Mundell was the man to Ore tho first shot and aa for Hodge, those who know htm say that ho does not miss ofton, especially whon shooting over the short range that Intervened In the killing ot these two men. The arrest is partlcularlr Interesting for two reasons. It is the last ot asorlesot arrests made for crlmos commlttod when No Man's Land was not within the defined limits of anr United States Court and it is an nrreBt for participating In the first execution done undor the ouriouB first government that tbe pooplo of No Man's Land set up when thor found that tbe United States would do nothing for thom. Bennett and Thompson woro bad citizens beyond question. Bennett had boen one of the first settlers to roach the new country, and with his partners, two brothers by tho name of Trnor, opened tbe first dnnco house in Beaver Cltr. Thompson Was a friend of theirs, ana when In the winter of 188G the danco houeo business was abandoned becausothotrelehtors no longer drovo over that trail, Thompson and one of the girls from tbe houso wont to keeping houso on a baok street Thoreatter Thompson Vtas accused ot various petty crimes, and wan certainly guilty of claim jumping. Bennett and ho worked togothar In this matter. Now It happened that at this tlmo a man named Scrannngo was engaged In tho business of claim grabbing. Ho was ploughing around valuablo land and then selling the claims to tenderfeet Ho claimed an unusually valuable quarter section just outsldo ot the town limits and lntonded to transfer it to a brother-in-law named W. J. Kline. But bofore Kline arrived Thompson went on tbo claim, built a dug-out, for whloh Bennott furnished tho lumber, and thore he squatted. Thore was no question that be had then a better right In law to the claim than Bcrnnuago, for Scrannage alreadr lived on n claim else whore, while Kline bad not arrived. On the other hand, it was not denied that Thompson, With Bennett's aid, took up this claim for the sole purpose of compelling Ellno and Bcran nago to bur them off. The peoplo of Beaver probablr did not know at that tlmo that Bcrannagewas swindling tenderfeet Tber supposed he and Klino wore reputable citizens, wbo wanted to grow up with the country. They knew thut Thompson and Bennott were disreputable citizens, and so when Sarannage appealed to the Respective Claim Board, a committee of reputable citizens appointed at a publlo mooting to arbitrate be tween contesting claimants, tho l'oard romptly decided in favor of Scrannngo and line, 'ihompsonand Bonnott jeered at the deci sion and held on to the claim. Thero wore A number of meetings of oltUons held to con sider tho case, and the upshot of tho mntter wusthatoa tho morning of March 2. 1897, a oOTimlttee consisting ot Scrannago, Kllno, a man named T. N. Mcintosh. Hilly Olive. J. C. Hodge, and A. Mundell started up tho street "to remove Thompson from the claim." ' It happened that Mundell, In going for bis Winchester, was about 1(H) yards behind tho rest of the gnng. As he won passing in tront of tbo houso tben occupiod by lJr. O. U. Chnse. bo turned to look toward tbe house occupied by Thompson's girl. 150 steps uwuy behind Chase's lot. and saw Thompson walking from tbo stable toward tho house. An erowltnet-s says that Mundell at once slipped behind a handy sod wull. took deliberate aim, and tired. Thu ball broko Thompson's right kneo. Mundell says be shot from thn road. Thompson fell, but managed to crawl Into the bouse. His mistress rim for Dr. Chase, vho went there and found amputation nooes sarr. and so made the mun an comfortable as possible until bo could got another surgeon to assist Meantime the gnng, hearing Mundell's shot, came running baok. They saw that Thonm son was badly hurt, and the smell of blood whetted their thirst tor It Thor knew that Thompson could not get awar. und so, paring no nttentlon to htm, thor hurried down to tbe store that Bonnott and tho Tracrs wero then running. Bennett was not expecting trouble, and ther got tbe drop on him ; but be acted as