The first is done largely by maidens many and young men a few who study all the picturesque attitudes of the art "galleries 'and comic opera troupes for actual Illustration on the sand orjhotelalconies, or in hammocksand open coaches. The rest of the lying is done with great business-like ability by some of the'.hotel keepers, and with great liberality and vividness by the newpaper reporters and letter writers. .There is also great piciuresquecess and originality in the work'of the latter, which can neither be described nor imitated nor improved upon; and I will not endeavor to emulate it, though, at times, I am not a bad liar myself. I have been all along the coast daring the past fortnight in Bearch of the naughty things the newspaper people hare been describing, and some of the incidents I have picked up ought to furnish rather interesting readlog. At Newport the bay was fall of pleasure yachts the finest fleet of the kind in the world, as far as I know. Life on thesa yes seises luxurious and a little lascivious. The utmost freedom of the sexes seems to prevail, and it is no uncommon thine to observe young men and girls asleep on deck in the same silk-woven hammocks. It is the rule rather than the exception that handsome wives of owners and guests, after wine and game dinners which Lucullus would have envied, if he had not dined and dilated some 2,000 years too soon, shall rest on the deck in the hammocks of others rather than those of their cwn liege lords. Able seamenof the yachts are speel ally employed to fan the couples thus re posing: and I am told that one very dis creet millionaire who issues many invita tions for long cruises on his large fleet steam yacht, accompanies each invitation with a poetcript notice to the effect that "no Beaman on the can either hear. speak or write." The Newport ladies have reduced hammc cirtation to a science, and the attitudes into which they can throw themselves in these pliant couches would justify a true artist in throwing the "Three Graces" overboard and substituting yacht owners' wives and daughters as models. At Narragansett rier the bathing cos tumes this season are models of beauty, of color and of brevity. The ordinary silk tights of the ballet are used, with the ad' diiion of a belt at the waist and garters just above or just below the knee, as the modesty of the wearer may suggest I say modesty advisedly, for it is the custom (or the fashion), for this season only, for gen tlemen to adjust the garters whenever they become displaced by the waves, as they often do; and fashion also decrees that.for modesty's sake,' thisveiv frequent task must be performed while the garter is be low the water, and out of sight ot the vul gar, unbathing crowd that lines the shore. A corset is worn, as in ordinary attire,and over and above this, and extending half way to the knee, a jersey conceals the well, it conceals the corset. It Is impera tive that the color of the tights shall be the exact shade of the hair worn on that spe cial occasion. Tights are to be changed as often as the hair. The "New Jerusalem" has been establish ed at Long Branch. I found Their Royal Highnesses Prince and Princess Joachim eon installed at the West End Hotel. Tae Trince is ths only resident noble of the Jew ish persuasion in America, and, of course, he and the Princess are followed from place to place as they make their summer heeiia of the watering places. No other language than the Hebrew is spoken by the Isrelites at Long Branch, Bo, few of the Americans, and even the American and English born Jews here, could enjoy theerand thoughts of the Prince and the poetic language in which he spake them Host Hildreth, Lawyer William S. Bsat and myself were really the only Americans who could appreciate the facinations of Jewish ideas expressed in the Hebrew tongue, and as Best is only a Scotchman, though caught and civilized early, he don't count. Prince Joachimson and his predcessorshave lived at the West End for about 120 succesive seasons, and over 100 - Hebrew families follow the American head of the Nation there every year. H is so particular about the employment of his own language that Mr. Hildreth has to have the Prince's bills made out in Hebrew. This is done very expertly by Hiidreth's skillful clerk, who first writes the bill out in German-American words and figures, places it before a costly hand-mirror, and reproduces the reflection. Hillions were spent in improving and redecorating Long Branch preparatory to this season. The Lelands, at the Ocean House; the owners of the Iron pier; the Pennsylyaula and Central Jersey railways, Iaucb, Phil Daly, E. L. Brown and others combined must have spent at least $2,000, 000 in repainting the Ocean Hotel, in addIt g to the safety of the pier, in constructing tew and gorgeous depots, in decorating tbelr restaursTtfs and club houses and in fcniidicg additional morgues at Elberon. Their liberality Las already secured its just reward. The region about the pier and the ocean House has come to be distinctly known as "Sheeneytown." More people l$n ever get o2 (and get away as soon as possible) from the depots; Daly's Club ilouse is recognized as a spotless white and

