Woman's Death.
Neso Tork Sun Special Servtce
New York, Feb. 1.-THE police have not
succeeded in getting their hands on Henry
Macomber, the former mail driver who is
wanted to explain the death of his mis-
tress, Minnie Clark, formerly of Mime
sofa, who was found dead in their base
ment room in Chrystie street, Saturday
night, with her throat cut. Captain Titus
of the detective bureau said that the long
err Macomber stayed away the worse 1t
made the case against him, even II 1t
turned out to be only suicide. Every place
in this city which Macomber was wont to
frequent has been searched for him, but
IL vain. ~ ..-..
Macomber himself gave the news of the
'WOman's death, went into BoWery dive,
Saturday morning, very much excited, and
told friend that he had been home and
found "Minnie' dead. The friend asked
him if he had told the janitor, and Ma
comber. replied I'D rather blow my
brains out than tell the janitor anything
about this" Then 1.-THE friend told the
police. He did not know where Macem-
Der lived, so the detectives had to hunt
up and down the East Side before they
found the body. Captain Titus says that
he is by no means satisfied Of Macomber's
innocence and won't be until he has talked
with the man himself. The woman's body
lies at the morgue No one has even called
to see it,. District Attorney Jerome has
assigned an assistant district attorney to

in Prison.

life that seemingly had brought
naught but sorrow and shame to others
ended in wretched basement room in
New York within the week, when Mrs.
Minnie Clark met death by the knife.
Parents bowed by disgrace and sorrow
young man led to theft sent to prison
and finally impelled to suicide, one family
left fatherless and another family left
worse than motherless-these are the
features of the woman's Minnesota record
made before she fully abandoned herself
to life of vice. Il,
Minnie Clark was known in Minneapolis
as Minnie Frost. She came to Minneapo-
lis in 1889, having deserted her husband
and strained parental devotion almost to
the breaking point. While even then
we'll on the downward path, she retained
some Of the tastes other early home, for
she made pretense of responsibility. In
some way she secured admission as a
student to the Bennett seminary, select
school for girls at Tenth street and Park
avenue, and great was the scandal which
ensued when the source Of her income was
learned
Leo Heilpern, young Russian whose
wife and family were still across the
water, became enamored of the girl.
Their association was continuous, and
while at first she did not appear to
have much money, people soon marveled
at her lavish expenditures. She spared
no expense in fitting out her apartments,
drove extremely swell turnouts, wore
luxurious jewels and caused other women
at the theaters to envy her inimitably
gorgeous gowns. Heilpern being about
the only person who was with her, and
having only salary of 81 900 year from
the Columbia Milling company, he was
suspected and an expert accountant
found his books short $50, OO0 He was
arrested in Mexico, tried and convicted.
Saltwater penitentiary. Creditors claimed
and secured almost all of the propertey in
the hands of Miss Frost, and the woman
was forced to leave the city. She drifted
to New York and threw away the mask OF
quasirespectability
Heilpern, after the expiration of his
sentence, returned to Minneapolis, and
later located in a small town in southern
Minnesota One day it was discovered
that he was $500 short in his accounts, and
he was arrested again. Not desiring to
face another trial and probably incur an
other prison sentence, he committed sui
eide by shooting himself through the head.

JUST ENOUGH SNOW
Best Season Loggers Have Known
for Years.
'Gs ALREADY AT LANDINGS
The Season Has Been BETTER Than II
There Had Been Heavy
SHOWS.

It is a popular belief that lack of snow
is serious handicap to lumber operations
in the northern woods AS matter OF
fact, nothing pleases the lumberman more
than light snowfall. AS very little
snow has fallen this winter MINNEAPOLIS
lumbermen are unusually jubilant
Secretary Rhodes Of the Mississippi
Valley Lumbermen's association, says the
present season has been the most success
full the lumbermen have had in many
years. "This is directly DUE" he ex-
planned, "to the fact that there has been
little snow. Now, little snow is all
right; it is welcomed by lumbermen be-
cause it helps little with the runners
and at the same time it does not impede
traffic. 1t is hard to handle logs with a
heavy fall Ice roads have entirely
taken the place of snow for runners, and
it makes little difference with the lumber
men whether there is any snow in the
woods at all. When the first snow fall
comes the transfers make preliminary
trip over the lumber roads to beat a track.
The sprinkling cart follows and leaves
an ice coating which transforms the
tracks into permanent slots for the run
ners.~ The runners fit into the tracks like
a wheel to car rail. and the huge
loads glide along the roads with little tax
on the teams. The only thing the lumber
men fear now is warm weather, which
sometimes melts the ice and interferes
with hauling.
THE cold spell has been so long that
most Of the lumbermen have their logs
at the landings already. The outlook for
a big cut at the mills is most en-
couraging There will be more than
enough white pine on the market this
spring to make up for the present short
age"
Henry E. Gipson Of the Scanlon-Gipso
Lumber company predicts an unusually
large cut. ,Lumbermen in the Cass Lake
district, who were little behind In their
haul on account of poor roads, have
caught up with the procession, and there
will be NO delay in handling the logs and
forwarding them to market

HEAD ON COLLISION.
Three People Killed and Many Badly
Injured Near Norfolk, Va.

Norfolk, Va, Aug 25.-In a head-on
collision between two cars on the Bay
Shore Terminal line late Sunday three
people were killed and many others
badly injured.
The accident occurred about three
and One-half miles from Norfolk One
car was coming from Ocean View and
the other going to the View. The or
ders were that the south-bound car
should wait at the siding for the other.
Motorman w. S. Yandall failed to obey
the orders and the crash came 400
yards beyond the siding. Yandall en-
deavored to jump, but was crushed
in the telescoped cars. MotQrman c..
D. Golden, of the other car, applied
his air brakes as soon as he saw the
danger, the collision occurring on
curve, and then tried to jump, as did
Linwood Fentress, son of R. B. Fen
tress, president of the Norfolk Cold
Storage & Ice Co. Both Golden and
Young Fentress were caught under
the platform Of the shore-bound car,
which piled upon the other, and were
killed outright. Both cars were full
of Sunday excursionists and few es-
capped injury.