coolly as though bo tmd boon ankod to drink. He walked up to Thompson's houso smoking his pipe luztlr. walked Into the door, looked at his friend, partly turned toward tho door as Thompson began to beg for mercy, nnd felt shot to death by the commltteo, who also shot Thompson. There was an lnquet held by the committee, end a verdict was found to tho effect that "tbey came to their death from gnnshol wounds received ar tho handa ot manr law-ubldlug citizens, thereby lnuictlng its near as possible tho extreme penalty of law as it should be in such cases." It Is now likely that every one that o er par ticipated In a No Man's Land murder will have to stand trial, for the deputr marshals are on tbe trail ot everr one of them. Tbe faot that peoplo then supposed tbey were beyond tbo Jinlo of law mado ihem cnroless about conconl ng ovidencn of the crimes ; in fact, some boast ed of their doings, Evon William Henderson was arretted for having killed Billy Ollro. Billy wns tbe mur derous Nebraska cowboy who came to Beavar to escnne punishment for a murder dono In Nobrnsku, He quarrelled with William lieu derson, and finally hold him up nnd made him mnrch down tbo street with his arms in tho air. At last, tiring of this, be began trying to shoot his victim, but (and it Is told aB u marvel to this day) threo cartrldgos In succession fallod to explode In his roponter. Beforo a fourth could be pumped In Henderson had roundod a sod linuao and was running like a coyote for tbo hills. In tho nftornoon be camo back, found that Billy was still on the trail, got a rifle, and shot the fellow from behind a sod houso across tbe street When taken to Paris for trial recently, llendorvon wns not Indicted. Tben there was the killing of Amos Busoh. tho saloou keoi'or of Liberal, Knn.. who founded Beer Cltr. the only town ever known that con sisted cxclushcly of saloons and houses ot 111 inrae. It wns Just over tho KanBas line In No lun's Land, aud was built booiiuso tho Probl bltlonlsts would not lot tiio thirsty souls Irri gate in Liberal, nnd was abandoned because water could not bo sold thereat loss thun fif teen cents a buckottul. Busch got suddenly rich, was accused of rob bery, and Bhot to death. Ono Urennan assisted In hlsexocutlon, but bad to ho lot go for lack of evidence. It Is said that Brennan and others murdered Busch for money, and tben Hod nbotit tbe dead to take tho edge off their own crime. Anothorlntarostlngarrest was that of Messrs. Taylor and Phillips of the region known as Benton county, charged with making moon shine wlnsLoy. In short, as fast as the marshals get hold ot No Man's Laud'x alleged criminals, tbey take them to PatiH. Tbete aro two rnasons forthls proeeduro, Ono is that a man accused of a crime ought to bo tried. Tbe other, and hero Is tho main spring, la that the marshals get fecH and mlloage as well on ovory arrest made. That some of tho blood shod in No Man's Land is crilngto bea on for vengeance there Is no doubt, Tho No Man's Lund murdors havo commonly been cowardly and brutal, evon whero thore were some slight mitigating clrottrobtfluces. In comparison with thom tbo storlos of tho Bald Knobber murders In the Ozark Mountains In Missouri, whom tho shooters, Instead of seeking cover, actually jumped out clear of all. are refreshing. But there Is mighty little hope that justice will evor be done. It Is true that a good many cases are now awaiting trial, and that the law that gave tho Purls (Tex.) court jurisdiction oer No Man's Land gave tbo court power to try of fouoes committed bofore tbe law was passed, but ox poHt facto laws, as this one seems to be, aro ot no uso. Moreover, it la proWded br tho United Mates Constitution that no man shall be tried for h crlmo save in a court having jurisdiction over tho territory whore the crime was nllced to havo been committed, tbo limbs of which territory shall have boon previously determined. No Man's Land was not In tho defined limits of the Paris oourt provlous to the act of Congress ot last Spring. A.