pure place of perpetual pleasure and punches, while Elberon has been made to

look more dead-alive than it ever has ap peared since Mr. E. L. Brown first selected the color of his houses and the title of his town from bis own euphonious name. The bookmakers at the Monmouth Park race course nave been practically ruined by two curious characters who have ap peared there for the first time this season. "Pittsburg Phil," by his tremendous plunglsg actually putting a $100 bill on a "short horse" to winhas demoral'zei the boldest of the bookmakers, such as Cridge, Murry and Phil Daly. "The Tip Terror" of the Sun, who has proved the fact that anybody who has followed the "tips" given by the New York newspapsr report ers must inevitably have lost his money, has scared away many of the fools who followed newspaper advice; and this has also helped to ruffle the book makers, who find lambs as scarce as they are In Wall street Tom Jolly, at Phil Daly's Pennsylvania House, assured me, with as straight a face as he could put on, that Daly, as a bookmaker, had lost $120,000 in five days. He saw I appeared incredulous, and he added, nonchalantly: "Of course, t make up the losses here at night." If the laro, roulette, rouge et nor, dice and other tables are idle, why, Daly starts a game or hearts, and tuen John i'onair comes in every night to play cribbage. I felt, somehow, on hearing this that Daly's would not close this season. As the book makers at Monmouth Park are 200 in number, pay $175 each per day for the sea son that Is, tor twenty-eight days, $1,234,000 their failure and consequent retire ment to poverty or "small cards" would positively be a public calamity. Ah! ABbury Park is the spot to see the daisy bathers. There are not more than thirty woman to each man there, and even old bald-heads get a front seat. I got one myself last Sunday, and saw a sight to behold, but hardsy to be described. A beautiful lily of New Jersey came all the way from Long Branch to bathe, bringing her escort and his chaporone with her in her own carriage. When she emerged from her bath-room she was a picture ot beauty and grace and good clothes. A perfectly fitting black siik Jersey revealed the ample proportions of her bust; a blast silk turban made her classic heal all the more shapely, and her limbs were encased in tights of the same raven hue with a gold Ud, a la soldier stripes down the sides. She plunged boldly in the waves and swam with matchless skill far beyond the point to which her less daring swain would follow. He returned to the shore and stayed there, as he shivered and shud dered and jabbered in the cooÜ3h air, en treating her to return and directing his man to bring a package of life preservers. At last, listening to his en treaties, the Beauty came ashore. The two then gracefully reclined on the sand and the man servant then approached with a large bilver scoop, not unlike the tin sugar scoop of the ordinary grocery, except that the bottom was perforated as a sieve. As the Lily lay at full length the Dude, half lying, half reclining, springled dry sand over her from her neck to her feet. It was done most deliberately and carefully. It was not laid on thick to the depth, I should say, of not more than a third of an Inch certainly not enough to conceal the msgmficlent proportions of her person. He then covered himself in the same way, and the two rested in their sun baths Jfor probably a quarter of an hour, the whole of Asbury Park meantime gathering in a circle sixteen to twenty deep about them in breathless admiration. One latecomer a cadaverous ol i fellow, with long hair, a white choker and a sanctimonious air generally elbowed his wav through the crowd, and, as he glanced at the sandbathing beaflty, he raised his voice in mel ody, saying, ''My eyas have seen the coav ing of the glory of the day," at which the dude, thus rudely disturbed, rose, brushed the sand carefully from every part of the lady's person,, and the two again plunged into the ocean, while the crowd took up the parson's chorus. Every one of the above stories is a full fledged fiction; but they are quite as true as most of the tales told from these water ing places by inventive letter writers for the Press. These writers go to these sum mer resorts evidently under the impression that they must approach the wicked as near as possible without touching it, and never tread near the truth at alL Serious ly they do a great deal of harm by their sa lacious inventions not only harm to the hotel keepers, but injury to morality itself. A false notion of life at the real resting places of the people is given by their tales; and many ignorant or young persons uoing there for the first time, think they must go prepared to look upon fast life without blushing, and first beholding vice, learn to pity, then embrace it. The false ideas of hotel li.e. for instance, at Narragansett