~ Becker, the sausage maker
who killed his wife in Chicago, has
confessed to having boiled her body
to pieces in his sausage kettles.
Luettger was another sausage maker
in Chicago who cooked his wife in

The Cumberland Telephone ex-
changes at Jasper and Huntingbure
have completed arrangements where
by local line is to be run from
Huntingburg as far south as Dale
Indiana. The stations at Ferdi-
mann, Dale, st. Henry, Holland
and Johnsburg will then be put or
this line. Enough encouragement
has been received from the citizens
OF some Of these points to make the
gu. stion OF free service between
them and Jasper and Huntingburl
an assured thing. Whether or no,
a line will be run to Ireland is still
under advisement, but it will nc
doubt be completed some time this
spring, if the people there give reas-
enable encouragement. These ar
rangments will make telephone Of
the Cumberland people an indis
pensible convenience to both bust
ness men and residents, and will,
no doubt, also rebound to the com
pany's interest.

COLONIZATION SCHEME
TO REBUILD ESPARTO
George D. Fiske, a Member Of the
Syndicate, interviewing East
ern Capitalists.

WOODLAND, July H.-Esparto, in the
western part Of Yolo, first came into ex-
istence when the Vaca Valley Railroad d
was extended from Winters to Rumsey.
1t was expected that 1t would develop
into the most important town in Western
Yolo. A syndicate of Woodland capital
lists constructed fine hotel and several
pretentious store buildings, all of brick
The soil Is fertile, the location desirable
and the buildings are all of substantial
character; nevertheless the town has not
prospered, and for some time many of
the buildings have been unoccupied.
These conditions are said to be due to
conflicting interests that all efforts so far
have failed to harmonic.
A few days ago George D. F1ske, a
member of the syndicate, left for Boston
It was announced that the trip was un-
dertaken purely for rest and recreation.
1t is now currently rumored that before
Mr. Fiske left he induced the bank, hotel
and railroad companies to fix price for
their property and that Mr.. Fiske's real
purpose In going to Boston was to in
duce some capitalists with whom he is
personally acquainted to interest them
selves in the property. Rumor also has
it that if his mission is successful his
further plans contemplate the colonial
ton of Esparto and a part Of the sur
rounding country with Eastern people. If
these rumors are true, the people of Yolo
County are much interested in the sue
cess of Mr.. F4ske's mission.

ASKS FOR PERMISSION
TO PAY THE CLAIMS
Accounting Filed by the Administra-
trix of A. Page Browns


REDWOOD CITY, July 14-Lucy Pryor
Brown yesterday filed her account as ad-
ministratrix of the estate of A Page
Brown. The estate consists of personal
property and cash valued at s3s,79o "a and
a homestead appraised at $4,000.
One item in the account, over which
there has been considerable litigation,
was that of SIS 600, a sum received by the
administratrix on a life insurance policy
from the New York Life Insurance Com
pany. Some time ago the Administrative
petitioned the court to set apart to her
about 500 900 of this policy, claiming it as
her separate estate. This the court re-
fused to do, on the ground that the prem
ium on the policy amounted to over $500.
The matter was appealed to the Supreme
Court. where the decision of the lower
court was affirmed. The creditors of the
estate. of whom there are many, Were the
principal objectors at the time.
The administrative, after paying all ex-
pense of administration and of the last
fitness of the deceased, amounting to $15,-
2gI so. has a cash balance on hand of $16,-
245 so. Many thousand dollars in claims
have been presented to and allowed by
the administrators, the preferred claims
amounting to s41O9 So and the unpreferred
ones aggregating $3O, ,S99 2S. The admins
tratrix asks that she be permitted to pay
the preferred claims in full.
