Everybody swung his hat and yslled

“ In the second place, I ’d like to know

“But everybody can’t be.” protested
Bill. “ I don't w ant nobody to charge

didn't seem a bit pleased w ith the
suggestion that superstition might
sometimes be responsible fo r the ac

“Coal miners," ha w ent on to say.
“are not superstitious. H e ar noises 1
O f course they do, but do people sup
pose those noises are Imaginary? i t
beats all how little Is known generally
about coal mining.
"Folks get It Into th eir heads." the
Inspector continued, “that a man who

mine because he sees the rats desert

ss a matter o f fact, he simply displays
sound Judgment Very soon a fte r the
rats quit sounds w ill be hearth and

Late In the fifties George W . K ing
was the proprietor of a hotel la Ox
ford, 3d miles from Lafayette. lad . la
185U a stranger arrived at the hotel and
gave hla name as D r. Rowe. H e tokl
K ing that be bad no money and asked
to be trusted for his board till he could
get practice In the place, promising to
pay him aa promptly us possible. King
consented to the arrangement, and
Rowe soon liecame a favorite with thw
people on account of bis couipunk»n-
ablr disposition nud superior Intelli
gence. The doctor, however, fell deep
er and deeper In d eb t H e had beuu at
the hotel for nearly a year when King
reminded him one morning that be
had not paid anything ou bis board
MU for three mouths. The eonveraa-
tlon. tt afterw ard uppearetl. was over
heard by some one In the hotel, though
nothing was thought of It at the tltua.
A week a fte r the conversation ltowe
was called out late at night to see a
tsttlent and failed to return.
Days
istnsvd without any word from him, and
bis disappearance soon was connected
w ith the conversation that had passed
between him and the landlord abottt
the uupald board. One night three
months later a party of disguised men
entered the hotel and, overpowering
King, took him to a woodland adjoin
ing the town.
H e recognized the voices of several
of hla captors and especially of the
leader, who told him that he was sue-
peeled of murdering ltow e and de
manded that he confess. King stoutly
mslutalaed his luuoceuce. and the
leader of the molt ordered bis com
panions “to string hliu up.” A ropw
was placed srouud his u iw k. a doaets
men pulled dowu s stout limb, over
Which the other end of the rope WM-
thrown. and when the lluib was re
leased It carried Klug off his feet andt
le ft him hanging Ity the neck.
He
was nearly unconscious wheu let down
and agulu ordered to confess.
A fter much delay he was tvetored
sutUcleutiy to understand what was
said to him, and be again refused, de
claring hla Innocence and aaylng be
did not know w hat had become o<
Rowe. A second tim e be was strung
up and a second time let down, bot
life was nearly extinct, nnd be was
much longer la being restored than be
fore.
The luckless landlord knew he could
not pass through another such ordeal,
and live, so be consented to cunfv««.
H e purposely lengthened the eonftw
slon In order to g n lti time, ami ssld-
that he and two ingu, unni«*d Huger»
and Haggard, had poisoned some whis
ky and Induced Howe to drink It, aud
afte r hla death they had buried h im
In a hollow some distance nwny. Ih
was nearly daylight wheu the confes
sion was made, and the lyuehers de
termined to take King to Jail In Lafa
yette and then arrest Rogers and H a g
gard.
Before tbs JaU was reached day had
dawned, and King recognised hie rap
tors as members ot tho Horae T h ie f
Detective company o f Banton. W arren
and Tippecanoe counties, nearly all o f
whom were known to him. Confident
o f hla guilt, tlse men made no attem pt
to conceal their Indentlty. Ro great
was the excitement and so Intense the
feeling ngnlnst K ing that he waived
examination and went to Jail, hoping-
that something would turn up to es
tablish his luuoceuce.
Prom the >11 at lA fs y rtte K lu g ad
dressed letters to editors of papers In*
(.'Inctnnalt. Chicago. BL Louis, Ixmls-
vllle and other cities, setting out the
circumstances of hla confinement and
asking them to keep hla letter In tho-
papers lu bn|we that ,t might fa ll un
der Howe's notice. The appeal was a
pathetic one nnd was copied Into many
papers throughout tbs north wesL
Tw o weeks after Ito first a p pi-a rance
D r. Rowe rode Into Oxford and. at
tended by a number of cltlxeus, pro
ceeded to Istfayette. where his appear
ance caused the Immediate release o f
the accused htadlonl. Io ex pis nation
of M » disappearance Rowe sold be bad
left hla home In the cast on account o f
domestic troubles: that he had learned
that Ills w ife was on her way to Ox
ford and he had determlowl to le a v e
tbs place eeeretly In order to prevent
her from learning where he had gone.
H e liad gone to s little town In south
ern Illinois, and It was there that Mr-
learned that the mao who had be
friended him wes suspected of his mur
