eases prevailing in Camp Cuba
Libre, and particularly with regard to
malarial and typhoid fevers, has con-
cluded his labOrs and announces most
positively that he has been unable to
find a single case Of malarial infec-

continued fever cases are said to be
typhoid.

Camp Cuba Libre are cared for as well
as it is possible for a large body of
men encamped anywhere in the United
States This is the conclusion of re-
port filed today by Governor Shaw, by
Colonel H. Egbert, of Davenport and
DR.. F. w. Parsons, Of Rivenbeck. They
were special commissioners appointed

Family.

Chicago September l1.-Fritz Ben
field. Danish laborer. shot and killed
himself today Immediately after firing
two bullets into Mrs. Minnie Young
berger and fatally wounding her 2
year-Old son Emil. whom she was
holding in her arms. Benficl who
was of an ugly quarrelsome disposi-
ton. threatened last night 10 kill his
wife and five children, and Mrs Ben
fiel caused his arrest today. He accus-
ed Mrs. Youngberger. a neighbor, OF
being party TO his arrest and when
she denied it he drew a revolver and
opened fire. The boy died within an
hour; the mother will recover. Ben
fiel then sent a bullet through his own
brain dying instantly.
His death instead OF being a grief TO
his family was al unqualified JOY
Within an hour after the shooting Mrs
Benfiel was holding an impromptu re-
ception and acknowledged the congrat-
ulations Of the neighbors who called
Mime Benfiel, the eldest daughter, re-
marked: I'm glad of IL. He should
have done IL long ago" She and one
of her sisters announced their inten-
ton of giving a theatre party to cele-
brate their fathers death and their
mother went them one better by say
ing that she would not even bury him.
The county authorities she said, could
take the body and give II a pauper's
funeral. She will pay the expenses
but will have nothing more 20 do with
the funeral
Benfiel had kept his family in ter
ror for years and was generally ac-
counted worthless by his neighbors.
