INHERITED CANCER
FROM HER FATHER.
Nellie Grant Sartoris UndergOeS an
Operation for a SSri-
Gus Ailment.

New York, Feb. 24.-Mrs. Nellie Grant
Sartoris, Gen. u. S. Grants favorite
child. came to New York from her moth
er's home in Washington to have cam
Ger removed by q skilled surgeon. 1t was
announced that her physician believed the
operation was successful and that she
was now on the road to recovery.
The fact that Gen. Grant died Of a
cancer is merely corroborative proof of Il
truth which is pretty generally accepted
now by the medical profession, that this
terrible disease is hereditary, just as
consumption is.
1t was at one time argued that Gen.
Grants cancer was due to excessive
smoking, but this has long been laughed
at by men like Dr. Shrady. his chief
physician, and other investigators. They
say that the deadly germ was in the
blood of the great warrior long before
he became a noted smoker.
L had not been informed of Mrs. Sar-
toris' affliction," DR.. Shrady said, but
if it is true that she has cancer / think
it very possible that the disease was
inherited from her father

c. M'COURT is INNOCENT.
Lake Mills Man Not Guilty of
Numbering John Roehl.
AN INTERESTING TRIAL
1t is Held that McCourt Acted Ira
Self Defense--Fight Over
Fence.

Jefferson, Wis, Feb. pa Special. i
The jury in the McCourt murder case
brought in q verdict this morning, find
Ing the defendant, George McCourt Of
the town Of Lake Mills, not guilty Of
numbering John Roeh.
The trouble for which McCourt was
dried grew out of putting fence across
a right-of-way. For a long time there
had been trouble between the two fami-
lies over this rightof-way. 1t seems that
McCourt was using the ground while
hauling some hay. He was cutting up
the sod and spelling the grass The
ROenls had placed some rails on the
ground to prevent McCourt from driving
over it. The morning Of March II Nc
Court went after some hay. The Roehl
boys, John, aged q. and his brother,
aged II, were cutting wood near by
When McCourt saw the rails on the
ground he got off the load of hay to re-
move the rails when the oldest Of the
boys STEPPED up to prevent him from do
ing so. This incensed McCourt so that
he struck John ROeh over the head with
the pitchfork he had in his hand. The
Younger brother then came to assist the
other. when McCourt laid him out with
the pitchfork. Just one week later John
ROehl, the oldest Of the two boys, died
from the injuries received. The Younger
boy fingered for q long time between life
and death-his mind being affected and it
was thought would remain 50, but finally
he recovered.
George McCourt of Lake Mills was
tried for the murder of John Roehl. the
eldest son of Christian Roeh, neigh
Dor OF McCourts. McCourt was defend
ed by John NJ. Olin Of Madison and r.
e. Kirkland of this place. The prosecu-
ton was conducted by District Attorney
Charles Il. Rodgers, assisted by his ia
Their.
The case has attracted wide attention
IN this county and the courtroom has
been crowded at every session. All the
evidence was in Thursday noon when the
district attorney made his opening add
dress 10 the jury. He demanded that
the prisoner be found guilty Of murder
III the first degree. If not in the first
then III the second. On Friday Mr..
Kirkland commenced for the defense and
in the afternoon Mr.. DIN and Mr..
Rodgers of Fort Atkinson made the clos
ing arguments. The court then adjourned
until s O'Clock this morning.
This morning, after the Judge had de-
livered his charge, the jury retired. At
ter thirty minutes deliberation the jury
returned with a verdict Of not guilty.

Navy Department Rejects the De-
mands of Spain.

Washington, D. c.. Feb. 24--The

Sibitu island or on Cagayan island
Spain has been demanding that these is
lands be returned to ii. The war de-
partment was ready to make the return

ing to surrender anything it had taken.
and has made its title good to the islands.
The state department will inform Spain
that the islands the property of the

Sibitu is east Of Borneo and Cagayan

btu was saved to the United States by
the discovery of IA old treaty between
Spain, Great Britain and Germany.
which specifically says that Borneo'
holding shall not extend farthe. than
three miles from the coast of Boneo.
Sibitu is on the opposite side of the chan
mel separating Borneo from the Sulu
archipelago.
AS to Cagayan island, the records show
that it was at one time used as penal
colony by Spain. and the latter is there
fore stopped from DENYING that it was
used as part of the Philippine group.

HIGH EXPLOSIVES.
An Apprehension Exists as to Their
Devastating Effecta

fnGCCSs
There is widespread misapprehension
in regard to the devastating effect Of
these high explosives, for when uncon-
lined the effect even Of large charges Of
them upon structures is comparatively
slight. AT the naval ordnance proving
ground, so long ago as 1884, repeated
charges of dynamite, varying from five

detonated on the face of a vertical target
consisting OF II one-inch wrought-iron
plates bolted to a 2O-inch oak backing,
until 40 pounds Of dynamite had been
SO detonated in contact with it, and yet
the target remained practically unin-
jured, while at Braamfontein the acct

hrmation Of the Durham report of Gen.

II Is regarded as Il curious fact that the
