchet. One
body was lying some distance from
the other four. The head was miss
ing from his body, and strips Of
flesh are said to have been taken
fro mthe thighs and breast.
Near by the rude shanty, IN which
was a box, recognized by a member
of the original party as having come
from Salt Lake, was found. The
ground showed no signs of the IN
easy rest of the man who had slept
there. A path between the shanty
and the bodies showed how the
cannibal had lived.
An inquest on the bodies of the
unfortunate pTOspectors, lured, no
doubt. into the death trap by Pack
er, was held, and a warrant was
sworn out for his arTe5t. He had
broken Jail, however, and it was
nine years later when he was appre-
hended through the assistance of
'Frenchy," a member of the original
party, who had discovered him in
Wyoming.
Wraiths of the Dead.
Alfred Packer carried the real
story of that mountain tragedy to
the grave with him. The photo
graphs of this man, with the droop-
ing corners of the mouth, the pale,
grey, leery eye, indicate degeneracy.
The tOrturing thoughts of those hOr-
rible nights in the mountains when,
with his dead companions lying stark
and cold, wrapped in their blankets,
beside the ashes of the camp fire
while he, their murderer, overcome
by british imbecility as he ate of
their flesh-wouId not tend to en-
noble the face of any man, however.
Whether the speCtTe-ike clouds
lowering like a soul in distress above
the graves of these five prospectors
who penetrated the mountains in the
days when Colorado was young is
the unhappy wrath of Alfred Pack
er seeking relief as the winds moan
through the pine trees and the quak-
ing aspen shake their trembling
leaves in the moonlight the mate
rialists will never know.
The name of Alfred Packer, writ
ten in CHASTITY symbols upon the
mountainside, by the graves of those
unfortunate victims, is one which
will be kept alive vampire-like, sus-
tanned by the breath of horror and
reVulsion of succeeding generations.

UNDERSTANDS, ACCEPTS OFFICE
New State Gealogist Replies to Gov.
Blease'S Appointment Letter.

Columbia, May 2.-In a letter mail
ed tonight, DIR. Mayville W. Twitchell
accepts the position Of State geologist
rendered to him last evening by Gov
ernor Blease.
Dr. Twitchell is a we'll equipped
geologist- He took the four years
graduate course in that branch at
Johns Hopkins, receiving the degree
of Doctor of Philosophy. For three
years DIR. Twitchell was in field work
for the Maryland geological survey
and also did Office work for that SUR
vey. Coming South in the fall of 1905,
he accepted a position at the South
Carolina college, now the State Uni
versity. He is professor of geology
and mineralogy at the University.
DR.. Twitchell writes Gov Blease
as follows:
Dear Sir: I have in hand yours of
yesterday, notifying me of my ap-
pointment as State geologist. My un-
-derstandng of the conditions of the
appointment is essentially in accor-
dance, with your statement, namely,
that I am to accapt the position know
ing that it may be abolished at the
next meeting of the general assembly,
and that 7 am to receive the salary
provided by law, but that from this
salary I am to take a per diem for
the days I am actually engaged upon
work connected with the duties Of the
Office, and also pay all expenses con-
nected with the work, the total
amount thus expended for expenses
and the per diem compensation not to
exceed the salary provided.
"Of course, the new duties as State
geologist will have to be carried on
as not to interfere with the satisfac-
tory performance of my duties at the
University, chiefly during the summer
vacation, and at such other times as
would ordinarily be at leisure from
teaching work.
In concluson, permit me to say

UNyEIL MEMORIAL
TO LATE COL. BACON
Great-nephew of Beiored Journalist
Reveals Window Typical Of Life
of Departed Writer.

Edgeheld, May 1.-The beautiful
window that was recently erected IN
Trinity church as a memorial to the
lamented Col. James T. Bacon was
unveiled yesterday morning, the SER
vice though simple being fitting and
very beautiful. The window will be
dedicated when Bishop Guerry next
visits Trinity church.
In casting about for a subject for
the window, that of the Good Samarl-
tan was decided upon as best symbol
izing the generous and wholly unself-
ish life Of oCl. Bascom. Truly he was
Edgefeld's good Samaritan. Possess
ing a most charming personality and
inherent gifts of the highest order,
affluence and worldwide fame were
in his easy reach had he located in
a. larger field, yet he preferred rather
to remain in the town of his nativity,
where he could constantly pour "oll
and wine" upo1 the wounds of loved
ones, friends and neighbors. Forget
ting self and self-interest, his life was
literally spent in the promotion of the
comfort and happiness Of others. The
large number of friends whose sad,
sweet privilege it was to witness the
unveili1g heartily concurred in the
appropriateness of the subject for the
window.
For the mornings lesson the rec
tor, Rev. R. G. Shannonhouse, read
the narrative of the Good Smaraitan,
selectiong therefrom the theme for the
discourse Of the morning. In closing
his remarks, Mr.. Shannonhouse refer
red feelingly to the life of his friend
and neighbor, Col. Bacon. At the con-
clusion of the ftly spoken words by
the rector, little James Bacon Sharp
ton, a great-nephew of the late Col.
Bacon, advanced to the front and drew
the cord that held the curtain that
yelled the window, placing it in full
view of the congregation. The win
dow is a beautiful work of art and has
been genuinely admired by all who
have seen it.

off the hat rim with considerable

There was once an old lady In

she lived close to the house in which
a church minister lived, he asked her
to send him two new-laid eggs every
morning, and he would pay her for
them.
So the old lady sent her girl to the
minister's house every morning with
two eggs. and the minister's servant
always thought the eggs were newly
laid because they felt quite warm, as
If they bad just been taken from the
hens nest.
But one day the eggs were cold. so

fresh today, Janey? They do not

fresh, only my mother could not get
