Quick work was done by the De-
troit police in the direction of unrav
cling the mystery attending the two
horrible murders that have exasper-
ated the citizens of that city. Prof.
Joseph Miller, who was arrested on
suspicion of having killed Carrie NJ.
Jennett, broke down and confessed the
crime.
Miller's confession is an awful story
of impending disgrace and finally muir
der as means of averting it. He ad-
mitted that there had been illicit re-
lations between Miss Jennett and him
self for the past two years, and said
it was the result of these relations that
led him to kill her. The girl was in
delicate condition. She refused to go
to a lying-in hospital, as he wished
her to, and demanded that he abandon
his family and leave the city with her.
The night of the murder they met to
discuss her trouble and decide on some
action. Miller says that that after
noon he decided to kill her ii she re-
fused to do as he wished, and he there
fore carried a small Ratchet with him
to their rendezvous.
They met and walked out Thir
tenth street, talking it over, and fl
ualiy sat down on the sidewalk. MISS
Jennett renewed her demands that
Miller leave the city with ner. He says
he told her it was impossible, but she
still insisted. by that time 1 was

struck her.
When asked why he mutilated her
so Miller said he had no recollection
of anything after the first blow until
he found himself wiping the blood off
the hatcher on the grass in a vacant
lot.

A rancher living on a claim in the
woods near Astoria sent up to a friend
day or two ago to have a dozen bear
traps sent him. AS, on inquiry, it was
discovered that bear traps are quoted
at $140 per dozen, 1t was concluded to
send him Two for starter, as it is not
desirable that all the bears i'll the coun-
try should be caught at once, and the
price of bear skins and bear grease
run down to nothing. A fellow who
works IN a logging camp down near
the ranch of the bear killer says there
are no bears there, but the man has 4

Protest against the tree being cut
was offered by citizens of Thunderbolt,

however, was ignored, as the mayor OF
the town held that it was public do

have the tree removed to make way for

On an Ostrich Farm

Mr.. Johnson spent several years In

pense of $4,000. Half of the birds
died in two years and more were
brought from Abyssinia. A thousand

of ostriches had to be learned and it
cost lot of money. Mr.. johnson per-

ostriches during the last eight years
and has bettered his flock by adding
Nubian ostriches to it, When the first

of the prejudice of millinery buyers
