started when several men aroused the
anger of veteran in blue by abusing
Lincoln.
Several of the wounded men are in
"a serious condition at the Pennsylvania
state hospital. The state constabularv
is making every effort to find the men
who did the stabbing.
The wounded men are:

quartermaster's corps. U. S A.: David
Farbor. Butler. Pa, member OF the
state constabulary; John D. Maugin,

Farbor. Maugin and Grimm are in the
most serious condition. Their wounds
were in the left breast. and the sur

to their chance of recovery
VETERAN IS IN peril.
According to the information the au-
thorities could gather the fight started
suddenly and was over in a few min
utes. Tt began shortly before o'clock
when the dining room was full OF peo-
pie and caused panic among the
scores of guests. The veteran. who
was unhurt and disappeared in the
melee, was sitting near Farbor and Car
roll when he heard the sighting re-
marks about Lincoln lie jumped to his
feet and began to defend the martyred
president and berated his detractors.
The men who We're stabbed, accord
ing to the information the surgeons
got, jumped to the defense of the vet
eran when the other closed in. Knives
We're out in second and the room was
thrown into an uproar. Women fed
for the doors and crowded to the win
dows, ready to jump to the street below.
1t was all over before the other men
in the room could get their breath and
the men responsible for it all had dis
appeared. The fight spurred the med
ical men again tonight to an effort to
have the Gettysburg saloons closed
during the remainder OF the celebra-
tion.

The constabulary later arrested

cerned in the affray. They believe that
more than one man was responsible,
A rumor spread that a man with a

there by automobile. They looked
through the crowd. but found no
wounded man.

CHAPTER XIV.
A Concession,

''It is true; there seems to be some
thing extraordinary in the coinci-
dence."
Thus Mr. Brotherson, in the pres
ence Of the inspector.
But that is all there is to it." he
easily proceeded. Il knew Miss Chal-
loner and I have already said how
much and how little had to do with
her death. The other woman did not
know at all; did not even know her
name. A prosecution based on grounds

The inspector, surprised by this IN

er with an interest rather augmented
than diminished by his holiness. The

concluding words yet fingered on his
lips, lighting up features OF a mold too
suggestive Of command TO be associ-
Rted readily with guilt. That the i'm
preston thus produced was favor

inspectors reply:

Our first difficulty is this. We
must prove motive. Now, 1 do not
think 1t will be so very hard to show
that this Brotherson cherished feel
ings OF revenge towards Miss Chal-
loner. But l have to acknowledge
right here and now that the most skill
full and vigorous pumping OF the JAM
tor and such other tenants of the
Hicks street tenement as have dared
to approach, fails to show that he has
ever held any Communication with
Mrs. SPOTS, or even knew of her ex-
istence until her remarkable death at

"Humph! We will set that down,
then. as SO much against u.s."

too, is the almost insurmountable diff
ficulty already recognized Of determin-
ing how a man, without approaching
his victim, could manage to infiict q

Never will you find an Eskimo family
