John Lane Finds His Daughter Work
ing in Kenosha After a Search
of Six Years.
WILL HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS
Strange, Romantic Story of Miss Edna
Lane, of Phillip, West Virginia, Finds
It's Close in KenOsha.

There was a happy family reunion
at home in the west part of the city
Friday night, when John Lane found
a daughter who had been missing
from his home in Phillip, West Vir-
ginia, for more than six years. Dur
ing ali this time the father had been
searching for his daughter, but no
trace of her had been found until it
was discovered that she was working
as domestic in this city.
Miss Edna Lane was at one time
we'll known young lady of Phillip, but
a romance which came into her life
some six years ago estranged her from
her home and parents and made her
wanderer about the country. Miss
Lane at this time was engaged to
young man named Fischer, but her
parents opposed the match and the
young people finally e1oped and were
married at Wheeling. The two then
were refused the parental blessing and
Mr.. and Mrs. Fischer came West to
make their home in Chicago. Two
years ago Fischer died, leaving his
wife penni1ess and with one child to
support. The child was placed in a
home in Chicago and the lady started
out to earn her living as a domestic.
She came to Kenosha about three
months ago and has been known here
under the name of Fischer. How
ever, none of her friends had learned
OF her wedding or of her having left
her home. When the couple came to
Chicago the father lost all trace of
them, butsa short time ago the mother
of Mrs. Fischer died and the father
started out to search for the daughter.
He claimed Friday evening that he
had been to almost every city in the
Union looking for Fischer and his
daughter. Last Friday, while in Chi
cago, he learned that the daughter was
in this city and he at once came here.
Having the address of the daughter, it
was easy to find her and the reunion
and reconciliation was complete.
Mrs. Fischer at once accepted the
invitation of her father to return to
the home III West Virginia and they
left this morning for the East. 1t will
indeed be a happy Christmas for the
two, as it is stated that the father is
we'll fixed and that he is intending to
make his daughter gift of a home for
a Christmas present.

John PrendIe, Son of Harvard Station
Agent, Committed Suicide Late
Friday Evening.
SAD ENDING OF A ROMANCE.
Young Man Had Been Keeping Company
With Miss Lovetree and his Father
Objected-Last Interview.

The little village of Harvard, ILL.,,
Just over the state line, had great
sensation Friday evening, when John
Prend1e, aged II years, and a son of
the Northwestern agent, committed
suicide because he was not allowed to
keep company with Miss Lovetree, a
daughter of DR.. Lovetree, and one of
the best known young ladies of the
village.
The suicide of young Prend1e was of
the most sensational nature. He had
been keeping company with the young
lady for some time, but the match had
been violently opposed to by the father
of the boy. Last night, as was his
custom, Prend1e went to the home of
his sweetheart and made a call, return
ing to his home about 9 o'clock. A
stormy interview with his father fol-
lowed and it is stated that Prend1e de-
manded that the son make no more
visits to the Lovetree home. Young
Prend1e replied that he would either
visit the girl or die. The father re-
piled that he must not go to see the
girl again.
These were the last words said to the
young man and he went out into the
back yard and shot himself twice.
One of the bullets went through his
heart and killed him instantly. He was
dead when his father reached him.
The news of the suicide stirred the
entire town and created a great sensa-
ton. Miss Lovetree is Frustrated by
the rash deed of her lover and the
mother of the boy, who was in Chi
cago hospital at the time of the trag-
edy, is said to be in a very precarious
condition. The coroner held an in
quest this morning and found that the
young man committed suicide.
Both Prend1e and Miss Lovetree are
we'll known in this county and the sad
death of Prend1e will cause a great deal
Of regret among the young people re-
siding in the western part of the
county.

Wednesday Evening.
A LIFE FULL OF GOOD WORKS
Mrs. Barns Had Resided in Kenosha for
More Than Twenty Years-ghe Was
Daughter of One of Early Settlers.

Mrs. Ellen Miranda Barns, wife OF
Hosea Barns, and one of the best
known women of Kenosha, died on
Wednesday evening shortly after =
O'Clock at the family residence on
Julius street.
Mrs. Barns had been a sufferer from
heart disease for many years and i've
weeks ago she was forced to take to
her bed on account of an attack OF the
ma1ady. 1t was known that she was
very i'll, but the announcement OF her
death will come as a surprise to her
many friends in Kenosha. On Tues
day evening Mrs. Barns was taken
with a relapse and became unconscious.
She never regained consciousness ana
passed peacefully away Wednesday
evening.
The death of Mrs. Barns will cause
universal regret in all parts of the city.
The deceased was 81 years OF age ana
had lived most of her life IN the city
and county. She was a daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Se1ah Rogers and was
born on August 21st, 1889, at Wheel

located in the town of Somers, where
they resided until laid to rest few
years ago in the city cemetery.
For the last twenty years Mrs. barns
has made her home in Kenosha and
has taken a great deal of interest IN
the city. She has always been a lead
er in all works to better the people OF
Kenosha. AS an influential member
of the w. G. T. u. she has done many
things to advance the cause of tenn
perance in the city. She was one OF

Mrs, Barns was a member of the Order
of the Eastern Star in Kenosba and
was the first worthy matron of the or
der.
The deceased always took a great in
terest in all charitable and church
work, and no good cause was ever

her hearty cooperation. Her place
will indeed be a hard one to fill. The
sole surviving member of the family is
the husband, VINO will have the SYM
pathy of the entire city in this great
affection.

IT CAME TOO LATE.
Pension Examiners Find That George
Thompson Had Been Dead Two Months.


Old soldiers who fought and b1ed for
the preservation of the Union during
the war of the rebellion often have a
hard time securing pensions, owing to
the department at Washington being
so crowded with hundreds of applica-
looked into and worked out. Often
they die before their case is settled.
A case has just come to the ears OF
the News representative, and is one OF
the most interesting ever reported III
Southern Wisconsin.
George Thompson, when young
man, enlisted in Co. A., Ninety-ffth
Illinois, and served during the hottest
of the unp1easantness with the confed-
crates.
After the war he lived in Illinois and
then became a resident of Wilmot, ke-
nosha county. A long time ago he
applied for pension and the commits
sioners at Washington had his claim
under consideration.
Last week they reached it and wrote
DR.. F. r. Gar1ock, of the pension
board of Racine, to visit Mr.. InOmp-
son and make an examination of his
condition and report forthwith.
Wi1mot is one of the hardest towns
in the state to reach, but DR.. Gatlock
started out Monday for the home of
Mr.. Thompson. 1t was very difficult
trip, considering the conditions of the
highways.
After a long search the doctor
learned where the old soldier had been
stopping, but imagine the astonish-
ment of DR.. Gar1ock when he was in
formed by the friends of the soldier
that he had been dead two months.
The investigation developed that the
soldier was stricken with paralysis and
suffered much and that he had passed
to the great unknown on Oct. II and
was buried few days after.
The only thing for DR.. Gar1ock to do
was to come home and report to the
commission at Washington, who will
probably be as much surprised as he
was on account of the death of the sol
der. He was 20 years of age.