Pier and Long Branch, thus conveyed in dine elderly persons of religious views to crowd their daughters into such places as Martha's Vineyard and Asbury Park, where there is more religious reputation than moral conduct, with the grave draw back ot meaner and closer accommodations 'than at the higher class places. At the same time It attracts to the desirable places, tuns misrepresented, hordes of undesirable visitors from the large adjacent cities who benefit nobody but the transforation companies. The gay life at Newport is not aboard the yachts at all, as many writers this season have apparently combined to aay. It is all cottage life there, while it is all hotel life at Narragansett Pier, and very circumspect are both the lives uniformly led at the two places. The bathing costumes of neither Narragansett Pier nor Asbury Park are unduly immodest, though the style in which they are soberly written about Is not greatly burlesqued in what I have said above. "The attraction to me," said Gen. Roger A. Fryor, as we sat on a hotel balcony overlooking the bathers at Narragansett Pier, "lies in the varied, ever changing colors of their costumes ." 'At Asbury Park there is a great superfluity of women, and the men axe much sought af ter there, but the bathing Is not Immodest; and the only air of indecorum In the the too free and easy intimacy of the sexes

arises from the too great preponderance of marriageable girh over the marriageable young men. But that is an inevitable consequence of Indiscriminate crowding, and not all the moral laws of Bradley, the proprietor of Asbury Fark, or those of Lsviticas itself will compel human nature to

reverse itself. For some reason or another the papers have lately tried to make it appear that the Jews banished from Manhatten Beach and Saratoga have made Long Branch their summer home, and that they have crowded Hlldreth's West End Hotel. The fact is that some ten families of Jews have made that houso their summer home for twelve years past. I know many of them like ex-Judge Joachimson, and they are uniformly quiet, polite and agreeable. They go there in July and August and to Saratoga in September, and are heartily welcomed at both places. Ex-Judge Joachimson is a prince of an order ot his nation, though he never obtrudes the fact on anybody. The Wet End is, without any sort of comparison, the best hotel in the place or vicinity, and it istheHildreths pride to keep.it so. They have half a million of dollars in proirty at the turn of Ocean avenue, and must necessarily spend large sums every year to malntala.it in good condition and in (rood character. Hildreth and John Hoey are the only men who ha Ye spent any money at all in improving Long Branch for years past. Elberon has not improved a particle for two jeors or more, and l don't think toe hotels at Long Branch proper those north of the Howland House have bad a coat of paint in the Eame time. Yet all are filled not all of them with the most select people in the world. Probably Hildreth and Hoey and the Howland Hotel people are the only ones who particularly inquire as to the character of the guests they receive. Hildreth's hotel and cottages, and Hoey's Hollywood cottages are unsurpassed for elegance any where.and that both have this season, so far, done the best business they have in years, is evidence of the character not only cf the places thamselves, but of the people who patronize them. The bookmakers at -Monmouth Park have met with'some reverses. I am told that Phil. Daly did actually lose $12,000 in five days of last week and many others lost heavily on various occasion but they stil live and enjoy life, and I notice that some of the outsiders go home both dead broke and dead drunE. There are sixty of these bookmakers who pay $100 a day or $163,000 for the season, for betting privileges The jacing association averages about $15,000 a day of receipts from other sources and say $20,000 a day from gate money and betting privileges; but it aims to get 0' per cent on its investements and probably does a little better. Some of the purses given are Immenee. On Saturday last I am told the added money of the assocation aggregated $20,C00. Wm, F. G. Sharks. An Old Republican's Opinion. UTipton Times. David Munsoa, of Indianapolis, was ask ed by a Times scribe last Saturday, what he thought of the accused conspirators. He said that they were fasely accused and were only being persecuted by a gang ot Republicans who had been stealing and plundering from the people for the past twenty years. He further said that he had been a Republican all his life, but had seen so much ot Republican methods at that place that he was disgusted with their acts. Besides, he said, that one defalca tion after another had occurred under Re publican rule there, and the amount ot stealing had never been made good to the people. Several, Tresaurers of Marion county, and the city Treasurer otindianspolis, were defaulters to the amount of several thousand dollars and since the "gang" had been routed the people were getting