querer. After some loud words by John

that even the No. 12's he wore was not
sufficient to keep his feet on the ground,
so landed on his head. This was only
the first round. however, and John L.
instantly arose and stood face to face
with the Conqueror. Bubbling over
with wrath and with fire in his eye, he

struck at the conqueror's head and
thrice did he grievously smite the air.

mediately retreated leaving John L.

the young man fined $1.00 which pun-
ishment we think very light consider-
ing the offence,

horrible murder committed in this

caller at The Bee Monday. Mr. Keith
tells us that they have been beseiged
by callers every day since the murder,
with the exception of two days, wbich
goes to show the widespread interest
taken in the horrible affair. The fami-
ly have also been the recipients of bush-
els of letters from all parts of America,
containing messages of s,vmpathy and
consolation. It will doubtless be inter-
esting to our readers to know that the
woman whom Chattclle spoke of as
meeting face to face on the day bf the
murder, and who could identify hies
better than any one present at the in-
quest, has been located, by the Crown,
and her evidence filed in Mr. Ading-
ton's office this week. It will be remem-
bered that this womanwas- subpoenaed
by the Crown to appear at the inquest,
but for some reasr•r or other she did
not appear. The .. .ct nature of her
evidence we have :.4.t learned, but Mr.
Keith assures asthat it is of the most
damaging charaeter.
