HANGED AN INNOCENT MAN.
Circumstanciol Evidenc. Convicted
Him. "-
The lawyers were talking iibout cir
camstftrjciHl eviJeuce nutl several re
ruiuUiilile oases, iu whieli. inuooeut per
sons who bad been ooudemueJ were
meutioned, says the Brooklya Citizea.
"Perhaps the most singular oase ot4be
kind," said a lawyer, "is one which is j-e-oorded
iu the books and is pretty .old.
It gave rise, as I understand, to ' the
change in 'he law requiring the bodjr of
a murdered person to be found before
anyone oan be punished for the eritne.
"Two merchant sailors went to an inn
iu an English seaport. To make tbe
story clearer, I'll call them Jiick and
Tom. Jack pulled out a well-li lied wal
let to satisfy tho landlord that he and
his friend could pay their way. They
invited tho landlord to drink with thorn,
and Tom produced B big jaek-kulfe cu
riously handled, to cut his tobacco -The
inn was close on the harbor. Tho froniJ
dour opened upon the qnayj snjl "at- Mie
side was a covered way which led to the
sleeping rooms in the rear. Near by on
the quay were stone steps going down to
the water for the accommodation of
boats.
"After the two men had had a good
time they retired to oue ot the rooms in
the rear, where thoy were to ocoupy a
room together. They were both just so
her enough to know what they were
about. The next morning spots of blood
were observed upon the floor of the oov
ered way, from the door of the bed-ron .
occupied by the sailors to the quay. The
landlord wont to rouse up his guests,
but found only oue of them there. It
was Tom, and he was fast asleep anil
requit ed a good deal of arousing. When
asked where his companion was he ap
peared ooufused and alarrned, and said
he didn't know.
"On tbe bed-clothes and floor there
were largo spots of blood. The water iu
the basin was bloody, aud the towel
showed thnt bloody hands had been
wiped upon it. The jack knife seen the
previous evening in the possession of
Tom was likewise stained with blood.
Under Tom's bolster at the side next the
wall a wallet was fouud filled with mon
ey, and was identified as that exhibited
by Jaok the night before. Everything
so far pointed to a murder, and to Tom
as the perpretrator ot it. The authori
ties were notified uud Tom was arrested.
He told a very remarkable story.
"He said that when he and Jack were
about to get into bed Jaok suggested
the idea of robbers, remarking that it
wouldn't take a very clever fellow to
get in at the window, and, as they were
likely to sleep soundly after their ca
rouse, it would be easy for a thief, if be
got iuto the room, to rob them. Tom
had already got into bed, and was lying
next the wall, so he suggested that all
their money be put uuder his pillow. It
would be a comparatively easy task, be
said for the thief to draw tbe wallet
I'rtitn Jaok's(iillnw, bnl it would lib much
lore likely to arouse one or the otho of
them if a thief attompted to reach over
and take the m mey if it were under
Tom's pillow. This suggestion wits
adopted aud the wallet belonging to
Jack was placed under Tom's pillow.
Soon after they got into bed Jaok com
plained that bis nose had begau to bleed,
and arose. He poured some water into
the bowl and tried to stop the bleeding.
Theu Tom arose and assisted. Finally
Tom said that he had heard that cold
metal placed at the back of the neck
would stop bleeding at once, and there
upon he got his big jack-knife, opened it
and placed it against Jaok's neok. It was
dark, nnd they were both a little mud
dled with drink, so that their movements
were not particularly careful, aud thus
the blood got upou the floor, the table
aud the knife. Finding that tbe bleed
ing would not stop Jack grew somewhat
alarmed, atid this probably sobered him,
for he said he would put on his clothes
aud walk down to the quay, as tho exer
cise and fresh air might stop tbe flow of
blood. Tom said that he lay down, and
the last ho remembered was Jaok leaving
the room to carry out his purpose.
