A MYSTERIOUS DEATH

With a bullet through his left breast
near his heart Michael Fraley was found
dead on the farm of John McKeown, by
whom he was employed, two miles from
Newark Wednesday morning. A few
feet from him lay rife, which had
been discharged. 1t is supposed that the
weapon was accidentally discharged in
falling and that the bullet struck Fraley.
1t is a mysterious affair, however, and
nobody has been found who witnessed
the death OF Fraiey. Beyond being re-
ported to Deputy Coroner Kilmer, it has
not been Investigated by the authorities.
Fraley left the farmhouse to kill cat
that had been eating chickens in the
flock, taking the rife with him. He
could not kill the cat but intended to
leave the rife in the barn. He was
found sometime later with the rifle few
feet away. He had fallen in the door,
way of the barn. His watch any other
articles we're undisturbed when the body
was found.

Beauty Spots of America, supplemented
oy motion pictures and song. Mr.. and
MRS. Lincoln have won for themselves an
envlable reputation in the lecture and
entertainment field during the past twelve
years, their work being received with
greater enthusiasm each season. His
observations en- route crystallized into
artistic illustrations, appropriate Motion
PICTURES, and graphic speech have made
many an unfamiliar land yividly familiar
to his auditors; while Mrs. Lincoln,
pianist and vocalist, forms an important
auxiliary to the charm of his work. 1t is
the conconsus OF opinion among critics
that their illustrations excel all others
IN photography and nature color. MIR.
Llncoln's negatives were made for him
by the best landscape photographer in
America, and the coloring of his slides
from the brush OF master hand, while
they are put upon the canvas with con-
summate skill, which comes only with
years OF professional experience. This
quintet OF arts, combined with Mrs. Lin
coins accomplishments, enables them 10
render program distinctively superior.
