township, thitteen miles from .

. was aeut by his mother to» grocery
a mile distant to purchase some medi‘tifes and some wugur.’ He departed
on thé errand, and that was a
wig

thought nothing of hig disappearance
nntil late at night. Not returning,
they went'to the neighbors to seek
some trace of him; but the only word
got of him was from one of the
neighbor's “boys, “who said hehad}, :
seen George on his way home* fron
the store-in an alteratiqn with Timothy Bacon,..On the. morning’ fol.
lowing, two boys who were passing
through the’ woods where the lad
was last seem had their attention
drawn to a singular mound of leaves
between the bark of two trees. They
went. over to it, kicked. awuy the
Jeaves and earth, when ta their hopYor and amazement they saw the
dead body of George Shaum. The
corpse emitted afoul stench which
‘drove them back, and when they
gained sufficient nerve to near it
again they discovered that ‘the fave
was black and blue and bloody, und
presented ‘a most horrible appearance, Closer. examination revealed
came forward, and in an address of = ee thes Ge eRolkeqtifoken in
several places and the clothing rent
and torn. An alarm was-given, the
neighbors suunmoned and the body
of the boy. removed. to. the ;honse,
where the grief-stricken family received it,
Steps were taken by the neighbors
“to discover, if possible, the murderer.
Searching about the) vicitity where .
the body was first found, inditations
were discovered of where the murderer had at first tried to dig a grave
in which to bury the victim, Near
the partially made grave was found
a package of medicine which young
. Shaum had purchased the day before.
Suspicion pointed to Timothy Bacon,
and the officer found him in the barn
in thé rear‘of his steptather’s house.
He took the arrest with perfect indifference, and when acquainted with
the charge upon which he had been
taken in custody vehemently denied
it. However when questioned closely
by the Justice of the Peace, Fassola,
he admitted striking Shaum’ with a
club for his refusal in handing over
the atticles he had putvhased at
store. This -acknowlddgement was
tegarded as enough by the. magistrate, and the prisoner was remanded
to jail for further examination, From
the appearance of the-dead body,” it
wonld seem that young Shaum was.
beaten to death with a wattle, a little
hickory stick, half switch and _ half
elub. Young Bacon _is not a bright
boy by any méaus. He ‘is course
limbed, very uncouth in dress, and
the expression of his face. at times
devilish. He betrayes not the slightest fear and manifests no concern
whatever as to his position. ~~

of penitence, he siitteéded in reinstating himself in the confidence . of

few days, he pretended to have dispovered a favorable opening for engaging im the: restaurant business

his wife to mortgage ber homestead
for $2,000, which was the amount of
