HAD BEEN DEAD FIVE DAYS.
How the Suspect Acted Before He
Shot Himself.

RICEVILLE, iowa, Sept 6.-The
dead body of William Bartholin was
found Friday evening in a field six
miles southeast of Riceville. There is
every proof that he killed himself last
Sunday night.
Bartholin came here the first week
in August, presumably from Chicago,
and worked on : the Chicago Great
Western road. After half days work
he went into the country and secured
employment on the HigginSon farm
and remained theAe three weeks, after
which he went to the Huss farm and
stayed three days, returning to Rice
vile the night he is supposed to have
shot himself, and slept at the Hotel
Wilkes. He had his breakfast taken
up to his room, and remained in bed
all the forenoon.
Upon arising he avoided entering
the dining room. He seemed troubled
and was very quiet. Later he went
down the track about six miles, and
was met on the road by ]. eastman
with whom he talked for some time
and agreed to help eastman stack
grain the next day. The spot Wnere
the two men met was ABOUT ninety
yards from where the body was 1ound.
The tragedy is thought to have occur
red shortly after Bartholin left CASH
man.
The body was discovered by Joe
Pratt. He was driving along the ROAD
and saw the body lying on shock OF
flax about twenty rods from the road
way. 1t had the: appearance OF
drunken man, with legs stretched out
and crossed.

dorf parade field, near Frankfort, on

ed. Gen. Corbin was presented first.
The emperor welcomed him most cor
daily. Among his majesty's first
words were hearty thanks for the at
tentions shown to Prince Henry dur
ing the latters visit to the United
States. After further conversation,
Emperor William presented Gen. Cor
bin to the empress. While Gen. Cor
bin was conversing with her majesty
the other American generals were pre-
scented to the emperor.
The whole scene was impressive.
Emperor William was mounted on an
iron gray horse, which many Amer1-
cans who have visited the parades on
the Templehof field here have admired
for it's statuesque poses as the troops
filed past his majesty, and the Amer1-
can generals were mounted on fine
bays from the emperor'S stable. While
the introductionS were taking place
the German officers assembled in the
vicinity to hear the emperor criticise
the performance of their respective
troops during the parade.
Additional splendor was added to the
scene by the presence of Lord Roberts,
Mr.. Brodrick, the British secretary of
state for war; and party in brilliant
British uniforms who had been pre-
scented before the American generals.
Emperor William invited all the
American generals with their aides and

his American trip and the friends he
has made in the United States. He
expressed his purpose to visit the
United States again after his naval
service is completed but more pri-
vately than on the occasion of his first

ity to study the country and it's peo-
pie.

CHILD is POISONED
MOSQUITO BITE ENDANGERs
LIFE OF LITTLE GER
TIE KLOS
ARM QUICKLY SMELLS TO
TWICE ITS NORMAL SIZE
Member in Danger of Amputation, and
: Child Is Severely III-Physician De-
clares Her Condition Is Due to
Scratching the Sting.

Little Gertie Klos was bitten by
mischievous mosquito last Sunday
night, and may lose her left arm as a.
result of the sting. She scratched the
bite, and blood poisoning set in and
the infected arm is now twice it's nor
NAL size. Besides suffering from the
Inflammation caused by the bite, Ger
ties arm is also sore from vaccination.
Little Miss Klos, who is thirteen
years Of age, lives at 351 University
avenue A week ago mosquito bit her.
In the morning the bite was some
what swollen, and itched awfully. The
little girl scratched it and soon>it be-
gan to swell.
Blood Poisoning Develops.
ut didn't hurt me much until
Thursday" said Gertie last night.
Then it began to hurt, and soon after
mamma found it was liberated. She
tried poulticing it, but it continued to
swell and the pain got ever so much
worse.
Friday a doctor came into our
that had better have 1t attended to
at once, so yesterday mamma sent me
down to DR.. Cooks office.
"My vaccination commenced to work
and the two together make my arm
very sore. The doctor told me that If
l keep very quite I may be able to at
tend school next week. You know I
want to go so badly"
Mrs. G. M. Klos, the girls mother,
was not at home last night. A rela-
tive said that the doctors who examin-
ed the arm say that it will probably
be necessary to amputate 1T.
Home Treatment Fails.
''The physician who examined 1t
first" said the girls aunt, Thought
the inflammation was due to the vac
cination, but DR.. Cook SAID yesterday
that it was all caused by scratching
the mosquito bite.
I'VE did not pay much attention to
the arm until it began to ulcerate
Thursday Then Mrs. Klos poulticed it
and bathed the sore every little while.
But the treatment seemed to accom-
plish but little. The arm continued to
swell, and this morning was nearly
twice it's usual size.
ITO add to the little girls misery
she feels very sick, and can hold Moth
ing on her stomach. 1t is all due to
the poisoning, and we hope that the
medicine the doctor gave her will do
some good. We tried all the home rem
edies, but none seems to give relief"
Hopes to Save Arm.
DIR. Cook said yesterday that the in
f1ammation was due entirely to pois-
oning the mosquito bite by the little
girl scratching it with her finger nails.
Said DR.. Cook: eff the arm is at
tended to properly l do not think 1T
will be necessary to amputate 1t, but
you can never tell how blood poisoning
is going 70 act However, l look for
favorable results in this case. The
vaccination has nothing whatever to
do with the Inflammation.

TWO MEN HELD UP,
ONE ROBBER ARRESTED
Highwayman Fights Successfully With
Policeman for Freedom, But Com
panion Is Held.

