The W Zhited Qepulchre The VV Tale of O Pelee

Copyright. 19J7. by J. B. Liffincott CHAPTER VI. Constable remembered turning into the driveway after his terrific exertion; remembered tbat the girl an J her mother were standing upon the verinda; that the former stretched out her hrud to help him and the elder woman released a cutting remark. Then a servant brought a chair, and billows of nausea surged over him. Just as his consciousness waned, and he was launching, chair and all, into space, Lara's voice reached him again. Then he was in the hallway, through some miracle, and insisting most uncommonly that he was not to be taken into the library, but into the music room, because the windows there commanded the mountain. lie awoke to the interesting discovery that Miss Stansbury was fanning him. Presently she re-chilled a towel in the iced basin and folded it upon his orehead, now deliciously cool. "It's mighty sweet of you to take care of me thi3 way," he muttered grateful-'y. "How is Pelee? IIo long have I been here? The last I remember, I was lo.st In the hall, and you found me." "You've been here about three hours, Mr. Constable. Pelee is quiet again, but the whole world is white outside a perfect blizzard of ash has fallen! They say a terrible thing has happened at the extreme -northern end of the city. The River Branch overflowed her banks, and ran with boiling mud from the volcano. Thirty people are reported killed and the Usine Guerin destroyed." She thought he was considering the disaster in the silence which followed, but In reality he was battling with the old problem. "Miss Stansbury" he said finally, Mi3 there anything a man possessed of full faculties could do, ?ay or bring about that would induce your mother to spend the night off-shore?" She shook her lead. "You know that the Madame could be brought in for the mails to-morrow morning." I have taken the liberty to suggest that to mother," Lara replied. "She says that to-morrow will be time enough." "Miss Stansbury, won't you put yourelf in the care of Captain Negley tonight? I hope I'm wrong, but the Guerin disaster may be only a preliminary demonstration like the operator experimenting to find if it is dark euough to start the main fireworks. You know, I would stay ashore, and Negley is a good old man of the sea." "Don't you understand, Mr. Constable?" she said, in real distress for denyig him so repeatedly. "Don't you see ,.hat such a thing would bring down a miserable scene upon our heads? Besides, I am not thinking of my own safety as rach a paramount thing. I don't want to be one of Job's lone survivors. Mother and Uncle Joey and you must go when I do." The pale, searching face regarded her. Again he was silent. His lips were sr his eyelids half-closed. A st ; intuition wa3 borne to the woman, lie was about to renew the siege. She was not ready, and shrank from being moved to a decision which she had cot formed In the privacy of her own mind. The last two days of suffering had rendered her strangely responsive to his mental actions. His quest had filled her brain with wonders, but they were not yet coalesced impulses and inspiration without unity, unbound as yet by judgment. She wanted to yield with grace, if it came to that, but not to be overthrown. His hand reached for hers, but she drew away. "Miss Stansbury " "Please don't say it now!" she whispered swiftly, her words startling herself quite as much as the man. "These arc such dreadful hours! We must think of the crisis only of that putting behind all that passed last night!' "Until?" said Constable, f itting up. "Oh, who can tell? One knows Mr. Constable, isn't it wicked of you to muddle me this way?" A smile from him had given her the saving turn. The tension was cased. Now, as he held out his hand to her, she was not slow to accept it, or to miss the meaning of the compact. "Pelee will be beyond the sky line for as. all pretty soon," be said cheerfully, "We'll be very good pals in the meantime. Please go io the window and see how cur ogre is faring the giant who thinks he's going to eat ns when we're prime 'member tae fairy s.ory? By the way, Miss Stansbrry, did you ever hare a set of billiard ball cracking off carom oa yoir brain par?" "Yet. and ten-pin. Men don't know headache matters. The north Is clearer, sir. A little while ago it was all a seething mass of blacks and grays." An exclamation broke from her lips, and Constable joined her at the window. A dozen birds had fallen to the lawn from the eaves. Most of them were dead from the tainted air. The sight brought the situation more forcibly than ever to her mind. "I should think the birds would fly away !" she paid pityingly. "Perhaps tue mother birds are waiting for mails to come in,", suggested a voice behind them. Mrs. Stansbury was standing in the hall doorway. A gracious rain cleared the air of early evening, and Constable settled himself for a further nap at the north window upstairs. He had not reaHzed his exhaustion, and was astonished to find that It was midnight when he awoke. He was stronger, but a cyclonic headache still oppressed him. Glad though he was for the hours passed, still he was by no means nnappreciative of the chances he had taken A forlorn hope of saving the lady, even though a destroying eruption overtook them at the plantation house, had grown in his mind since the night before. To be caught asleep would render this chance a far one. The Guerin disaster might ie consid ered among the promises of Javorable issue, a9 well as a forerunner f chaos. The mountain's overflow into ' Iver Blanch might have eased tsurj upon the craters. There was r'ty nor precedent for such a ho t i'elee's fuse were burning shorter si si ,rter toward a Krakatoan cataclj-m. It was not for man to say what spark would shake the world. Still. Constable held the hope. , He tamed on the lights in the room. A cablegram had been slipped under the door. It proved to be an answer to a message he had sent to Basse Terre. in the norning, regarding the iaovementd of the Panther. "Str. Panther arrived and departed here on- time," he read. There was strength in tLe word. Tbs mail liner reasonably might b e-pecti to call at Martinique -vith the eawif, according to schedule. The mails should be ready for distribution at nine. "We'll have luncheon aboard the Madame to-morrow," Constable mused, "and while the blessed maiden is passing cake and pouring tea, the Madame will be running like a scared deer, to hitch herself to the solid old Horn, built of rock and sealed with icebergs!" He shaded his eyes at the window, staring beyond the city into the asLrn shroud -Pelee's flag of truce. "Grand old martyr," he murmured devoutly. "Hang on, hang or