'This story was considered a very
clever concoction, as it fairly acoonuted
for everything but the absolute disap
pearance o Jack. Tom's theory was
that he had fallen into the water and
was drowned, and his body hadbeeu car
ried out by the tide. The theory of the
authorities was that Tom had murdered
Jack for bis money and oarried his body
to tbe water and thrown it in. The fact
that Tom had not attempted to escape or
in any way to cover up the crime did not
give tbe olliciids much ooncern. He
might, they said, have felt confident that
his story would be believed, or he might,
after the deed, have been overoome with
the liquor ho had taken nnd laid down,
or he might have imagiaed that he
would have opportunity enough to get
clear before any alarm was raised iu the
morning. Toni.taByhow, was held for
the murder of Jack, aud in due time was
indicted by the grand jury. On trial ev
erything was made to tell strongly
against the prisoner, nnd ho was con
victed and hanged.
"Now comes the the sequel to tho sto
ry. About two years or more after sen
tence after sentence had been executed
upon the ruifortunate Tom, Jack ap
peared upon tbe scene onco-more, alive
and well. Then for tbe first time he
heard of his own murder and tbe hang
ingot his shipmate for the crime. He
was greatly shocked, and gave an ac
count of bis disappearance which in ev
ery particular subst'mtiated the truth of
the statements made by Tom.
"In addition he seid that, interleaving
the bed-room bis noo continued to
bleed, aud he walked down the covered
way toward the quay with his head well
forward so that the blxd might not
stain bis olothes. On reaching the quay
he turned to the left and, just nn he
came opposite the stone stefs already i
scribed, a press (jang sprang npon him,
gagged him, carried him to a boat and
rowed bim, alou with others similarly
captured, on board a marj.of war lying
at anchor in the road3. It was war times
and sailors were badly wanted, aud .be
press gang was resorted to for supplying
the Uffy, merchant seamou being al
ways, of oourse, preferred. Jack had no
ehnnce of oommnuieating with anyone
ou shore, for the very next day tbe man-of-war
sailed for n foreign station, where
it remaiued cruising nearly all the time
nutil its return to England."
INSANE FROM EXCESSIVE DRINKING.
A man named Buokhart, said to have
beeu formerly a shoemaker at Weston,
who has beeu on a protraoted spree ever
iinoe tho election, was brought down
frora-Adams Wednesday aud lodged in
jail, having shown symtoms o! insanity.
He was examined to-day by Dr. Vinceut,
and found to be insane, as stated, but
whether it is merely a temporary de
rangement of the mental faoulties caus
ed from drink, or out-and-out maduess,
cannot bo told. Ha will be kopt in jail
for soiu.i ;u:'c time to see if his reason
can be restored. Ho says he has a ring
ing in his ear?), that the bells are rung
fejit devil, aud the deil is after him,
wfi.!fii 'ery likely the truth. Yester
JaViJjwaM impressed with tho usual
iuoa that s urte one wanted to kill him,
but to-day lie is all right on that score,
anil ootnpliiiiH that his mind aud mem

Fun in the Camp.
Home little time since oue of our absent-minded
friends had an embarrassing
little adventure that is sadly disturbing
his peace of mind for tbe time being. It
is as follows: Having an errand out of
towii which would necessitate an absence
over night, he made his preparations for
the trip and duly informed his wifo of
bis intentions. She, not wishing to re
main alone in the house, invited a female
friei.fi to spend the night with her, and
being troubled by some of the children,
slept with them, giving her own downy
oo itch fo the visitor.
It so happened that our friend X-
fouud some oue to transact his business
for him and he returned iu the night, and
as was his habit, quietly retired to his !
usual resting plaoe. Hero the couple re
mained In ignorauoe of their awkward
predicament until discovered by the hor
rified wile in the morning. It is need
less to say that there was somo tall rus
tling for the next few minutes.
Lots in a Name, Why Not?
Cul J. W. Bedington disousses the or
igiu of the name "Puyallup" ns follows:
"Ti.e name Puyallup is Indian, of oourse.
