DANCING SEEN IN CHURCHES
Custom Is Practiced Frequently
Abroad in Connection With Va
rious Ceremonies.

This custom is practiced in the par
ish church of Musgrave, in Westmor-
land, England, in connection with the
ancient rite Of rush-bearing. On May
day each year twelve young girls of
Brough assemble in the morning at the
foot Of Brough bridge, decorated with
flowers and fresh garlands on their
heads. Accompanied by band, they
proceed through the fields to Mus
grave. The girls are led up to the
north aisle Of the church, and they
hang their garlands at the side, there
to remain until the next year. The
Gospel is read by the clergyman, pray
ers are offered and psalms sung. A
space is then cleared near the altar,
and a fiddle produced. Dancing now
commences and continues until the
afternoon.
Dancing is frequently seen in Con-
tinental churches. During the Corpus
Christi octave ballet is danced ev-
cry evening before the high altar Of
Seville Cathedral by boys from twelve
to seventeen years of age. They wear
plumed hats and the dress of pages
of the time of Philip III. To this day
a dancing procession chanting curl
Gus carol takes place at Echternach, in
Luxembourg, on Tuesday in Whitsun
week. It is called the Procession of
Jumping Saints, and consists of long
train of pilgrims dancing three PAGES
forward and then backward. They
dance from the bridge over the Saur
to the church, round the altar, and
then separate at cross in the GENE.

1t appeared the recruit had been

job was to pack toy soldiers into card
board boxes. He had been dismissed
by the firm.
'Why, exactly, did they fire you, my

and Muskogee, Johnson heard a cas-
ual remark dropped which led him to
believe that the fugitives were still
near Eufaula. He got off the train at
the next stopping place, and started
out alone in a southeasterly direction,
until he arrived, late in the afternoon,
at a ferry station on the Canadian
river. Just before he reached this
place he met bootlegger in a rig,
conveying two-gallon jar of whisky.
Johnson let him pass. He was In
search of larger game, and the we'll
trained hound never abandons his first
quarry to take up another trail. Be
ing tenacious sleuth, Johnson prob
ably went after him and got him
later.
The ferryman had just returned
after conveying the bootlegger across.
During the voyage a small quantity
of liquid refreshment had passed from
the mouth of the jar into the ferry
mans, and had unloosened the mans
tongue en- route to it's destination.
and soon elected the fact that Harris
and his stepdaughter were encamped
at a place about three miles on the
opposite bank of the stream, where
they had been with some others for
period of about ten days.
Il am authorized to arrest Them"
said Johnson. 81 want you to come
with me and help"
Sure" answered the ferryman,
"only 1 haven't got gum"
That didn't faze Johnson. He re-
mounted his horse and rode across
country until he came to a farmers
house. Rapping at the door, he asked
the man to lend him shotgun. The
farmer, not knowing Johnson, and
doubtless scared by the formidable
appearance of such barrel of man,
refused in loud tones of anger.
johnson remounted and began rid
ing away. No doubt he would have
continued his journey without the fer
ryman's aid, but, as luck would have
it, he encountered visitor riding up
to the farmers house, who proved to
be Mr.. Porter, lawyer of Eufaula.
Johnson knew him very well, for Por-
ter had recently defended a druggist
whose safe Johnson had smashed in
with sledge-hammer in order to get
the whisky which was concealed in
SIDE
However, Mr.. Porter bore Johnson
no ill-will, and, on learning Of the
big mans situation. returned with
him and identified him to the farmer.
Thereupon the farmer handed over

his companion linked the two brides
into his hand and guided the horses
into the water. The boat was reached
and the horses embarked, the most
difficult part Of the entire proceeding,
after Harris had been compelled to
jump down into the river and assist
in pushing the boat of the shoal.
Finally the party reached the other
bank.
The ferryman then remembered that
he had another horse loose in a pas
ture, and went in search of it, while
Johnson remained covering Harris.
He found 1t after some delay and
brought 1t back. The two captives
were now mounted on this, and John
son and his assistant rode with them
into Eufaula, which they reached at
ten at night, overtaking at the town
limits the other federal officers riding
YEARLY homeward, having been I'M
able to discover the campers. There
was much chagrin when "Pussyfoot"
revealed the identity of his convoy.
The federal officers had learned of
the tip that Johnson had received, and
had ridden as far as the ferry, but,
finding the ferryman gone and the
boat apparently abandoned upon a
mudbank in midstream, they had
forthwith given up the chase and re-
turned home.
Harris was placed in the local Jail
under a strong guard, and his step
daughter taken to the hotel and kept
there until the following day, when
the two captives were removed to
the town Of Muskogee.
The two women were soon after.
ward set at liberty and Harris and
Trumbly placed on trial for murder
Both were convicted and sent to join
Johnson's colony Of prisoners in the
penitentiary at Leavenworth, for life.
They are still there, it is believed, at
the time of writing.
A minor feature of the case was the
fact that McKeehan was proved to
have had wife living in Tennessee
| at the time he married Nora Harris.

