The story OF the killing OF Miss Fos-
burg. as told by the family Immediately
afterwards, was TO the effect that she was
shot by burglars. The theory OF the
state officials Is that the affair was the
result of a sudden and terrific family
quarrel. IN which young Fosburg, using
his own revolver, shot his sister, although
intending the bullet for some one else.
While the burden of gathering evidence
10 prove their charge rested upon the
state. and for months detectives were
working in this connection, the defence
has been by no means idle, even though
much OF the evidence discovered immedi-
ately after the shooting seemed strong
ly TO support the Fosburg side OF the
case. The untiring energy of loyal and
devoted mother, and the wealth. or the

THE WIRE GANG.
This ouest at one time seemed TO have
resulted happily for tho friends of young
Fosburg. A gang OF four men were
caught in this state for the alleged whole
sale theft of copper wire tIOH street Car
barns and electric light stations, and one
of the number confessed that they were
near Pittsfield at the time Miss Fosburg
was killed.
one OF the thieves. named Quinn, es-
caped arrest with the quartetAfte many
interviews with the four prisoners, the
members OF the Fosburg family became
convinced that Quinn was the one who
shot the young woman.
on the other hand the prosecution
claims that they have run down every
movement OF the gang and had proved
that none of them could have been con-
nected with the Fosburg crime.
The government has not been sparing
in expense. nor has IL wearled In collect

has already provided for an additional

which seems destined TO live long IN its
criminal annals.

wa rds were offered not only by the local
but by the Fosburgh family,

SAD CASE OF SUICIDE.
Theodore Huber of this City Takes His
Life at OcOnomOwOc SanatOrium.

The entire community of WatertoWn
was greatly shocked on Tuesday morn
ing Of this week on learning of the trag-
ic death Of Theodore Huber, at Sanat tori
nm Waldheim, near OcOnOmoWOc Mr..
Huber had been in very poor health for
some time, suffering from nervous pr s.
tratl0n, and had gone to DIR. Voje's SaLa-
forum for medical treatment. On Mon
day evening he went to OcOnOmowoc to
get shaved, and in some way managed
to elude his attendant. On discovering
his absence search was made, bnt he was
not found until the following morning,
when his lifeless body was found hang
ing in the gymnasium at the SanatOri-
um grounds. Word was sent to 0cOnO-
mowoc by telephone, and Deputy Sheriff
Hlldebrand went out and took charge of
the body. An inquest was begun before
Justice ". A. Lacy at Okauchee, but was
adjourned over until F'riday-the body
in the meantime having been sent to
this city for burial.

business men of this city. He was born
in Ingenheim, Alsace, June 6, 1843, and
came to America when II years of age.

man of sterling integrity, and his home
life was most exemplary. He was a

also Of the Masonic fraternity. His sur
viying family consists of his widow and
five children Mrs. Fred. A. Hoffman,
Laura and Myrtle Huber and Max and

BUILDING MANY PIERS.
Watertown Man Supervising Work on
the Mississippi River.

Owen Hughes Of this city has been
for several months in charge of the pier
work for the new bridge at La Crosse
which is to be put in by the Milwaukee
road. In speaking of the work a La
Crosse paper says:
1.-TWO crews of siXty-eight men each
are busily engaged in doing the concrete
work, which consists of building great
piers averaging 10 yards each. These
piers take the place of hundreds Of piles
which were driven years ago and which
supported the trestle between the Black
river draw bringG and the Mississippi.
twenty-five Of these concrete piers are
under construction. When finished
there will be no trestle works between
Black river and La Crescent. The new
improved plate girders will be used
which practically does away with the
piles heretofore used.
Mr.. Hughes informed the reporter also
that the old spans at East Channel will
be taken down this winter and replaced
with modern iron structure The draw
on the main channel Of the Mississippi
river he says, will be taken down also.
when the river is frozen over and replaced
with perhaps the finest draw bridge on the
whole Mississippi river. This draw will
be the same length and width and run
by steam, as the present structure is
operated. Then. the rest of the iron
work will be taken down and it also re-
placed with a modern new structure
To see the cencrete crew at work is a
great sight and the men in charge are
entertaining many visitors each day
whose curiosity has prompted them to
make the long journey over the proposed
improvements. Mr.. Hughes is a jolly.

FRANCE CELTIC OR LArIN7
Argument of EngIishman That An
pears to Admit of No Dis
putatiOn.

An Englishman, writing to the ed
i:or of London Spectator, says:
In connection with the recent visit
of the Italian feet to Toulon there
have been many references in the Eu-
ropean press to a renewal of the en-
tente cordiale between two Latin ma
tions. 1t may be of some interest to
inquire in what sense the term Latin
can be correctly applied to the French,
whom, almost in the same breath,
many people are apt to describe as
Celtic people. One thing surely is
certain, that in blood the French can
not be at the same time both Latin
and Celtic Yet the inconsistency
does not seem to strike people.
Il think that, although outside
Provence the French have little OF no
Latin. e., Italian-blood in their
veins, the explanation of their being
described as a Latin race is to be
found in the fact that their language
and civilization are both Latin. 1t
seems no longer permissible to hold
that the French are mainly Celtic in
blood, the view being now generally
accepted that the bulk of the popula-
tion in France is of pre-Celtic, and
probably of Iberian or Ligurian, stock.
And this view seems to hold good also

WHY NEGROES DIE YOUNG.
Causes That Contribute to the Large
Death Rate Among CoIored
People.

The American Missionary associa-
ton makes public d report from one of
its representatives in Nashville, Tenn,
concerning the death rate among the
Ne SroeS of the south. The report
states that in ten re preventative south
ern cities for the past five years the
death rate of the whites has been 20 in
1000; that of the colored people, 30 in
1.C00. The south is said not to have
shown much concern about the rapid
increase of the negro, since the census
of 1900 made it appear that in the ten
years previous the black race in
creased 1924 per cent. and white 1891
per cent. The death rate of the negro
is greatest under the age of Is and
least at the higher ages. The race is
subject to a higher death rate. than the
whites from the following diseases:
1. Consumption 1t all ages, but espe-
cially between the ages of Is and 45.
2. All diseases of infants. The col
ored mother too often does not know
how to take care of her infant.
3. Pneumonia at all ages.
4. Scrofula and contagious diseasea
seem also on the increase.