There was a tap at the door, and Breea was admitted. "I haven't seen much of you in the past three irons, miscalled days," said Constable. "It is true. I have felt my own inconsequence in the presence of the big drama here. It is your drama, Peter. Then, I have found a place of many marvels." "Pere Rabeaut's?" "None other. There is something like coolness in this thrice-burned isle. Also a maiden creature, half child, half woman,, wholly wonderful." "I have been glad to Fee you make the best of things. Of course one can never tell on a cruise where one is to encounter a series of business obligations such as here." "True again," Breen said gravely. "I have been busy as that, but have accomplished nothing. Seriously, Breen, times are running close. Guerin's the first volley. To think I haven't been to the mountain; haven't taken a photograph or a note! My fellow researchers in things seismic will never forgive me for this. Breen, I thought I had a scientific mind thought that even though I bulled in all else, I was a loyal geologist ; but I have betrayed even that decent instinct. Another man. would have had the women away to sea and be attending the mountain cow ; but here I am, a child with man's tools, gassing the night through, and she across the hall marked, for nil I know, for Pelee's own! It's good to talk, though." "There's only one way when words fail, Peter. If the mountain won't recede from the maiden, you must snatch up the maiden and make a get-away from the mountain." "I'm not pirate enough, Breen," Constable replied wearily. "By the way, I'm sending some of the natives of the city the women with babes out to the Madame for cool air. There Is no reason in the world why we shouldn't entertain our friends of the shop. Soronia is too rare a creature to be immolated by Pelee's bursting boilers. She and the Pere might just as well share the benefits. You see, the presence of others makes it possible. Attend to it, will you?""Good old Peter," Breen said softly; "but I don't think they would come. Who'd feed the little song birds?" "Have her bring the birds along. They'll die there!" "I had planned not to go to the little shop again, Peter." Constable turned upon him abruptly. "Why?" said he. - 'You see, reter, she. is such a rare little soul asking so little and so ready to give her all for the promise of a man think of it. I have found a good many playthings, pottering around this little sunshot planet clear little films they are now, which stick in the brain and won't fade. Let me alone, Peter, and I'll wander back to reason presently. A very ugly album is a sinner's memory, and when it is quite full the sinner usually dies sometimes off Brooklyn piers. The truth is, I found a shred of conscience developed under your culture and Pelee's heat ; and so 1 refused another plaything, refused to crowd another film into that sullied album of mine. I lied, said I didn't understand that admiration meant anything to her and went away. Not too late, I trust. She is a natural optimist, and slow to lose faith in mankind." Constable believed that Soronia had found her first lover in Breen, and he pitied the heart so suddenly impassioned and so swiftly dethroned of its dream. He remembered the face of Soronia in the court shadows, and his pity lingered. They talked until the Panther lights shone afar in the offing, misty with dawn and volcano fog; then parted for an hour's rest. Constable was the firs! below, and there was little joy with the coming of the day". The rumblings of the mountain were renewed. The great tower of ash shot up yesterday was still falling; the trees and shrubbery in the gardens were bent with the weight of white; indeed, many branches were broken. The dismal bellowing of cattle and the stamping of ponies were heard from the barns. It was only by keeping the doors and Vndows of the house tightly shut that living was bearable. The native who brought the copy of Les Colonies wore a thick wet rag over his nostrils, and had the appearance of having freshly emerged from a bin of cement. Constable and Breen were first in the breakfast room. "This pudgy editor," Constable declared savagely, as he read the morning paper. "Yesterday I called upon him and in sweet modesty and limping French expl lined the proper policy for him to take. T--dav he devotes a half-column of in sufferable humor to my force of character aid extreme views." Constable translated Mondet's acvount of the Guerin disaster, and his assurances of the safely of Saint Pierre, so far as the mountain was concerned. "Oh, the t'akiness of that French mind!" he exclaimed. "With a volcano in the pangs of dissolution, towering over the city, h apparently in dread of an earthquake! 'Where on the island,' thus he inquires editorially, 'could a more secure place than Saint Pierre be found in the event of an earthquake visitation?' " Constable crushed the paper in his hand. lie glanced at his watch and then at th? mountain, from a habit now graven deeply. "The northern end of Saint Pierre is Hooded out like an ant hill under a kettle boiling over," he capitulated thoughtfully. "The mountain is gathering for another demonstration. Let us flee with all dispatch to the craters of the volcano, to escape this hypothetical earthquake! M. Mondet certainly enthralls me. I must call upon him again. Breen, is there any way to stimulate the distribution of the Panther mails?" CHAPTER VII. Immediately after breakfast Constable drove down to the city to send out final orders to Captain Negley, and attend certain matters having to do with the Madame's facilities for entertainment. Uncle Joey, was to go for the mails. If he could prevent. Constable t was mincÄ that there should be no hitch nor tangle at the last moment. In spite of darkish apprehensions, his heart would burst now and then Into singing, since he asked but two hours more of old Pelee, upon whose summit was now written In lightning and black cloud the ominous letters of Disaster. The ladies were left to suc-h graceful ministrations of Breen as were found needful. Mrs. Stansbury, having gained her point, imposed no further delays. The eagerness of the daughter was controlled, but in no way concealed. The past three days had left a pallor upon her face, and shadows under her eyes, bat the innate fineness of her features seemed Intensified rather than diminished by physical suffering, and the more subtle perturbations of the Inner woman. "When a strain brings out the splendor of a woman's face, mark her well for a thoroughbred," Breen had found occasion to whisper to his friend. The sentence was soul's refreshment, as Breen intended it to be. Constable, indeed, was contemplating the full significance of the words, and their nossible bearin? iiDon his present and future, as he rode down the Morae

