Late that afternoon we hove up

four months hunting on the seal

HELD IN SPARTA IAIL

Laurence Hunter, son of Mr. and
Mrs Hugh Hunter, residing in the
Shamrock county north OF Catarack,
some distance from Sparta, died
quite suddenly, his father finding him I'm
conscious in the barn and the circumstan-
c5s indicating that he had been given IL
qlor by some one, and had drank enough
to cause his death. He was carried to
the house and expired in spite of all eff
forts to save himA The boy was about
ten years old.
A livery driver brought the report
of the occurrence to Sparta, and district
attorney Abel and sheriff Boss, togeth
er with George Manuel, investigated,
spending most of the day looking the
matter up.
From what could be learned suspicion
centered upon Arthur S. Deeney 8 young
man, relative of the family, as the one
9 no fed the boy the liquor. He was a
round there, drunk, and had a couple
Of bottles, one containing whiskey and
the other alcohol. Moreover on the death
OF the boy he Immediately skipped out.
Sheriff Boss and George Manuel got
on Deeney's trail and traced him to
/ Barab0O.
When Deeney stepped from the train
here he was arrested by officer Stone.
la the meantime one Of the Sparta Of
ficers had gone to Ableman and was no
titled. Mr.. Stone delivered the man TO

is fairly we'll known here. His leaving
