A drive to that location w a* taken by a flavanraih gentleman, and a r##pr#*s#*iii* j live of tne #*lrcus tw#> or three days Ago.

Meantime the other police hid been try ing to get In the front door, and threat ened to break It down if sonic one di<| not open It. It woe opened finally and th-- supposed murdered woman was found alive and well, hut a little ruffled In tcin twr She refused to prefer charges against her friend, so he was released, and the officers of Ihe law, after di-perstug th* crowd, went their way wondering ut the vagaries of human nature.