thii just deserts. Smith vs. Jones. Lest any one should imagine for a mo ment that John Smith is the commonest name in Indianapolis, the city directory is authority for the fact that that time-honored cognomen is eclipsed, by the ign omi nous Wm. Jones, who is more numerous, the score standing 30 to 41 in favor of Wm. Jones. "Old Hickory' Tender Heart. I I-etters of Francis P. Blair in Atlantic! Let me tell you a fact to make you sensible of the deep-rooted, affectionate attachnent of which the rough bosom of a warworn veteran is susceptible. Earl has a few days ago received from the Hermitage Mrs. Jackson's portrait. He did not intend that the President should see it, but stepped in by accident when Earl was copy ing from it. He stood and giaad at it for a few moments with some fortitude, until as the association rose in his mind he began to weep, and his sobs became 83 deep that Earl carried the picture away to relieve him. He has a bible in which a great many favorite passages were marked by his wife, one of these he reads every morning religously. This Is devotion, but whether it bs of the right kind I leave you to judge. He and I were Hitting one day alone on the sofa, and I alluded in some way to his attachment for his little Riebet. He said she was the solace of his waning life, and that the father (his adopted sin) had been nursed on the bosom of Mrs. Jackson. She felt for him all the tenderness of a mother; that she parted with birn, even to go to Nashville to school, with reluctance, and looked for the returnit g Saturday with more anxiety than the boy himself. Where They Wer Born. I San Francisco Chronicle. Sometime after the war General Crittenden met three ex-Confederate oflicers at dinner, and they becamevery friendly. "Major," said General Crittenden to one of them, "where were you born?" "WelL" said the Major, getting a little red, 4,i;wasborn, sir, in Naitucket, Mas., but you see I lived ten years in the South, and I married a Southern lady, and all my interests are in the South, of course I fought fer them." "And where were you born?" he asfced the second. "Well, sir, I was born In Nantmket, Mass., but I'd lived In the South twenty years, and of course " 'I see," esid tbe General, turning to the third, "Colonel where were you bornr 'I was born in Nantucket, Mass., too but I'd been thirty ye jrs in the South, and , "That's curious, is'ntltr "Tell me, General," ald one of them, "where were you born ?" "WflL I was bora in Houtwell, Ala., but I lived In the North for many years, and I fought for the Union." Thea they ii drank arjuad.

SAN MATEO'S OUTLAW

The Terror Closed by the Opsr&titms ot Rippel YidaL Badly Frightened Citizens Organization of.a. Vliilanc Committee for the Parpose of Hanging Ulm. fAlta Caiifornian.1 ('I ran across the toughest citizen ot San Mateo County during a recent investigation there," said a local detective while giving an account ot his trip to an Alta reporter yesterday. In answer to inquiries the keen-eyed operative related the daring escapades of Rappel Vldel, the outlaw terror. It was early in the '70's that he first made his appearance in San Mateo county. When ne first entered the county his favorite pastime was stealing horses. This caused his arrest in 1S73 aud imprisonment in the County Jail at Redwood City. He broke jail, but was recaptured and completed his sentence. Then he disappeared for a time, and sought new fields in the Southern part of the State. That section of the country finally becoming too hot for him, he returned to his old haunts three years ago. Since that time his antics have caused him to be styled tne "bad man of San Mateo." According to the statement of the District Attorney, he is the only bad man in the county. It would seem that the officers are afraid to arrest them. So fright caed have the residents become that no one dares to lodge a complaint or swear out a wai rant against him, as he has threatened to kill the first person who does so. Whether he is a bluffer or a desperate tighter no one knows. It is sufficient to say that none of the citizens have possessed sufficient backbone to resist his bluff and pive him battle. If the tongh depends on bis appearance to frighten the timid citizens he has certa'nly been successful. He is a large, powerful man, and his belt is alWftJS adorned with a pair of hu?h sixshooters, which he manipulates with considerable skill. He speaks b rotten English, but bis face wears such a fiendish expression that his demands are complied with in great haste. Alter his second advent in the county the eyes of the people were first opened to the "greaser's" daring by the manner in which he obtained a wile. A Portugese laborer was living in the little hamlet of San Felipe, which boasts of three houses. Early one morning the Portugese was confronted by Videl, who held his favorite shooting irons in : his hands. "I Ilka your wife," said the renegade, "and I want her. You giva her to me, or I killa you both." The frightened Portugese hastily replied: "All righta, Mr. Rappel, you