CHAPTER II.
THE CHIEF


Inspector Martin MCGEE, the mid
dle-aged solid executive of the New
York detectives. sat IN his businesslike
office running over the reports on
the Hanska murder, now less than
a calendar day old but already the
subject of those innumerable extras
which the neWSbOyS were shouting
under his windows. Nothing in the
formal documents before him served
TO give him any new light. Thomas
North, advertising agent at present
locked up TO await examination, had
announced discovery OF the murder.
When he made the announcement. he
was spotted and daubed with blood.
Capt Hanska had then been dead at
least an hour. For the period in
which Hanska must have died, North
proved perfect alibi-unleSS the
landlady, or NOrth's companions at
the annual smoker of the Carekillers

Wade-that looked like the man.
WS-c0 was missing from the Curfew
club when the police arrived; how
ever. through the good memories of
a taxicab driver and a ticket seller,
he had been traced TO Boston and
there arrested in the very act OF en-
gaging European passage.
Wade had visited HanSka about the
time OF the murder-'aS shown by the
condition of the body" Wade admit

to explain why ne had made such

entrance by the front door or the
basement. BY night. Wade and North
must go on the carpet for a little
touch OF the third degree. Inspector

Trappers Reaping a Harvest.


The Prairie du Chen Press says
that musk rats are being caught in
remarkable numbers in the sloughs
and lakes of the Mississippi by trap
pers tlis winter. Last year, due as
it was believed to the unusual high
water late in the fall, almost no musk
rats were found. That they were
not destroyed, but merely migrated
to inland waters where they were
less molested by trappers, seems to
have been the case, for they are back
on the river again this winter in
greater numbers than for many seas
ems.
The price of musk rat skins is at
present along with that of all other
furs. Where couple of years ago
twenty-five cents was considered a
good return, they are now bringing
fifty and sixty cents.
With high prices and great num-
bers of the musk rats, both serving
as lures, many fishermen and clam
mers on the river have turned musk
rat hunters and the skins are now
being brought in by the hundreds. A
local buyer purchased four hundred
in a single day last week, all caught
with few miles of town.
M. Delphy of Harpers Ferry has
trapped five hundred within the last
month. Another trapper in the same
locality caught enough in thirteen
days to net him 1857.

Relic Hunters Victimized.

The relic hunter is still abroad in
the land and his desire for the unique
is fully met by several factories in
this and other countries whose bust
ness is to supply the demand of those
who will not be satisfied until they
get it. Tomahawks by the thousands
are turned out in Kansas City and
are sent to the Indian reservations in
the west, where they are sold to tour
lists, especially to foreign tourists.
The manufactured article is said to
look more archaic than the tomahawk
made by hand. There is a relic fac
tory at Valley Forge that runs night
and day at this season, turning out
in continuous stream broken swords
and rusty gun stocks, pepperbox pis-
tolls, corroded bullets, blood-stained
knee breeches, shot-riddled haver-
sacks and other alleged revolutionary
war relics dear to the tourists heart

Too Many Dogs.

Villisca, Iowa, Dec. 30.-The peo-
pie OF Villisca, who have not enjoy
ed many peaceful moments since the
tragedy last June, now have new
menace to face and one that a dis
cussion excites the risibilities of the
people despite the grief which they
have had to bear the past seven
months.
Immediately following the MUIR
ders in the Moore home, every house
hold felt the necessity of having a
dog. Almost any kind of dog ans
wered the purpose, but one with a
highly developed wakefulness and
possessed of deep growl and bark
that would scare brought special rec
concentrations and the market for
such kind of dogs seemed fully equal
to the demand and the dog popula-
ton soon reached tremendous pro-
portions in the city. ~
But since the nervousness of the
people has passed away and the faith
full canine has been more or less in
the way, there has been a desire to
rid the city of their presence. The
feeling has recently been heightened
by the presence of rabies among the
dogs, and now the mayor has issued
an edict that dogs must be muzzled
or confined or killed and the dog
catcher is busy. That dogs having
rabies are at large was proven thru
psychological examinations.
