MYSTERY AT OCONOMOWOC.

OconomOwoc, Wis, Nov. 21.-Ernest
Cornell and his two children, Willie,
aged 6. and Lille aged 4, were found
lying on the bed at his residence
with their threats cut early Saturday
morning. Cornell was unable to give
atisfactory statement as to how the
little ones ann himself came to be in
jUred. The children were dead, but
Cornell was unable to give a state
ment.
Cornell said that man named Lewis
had come to his house Friday night
AND induced him to drink a lot of
whisky. Early SATURDAY. morning
Lewis told George Shepherd that Cor
nell was dead and Shepherd went to
the house to investigate, finding the
children dead ard the father badly in
jured. Later Deputy Sheriff Palmer
arrested Lewis.
Cornell had been employed at the
jones farm, and is said to have not
been heavy drinker. Mrs. Cornell
was a widow when she married the
second time and had two children by
her first husband. The statement by
Cornell is that Lewis has been board
ing with him for SC me weeks and that
his (Cornell's) wife and Lewis were
together much of the time. Cornell
said that after drinking the whisky
he started to read a newspaper, but
soon lost consciousness and knew
nothing more until he was awakened
by the clock striking $3.50. Cornell
laid that Friday evening he asked his
wife not to leave the house with
Lewis, but that she refused and went
in spite of his entreaties.
When Mrs. Cornell entered the house
Saturday morning she expressed great
surprise at the condition of Cornell
ann later appeared greatly shocked
when she beheld the two children.
Sheriff Palmer says that after MAX
ing a partial investigation of the muir
der he is unable to decide who killed
the children and injured the father.
Il was notified of the affair."" said the
sheriff, by neighbors, who were sum-
mcned by Lewis. The discovery of
the murder was made by Mrs. Cornell,
who slept in the house, but not in the
same room with her husband She
called Lewis, who had gone to the barn.
When Cornell was found he was suf-
fering from long cash across his
throat and cuts across his wrists He
was very weak from loss of blood and
could not make statement until after
his wound had been sewn up. He
stated that he had gone to bed about 9
O'Clock Friday night and that after
that his wife had given him whisky.
When he awoke early Saturday
morning he found himself on the floor
and staggered over to the bed, where
he found the two children dead. Cor
nell's razor, with which the deed had
evidently been done, was lying on the
floor. We have made a partial inves-
tigation of the matter and will again
take it up Monday. Mrs. Cornell will
be arrested and she and Lewis will be
held"

Washington, Nov. 24.-The special
naval board appointed to examine in
to the cost of armor making will
present to congress the details Of q
plant which it has designed. 1t will
cost more than $3,OO0,000 and will
have a capacity of 5000 tons of armor
per annum, which is about the com
bined capacity Of the two armor plants
now supplying the navy. The pro-
cesses of manufacture will include the
very latest developments in the art
Vi 1netallurgy. Superior, Wis, is
bidding for the location of the plant
within it's limit.
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt has
submitted to the secretary of the navy
the report of Lieutenant Gibbons who
has charge of the naval militia mat
tiers. The report speaks in high
terms of the operations of the naval
militia and is approved by ROose-
welt. Commenting on the inspection
lrade by himself Roosevelt says: Il
was greatly pleased with the zeal and
efficiency shown by the different or
CARNATIONS which I personally Wis
tied (Oh:o, Michigan, Illinois and
New Yolk) and no less with the
showing made by most of the others,
as set forth in the accompanying re-
port The different state organiza-
ticns are continually asking for old
vessels and as the supply is practically
exhausted it is hoped that congress
will authorize in the first place a sub
stitution for the old paddle-wheel
steamer Michigan on the lakes of
small modern gun-boat, perhaps ON
the Petrol type, to be devoted largely
to cruising with the lake militia or
CARNATIONS and overseeing them;
and furthermore, authorize the build
ing of similar small cruiser on the
Pacific, and two on the Atlantic, to
be used for this same purpose. With
these cruisers it will be possible to
bring the naval militia organizations
to very high standard of efficiency,
and the cruisers themselves, of course,
would be available in an emergency"

company. He made his headquarters
at the Hotel Pfister and soon after
complained of poor health. Dr..
Friend was called at his request and
found him nervous and i'll of the
grippe. He attended him at the hotel
until Friday aid then had him re-
moved to the Wisconsin General hos

vousness to remove him to the Pas
savaIt hospital, which was done.

Frightening a Grizzly.

"While believe that grizzly bear
will in majority of cases wait for a
fight with man and take pains to get
in the way of one, there are times
when it will seem to think better of il,
and back out. A ,markable instance
of this l heard OF once, where ia
nous guide courageously advanced
upon three grizzlies, an old she bear
and two half grown cubs, and by a
series of ridiculous monkey shines and
acrobatic manoeuyres on the ground
within a rod or two of the bears,
filled them with such'astonishment and
apparent fear that the three hastily re-
treated into the woods. The guides
gun had snapped in both barrels, he
having drawn on the old bear before
the young ones appeared. He after
ward said that it was in fit Of desper-
alton that he tried the turning of a
handspring ard jumping up and down
Hopping his hands and resorting to
other unhunterlike measures. He had
been told once that a hunter had
frightened a mountain lion away by
similar absurd movements, and he
found that il worked to perfection in
the case of the bears, although he did
not encourage any one to go hunting
grizzlies armed with nothing more
than capacity to turn somersaults. "