XBira or xbe baizboadb iHtteat Iatoraaattoa From AU Quartero, The Canadian Poolflo Hallway has an nounced a joint through freight tariff from St Paul, Minneapolis, and other Western points, making a uniform rate ot 87X cents per 100 pounds to Boston, Portland. Greenville, and Mattawamkeag, Me., and Bt John and Bt. An drew's, N. B., and the news has been received by the business men of eastern Maine with surprise and Indignation. Aoeordlng to the new arrangoment the Canadian Paolflolsto deliver freight destined for St John or St An drew's to the Now Brunswick Rnilwar at Vanceboro at a less rate por hundred than to the Bangor and Piscataquis Railroad at Green ville, which lattor station Is 181 miles wost of Vanoeboro. This Is clearly a violation ot the charter granted by tbo Legislature, under which the Canadian Paclllo Is operated across the State ot Maine, and there Is a aecldod klok against any suoh tricks on the part of the for eign corporation, ihe charter provldos that the Canadian Paclflo shall deliver passangers and freight to, and receive the same from, con necting roads In the Stnto ot Malno without discrimination, nnd make and maintain rates with suoh roads pro rata, aoeordlng to dis tance. If the Canadian Pacific should comply with the torme of Rb obartor. through Western f rolght In oar load lots would bo dellvorod to tho Bangor and Piscataquis road, at about $15 less per oar than at St John, which would en title Bangor to be mado a. billing point, and thus greatly benefit tbat whole section. The Hon. J. P.

SUE JtUXT BATE BLOOD. Ttfe Abnormal Appetite Periodically De veloped by ss Tousg Texan Girl. Fnm vu riiUaitlrMct rime. Atlanta. Texas, Deo. 23. A malady of a most remarkable and distressing nature has recentlr atttacked the rouns daughter ot Wln tbrop Davis, who owns one of tbo largest saw mills In this vicinity. The youne lady Is In ber sixteenth year, and when In her normal health of an amiable, rather shrinking, disposition, and poBBessed of no small claim to beauty, bo'ldoB being intelligent and well advanced In her studies. About tareo months ago she fell into a low, melancholy state, and displayed a slnifular aerslon to all society, refusing on tlrely to converse at times and exhibiting a sullen, angry disposition when questioned or remonstrated with. All food wns rejected for several days, until a piece of freshly killed boot wns accidentally brought into her presence, when she threw borself upon it with all tho savago greediness of a famished animal, and began to tear and rend It with hor teeth, sucking tbe blood with a relish. Nines then, at coriods aryln from thteo to ssten days, she Is seized with tbe same thirst for blood, and when brought In sight of it will drink It with nvldltv. in spite ot all efforts made to restrain her. Suoti efforts are attended with much clangor, for during these attacks she falls to recognize evon the members of her family, and will snap and bito at any ono attempting to molost her. Her eutlre appearance undergoes a change, hor usually gentle expression becoming In humanly ferocious, her oyes bloodshot and glaring, whllo hor jaws snap furiously and she keeps up a liHuous snarling and growling. Her face becomes suffused wltb blood and bor liulr bristles on her bead like that of on angry animal. Once Batlated with blood she falls into a deep Bloup. ns if from Intoxication, and on awakening soems to hao no roraembranco wbateter of her singular attack, and Is onoe moro her quiet. lady-like self, only complain ing of severe headache, which frequently lasts until ber next seizure. Physicians wbo have seen her are at a loss to aocount for thocaunoot bor malady, and have up to the present failed entlroly to relieve her, By tbe advice of several, attempts havo been mado to keep her from the sight of blood, but tbe result Is so distressing tliat It Is now thought best to allow her to gratify her unnat ural thirst. Unable to do so otherwise, she at tanked ber own flesh, tearing it without anr apparent rain and Bucking the blood. On another occasion, when seomlnglr her self, hor attention was attracted to a younger brother, who, having cut his hand, entered the house for the purpose of having tbo bleeding gaBh bound up. She instantly leaped across the room, and without warning eotzod tbe boy's hurt hand in her mouth and bit blm to tho bone. It wns only wltb the greatost difficulty that she could be mnde to release him, and, when finally force j to lot go, gae vent to her rage In hoarse crlos or rather screams, like a wild beast cheated of its proy, Mr. Davis and his wlfo are persons of educa tion and refinement, and profess themselves entirely unable to aocount for their daughter's fiecullar aflllctlon, as on both Bides for genera Ions there has noter been anr intomperanoe or mental disease.
