Miss Anna L. Pritchard, draft-teller
in the national bank ut Sioux City,
Iowa, was one of the delegates to the
bankers convention at Boston. This
fact suggests that women might do
well to enter into the banking business
more largely. The experience with
women in the treasury at Washington
has long since resulted in strong and
unanimous testimony to their fitness for
employment demanding the delicacy
of observation and accurate power of
calculation demanded by financial
work. They are generally known as
qui' ker accountants than men and as
more quick to detect frauds and coun-
terfeit money. Their precision. faith

amnnr fha Onilfu Parfiaa

Buried in Root Cellar His Vito and Par.
amour tho Guilty Parties.
The remains of Milan Brass OF Missaukee
county, who was murdered I'm June last by
his wife and paramour, James Craft, have
been found buried in a root cellar near his
late home. A post mortum examination
showed that he was struck heavy blow
on the right side of the face and also shot.
The bullet entered the top OF his head, tax
ing downward course and lodging in the
cody. Intense excitement continues:
The discovery was the result Of scheme
by the officers, who had a friend call on
Craft in jail, visit with him ana tell MIN
that the sheriff had said that he could see
him and Mrs. Brass as much as he liked.
He then offered slyly TO carry letters Tor
them. Craft wrote a long letter TO Mrs.
Brass about the murder Offering TO own
mp and claim that the killing was In sell
defense and implicate himself only, he
scoffed at the thorough search MADE Ior
Brass body, saying it was hurried too deep
In the root cellar to be found. A copy OF
this letter was taken by the sheriff and
then sent to Mrs. Brass. Others passed,
making the evidence against them posi-
tive. Search was then made in the cellar
with the result already stated.
On July 81 Mrs. Edna Brass and James
Craft were arrested at Petoskey for the
murder of the woman's husband, Milan
Brass. The couple lived in Norwich town
ship, Missaukee county. Brass disappear
ed June 10 after asking forsa three days
leave of absence from his employers, Gibbs
Bros, at Mayheld. He went home, as
Mrs. Brass admitted, but no one explained
his subsequent disappearance. Two days
later she disposed Of her personal property
and moved away. Later she and Craft
were found living together as man and
wife at Petoskey, and were arrested as
above stated, many circumstances point
inc dirartlV To their guilt.
Mrs. Brass and James Craft have been
taken to Cadillac for safe keeping, as
threats of lynching were freely made In
Lake City and vicinity.

yesterday morning after a long illness, dur

to become an, eminent practitioner. He

thought that his close application to his

for the disease to which he succumbed. He