take her," and fled from the house, leaving the "ter or" in undisputed possession. The deposed husband received such a scare that he neither made any attempt to raclalm his house or spouse, and Videl has remained in possession of both ever since. A week later the outlaw was gone several days on a grand drunk and bulldozing expedition through Halfmoon Bay and ban Mateo. During his absence he heard that one of the Murphy brothers, who run a saloon at San Felipe, had been intimate with his "wife." He quickly returned loaded to the neck with bad whisky, with blood in his eye, and with a determination to "clean out" the Murphys. When he rushed into the saloon the proprietors of the place quickly retreated and hid in the sage brush. It was with many pangs that they watched the "clean Ingout" process ot the ex-horse thief. What he could not saaash or destroy was thrown out into the roadway. Every lamp, bottle and piece of glassware in the house was demolished and the liquor wasted. It was thus without a protest that Murphys saw the savings of years destroyed. They made no complaint end the outlaw becoming emboldened by success, carried on his raids in other localities with a still higher hand. A thirsty tourist stepped off the train at San Mateo last week, and entered the barroom for the purpose of refreshing the inner man. When he went in he saw the barkeeper white as a sheet and trembling in every limb. "Here, barkeeper, what's the matter with you?" asked the recent arrival: "hurry up, snd give me a gin toddy." "Oh, God!" replied the f tightened mixalogiat; "be has been here." "Who is he?" "Why, him Vldel " said the barkeeper, pointing to the "bad man" who re-entered the place at that moment. Tic tourist was saying, "I'd like to see the man that would scare me," whea be felt tho cold muzzle of the ravolver prefstd against h's temple. "Say, stranger," cooly spoke the renegade, "you take some wb'ieka 'with a mea. This Is a ona tha barkeepea." The tourist complacently gave up the gin toddy, and after gulping down a tumblerfull of "tarantula juice," made his escape from town on the next train, although he bad intended to remain several weeks. Terror is no wcrd for the fear with which the ex-convict is regarded. In the various saloons and hotels in the vicinity of Half Moon Bay and San Mateo, everything has been free to him. At times he has demanded money from hotel or saloon men, who have given it rather than risk his anger. Videl ran San Mateo in such a highhanded manner on the 4th of July that the young men of the town determined to capture and kill him. They gathered in groups of ten and twelve on the corners, each vowing vengeance. Each declared their eagerness for an en cou liter. Finally the burly form of Rappel was seen emerging from a saloon, and with a basty exclamation of "here he comes," the youths fled precipitately in all directions. Videl continued to frighten saloon-keepers and drink at their expense until 9 o'clock In the evening. Then a messenger was sent to Redwood City asking the Sheriff to send a posse and arrest the "terror." A posse was formed, but singular to relate, the officers did not reach San Mateo until an hour after midnight, when Videl had quietly made himself scarce. What kept the vigilant officers away so long? The cltitens of San Mateo were of the opinion that they were afraid to encounter Videl and that they purposely postponed entering the town until he had departed. Since tben the young men of the town have held several meetings and formed a vigilance committee. They have sworn tc make Videl "stretch hemp" the next time he appears on the warpath. ASLEEP SEVEN MONTHS. A BemaikabU Caa ot Catalepsy la. an II Hoots Tuva, Joliet SpeciaL The case of Mrs. Herbert, the cataleptic of St Joseph's Hospital, this city, is attracting very wide attention end appears to batll-j tue efforts ot medical men to properly diagnose it For 219 days she has slept, and all the ingenuity and skill that has been brought to bear to bring her back to conrclousness has been unavailing. She continues to sleep day alter day and has wasted away physically until she is almost a phantom. Local spiritualists declare her to be in the trance state and say she will make some astonishing revelations before 4ong. Cranks besiege the hospital, desirous of obtaining a view of the famous sleeper, but they are rigidly excluded. Mtan while tbe impassive object of their curioeity s'.ta in an easy chair provided for her In tbe hospital, bhe rareiy moves a rourcle, and should the attendant raise her arm acd not replace it oa her Up it would remain In the exact position In which it had been placed until again moved by the doctor or nune. Tbe sleeper furnished everybody a surprise ye er day, homer. Old MrsBaros,

who knew Mrs. Herbert before her catalepsy occurred, occupies the same ward with her, and yesterday was left alone for a time with the sleeper. Sister Barbara, hearing an alarm from that ward, hastened thither and found Mrs. Burns crouched upon the floor crossing herself vigorously and in a state of great excitement She told the following story of her experience with Mrs. Herbert: "Lord help me, but I thought I'd have a