d'Orange Into the Rns Tlctor Hugo. he little black carriage of Fataer Pamten was approaching, and, gripped by a sudden Idea, Constable halted it, saying to the elder spirit of the parish, whom he had met at the plantation house : "Father, take this two thousand francs and use it for the maintenance of the homeless refugees in Fort de France." I shall see that more funds get to you to-day." A little way further, another carriage approached, one of the public conveyances of the city this time. Bahind the driver loomed the head and shoulders of a white man hard head and broad shoulders the sight of whom struck the music from the brain of Constable, as a knife that is slashed across the strings of a harp. Both vehicles stopped abruptly. "Well, I've got you," the broad individual remarked cheerfully. "Where's the other fellow?" Let it le known that the man whom Constable now faced was the same energetic person who occasioned discord on the Brooklyn pier, just as the Madame swung blithely forth into the harbor. Constable was thinking very rapidly. He felt prepared to commit murder rather than have his plans for the morning thrust aside. "The other fellow?" he repeated gently. "The man hidden In your cabin when you cleared. His name is Nicholas Stembridge, if you don't happen to know," the stranger said, with some impatience. "Where is he?" "Where you saw him last," Constable sajd, with sudden cordiality; "and I want to state that I'm glad to see you that is," he added doubtfully, "if you've come to take him away. If you've looked ma up, you'll have found that I'm usually; ready to pay in money, hide, or liberty, for the mistakes I make." (To be continued.)

