Miss Eva Fenton, daughter Of p. D.
Fenton Of this city, seems to have been
quite prominent among those taking part
in the Carnival Of Nations" which has
just been presented to the people Of Min
neapolis by its amateurs. The Carnival
was for the benefit of the college hospital
and its success has been almost marvel
GUS In speaking of Monday evenings
program, Dec 22d,. the Tribune says "A
new feature was the 'cuse scene from
Leach the Forsaken, rendered by Miss
E. A. Fenton. Miss Fenton's costume
was exceedingly becoming and effective,
being a soft black stuff, draped in Frecian
style, and setting off handsomely her
white throat and arms. The part is too
difficult for an amateur, but Miss Fenton
sustained herself well, and in pose, ges
ture, and facial action was very effective
Her voice has not the power nor harsh
timbro requisites for the last passages,
but was exceedingly tender and pathetic
in parts requiring such expressions. We
also noticed in a description of the Tab
leaux IN the English Booth this reference
to the costumes: ''Miss E. A. Fenton, as
Beatrice, in the English Booth, wore a
trailing robe of pink brocaded silk, with
silver corsage, and pink and blue should
er puffs.
The DEATH OF HERMAN BERKHOLTZ.
Many of our citizens doubtless remem-
Der Herman Berkholtz, who was for
several years identified with the milling
interests of Austin and vicinity. He
came from Germany and brought with
him considerable money. At one time
he was IN company with Matt Gregson,
in what was then known as Alderson's
mill, afterwards worked for Jonathan
Gregson, w. H. Officer and Engle & Co.
During his stay in Austin he married a
woman of questionable antecedents, with
whom he was known to have considerable
trouble. Some five years since, he went
to Rock Rapids, Iowa. The sequel, we
learn from the Rock Rapids Re0ieao:
Last June, Older, Crane s. Co.'S circus ex-
hibited there, and Mrs. Berkholtz met, in
the person of T. A. Robinson an en-
ployee, an old lover. The intimacy was
renewed, and Mr.. Berkholtz died sudden
ly three days later under suspicious cir
cumstances; I'm many minds there was a
suspicion that Berkholtz died not from
natural causes, but from poison" An
inquest was held and the jury brought
in a verdict of death from causes I'm.
known to the medical fraternity. -Four
months after, Mrs. Berkholtz was mar
ried to Robinson at Chicago.
"A very pleasant party met at the resi-
dence Of Mr.. Hubbard Wheeler, in Red
Rock, on Thursday evening, Dec. 25th,
to witness the marriage of Mr.. Edwin
D. Shook of Brownsville, and Miss Ada
