family Bible was consulted, but the
leaf with the record was gone. The
court was in a quandary. At last a
neighbor remembered that a valuable
cow belonging to the grandfather had
given birth to calf on the day the
girl was born, and he could swear to

father had recorded the date Of the
birth of the calf. His farm books
showed that he had done so, and the
date of the birth of the girl was thus
established. This story has cheer

A few hours later, Claire Mcmillan
heard two shots ring out. Neighbors
searched the alley near Twenty-first

found nothing.
The bullet into the abdomen did not
penetrate the vitals, but took a cir

from the wound is blood poison. But
the shot in the neck went up through
the old mans mouth and out through
his nose.
Stillmonk first told the police that
he was the victim of highwaymen,

give them his money and watch, but
later he admitted that he tried to