LOW-DOWN TRICK ON A THIEF. Reformed Jailbird Explains IIow lie Lost Faith la Mankind. "A snort while before I reformed," said the man who spent much of his early life In Jail, to a New York Sun writer, "I had au experience that shook my faith In human nature. Going uptown one night In the Gth avenue elevated train I extracted from a man's pocket a letter and $50. I hadn't wanted the letter, but It was so tangled up with tLe bills that I couldn't help taking it too. After I once got it out of the man's pocket I couldn't very well put it back, no I kept It. Unfortunately I read it. "It was a pathetic letter. Even a heart of stone couldn't hold out against au appeal of that kind. It had been written by a woman who evidently had some claim on the man. She was iu deep trouble. The letter related In touching simplicity a story of sickness, want and dent.;. The writer implored the man to nid her and her family, and it was clear that the $30 I had relieved him of bad been scraped together Vi send to her. "Well, with that $50 In my pocket and that woman's letter on ray mind I put tbrought the most miserable night of my existence. I hadn't much of a conscience left, but what little bit I had was hard at work. Even when I dropped off to sleep I was tormented with dreams of that poor woman. By morning the strain had told on me. I couldn't stand to keep that money In my possession another hour. "The man's address was on the letter and I wrote to him. Inclosing the $50 and the letter that had brought me to that softened state. I did even more than that. I inclosed $3 of my own. I told the man that I was about as low as they make 'em, but I wasn't low enough to keep money that had been meant for those poor souls. "For obvious reasons I did not give my name and address. I was satislied with dolujj good. I did not want to be thanked. I waited no notoriety. On account of my obscure iositIon it was impossible for the man to communicate with me if he had wished to do so. However, I did hear from him again, Just a week lefore I went out of business for good. It was what I heard then that made me doubt all mankind. "I learned that that letter was a kind of financial preserver. The man always carried it w raped up with whatever cash he happened to have on hand. A sister-in-law of his out in Indiana wrote a fresh copy and mailed it to him every week so it would always look nice and new and prevent suspicion of its being, a fake. You see, that fellow reckoned the chances were 10 to 1 on even the most hardened Jail bird being melted by that ap Ieal and returning the money. Ih guessed right, to. Is It any wonder that I have been cynical since then? To see a nlc respectable man stoop to such trick ry is enough to sour the most trusting disposition. " No 1'ay for Mother. "Mother gets up first," said the new ofiice boy. "She lights t'ae lire and gets my breakfast so I can get here earl'. Then she gets father up, gets his break fast and sends hi in off. Then she gives the others their breakfast and gets 'em ready for school; and then she an the baby have their breakfast." "What is your pay here?" asked the man. "I get $3 a week and father gets $.1 a day." "How much does j our mother get?" "Mother!" tie saM indignantly. "Why, she don't have to work for anybody." "Oh ! I thought you Just told me she worked for the whole family every morning." "Oh! that's for us but there ain't no money 1 that." Saved by the Trolley.

Mnn tin Haw Material. Clerma n science announces that everything needed to make a man weigh 150 iKmnds can be found In the whites and yolks of 1,200 hens' eggs. Reduced to a fluid, the average man would yield ninety-eight cubic meters of illuminating gas and hydrogen, enough to fill a balloon capable of lifting 155 pounds. The normal human body has in it the iron needed to make seven large nails, tho fat for fourteen pounds of candles, the carbon for sixty-five gross of crayon.', and phosphorous enough for 820,000 matches. Out of it can be obtained besides twenty coffee sioons of salt, fifty lumps of sugar and forty-two litres of water.

