adopted son of Mr. Hiram Singer,
who works at the shoe factory, came
home for his dinner, he found his
liislcr father sitting in a chair, with
his knife in one hand and a piece of
pine wood in the other, evidently in
the act of preparing kindling to start
the fire to get dinner, his head lean
ing back, and the young man at once
took in the situation. 1 le ran across
the street to the residence of Mr. and
Mrs. A. J. Strob, and gave the
alarm. They followed him to the
house and found Mr. Singer sitting
in the chair dead. Dr. F. J. Wag

refusing to take periodicals from the
office or removing and leaving them
uncalled for, is prima facie evidence
of fraud.

to continue taking it, otherwise the
publisher is authorised to send it,
and the subscriber will be responsible
until an express notice with payment
of all arrearages is sent to the pub
lisher. The latest postal laws are such
that newspaper publishers can arrest
one for fraud who takes a paper and
refuses to pay for it. Under this
law the one who allows his subscrip
tion to run along for some time un
paid, and then orders it discontinu
ed, or orders the postmaster to mark
it "refused" and have a postal card
sent notifying the publisher, leaves
himself liable to arrest and fine, the
same as for theft.