It is a oloso oousin to pot-suh-a-le-ty-ee,
which moans a gift from God. When
Benjamin Fraukliu ran a print-shop here
and was about to rush to press with an
extra edition of his Puyallup Porous
Plaster nunouuoing that America hnd
disoovered Christopher Columbus, he
stumbled over a pile of greenbax lying
on tbo floor and wrecked his form. When
tbe whole mesB hnd beett-ctemrBrl tip and
fired hack into tbo oase Ben wiped his
haiiisilii)ii4iH face in. preference to tho
adult towel, aud yelled ' Pio-nll-upl" And
somo people pretend to say that that
named tbo plaoe. But it didn't. Tho
real definition is "Klosbe tipso, ooo-lee
pilton cuitau muck-a-muck memnloose,"
meaning the valley where a oayusa was
fool enough to eat himself to death just
beaause he hud come from a hungry
oountry nnd fouud everything growing
luxuriantly iu Puyallup valley."
Liver-Colored Liver.
Mr. Wallnla Whitney, a rustling
rancher who lives up tbo river, has an
appetite Unit delights iu liver. He re
gards it as a delicacy more golden than
oiiiolten. But he is a man of pure mind
and pure thought nnd he must have his
liver pure. The glorious Puyallup cli
mate keeps his own pure, but what lie
eats must also be pure. Ho when he
kills a deer or a bee! critter he does not
enjoy his favorite feast tbo same even
ing. Rather does he postpone it until
next morning. He has read that nil liv
ers are not pure, so that which he is
about to cat he soaks all night iu n bot
tle ot Moore's revealed remedy, sur
roauded by a row of sugar-coated pur
gative pills. In the cool uf the morning
that liver is tit for even a lady's lap dog
to eat. Puyallup Commerce.
He Got it in the Leg.
Last Saturday evening Mr. McQueen,
who lives near this city, was awakened
fYom bis peaceful slumbers by u noise
in the smoke-house. Thinking a burg
lar might be helping himself, he armed
up with a douule barrel shotgun and
stole forth iu the still ot tho night to
make the capture. True to his .expecta
tions Mr. Burglar was thore but on be
ing told to surrender made a bold break
for liberty ns fast ns his legs could curry

ing tbe command, a charge of fine shot
was sent after him hioh brou, ht him
to the ground yelling: "Dou't BhootI
Don't shoot!" He was brought to this

SHOVER OFJFHE QUEER.
How Ho was Caught by a Detective-
A Tale ol' the "Shin-plaster"' Day...
In the spring of 1805 evenf demomina
natiou ot "-"hill-plaster" currency had
been oomik-rfeited and oiroulated, and
every issue of greenbacks, from tho dol
lar bill to the t wenty, had been repro
duced by the "queer" meu, says a writer
in tho Detroit Fred Press. Counterfeit
ing flourished as never before or since.
Anything that looked like money would
go especially in the ootiutry towns.
The gang which was working the 81
aud S2 plates was located nt Sandusky,
but we did not get this poiuter until they
had floated out a good many thousand
dollars. The oase was assigned to me,
and I proceeded to Bandusky iu the
guise of an army contractor. I had no
details whatever, but by keeping my
eyes open nnd picking np a note here
aud there, I satisfied myself that the in
formation w as correct. Then I selected
the most popular drug store in the plaoe,
told the proprietor my business and ar
ranged to make a capture. Men "shov
ing the queer" will call at a drug store
quicker thau any other place of business,
because they oan purchase from suoh a
variety and carry tbe purcbaso away in
tho pocket. This druggist had been bit
ten several times aud was anxious to
help nub some oue. I felt that it was
only a question of time when somo of
the spurious would be offered again, and
I was rifdit. On the fifth day after I
had taken up my station iu the stdre, a
i I'soieotable-looriimr middle aged man
rushed in, holding his hand to his oheek
aud exclaimed:
"For Heaven's sake give mo something
for the toothache! I. am almost orazy!"
The clerk hurried to put up some
thing, the stranger danced around and
groaned and moaued, and when he re
ceived tho bottle he handed out n ttu
dollar bill uud said:
"Quick I've got to catch the train!"