fit whin l saw the lids cf her eyes rollin' and she loo kin' at me wid all her might, as if she'd look a hole through me body. Whin she seen how bad I was scared she set up langhin', and thin, before I could get a word in edgeways, she began to rattle away about her neighbors as fast as a horse could trot. The sound of her voice was so sharp that it gave me a pain in me ears, and I shook me hand at her by way of bid din' her to stop her clitter, but she kep rieht on, lek she was wound up fur a month. At last Bhe stopped long enough to take her breath, when I axed why It was she didn't spake to her childer whin they came to see her t'other day. Wud ye belave it, the minit I put that to her she snapped her eyes anut lek two traps, and her jaws wint together like a bang. Divil the word more could I get out of her." Dr. Ward the physician who has attended Mrs. Herbert closely, had a slmular experience with ber some time aeo, She had then been asleep three months, but the doctor was not even then convinced that Bhe was cot ehamming. One day he observed that the pose of the woman's head indicated that she had bten leaning forward and had quickly straightened it up as he entered the room. Her hands were extremely cold and her lips a deep purple. Her face was as pallid as death. The doctor told her to stand up. She did not move until he touched her shoulder, whan she immediately stood up, her arms hanging lifeless at her side. The doctor had 'a small footstool placed in thefr path, and tben said: "Now, Mrs. Herbert we will take our morning walk." "It msy have been- imagination," sa'd the doctor, "but I thought I saw the suggestion of a sto le play about the corners of her mouth e- I spoke to her. However, holding her hai in mine, I led the way to the center c he room, where sister Barbara had pie d the foot stool, and ai we neared it I tickened the pace somewhat nnd Mrs. 'Herbert tripped over it, and would certainly have fallen had I not been there to catch her. As she straightened herself up she opened her eyes for a moment only and then burst out laughing. It seemed to be a hysterical lauh, bat she was over it in a moment and she became apparently as insensible as ever to any physical emotion from that day until yesterday, when she is alleged to have talked at length to Mrs. Burns. It is certainly the case," continued Dr. Ward, "that she is now as fast asleep as ever, and it is a grave question whether her next awakening, Bhould the Interregnum of apathy be extended to the same period as has been noted in the past, will not be in an another world." Mrs. Herbert receives only about enough food daily to sustain life in a bird, the doctors Bay, and it is their opinion that she cannot long live in her present con dition. INDIANA FAIRS.

Is itjbecausehot weather produces a lassitude that tempts neonle to resort to stimulants c u tnis oe so, a good many sunstrokes might be accounted lor. I observe that In 8t Lonis, where the heat has been almost intolerable this summer, people have found out that much beer drinking in hot weither is dangerous, and that.

DEVIL'S WORK.

INew York 8un.l The number of crimes committed in this country out of which may be termed "pure cussedness," is astonishingly large, and Includes many murders. The death of Charles J. Walton, as mentioned in Chicago papers the other day, recalls the par ticulars of a crime of thirty years ago which made a great stir at the time, but which can not now be remembered by a dozen persona. At the time of the murder Walton was a boy eleven years ot age, ana was in the employ of a farmer named John Courtwright, In Central Illinois. One rainy day in the fall the two were skellia; beans in an old barn about half a mile from the farm house. It had come to ba 3 o'clock in the aiternoon, when the farmer, using bis knile to cut oil a piece of tobacco, let it slip through a crack in the floor. The boy went outdoors and crawled under to secure it. It was a close squeeze for him, and he had not yet reached the spot when he heard three men enter the barn. The sound of their voices proved then strangers in the neighborhoo 1. The spokesman Baid they had come to see if the farmer had a horse to sail. He replied that he had not, when one of the men laughed and said : 'Come, old fellow, we don't want a horse. We want to see you dance and hear you sing." Courtwright was neither strong nor In good health, and he was pr jbably afraid ot the men from tha nrst, as the boy noted tht his voice trembled when he spoke. He protested that he could neither Bin nor dance, but the man who spoke before then exclaimed : Give us a song and dance, or wa 11 cut your throat'' The farmer must have realized that they meant him harm, and he btgan to nog and beseech and offer to buy tuaui oT. Ho had about a dollar in change in bis pock:, and be gave them this, together with a fcaue and pipe. The trio bad no sooner