Thatcher, Dockstader, Pullman, Ray

that Thatcher Introduces some Of the old

be very superior. In variety he has also
some excellent performers, but if there
were only Thatcher, Lew Dockstader

Cook County storekecper Arrested.


CHICAGO, Oct. 1S.-John A. Celia,
storekeeper of the Cook County Insane
Asylum, was arrested last night for NAL.
feasance in Office and making false and
fraudulent entries in the official
records of the county. He is
said to be one of those who have
been systematically robbing Cook
county of unknown sums Of money.
Last June bids were opened from
eighteen firms to furnish coal to insti-
tutions. The lowest was that
of J. T. Nash s. Co., Offering
to furnish soft coal at So, as
per ton. It was so low that
it created suspicion. The firm got the
contract, however, and was afterwards
discovered to consist of Alderman Dan.
lei O'Brien, of the Twenty.third Ward,
and j. T. Nash, sewer builder. They
claimed to have control of a mine in the
hands of q receiver. It has since been dis.
covered that Storekeeper Eolla borrowed
coal weighers book ostensibly to trans
ter the figures on the ledger and that he
raised the weight on nearly every car
from 2. 900 to 10000 pounds. appraising
the bills from the ledger In addition
to this, it is found that
the county has been paying for
meats and provisions in much larger
quantities than were needed or used,
and much of which was unfit for use.
An investigation is now being made of
the poorhouse business.

Red lake Reservation Flooded.

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 15.-Platt B.

Government Surveyor Knapp, Surveyor
Knowlton and others, who left Mime.
apolis about ten days since for the Red
Lake Indian reservation country, where
they were to engage in surveying for
the government, have returned. The
gentlemen, some of whom have exten.
sive contracts with the government,
went into the Red Lake country, after
having made extensive preparations,
with the idea that they were going to be
able to carry on their work without any
interruption. Unfortunately such was
not the case and they are considerably
out of pocket in consequence. They
found the prospects exceedingly un-
pleasant. The country was literally
flooded. It was utterly impossible to
prosecute the work of surveying, owing
to the heavy rains which had made the
fields sea of RAIN and mud. The con.
tracts call for the surveying to be done
this fall and winter. Unless the govern
ment sees fit to extend the time the con.
tractors will suffer.

She was the victim of la grippe dur

Thurman in November, 1914, and has

''The czar of Russia is q fanatic of

Jews, he is spreading incense before the

thinks they should be exterminated be.
cause they crucifed Christ, is the czars

Americans for the Chinese is not so

They Dragged Him

CRooKsToS, MINI. Oct. 1S.-The first
case of the season of an attempt to rob
occurred at the Minnesota House, but
instead of being held up the victim
was held down with dose of medi-
cine. AL Roberts, machinist at the
Walker saw mill, was the person who
would have suffered had it not been for
wise precaution. Mr.. Roberts woke
up about midnight feeling sick. He
started to dress. but not finding his
clothes he got hold of an old pair of
pants, and after walking around out
doors for few minutes he was as well
as ever and returned to bed. In the
morning he found that his clothes we're
gone for good, and then realized that
he had been drugged during the night.
Mr.. Roberts Was known to have had $40
in cash on his person, SO that the par
ties who dragged him and stole the
clothes must have expected to find the
money in the pockets. His pants were
found afterwards under some ties near
the Great Northern railroad track with
the jack knife and keys gone and his
shoes still missing. Mr.. Roberts had
taken proper care Of his money and had
none of it in his pockets 30 that the rob
bers only secured his shoes, knife and
keys

HORRIBLE MURDER.
A Weak Minded Milwaukee Girl
Murdered by q Young Fiend,
Who Afterwards
Covered the Body With Refuse from
Her Fathers Barnyard to
hide his Awful Crime.

MILWAUKEE. Oct 49, Annie Kodatz
15-year-old, weak minded girl, was
murdered Oct. Z by. Albert Kohls, 49,
year old boy who worked on her father g
farm, just outside the city. The muir
der was discovered last night and today
Kohls confessed.
Kohls had been intimate with the girl
and she was soon to become a mother.
Kohls killed her, he says, for this
reason: On the day of the murder she
first put in the soup the family was to
eat for dinner enough of paris green to
kill a regiment Kodatz CHANGED to
bs in hurry and ate the plate of soup
before the rest Of the family sat down
to dinner. It made him sick and he
warned the rest of the family not to eat
it. He had received such big dose of
paris green it acted as an emetic and
did not kill him. Officers were called
to investigate the poisoning and ques.
toned every member of the family but
Annie. She had disappeared less than
an hour before the officers arrived and
they concluded
SHE ATTEMPTED TO POISON THE FAMILY
and fled. Last night Farmer Kodatz
investigated the cause of the terrible
cdor that was emanating from the barn
and found the body of Annie covered
with manure under the stable floor.
The boy was arrested on suspicion and
confessed he killed the girl by striking
her on the head with a hammer. He
had been sent to repair hole in the
barn and Annie was helping. While
she was holding board for him to saw
he struck her four times on the head,
threw her body through the hole in the
floor, covered it with stable refuse and
nailed down the floor. When the off.
GERS were investigating the poison
ing they questioned Kohls, as
to the whereabouts of Annie, Kodatz
stolidly told them he thought she had
gone to the field to work, exciting no
suspicious by his manner. Even now
he does not appear to. realize
that he has committed a crime.
