The Orange Tree.

The orange is the longest lived fruit
tree. 1t begins to bear the third year
after budding. and for 100 years it will
yield abundant crops. Orange trees
have been known to attain the ripe age
of 300 years. The orange requires less
care and attention than any other fruit
tree It's early growth is rapid. In the
first two years it grows more than it
will in the next fifty. This refers, Of
course, to its height and breadth alone
its fruit stems and consequently its
crops increase more rapidly after the
first ten years.

Police Take New Tack in Inquiry
into Diamond Merchants Death.


Chicago, Dec. 24.-Federal charges
were lodged against Frank Williams
and Clyde Stratton, held as suspects
in the Logue murder case, following
the confession of Williams that he
had robbed the postoffice at McCool,
Ind, on Dec. II.
The prisoners were turned over to
the federal authorities this morning
Evidence duplicating them in several
other postofIice robberies is said to
be in possession of the postoffice au-
thorities.
Identifies Stolen Articles.
Postmaster J. S. Robins and C. O.
Johnson, his associate in an nipple
ment store in which the postoffice of
the village of McCool, Ind, is located
came to Chicago and identified ar
ticles found on Stratton and Harry
B. Hampton, prisoners who have been
held in connection with the Logue
murder and other robberies, as hav-
ing come from their store.
According to Postmaster Robins,
his establishment was robbed on the
night of Dec. II, the safe blown open
and money and valuables to the
amount of $500 stolen. Included in
the loot, he said, was a quantity of
parcels post stamps to the amount of
about $33.75.
When shown a Baltimore and Ohio
Communication ticket containing ten To-
cal rides, good between South Chica-
go and Gary, Ind. Robins identified it
as having been stolen from his safe.
The ticket, Captain Halpin says, was
found in STATIONS possession at the
Clifton avenue fiat.
Stamps Found in Flat.
Among the fiat loot taken by the po-
lice was a quantity of parcels post
stamps amounting in value to about
$31. These, Postmaster Robins thinks
came from his postoffice safe.
He brought with him a piece of
wire, found in the debris of the blown
safe, which he believed had been
used in setting off charge Of nitro
glycerine. This was compared with
wire found in the burglar outfit found
in the fiat and said to be the same
kind of wire.
Captain Halpin said 1t was expect
ed that the detective bureau and post
Office inspectors would be able to con-
vict Stratton and Hampton on a
charge of robbing the McCool postof
fee, If on no other charge.
Stratton Hampton, Williams and
Mrs. Margaret Johnson were formally
booked, Stratton as a fugitive from
tools in his possession, Hampton for
robbery and the Johnson woman on
the charge of having burglar tools
and explosives in her home in viola
ton of the criminal code.
Turning to New Angles.
Practically abandoning all idea
that the prisoners under arrest had
anything to do with the Logue muir
der, the police are now turning to
other angles of the mysterious case.
Jealousy, the eternal triangle and a
savage revenge may be behind the
death by torture melted out last Fri
day to the merchant in his little dia-
mond shop in the McVicker's Thea
ter building. Following out this
theory, the police started upon the
trail of two women, one tall and strik-
ing in appearance, the other short
and petite, and both of them decided
bondes.
