After four shots, the woman ran inside, and Mr Sanders said, "We have only one good charge of powder left, we will keep that uutil supper time, and have a stunuer."

After warmer, the childru took Leo and went on the ice again. Fastening the dog to a sled, the boys had much fun in trying to make him draw Hattie. Every little while he would back ou them, and they would fall in a heap, when Leo would be the first to extricate himself, and shake the snow all over them. Tired of this, they N were about returning to the house, when Charlie called them to see some fish frozen in the ice. They were near the edge, looking ut the little things, when they were sturtled by the report

of the cannon. "0 exclaimed Huttie, springing up, "I was so"—

"What is that John interrupted, as a loud, long, cracking soiyid, was heard.

Tho edge of the ice they stood upon had broken from the main portion the crat^c, which looked no wider than a tbr.eud when Charlie pointed, widened as they run they could feel that there was motion bo neath them. Startled by the same noise", their friends on shore, for the •first time, perceived them, and became awart of their danger.

Shouting to them to hasten, they at the some time ran down the bluff to their aid: Tho seam became wider and wider, and just as both parties were within a few feet of either edge, tho detached portion came into the in

The sudden impetus staggered Hattie, and she pitched forward on her face, a few inches more, and she would havo been iu the icy river. The boys drew her back, and in obedience to a command shouted by Mr. Sanders, withdrew to the middle of the piece of ico. As they did so, Leo—who could easily have swam the space— gave a long howl, and followed them. lying down at Ilattic's seet.

Half frantic with terror, Mrs. Lape and Mrs Sanders, who had come out with only a shawl thrown over their heads, ran along the ice by the shereas tho cake weut off, calling to their children, and regardless of anything their husbands said, nattic who trembled so she could not stand, sat in the contre of tho cake, Leo at her feet, and the two boys beside her. Every few minutes, as a piece of ico would come against them and jar them, or fragments wouldlreak from that they were on,,she would half spring to her feet, and Leo would give that terrible, long drawn howl.

The current or the river was swift where it was free, and they moved quite rapidly. •'There is no boat," said Mr. Sunders, "and if we bad one it would be of little uso. John (to a laborer) put the horses in the sleigh, with robes and

blankets, and a bottle of whisky, and follow us, driving down the river road." *.

"They will be stopped at Boston," said another laborer, "if they are not drowned afore the river is gorged there."

"My God!" exclaimed Mr. Lapo, "that is fifteen miles off, and that edge ice does not look strong."

p?f So they ran for a couple of miles. The boys would answer, bat the wind was against them, and only occasionally could they be heard. Now they began to near an island in the river, and the current, following the channel, took them to the far side of it, out of sight. In agonising silence their friends sped oo through the snow that here was piled in drifts. As the voices of -the boys were again heard, telling

constant calling, but Leo's howl was the only answer. Now came the fear they would be frozen to death. Boston was still eight miles distant, and the night was getting colder and colder. Still they kept up that fearful chase along the edge of the ice, where a misstep would plunge them into the freezing river, which was almost certain death.

A mile further they reached a cabin on the river bank, inhabited by an old pilot. He was roused from his bed by Mr. Sander's orders'. "There is a gorge a mile or HO below—right round the bend—they will be stopped there. The ice is piled at that point clear across the river It that bit they are on only keeps all right, we will have them. I wish that dog would stop howling, though."

same assertion before. "I'd like to know what is to make it rotten in such weather as this? It would have lasted until the February thaw, if you had not fired that cannon. The danger is that it will be capsized, or the children thrown off, when it reaches the jam at the gorge, for it comes there with a rush. Help me to get this dugout on my shoulders, it might as well go along.

Under the guidance of the pilot, and still hailing the children, they kept ou. The river now widened, until it was nearly a mile across. Mr. Lape and Mr- Sanders were silent, except to ask necessary (juestions: only a cow-bell, which has been fastened to tho sleigh to tell of its whereabouts, broke the

stillness. They neared the bend, and

They had passed the middle of the river, when, wedged in with other masses, they saw that on which the children was, moving toward where I they had halted. They strained their eyes, and stood fixed. "Let us try the boat," said Mr. Lape, poiuting to the clear space before them.

