Legislating For Devtors. The recent legislature of Kaneas passed an act extending the time for the redemption of real estate sold under foreclosure of mortgage aud providing other means for debt- ors to evade and postpone the pay- ment of their honest obligations according to the terms of the con- tract.

When Mr. Hearn arrived on the scene the house was almost entirely consumed. Upon investigation the bodies of Mrs. Gibson and Mrs. Hearn were found burned to a crisp. The little girl said that after the shots were fired she saw her father run from the house and go toward the wooda in the direction of White water. The impression is that Git- son in a fit of anger shot the two women aud then fired the place to hide the crime. A posse of citizens was organized and started in pur- suit of Gibson.