Tbe cleik glanced at tbe bill nnd be
gan to make change, but stopped to take
a second look at it. I started forward
but before I had taken five steps the
man was oil like a flash. I pursued, but
he dodged mo in tho crowd. I went
back and looked at tbe bill, and lo! it
was a counterfeit, but oue so nearly like
the geuuide as to deceive almost auyone
exoept a oasbier. For the next three
days I did some tall hustling, nnd the
result wns to drive tho gang out of San
dusky without haviug the luok to arrest
anybody. There were our of them, uud
they had a job ollioe which turned out
work for tho public. The fellows had
put out $o0,000 at least in the west, hav
ing several plutos of different denomina
tions, uud the worst of it was they got
oil with tho plates.
Almost purely by accident I learned
that oue of the gang had a brother living
uear Rocky river, a few miles out of
Cleveland, and it was possible he might
go iuto hiding there for a time. As this
was the onlv trail I had I determined to
Hook the "ground ofer. Going up to
Cleveland I got a horse and buggy for
a oountry drive and started for Kooky
river. I was only well clear of tbo oity
when I saw a heavy thunder storm com
ing np and had to look for shelter. I
had to drive a aouplo of miles to find it.
It was au old barn on tbo luwor end o' n
farm. It was iu a tumble-down condi
tion, but there was a shed under which
I oould put the horse. I was ouly two
minutes uhoad of a storm which raged
for an hour and a half. I found a cor
ner of tho bain which did not leak, and
for tbe first, half hour I scaroely glauced
around me. When I did come to size up
the interior, about tho Uivt thing I saw
was a paper paoltage resting on a beam
ruuniug aoroiis tbe bain. It could not
have been seen from any other position
iu the barn, and I must say it was the
queer sound given out by tho drops of
water us they fell ou the p'lper that
caused me to look up.
I had tbe p ickage down after a dirty
climb, anil as I opened it out fell the
plates used by the counterfeiters at San
dusky- every one of them. There were
plates for a SI, 82, 5 and $10 bill, and
for ten, twenty five and fifty oeut shin
plasters, and tbe ink from tbe lust iu
pri osioua had not been entirely cleaned
off. Whilo I was swelling with the im
portance ot my discovery tho storm pass
ed over, and while engagvd iu doing up
the package a buggy stopped at the gap
in tho highway fence and ono of tho two
men in it jumped down and came run
ning iuto tho barn. He did not see uin
at first, but started to climb up after tbe
package ou tho beam. I knew then that
ho was one of the gang, and I grabbed
him. Ho w as a stout fellow, and we had
a savage tiiHslo for it, but I finally got
tbe irons ou bis wrists and made him my
prisoner. As soon as I seized him he
shouted to warn his companion, nnd be
fore our struggle ended the man was a
mile away. The one I caught was Sam
Dixon, a "queer man" of nolo and known
to us better ujiilor the alias of "Sly Sam."
He was the chap who counterfeited the
lirailliau c:ineiiey and got rid of $50,
0(X1 worth before tiny row was raised.
He kept a close mouth and would not
peach on any of the gang. Even whim
be got his sentence, e. hieh was for twelve
years, he calmly remarked:
"Well, business will go ou at the old
stand jusi the same."
Ho liid nt Advertise.
A nervous looking man went Into
a store the other tlay and sat down for
half an hour or so, when n clerk asked
him if hi! l ould do anything for him.
He said no; he did'nt want anything.
He went away and he sat there a half an
hour lunger, w hen the proprietor went to
bim and askd him if he wanted to In
shown anything. "No," said the nerv
ous man. "I jnn want to sit around.
My physician litis reeonniietided perftc
qtiiet for me, and say uSoveall things
I should avoid being in crowds. Noth
ing this!, you did not advertise iu the

Idaho World : The "Chinese Masons"
met at this place last week, and march
ed a number of celestials through the
solemn mysteries of that ancient order at

their order is, "alio same Melican man's
Masons," but a little higher grade, more
ancient, grand and mystical, and richer
in the lore and magnificent teachings of
antiquity. Judging from tho ceaseless
jabbering kept up fur twenty-four hours,
they must be accorded the palm for the
most copious flow of language of an in
itiatory nature. Tho impression made
on the weary candidates cannot fail to
be deep and lasting, A march for twen

to be forgotten. The meeting was a big