."It would be stove to atoms in a minute by one of those blocks," said the pilot.

As ho spoke, (he mass to which their attention was directed, separated, the larger part rounded the point swiftly, and rushing onward, met the orge, and dashed against it with a

As the words left his lips, a great mass came wth a crash against the smaller one, which it broke into fragments, dashing it up against the piled heaps of the gorge, and sending splinters and pieces in all directions, which struck them with the force of huge stones.

Dashing back o'er the wedged in fragments, he saw the pilot with another dark body in his arms, and Mr. Lape was kneeling by a third. A moment later Leo came dripping toward them from the river, shaking the freezing water over them. "Hattie is only insensible," said the schoolmaster, "her heart beats."

7 I at home. We had laid off to go to Lutheran meeting, and my brothers all came and we did go. There was big meeting that day--the second Sunday in June, was present at the conversation between Bill and Mag. after the birth of the child. Watson, Dick, myself, Glenn and Maggie were in the room! (Menu came in and asked Maggie how she was, and said, "I understand you lay this child to me." She said, "Yes l'do." Then there was a silence of ten minutes. Watson offered to forward matters. Glenn said it was of but little use for him to say much —she has the advantage of him in the law.

Cross-Eramineif.

Was at home the second Sunday in June. Job Deer, William Glenn and brothers and sisters were all there. Stayed till along in the evening. Did not all leave nt once. Know it was the second Sunday by Lutheran meeting. At the conversation* between Bill and Maggie, Bill came into the room, and ,said, "This is a bad affair"—took a chair and sat down by the bedside. I went in to hear what was said. When he first went in, he said good morning. He then said this is a bad state of affairs. Then Watson lectured about God. Then Glenn spoke—"I understand you say this is my child." She said. Yes. I do." Then there was a pause. She did not say, -'I have said it was yours."

Have not had evidence copied out. That Sunday I saw at lot going to meeting, and know that Job Deer was there. Don't know about Dick and the mares and Glenn going away together.

The Olenn-Clore Seduction Case.

In about an hour Miss Dora llnnna came and ordered me away. I was prevented from having any conversation, whatever, with the girl. I staj-ed about quarter of an hour after that, and then went away without having any interview. Have had no conversation with her since. Never saw any other man out with her but Dick. Went there on the second Sunday in May but did not get to see her nt all. On the second Sunday in May was not at home but at Freedom church. The conversation between me and Lindsay Hanna commenced at the house and continued till we had walked to the barn. All that he or I said about this matter was between the house and the barn. As we went out of the door he asked me how I was getting along at Garland's. I said I had not been there lately. He said there was a certain man down there who would get histcd—James Demaroe. I said Demaree was a nice man. ITe said lie thought I had a better chance down there than any body else. I told him about her having refused me. He said she and the family thought well of me and tried to persuade me to go back. said I had gone as far as I was going.

Steele left before I did. He had no opportunity of being alone with Maggie. They were passing in and out of the room all the time.

Croat- Examined.

Don't know that he had any opportunity at all. Can safely say that there was no opportunity for Dr. Steele to be alone with her.

Have been in the habit of attending the Waveland exhibitions. Have no recollection of seeeing Glenn at any except that one. Wns there on Friday night before the 2d of June. That was the only night I was there. Dr. Steelo told mother, she tells me the family is clear.

Mrs. Garland.—On the second Sunday in June I was at home all day. My children all came to visit me on that day. I know that the next Sunday was the" third Sunday. Glenn was there on the second Sunday. Didn't see him come. Saw him between sundown and dark. I was lonesome after the children went away and walked down to Hie barn, and when" I came back he was sitting near the door.

