It is also stated that Davis tried "vainly to escape the That heavy cords that bound him. word vainly relieves the story very much. But for its presence some people might think Davis was yet alive. That assertion is also correct, with the single exception that Davis did not attempt to escape at all. The statement that Davis mocked at the final devotion of his sons is another correct one, except that he didnt, and that the only time he showed any signs of humanity was when he talked with his brother and his sons, Archie and Belden, out of hearing of officers and spectators. The thrilling assertion that Patsy Coughlin toppled backwards over the chair and five bullets were afterward found in his body, is also very accurate, and is truth, save for the fact that the chair was fastened to a heavy piece of timber, planted in the ground and could not topple over, and that every bullet that went through Patsy also went through the timber and out through Sage Hollow, where the execution took place. The other executions are as faithfully described as these two, which makes the story reliable as a work of reference, because by reading it one can see at a glance that all the executed are still dead.

The New York World says that Neely is now living in quiet elegance in BY INSTALLING A New York City. The story is best told in the papers own words: to Neely was charged with the emto oQfythiQ bezzlement of $100,000 of postal funds. He was convicted and sentenced to ten years imprisonment and to pay a fine of $56,701. Under the bill signed by President Palma on June 11, 1902, granting amnesty to all Americans convicted of crimes in Cuba during the term of American occupation, Neely was released. Neely landed in New York from Havana in September, 1902, and then, with the exception of an occasional appearance at Washington, dropped completely out of sight, except to his most intimate friends. Some of these friends carried reports to Indiana that W ST. LOUIS EAST AND THE VIA THROUGH SCENIC COEGDD&ADDO KANSAS MISSOURI PULLMAN SLEEPING CARS, OBSERVATION DINING CARS.

LOUIE , I cant; inquired the man who needed water, why cant I? In the first place, said the attendant, this is not a bathing resort. People who come here do so for the purpose of having a good time. Mr. Bamberger had this place fixed up for the entertainment of clean people; not the washing of dirty ones one as dirty as you are in particular and among other things he has stocked the lake with bass. Were you to go in the water and get rid of half the stuff that seems to be clinging to you it would kill every fish in the lagoon. Therefore I cannot permit it. But, said the ' would-b- e bather, dont you recognize the press? Oh, yes; we recognize the press, but the press, as a rule, bathes itself before coming out here and mingling with other folks. You are the only exception, thus far. Are you a news' paper man, and if so where are you from? My name, sir, replied the man who wanted a hath, Is Howard, and Im the sun doctor of Salina, sir. Oh, yes, replied the attendant. I sincerely beg your pardon. Ive heard of you. Mr. Howard, you are surely mistaken as to the kind of a bath you want Step right this way with me. You will note the place you are looking for just north of the point where the little locomotive runs through the shed. If you want the bath out of the keg, its five cents per; if you had rather it came by the bottle I am sure the gentleman with the white apron will let you have It for two bits the bottle. If you tell him where you came from and what your name is. Wholesale rates prevail here as well as In the city. Thanking the attendant in a voice choked with rich sobs, the would-b- e bather resumed his ancient apparel and hurried away. Later in the day he was observed endeavoring to locate the spots on the sun through the bottom of that drinking vessel known In- Buffalo as a shupper, in Omaha as a bootleg, and in Salina ;as a schooner, and still later was looking for the moots of Mars in a sim- ilar manner.