his fowling piece to Johnson, and
Johnson rode back once more. By
this time it was beginning to grow
dark, but that did not deter Johnson
at all.
He rode his horse on to the ferry
boat, which started to make the trip.
But the bootlegger's whisky had what
is called a "kick' to it, and, when
the craft reached the middle of the
stream, the ferryman contrived to run
it upon a mud bank, and the united
efforts Of the two were unable to get
it off again.
The ferryman had his horse in the
boat and, leaving the boat where it
had stranded, the two leaped their
steeds into the river and, plunging in
after them, led them ashore through
the shallow water until at last they
stood upon the opposite shore.
There they mounted. It was now
twilight, and the dense underground
made riding impossible after they had
traversed a few dozen yards. They
were compelled to dismount and lead
their horses again, pushing aside the
branches and the dense, tangled
masses of vegetation that almost con-
cealed the trail. Suddenly they saw
a camp fire in the distance. The fer
ryman, at Johnson's instructions, re-
NAMED behind, holding the horses,
while Johnson, his revolver in his
hand, went cautiously forward.
The quest was fruitless, for the
camp was occupied by perfectly re-
spectacle hunting party, none of
whose members in the least resembled
Harris. They told Johnson, however,
that another camp existed further in
the depths of the thickets. Johnson
brought back the news to the ferry
man, and so they made their way
forward once again, in almost pitch
black obscurity, until at length the
gloom was dispelled by the leaping
blaze of roaring fire short distance
ahead of them
Il guess we've got them now" said
Johnson. "You stand by and take
charge of the horses, and wait until I
give you the signal. When 1 want you
I'll whistle. Then leave the horses and
come quickly with your gum"
Leaving his companion in the shad-
ow Of the trees, johnson went for

then informed her that he had been
lying just outside the cabin and had
heard her and her husband discussing
the murder, and the way in which it
was committed, and added that Trum-
bly, had already made complete con-
fession. Mrs. Trumbly then admitted
her knowledge of it, telling the same
story that Trumbly had told. Trum-
bly, and his wife were then taken to
Judge Edmonson's office, where they
repeated their story.
Watts then called up the authori-
ties at Sallisaw, detailed the story of
the confession, and asked for writ
for the arrest of Harris. The Salli-
saw authorities, however, insisted that
an affidavit would have to be made at
Sallisaw before writ could be issued.
1t was then decided to call in the
chief marshal of the Northern district.
Meanwhile there was great excite
ment at Fort Smith on the arrival Of
the pair. William Eugene Johnson
happened to be in town at the time.
He was planning the series of sensa-
tional raids upon the Indian Territory
bootleggers which were to make him
famous, and he was not intensely in
terested in this news until somebody
mentioned that Harris and his party
had been peddling whisky on their
journey down the river.
Instantly Johnson was a changed
man. He buzzed to and fro like a
bee, always in the thick of things,
and, meeting Watts, offered to call
up Marshal Bennett and secure writ
for Harris arrest, and that of the
woman who was with him. Warrants
were accordingly issued and sent to
Eufaula, and officials of the govern
ment gathered there and began scour-
ing the country to discover the where
abouts of the fugitives.
Meanwhile Johnson, having secured
photographs of Harris and his STEP
daughter, joined the throng of search
ers. It was at first believed that the
murderer and the girl had gone to
San Antonio, Texas, and this report
led to a slackening of the pursuit.
Johnson never slackens. He had
started out to find the man who was
debauching his Indians-and, Incl
dentally, had murdered his son-in-law,
and he meant to get him. While trav-

McKeehan pass him, and then, creep
ing up behind him, he struck him
on the back of the head with an iron
bolt, knocking him down, and after
ward struck him twice more to make
sure that he had killed him. Harris
then took $40 from McKeehan's clo-
thing and threatened to kill Trumbly
unless he remained with the body
while he went for a sack. He got
the sack, and the two men put the
body in the sack, weighted it with the
iron, and sank 1t in the river. Then
Harris took his step-daughter into the
boat and started for Eufaula, while
Trumbly and his wife drifted down
the river to Fort Smith.
Trumbly was placed in the county
Jail, and the next move was to search
for his wife and find out what she
knew about the murder. Mrs. Trum-
bly, had not been in the shack at the
time of her husbands arrest, and did
not know that he was in Jail. Watts
and Henderson accordingly went back
and found her, informing her that she
was under arrest. She stoutly denied
having any knowledge of the matter.
A few days previously Watts had
sold McKeehan a pair of shoes, and
on the way to the Jail the party
passed the goods that were marked
for shipment to Harris at Eufaula
why didn't you leave McKeehan's
shoes on him when he was muir