Ques. Did not Dr. Steele tell you. in the presence of Doia Ilanna and Benny Garland, at your house on the evening of his second visit to your house (the 10th of March), that he had tried to tret Margaret to tell him who the father of the child "was, and that she would m.t tell him. but that the family was clear:'

Ans. He did. The morning the child was born I was present up till about eight o'clock. 1 then took a chill. The child was born about half past four o'clock. Was up all the time till the doctor left. "Was in the room when the child was born and got the things to dress it with, but fell and retired to another room. Mrs. Cal. Garland dressed the child. Cnl. was there. After I fell I retired, and went in again about twenty minutes before the doctor left. Don't think I was out more than half an hour. Doctor remained there until we could just discern daylight. It could not possiblv have been more than an hour and a half after the birth of the child. The child was washed and dressed in the same room.

Cross-Examined—The child was born before Lindsay and Dorallannacainc. Sent for thein about midnight. Sent to Waveland iu the evening for Dr. Steele, four or five miles. John Canine was there at the time the child was born. In hunting up something to put on the child 1 fell. Tliink Lindsay and his wife were there at that lime. After 1 fell I was not in the room till about wenty minutes before '.he doctor left. William Glenn was not sent for that night.

Know it was the second Sunday in June, because my children were there", and by a meeting at the Lutheran church. Glenn eame in the evening, when the sun was an hour or two high. Was not in the same house when the child was born. Went out and stayed in the other house till after the doctor was gene. Was present when the doctor made his third and last visit there. Was in the room when the doctor came. He e.inic in and dosed out some medicine. He was telling her that she had better go away off and pass herself off as a widow." Went into the other room to get a shovel. Was not gone more than a minute. He took nie out of the room and shut the door, and said

Went 011 mv knees to her and besought her to tell me whose 1 hild it was. Sim said it was Bill Glenn's. She always said it was Bill Glenn's alter she first said so.

Cross-Examined.—About the day before was when I went 011 my knees. I "was the first one she told. Dorothy Hanna was in the room. Don't know whether she heard it. Dora and Lindsay Ilanna were sent for the night of the birth, and got there a little after or before twelve o'clock. Doctor got there a little before dav.

And did not Dick then ask him, "what do you know:'" and did he not then replv that he would hot tell him. And did he not then say that liis principal reason for coming down was to tell them that she was out of her mind and was so wild and crazy that she could not «wear the child to any one?

Ans. Ye.. Cross Exnuiihcd.—I went after the Dr. at request of Maggie, to see her child. Told him that request. Told him to get there about ihe time the 'Squire would get there.

Cross Examined.—At Brown's Valley, I gave same reasons for remembering the date that I did t.o-dav. I said the old cow had a e.tlf, and that .1 had to go over into I'arke county to get the calf. I found out she had a calf the same morning. Was at home, on portico when I saw Glenn pass. One bun dred ami eighty yards fromliim. Sitting on our portico, I can see a man riding past in the road. He was dressed in black, riding a bay horse. Saw the side of him. Have not talked to anybody about mv testimony. Lucien Clark consulted me anout seeing Gle-in that day.

Harvev Green.--Ones. Did not Dr. Steele in Wavelaud. in Dr. Ball's office on the Thursday or Friday after the birth of the child, tell you, that she. Maggie, had not yet told who the father of the child was, but that the Garland family was clear:'

Ans. Yes. Cross-Examined.—He did not slate simply that she had refused to tell the family. Did not consult with the Attorney's, or hunt up witnesses in this case.

Sally Wineland.—Was at Garland's the third Sunday in June. Wc all ate dinner at the same table. Stayed till four o'clock. Maggie went home with me.

I was there a« Ions: as Glenn stayed. I think he said he would spend his money, and hi* life. I was there listening to the conversation. The first I

knew of what was the matter with Maggie was when the doctor eame. At the gate. Heard John Hattna ay it was gnr.(i. Dr. .Steele refused to tell me what Maggie lives (ire mile« aw.iv.
