edge of corn field less than twenty
rods from the spot where he had killed
the woman. He had returned to the
house after killing the woman to get a
razor with which to end his own life.
His throat was cut on both sides and it
had not taken him long to
bleed to death. Young Kohaupt is
said to have been naturally
Of murderous disposition. He was
fond oftorturing animals, and of saying
how much he would enjoy cutting his
own throat and the throats of people
who did not suit him. He did not get
along at all we'll with Mrs. Kruger,
and was frequently heard to say that
he would shoot her at the first oppor-

Mayor Buttles Makes a Personal Raid on
Burlington Saloons.
BURLINGTON, August l4.-Quite a
sensation was produced here when
Mayor Buttles in person conducted a
raid on several saloons that kept open
contrary to law. A crowd was
assembled in the celebrated Pabst
cafe, conducted by bud McKimm,
when the mayor forced his way in and
arrested McKimm, greatly humiliating
him by taking him to the station in the
patrol wagon. The mayor caused the
arrest of six saloon men, but failed to
close four other well-known resorts
patronized by his friends. and therefore
there is considerable comment. When
the arrested saloon men were brought
before the court the cases were con-
tinued until next week. Tho saloons
operate under the mulct law, while the
information under which the arrests
were made is sworn out under the
Clarke prohibition law.
