PRAISE FOR WISCONSIN MEN
Colonel Wagner Says They Kept
Their Camp in the Finest SAM
tary Condition

Westpoint, KY, Oct. 12.-After ten
days of vigorous hiking and hot
work on the firing line the national
guardsmen who have been engaged in
the combined maneuvers, receiving in
structions with the regulars in battle
formations, started for home. The first
to leave camp were the Michigan
troops. Wisconsin did not get away un-
til late in the afternoon. The regulars
will remain until October 16. The chief
points brought out by the maneuvers,
according to Colonel Wagner, one Of
the best known modern writer's, Is the
necessity for national guard regiments
to give greater attention to skirmish
and extended order drill, while they
are at their home stations.
The First Wisconsin was mentioned
as having evidently profited by the
skirmish drill at home. This regiment
was also complimented on having main
tanned the camp here in almost perfect
sanitary condition. Wagner suggests
increased attention be given target
practice.

Cured at a sanitarium here Thursday,
secret, the coroner has ordered rigid
investigation. Kohn, accompanied by
a young woman who claims they were
secretly married at Beulah, Wis, last
May, arrived from the East Monday,
stopping at the Palace motel. Thursday

dead at midnight, in bed besides his
wife. His widow, who says her maiden
name was Edith Webb and her home in
Kentucky, has gone East with the al
legged purpose of avoiding publicity. The
physicians who attended Kohn say the
latter died from natural causes, but the
secretiveness displayed by the widow
and others who attended him has caus-