Revival of Jet. Jet Is having n great revival, and all the old time bracelets, brooches, combs, chains and necklaces are being used again. Women who have not brought such trophies forth from long hiding would better do so before their rogue wanes again. Fnsolvoil Problem. The three great problems on the solution ef which humanity Is bent are the same that perplexed our ancestors the Immortality of the soul, perpetual motion and women's hats. Paris Figaro. For Loose Windows. When the wind blows hard at night the rattling of loose window sashes often causes great annoyance. Woodeti legs Inserted at the side of the sash THE will stop the troublesome noise itniu-?-diately. The convenient little pegs are easily made from wooden clothes pins by simply splitting the pin down the middle. A cord can be tied around the head and the peg hung on a tack inside the window curtain, so that It will always be found ready for use. Hints for Preserving. In selecting fruit the greatest care &hould be taken to see that it Is not overrripe. A cheesecloth bag will be found useful In straining the fmltlhrough the colander. The best Jelly bag Is a long one mad of flannel, which Is made in a ioint at the bottom. Plenty of sugar makes rich and luscious preserves and makes the fruit keep much longer. Jelly glasses without fitted tin or glass tops can be covered by pieces of writing paper. These pieces should be dipped in the unbeaten wldtes of an egg and pasted at once over the glass. Berries that have been picked more than twenty-four hours are too old to make good Jellies and preserves. The first consideration is a preserving kettle of brass polished until lustrous and with no stain of fruit. This should never be squeezed in order. to hasten the dropping or a discoloration of the fruit will result. Porcelain kettles should be discarded us soon us they commence to crack and tin. Iron or pewter should never b.; used. ' This Is the sort of vessel used by the old-fashioned housewife and the Jellies of our grandmothers have never been equaled. To prevent Jars from cracking when the hot preserves are poured In them, set on cloths dipped in cold water and imrtly wrung out. Needlework Noten. A thin silk, or one that frays easily, can be cut out better if laid between sheets of thin paper and the pattern cut through paper and material together. To strengthen shirt buttonholes, stitch them round with cotton after they are finished. They will then last much longer and not tear away from the material. T make scallops on embroidery wear well first stitch the edge of the scallops and also above same In the machine, using a coarse thread and long stitch, then embroider. Before washing: cut out the scallops, aud after washing cut off all loose threads. If these directions are followed the edge will not fray. In sewing buttons on the every -day clothes of children it will save the mothers trouble to stay each button in the first place with a small piece of the material or with a stout piece of muslin if the garment is not an outer one. Cut little squares Just about the size of the button, put it on the inside of the spot where the button is to go; take the stitches through It and then hem down the edges all around so they will not fray. It Is always better to make a stem In sewing on a button, as if it Is sewed tightly it will more easily tear our the material. Take loose stitches and then wind them on the right side with the thread four or five times.

In dresses stripes are used in auy way that one's taste may dictate. All styles of coat suits are being fashioned of linen, crash and the popular pongee. Silk muslin gowns with cloth hems continue the rage for heavy finishes for the bottoms of skirts. It appears this summer as If every other woman had entered into the game of "Button, button, who has the button?" Collars, ties and belts are of the utmost Importance with the shirt waist suit, wh6se simplicity demands the greatest nicety In all of its accessories. The ribbon chain, with slides of either rbinestones or diamonds, is now the climax of stylish accessories. The ribbon is a half-Inch black moire and from It may depend vanity box, watch or other ornament. Though the extreme "sheath" dress will not admit of any petticoat, pettlcoats are now in the market for the more moderate style. It is made on the circular style so that there will be no fullness at the hips or the knees.

Never begin a Journey until a good breakfast has been eaten. Don't fidget. One hour of fidgety, movements will si-t your nerves flying. Half a teaspoonful of table salt dissolved in a half-glassful of cold water will give instant relief In case of heartburn. Malic acid is peculiarly helpful to the body aud apples iKars, plums, peaches, cherries all contain It. Tomatoes also contain it. Potatoes (the old staud-by) contain nil the inorganic elements of the body except fluorine. They contain a quantity of itotassiuni salts goo 1 for nerve and musc-Ie. Salt water is good for the scalp, the eyes, the face, the nostrils, the whole body. Use salt properly and plentifully and paradoxical as It may seem you will remain' ever fresh. Take a dozen ileep, slow breaths a dozen i lines a day through the nose and exhale through the mouth, and to do this properly you will have no undue tightness of the dress .anywhere. Moist hands may be made more comfortable by washing and brushing them In tepid water In which a few grains of alum or a few drops of aromatic sulphuric acid have been dissolved. Dry them with a rough towel and dust the palms with talcum powder.

