TORE HEART OUT
WITH DYNAMITE

One of the most dramatic sui
cides in the ristory of this county
occurred near Homer City Monday
when Joseph HanSock. aged %
years, an Austrian, held a stick of
dynamite over his heart and eX-
plOded it. His heart was literally
torn out and the hand which held
the explosive was blown off at the
wrist. Death was instantaneous.
HanSock was a tine-looking, well
built youth Of nearly six feet. He
had been employed in the Tearing
Run mines for several months and
boarded at Coy Mines. For seve-
raj days previous to taking his life
he seemed to be worrying over
something and last Sunday morn
ing walked the floor of his room
constantly When called to din
ner Monday he declared that he
did not wish any, but appeared on
the porch Of the house few mo-
ments later attired in his best
clothes. In his right hand he car
ried a stick of dynamite.

sumo the products of the fields and
the waste or roughness from all

growth under proper cultivation and

large population and only few
workers has been able to produce
fruits and vegetables and meat prod

an exception to this condition in 1914
when the superinten Tents of farm

when he was but lad of seven years
of age. This early parting with
school life was prompted partly on

to some good paying position in the
mechanical departments and as writ

that school did not end with him
when he entered the printing game,
for The Mackay Miner is one of the
most ably edited weekly papers that

He bears another and different dis

since investigated 1t.

Down in the Tilden bottoms east of

the Rice Brothers and their families.
They have been running cattle there
for good many years and have just
recently begun to show real interest

the ground was wet and cold all

years tinkering with small tracts to
get the right idea about farming and
what was possible to produce. When
they get the sod subdued and cult

and keep loosening it to let the sun

mellow, it responds so we'll with plant

stunts. The boys are asking them
selves, "Who wants to get out and

They call 1t corral, and the gold was
deep and rich and old, and he was
tossing it on the wagon in hunks to
get it out on the land they expect to
raise beets on next year. They want
to raise the yield from an average
of some Is to 16 tons to 20 tons in
1916. Su h fertilizer as he was haul

would add $50 an acre to beet yield

fully that much the second year 1t

find that they can make profit on
every acre Of land they put in beets,
they will soon be operating large
tracts with contract labor and they
will probably overcome the hard part
of hauling to the loading station by
operating auto trucks. Springfield
has such an ideal place for a factory,

cause he was hard-up for money and
Ambitious to pay up, he kept offering
some of his land for $50 an acre.
Where he raised wheat he harvested

about $21 gross income for the year
The oats yielded 80 bushels, or about
$13 per acre gross. Taking this as

softly. What if he had sold the land
at $50 and the purchaser had made
enough to pay for it all out of the

again-a little louder. In fact, he
jumped around a little. Think of

which he had tried to do, and If the
purchaser had been in possession of
information like a man should, and
had taken 1857 an acre from 1t for
alfalfa seed, would G. A. Line ever
have gotten over it? But on the
other hand, If Mr.. Line had put it
all into oats and got only 80 bushels
per acre, would 1t have made spots

thoughts Mr.. Line is taking what

Hope, who would know just how it hap
pened. Also he was there to take care of
Glasbury; and through it all he kept
Glasbury behind him.
He was down on the floor now-they
all were-but he was still fighting. He
had some one by the throat. And in
some way he managed to get hold of the
winged mans blackjack. And then sud-
denly he knew that Laneham and Me-
Gloyne and McGloyne's men were inside
Another burst of shots, and the thud,
thud, thud of subduing night-sticks. And
as, amid smoke and the salty smell of
powder, Willings again found himself sit
ting up and looking around, he became
gradually aware that some one was work
ing over Glasbury.
1t was the Doctor. In almost com
plete collapse the young playwright was
passing from one faintng fit to another.
And, "Oh, my God!" he was crying.
The Doctor looked up and caught
would they ever forget it? 1t was the
lost-soul voice they had heard twice before
in the Fisher rooms. "Oh, my God, my God"
TEN minutes later the two would-be
jewel thieves and blackmailers sat
trussed and ready for the patrol wagon.
But, in the little room of the high-backed
desk, Laneham was having last word
with McGloyne:
"You must leave Glasbury with me.
For the next few days he'd have to go
into hospital in apy case"
"All right All right"
"Till further notice, too, I'll ask you
not to try to talk to those two worthless,
either. If possible, keep it absolutely
quiet that you've even caught them?"
"You mean keep it even from Fisher?"
"What? Oh-h. Oh, if you want, tell
him."
"But, Lord, when you might say we've
got the thing cleared up!"
Cleared up? Inspector, once more,
who killed Mrs. Fisher? Those two don't
know. Why, and how, was she killed?
And how did the murderer get in? Has
the first of those questions been answered?
Has any part of the real mystery been
solved? No. But. if you will give me the
opportunity, tonight | think we can at
last begin"
McGloyne shook his head uncompre-
hendingly. But, the matter was in Lane
hams hands. Doctor" he said, "what
do you want to do?"
Several things one of which will again
convince you that I've lost my senses.
But want first of all-and nothing could
be gained by letting any one else know
first of all to be free to go with Willings
back to Mrs. Fishers rooms, and, for the
remainder of the night if need be, look for
something"
"What?'

metal which should still be somewhere

everything in his power to prepare for
them. He did not leave the house until
he had.
But, having gone, hour after hour went
by before he returned. Five o'clock
passed, and six. He called up to say
that he could not be home for dinner
They did not see him again. indeed, till
after eight. And then-a first glance at
his face told the story: they knew that he
had taken one more step-that once more
and Enthusiastically he had found the thing
he sought! 1t was unmistakable. But
not less obvious was it that he had no
thought OF telling of it then.
There's only one thing we must do to-
night" he said; "we've a little ambush
to fix up. And the time is short enough
already. Wllings, we'll get back first to
the Casa Grande."
He told him, on the way, that Glasbury
was still at the St. Hlaire; Morris had
just made sure of that And Morris was
to warn them too, when Glasbury left to
meet his blackmaiers. For it was evil
dent that he intended to meet them.
"And now, son, a second time: if you
feel that you'll be running uncalled-for
chances?"
"Not for moment"
AT the Casa Grande they found Me-
Gloyne in plain clothes. He had with
him, at last those promised floor plans.
I'D have done better just to have
turned you over the originals, he said;
"for everything was tied up while the
blue-printers kept us waiting"
"It's all right" Laneham told him;
81 guess we know already what we're
going to learn from them"
He carried the rolled sheets into the
room behind the telephone-board and
spread them out.
"There you have it. The Fisher apart
ment in the Casa Grande here and Glas-
bury's bachelor rooms in the Casa Reale
adjoin. They abut at Mrs. Fishers little
writing-room McGloyne stifled an ex-
clamation, and the Doctor turned to him.
"But, right now,' he said, whatever the
appearances seem to be, ask you to take
my word for it that never for moment
has there been anything that could lie
against the honor of either of them"
McGloyne dropped his hands. "As
you say, Doctor, as you say. Only it's
brought them death an hell. Well, our
times short" He handed Laneham a
latch-key "An' there's one thing you'll
be needin'."
"Good."

When are you going over?'
"At once For Willngs and | would
like to get preliminary look around"
They all walked around the block to
the entrance of the Casa Reale together.

entrance. A message had just come in
for him. 1t was Morris's warning: Glas-