Policeman Frank Bloneck made a
sensational capture of a bold hold-up
man at Grove and Thirteenth streets
early this morning. The man was one
of three who perpetrated two hold-ups
between II and II o'clock last night
Bloneck caught two of the men as
they ran from an alley opening on
. Thirteenth street, but one landed a
heavy blow on his jaw and escaped.
The man arrested claims to be John
Wilson and admitted to Chief OConnor
that he was implicated in both rob-
berries.
The first robbery occurred about IL
o'clock, when William o. Squires was
stopped by three men on Pleasant
street near Chestnut. Two forced a
revolver before his face while the third
searched his clothes. They then or
dered him to walk straight ahead and
not say anything of the holdup.
The holdup men secured So in cash
from Squires and gold watch.
Henry Bamment was relieved Of his
cash by the same gang on Central ter
race between Thirteenth and Four
teenth streets at 1920 o'clock.
The men surrounded him and the
same two that made the revolver play
on Squires repeated the trick. Batl-
ment moved as if to resist, and one
Of the men hit him over the head with
the revolver, infiicting a severe wound.
At the Central police station this
morning Bamment identified a watch
found on Wilson as the one taken from
him. He also claimed an old Norwegian
OF hot Ia tod 70
a number of years.
Wilson confessed to Chief O'Connor
that he was implicated. in, the hold-up,
but denies having made the revolver
play. Bamment saws that he is one Of
the men who used the revolver.
Up to 2:30 the other hold-up men had
not been apprehended but the police
have their names ard feel confident
that they will land The men today. AS
far as is known the men are all stran-
gers in the city.
The. men who escaped are. known to
be desperate chaIRe and it is be-
lieved they are criminals whose cap
ture will be important. They are
thought to be experienced at the high
way robbery business, as they carried
two revolvers each and went about
their work like experts.
Their names were learned soon after
the search for them began and Chief
O'Connor, who went out personally to
superintend the pursuit, declared he
would have them behind the bars be-
fore daylight.
The two who escaped are describ-
ed as twenty-five or twenty six years
old and five feet, six or seven inches
tall. Both were smooth shaver, one
being dark and the other very fair.
The dark man wore a shirt bearing
wide red stripes and the other wore a
black shirt.

NOT GOOD HOUSES FOR
NERVOUS PEOPLE TO OCCUPY
Twenty Acres of Ground Over Mine
Gave In in a PENNSYLVANIA Town.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Sept. 6.-Nearly
mine at Dorranceton caved in tonight
causing considerable excitement in the
neighborhood. The foundations of some
of the mansions on Wyoming street are
badly cracked. Large assures are also
to be seen in the roadway. A further col
lapse is expected, and men have been
placed on guard to give the alarm should
the earth sink still fuSther.
The sinking of the earth is due to the
fact, so it is said, that the mine has not
been in operation since. the strike, al
lowing water to accumulate in the work
ings in large quantities. Timbers rotted
away and the roof in many places fell in.
Pillars also gave way and this weakened
the surface. The loss to property on the
surface will amount to thousands of dol
lars.

found in the suicides pockets.
Nothing was said of the death of his
mother, Mrs. Anna Bartholin. who was
found buried in the basement of the
residence at 1910 Calumat avenue near
ly three weeks after the son had fled.
Nither was any direct reference made
to Minnie Mitchell. The letter simply
said that 1.-TWO women, had been MUIR
dered.
Found in Flax Field.
The body was found in a flax field
six miles from Riceville. The discov
cry was at once reported to the town
authorities and the body was removed
to Riceville. There it was recognized
as that of a man who had been in the
locality for some time. "A number of
persons recalled that the stranger had
been seen around the town for several
days. To some who had talked to him
he had given the name Of William"
To others he had said that he was
William Boscoe. At n hotel he had
registered as "EdWSsds." He disap-
peared week ago today, and it is pre-
sumed it was then that he took his life
in despair of eluding the police and in
terror of being captured.
The town authorities at once nbticed
the resemblance the body bore to the
description of the Chicago fugitive
which Inspector Hunt. of Chicago, had
sent to every town within 800 miles Of
Chicago. 1t was then that a more care
full examination was made Of the body
was found.
Body to Be Exhumed.
The town authorities buried the body,
but it will be exhumed to remove any
doubt that may be raised as to the
identity of the suicide.
The note found on the body referred
to the two murders in Chicago and de-
clared that no one except the writer
was concerned in the commission Of
the crimes. The note filled one and a
half pages Of ordinary letter paper and
was signed william Bartholin." The
letters found on the body were signed
I'M. NJ" The initials are supposed to
stand for Minnie Mitchell.
The body itself furnishes several
points which are similar to those, in
the amended police description of Bar
tholin, issued Aug. IS. Chief of these
is the upper false teeth.
Officers Sent to Iowa.
Unable to receive any official infor-
nation from Riceville concerning the
body, Chief of Police O'Neill tonight
decided to send two officers to the
scene of the suicide. The officers Sc
lected to go were both personally &C
quainted with Bartholin, and in case
the body is that of the murderer they
will have no trouble in establishing his
identity. The detectives left Chicago at
II o'clock, accompanied by Robert
Mitchell, brother of the murdered girl.

home with her for many years prior to
his death and that just before he died he
left the stocks in her hands with the un-
derstanding that she was TO have half of

ing his illness. Most of the other per
sonal property which consists of iewery
and other valuables were given outright
to the Thurmans, Mrs. Thurman AYERS.
Mrs. Hard is school teacher in To-