Mako Otrn Lamp Wicks. old woolen shirt, cut the width of your old woolen short, ait the width of your lamp wick, hem both sides. It will work as well as the ones you buy, and will save buying wicks for your lamps. Kerp a Pair of Pliers. The most convenient thing about a house is a pair of pliers. For cutting wire, tightening loose nuts, pulling nails, or lifting hot pans without handles they can't be beat. ABl A baby In a family, especially the first baby, is a source of unending entertainment. Nothing is more delightful than to watch the gradually Increasing signs of intelligence as the special senses develop one after the other, and to see the mind unfold as the body enlarges and grows apace. The first of the senses to be developed is that of touch. This Is present at birth, although it is not very acute. But it rapidly increases, and very sooo the crying and fretting of the baby, if a pin scratches or the clothing presses unduly in any part, afford ample proof that this sense is well developed. Taste and smell are present early, but do not become at all acute or discriminating until after Infancy is past. Infants are not bom with their eyes shut, but they might, as well be, for they are bilnd as kittens. They appear to distinguish between daylight and darkness, and a child a few weeks old is evldeutly Interested, when a bright object is moved before his eyes, but it Is two or three mouths before the child evidently recognizes a face even its "mother's. This is through no fault of the eyes, but Is due to the fact that the brain U not sufficiently developed to record aud Interpret what he eyes see. The new-born child is deaf as well as blind, but usually notices loud noises by the udddle or end of the second week. The direction from which a sound comes seems to be recognized about the end of the third month.. It is some time after that anywhere from two weeks to two months later before the baby can distinguish dif ferent sounds or recognize its mother's voice. Rabies like noises, if they ara not too loud or too sudden, and they are particularly pleased with rattling or Jingling sounds, especially if they are more or less rhythmic. By the end of the first half-year an infant will show pleasure on hearing music, especially singing, although humming on a few notes will usually give it as much pleasure as actual sing ing. A child's movements at first are without significance or reason, and its kicking, clinching of fists and making faces seem to be merely lnstiuctlve ex ercl.se of Its new muscles, Just as its crying serves to expand its lungs. Other motions are reflex or instinctive, and purposeful muscular movements are of course not made; until the brain is suf Ilcienrly developed to order them. Youth's Companion. TLe Thins that Matters Most. Atter all, the thing that matters most both for happiness and for duty, la that-we should habitually live with wise thoughts and right feelings. John Morley. Never were children's dresses nior captivating in quaiutness or originality than they are to-day. From the sim plest little bishop dress to the mlu Sature editions of Japanese armholes, trim princess panels aud absurd but thoroughly delightful coats and frocks that boast the one-piece body and sleeve, they have au air of distinction and grace quite dissociated from elaborate trimming and handsome materials.

MILITIAMAN

KLEIN IS SURRENDERED. national Guard Officers Procure Bond for Slayer of Boy In Kankakee. Private Joseph B. Kleiu of the First Regiment of the Illinois National Guard was surrendered to the authorities at Kankakee by Captain Henry Barrett Clinmberlin, personal representative of General E. C. Young. Private Klein, who killed Earle Nel son with a bayonet in Kankakee, while the First Regiment was passing through lhe(jcity en route to Springfield, was released in bonds of $10,000 furnished by the Illinois Surety Company and went to Chicago with Captain Cuamberlln, Major James Miles, Captain Tercy B. Coffin and Signal Sergeant C. II. Leichliter. He was taken to the First Itegintent armory and later permitted to proceed to his home. General Young, in command of the troops at Springfield, returned to Chi cago and discussed the Klein case. He declared that the evidence before the military tribunal showed conclusively that Private Klein, in forcing young Nelson from the regimental train at Kankakee, acted solely from a motive of military duty. "When the State's Attorney of Kankakee demanded that I deliver Trivate Klein," said General Young. "I refused to do so. I exercised my discretionary power, advised by the Attorney Gen eral, on the ground that to deliver Klein at that time to the, civil authorities would be destructive of the morale of the troops. I might as well have sent them back to Chicago had I complied, because they would have felt that they had no right to use the weaions given them. Twenty more indictments returned by the special grand jury In Spring field inquiring Into the recent race riots brings the total of the three daysinquisition to thirty-one. One Is against George Richardson, whose al leged assault upon Mrs. Mabelle Hal lam precipitated the uprising. The re maining thirty are against alleged participants In the work of the mol). J. W. Bechtel, William W. Sage and "Fergy" O'Toole are under arrest, charged with complicity In the rioting and are awaiting grand jury investiga tion. The authorities will endeavor to fasten the crime of murder uion Bechtel, alleging that he participated active ly in the lynching of Scott Burton. Sage Is alleged to have fired five shots into the body of Burton as it swrmg frci the tree to which It had been strung. OToole's offense Is alleged to have leen the throwing of bricks. Will iam Sutton has been singled out as the man who made the attack upon Mayor Recce when the Mayor attempted to ad dress the mob during the attack upon Leper's restaurant. It is understood that residents ot Riverton, Sherman and other vil'ages and the towns in the vicinity of Spring field will be caught In the net. It Is said that several of them were In the front ranks of the rioters. The local authorities have the situa tion so well In hand that the First Cavalry Regiment was sent home, leaving only the "Seventh I.ifantry on the ground. The coroner's jury In the case ol Louis Johnson, who was killed In the riot at Lopcr's restaurant, decided that the lioy was shot, but the jury is un able to fix the responsibility.
