SCENTING A CRIME
How a Russian Police Inspector
Formulated a Theory.
WORKING UP A MURDER CASE.
He Mode All the Known Fact# In the
Case Fit Into Each Other Perfectly '
and Thon Proceeded to Demonstrate
His Accuracy of Deduction.
We are not encouraged to believe
that the Russian police Inspector Is tlio
equal of the trained French official If
Anton Chekhoff's story of the deduc
tlvo method iu Russia Is Illustrative.
One morning a young man hurried
into the office of an Inspector of police
and reported that his master, an officer
of the guard who had been separated J
from his wife and lived alone, had |
been murdered. lie was greatly ex
cited. The Inspector went with him at
once to the scene of the tragedy.
When he arrived at the house he |
found the door to the officer's bedroom
locked, the key on the Inside. Tuo
servants, unable to awake their mas
ter, had concluded that he was dead.
The Inspector found the door unin
jured. He had It forced open. The bed
tad been tossed about, the pillows on
the floor. Ou n table near the bed was
the officer's watch and some silver
coins. The officer and his clothing
were gone except for a single boot that
lay on the floor. The Inspector exam
ined the room carefully. The only
thing he found was a partly burned
safety match. It was known that tho
officer did not smoke and used only
suiphur mat -hes for his candles. He
examined the garden below the win
dow. The grass nnd some bushes had
been trcuipleft. He found u piece of
cotton on some twigs and some fine
threads of dark blue wool. At some
distance from the window. In the gar
den under a bush, he found the second
The Inspector came to the conclusion,
from tbe evidences, tlnit the man had
been strangled and his body taken out
through the window.
TL-p fr.ct that the watch and money
were undisturbed showed that the pur
pose of the crime was not robbery.
The safety mrreh indicated that some'
person abo\e clie o.-Jinary was con
nected with the udalr, since peasants
or common servants would have only
sulphur mnt>?hes. The fact that one
boot remn'med in the room mnde the
Inspector believe that the guardsman
bad been killed while -lie was undress
ing. The finding: of the other boot In
the garden indicated (hat tills one had
beeu partly removed and had fallen
off while the body was being carried
away.
The Inspector In Ills report recon
ft rile ted (he crime: On the evening in
question tiie guardsman, who had been
on u prolonged debauch, went to his
room drunk. As be sat on his bed,
taking off one of bis boots, be had been
attacked and uuiotheted with the pil
low. During the struggle the candle
was knocked over and afterward one
of the assass'ns relighted It. striking a
safety match. When the man was dead
his body had been tak(?n out through
the window and carried across the gar
den. As it passed the lilac bush the
remaining boot, partly removed by the
man before he was attacked, dropped
deduction, determined to locate the
safety match. lie went to nil the shops
In every direction, but not one of them*
carried in its stock such a thing as fi
box of safety matches. Finally, nt
some distance from the scene of the
tragedy, lie found a shopkeeper who
had a single pack of such matches. It
was a broken pack, with one bos miss
lug. The shopkeeper remembered pre
cisely who had purchased this missing
box. It was the wife the guards
man,' a big. masculine woman of un
usual physical strength. She lived near
the apartment in which the guards
man had been murdered. It was now
night, but the inspector went nt once
to the woman and charged her with
the murder of her husband.
"I know all about it," he said. "Take
me at once to the place where you
have concealed your husbnud!"
She got a key from a nail on the
wall and went out into the courtynrd
The inspector followed. They finally
reached a little house nt the end of
the garden. The woman unlocked the
door and they entered. By the light of
a candle the inspector saw the long
body of a man lying motionless on a
bed in the corner of the room. He
approached tj examine the murdered
body. •
But here his deductions went i to
pieces. The supposed dead man sat
up, nud the explanation of all the
tragic incidents appeared. The guards
man was going to bed every night
drunk. Ills wife heard of it and went
across the garden to his window to
remonstrate with- him. He put the
window tip and. seeing who it was,
threw liis boot nt her. She was a
resolute woman in masculine efficiency.
She climbed in through the window,
thrashed the drunken guardsman
soundly, dragged liim across the gar
den and locked lilm up in the bath
house. where she determined to keep
him until he should be sober. He had
been thus a prisoner for one day, while
with swift deductions the Inspector
had worked out his -complicated mur
der.—Melville Dnvisson Post in Satur

ANNOUNCEMENT
Altaougli our partons were not
aware of the fact, nevertheless
they huve chosen for us the brand
of confectionery that we shall ca>
ry in stock. For several months
pas*, we liaye been receiving sam
ples from various Pacific Coaet con
fectioners, and our frienda and
patrons have been, invited to test
these samples. The decision, with
out one sitgle exception was that
A, & K. candy was' the best. Al
most tvery one declared "delicious.'
Having thus rendered a decision
as to wnat candy was preferred, we
entered into negotiations with A
Ar K. and after much correspond
ence we secured from them the ex
clusive agency in Skagway. for
their products. Not only did we se
cure the agency for their package
goods, such as "Chocolate Butte:
Crisp" and "Victoria Chocalotea,"
but we induced them to sidestep a
rule .lud sell us their entire liue
cf choice bulk chocolates.
We therefore announce that for
the first time since A. & K. have
entered the confectionery business,
we are the only store that haa ev
er sold their chocolates in bulk
and we are proud to state that
frcm this time oai you will be able
to get all varieties of Augustine
Kvers candies in quantities to
suit your appetite aud purse.
The price will be 60 cents per
pcund or fraction thereof for thf.
hulk chocolates, and you will at all
times t>& sold only that which is
fresh. This price is the same that
you ivould pay for the same gools
if you were to step into the A.&
Iv ; tore in Seattle.
If you have not sampled thlu
candy, jou are cordially invited to
call and try it. Keller Bros. Drug
