FIVE DAYS IN PRISON FOR MURDER. |

About seven years ago I was at work on Burot Fiat, Springfield. I didn’t live on} the flat, for the fellows who congregated | about there were such a rowdy lot, that my mate and I preferred takiug up our abode at the bead of ove of the small gullies in the neighbourhood. nly one other persoa Iived near us, and that was an old fellow) named Steele, who occupied a log-hut about a couple of bundred yards from our tent. Ile bad been on the diggings ever since the first, aud had never been known to work |

going down to the township of an evening to

| amuse himself, I used to pay Stecle a visit

almost every night, and at last we got quite friendly, and he told me many a curious in- | cident io his past life, for he bad been for years a hunter in America before he took to the diggings in Califoroia. Amongst other articles suspended on the walls of bis but was @ revolver with five notches cut on the but, each of which, as he told me, represent- ed an ladian shot down by it in hand-to- band conflict. About his present circum- stances, however, be was much less com- municetive ; and though, from one thing or | another, I was led to infer that he was doing rather better with his surfacing than was generally imagined, yet I had no sus- picion that the stuff waa more than what wight be termed just payable, Une night, oa coming home, | found my wate awaiting my retura. * You have been aver to Steele's, | sup- | pose,” said he. ‘Yes. I dido’t expect you so soon, or I would have returned before.’ ‘He is a rare cyunivg old fox, is your

friend Steele.*

* How so ?* ‘Why, be has been keeping that hill- | side to himself all these three months,— everybody thinkiag it to be mere tucker- grouud—-and hang me if he hasn’t beco |

‘ Whatis the matter ?’ said I, after sitting |

quiet for some moments,

* Did you hear a scream ?

‘1 beard nothing at all.’

‘Tam sure it was the ery of a buman being, and seemed to come from the hill-side yonder.’

We went to the tent door and listened. No sound was to be heard but the roaring of the storm, and the splash of the heavy | rain-drops.

‘f must have been mistaken,’ said he ; ‘let us turn in.’

In the morning when I rose, which I did at daybreak, for Vesey was anxious to be off, I noticed that the door of Steele's but | Was open.

*The old chap is up early,’ thought 1. +] suppose he is out prospecting, now they bave cleared out his hill.’

After breakfast, I showed my guest a short cut, by which he might avoid the township altogether, and then went off to wy work. I had just come up from below, about smoking time, when I saw a whole mob of fellows runving im my direction, headed by Brady. As 1 was woudering what could be the matter, they came up to where 1 was sitting, and before 1 bad time to ask any questions, I was seized by a dozen rough bands and pinioned.

* Come,’ said 1, ‘just drop this, I am not fond of jokes.’ | *QOhb!a joke you call it, do you ?’ said Brady ; * 1 douw’t think you will find it one, | though. maticr as anything I have known for some time.’ | ‘*Ifanging matter! | you mean 2 "+ How innocent he is, mates!

‘Qh, of course not! and pray how your axe come to be found there ?

* But,’ | exclaimed, + will no cone tell me with what [ am charged ?’

‘Why,’ said my old mate, who was amongst the crowd, ‘some fellows were passing by Steele's hut this morning, aud finding the door open, went in to take a iook

round, and there they found the owner on |

the floor dead, with his dog beside him, badly cut about, but stillalive. ‘The murder had been coramitted by an uxe, and after a careful search yours was found covered with

blood, concealed in the bush close by. |

However, keep up your pluck. None of us who know you, believe you did it, though it is confoundedly awkward your sleeping all alone in that teut.’

‘But I was not alone. Dick Vesey, whom some of you know, passed the night with me, and he can prove [ was never a yard from my tent all the night.’

*D—a your Dick Vesey,’ said Brady, savagely, ‘what's be to me? Come along at once, or L’li make you.’

worked out our hole, : ‘the Ovens. I bad been there about nine or ten months, when, one Sunday morning ‘early, and on stepping out I saw a crowd ‘of fellows round a tent which had only been put up # night or two before. I walked up to have a look what was the matter, and thea found that it was a dispute between @ Cor- | nisbman and ao Irishman, the former ‘charging the latter with baving sold bim a salted hole on Bendigo, some little time ‘before. Well, I thought 1 knew the Trish- man’s voice, and when I came to look at him iclosely, sure enough it was Brady, though a, ‘jong beard and a digger’s costume had made a great change in his appearance. * Ob ho! ‘my friend,’ thought 1, * now | have got you, ‘have L! We will soon settle our little difference.’ Just at this moment up came Watchman, who had lagged behind to have 'a little quiet conversation with a neighbor's | ‘dog, baviog much improved in bis manners | since he had been with me. We were on) the skirt of the mrob, but no sooner did he ‘hear Brady’s voice than he dashed through ‘the crowd, and in an ipstant pinved bim by ithe throat. Of course there was no end of | ‘confusion and uproar, but with great ‘difficulty we managed to get the dog off jagain. I had, however, to hold him back with all my force to keep bim from renewing his attack. As soon as Brady was free he /jumped up like a mad-man, rushed into the) itent, and coming out again with a revolver | io his band, drew on the dog, perfectly re-| \gardiess of whom he might hit. Luekily | the first barrel missed fire, and before he could discharge the second a bystander caught him a blow over the arm with a} pick-handle which made him drop his| weipou. I stooped to pick it up to prevent | his re-gaining it, but you may imagine what) my surprise was when I perceived that it| | was the very revolver I had often noticed in | Steele’s teat.

Dick Brady, the trooper } ‘here, or O’Counor, as he now calls himself, | | was oo Springtield at the time, so T thiok it) would be just as well to ask him a few) questions.” | I suppose Brady began to think wd things were growing awkward, for seizing a shovel he gave it one sweep, clearing a Circle | ‘all round him, and thenwtaking advantage of the confusion, started for the bush as hard as he could lay legs to the ground.

* Dick Brady.’

‘The very man we are after. He’s wanted | for a murder in town, It’s a clear case, for one of his pals has peached.’ | We handed over our prisoner, glad | ‘enough to get rid of bim.

“{ have sold large quantities of your SARSAPA- RILLA, but never yet one bottle which failed of the desired effect and full satisfaction to those who took it. As fast as our people try it, they agree there has been no medicine like it before in our community.