stripped him than they armed theaiselve wita same switches used to orive the oxen an.l proceeded to whip the poor man until his screams seemed likely to ba heard at the highway hall a mile on. oung Walton was terribly frightened, and he explained why he did not go for help by saying: "There was no one at our honse bat Mrs. Courtwright, and no neighbor nearer than a mile and a half. As it was raining, no one would be likely to be passing oa the road. And, too, there wis such a lot of rubbish under the barn that I coild not move without making a great nols?, and I felt that they would certainly hear me." When the farmer began to snout ror help they knocked him down and girgel him with a handkerchief, and then their devilish thirst for blood became more ap parent One of them seized ths farmer's left hand and coolly and deliberately broke every finger in succession. Taey pulled off his boots and applied liontel matches to the soles of his feet, and with their knives creased the soles in every dir ection. They at nrst seemed to delight in his violent struggles, but finally used chains and ropes to tie htm down. The man kept up a constant groaning, and alter a time the boy was so overcome with ter ror that he could not have moved if he so desired. CWhen they had kept up their torture for about half an hour," he said, "the gag came loose, and Mr. Courtwright called out to them in the name ot God to spare his life. He offered them $300 he had in the bank and a deed of his farm if they would let him go, but they only mocked him. One of them Baid it was the greatest snort he bad had In twenty years, and another said he had always wanted to sae how much a man could suffer before death came to relieve him. Most of the time they had their victim eaeeed, so that I could not hear his voice, except as he kept ud a moaning, but sometimes, when the gag was loosened, he cried and begged of them in a way to melt your heart" Ths catting and slashing of the farmer did not satisfy the cruel natures ot the tormentors. One of them had a muzzle loading pistol, and he loaded it with small charges of powder, and fired them into the naked body of Courtwright. Another stuck his legs full of splinters. These two latter mode of punishment furnished the cluebv which the murderers were overhaul ed. When they had been at their internal work for nearly an hour they began to tire of it. Tne farmer was In a dying condi tion, and they finished htm with a cnife, The boy heard every word and movement, and he said: "I heard them talk about finishing 'te old fellow' oft. and there was quite a eis Düte as to who should use the tore, l was finally decided and the I fellow sharp ened the biade on his boot, and then kept thrusting and counting, 'Oae two, three, and so ou ud to sixteen, and these wer the number counted on the dead uoay. 1 was lying on my stomach on the grorind just under the body, atid the warm blood ran tbroueh the cracts on my neaa ana shoulders." As soon as the trio had lef th9 biy crawled out to give the alarm, but it was 9 o'clock at night betöre any considerable number cf men had fathered and the pur suit was taken up. The men were tracked to a point north of Pekin, where they stole horses from a held ana neaaea ior raon mouth. To the north of that placa they stole a team and made for the Mississippi river, and there all traces of them were lost. It seems that they stole a shanty boat and started off down the river, and ware nex heard of three weeks later at the mouth of tbe Illinois river. Taey tied their boat to the shore and roamed around the country in a lawless way. and one night a farmer tfcot one of them in the leg as he was rob bing the hen-house. The man had a pistol, and he fired back at the farmer and missed. It was then knocked from his grasp, and as he lay on the ground he gritted his teeth in rage and exclaimed: "You Infernal hound ! But how I'd like to revenge on you! I'd like to shoot you lull of powder and fill your flesh with splinters." Tbe words caught ihe farmer's attention. He had read ot the murder of Courtwright, and he believed be had one of the mea. Givinff the alarm to three or four of his neighbors, they secured the wounded man and then set out for the boat house. They were fired on, but when they had killed one of the men the other surrendered. Deing chsrged with the Courtwright murder, he held out for a while, and then confessed. Out of the dozen men who hal by this time gathered together not a voice was raised to turn the prisoners over to the Sheriff and the law. The one nahurt was strung up within half an hour oi 'ais confession, and the wounded one a l'itla later on. When life was extinct the bodies were weighted and sunk in the river. Just who the men were was never known, bat they were rufiians of the worst description, wbo were prohably making their way to Missouri and beyond and living oa the country as they went, The one who confessed said they meant onlyito rob Courtwright, but his betrayal of fear angered br, snd tLer kili&d rtina fvr bring a lO-E.'.l. !
