HER DROWNED boy

House-Hiis Mother. Frantic
With Grief, Tries to Plunge In.

Mrs. Matt Hansen, whose nineyear-
old son Clarence was drowned in the
Mississippi last evening, rushed to the
river bank, and, on being shown the
spot where the little fellow sank from
sight, became frenZied and attempted
to throw herself into the stream.
"Oh, Clarence, my darling son! Oh,
let me go! Let me go! / must follow
him! Oh cannot leave here! Oh, hor-
rible, horrible!" cried the frantic moth
er as she struggled In the grasp Of her
husband and F. H. Middleton.
1t took the combined strength of the
two men to prevent the grief-stricken
woman from leaping into the murky
water.
AS the dusk of evening fell there was
sad scene on the levee near the Mil
waukee freight house. The mother,
weeping on her husbands arm, Mr.
Hansen himself nearly overcome with
the shock, and their two daughters,
Cora and Lizzie, crying piteously and
calling out the name of their lost
brother. A great crowd of spectators
stood in mute sympathy and watched
the touching sight.
Finally the mother and sisters were
prevailed upon to enter hack, to be
taken to their home, 553 Waeouta

r LONDON, Aug. 10.-In spite Of the
almost universal opinion that Russia
will have no trouble in making hash
out of little Japan in the war which
experts here. have predicted for next
spring, advfces from Odessa, where
the Russian Black Sea fleet is about
to begin it's fifteenth annual maneu-
vers, indicates that a part, at least,
of the Muscovite navy is in bad way.
For fourteen years the Black Sea
squadron consisting of four first class
battleships, two cruisers, three torpedo
cruisers and half a dozen torpedo
boats of ancient pattern, has carried
out exactly the same programme year
after year, allowing the officers and
crews no opportunity to become eff
cient in up-to-date drills.
Worse yet is the reported condi-
ton of the fleet The Rostislaf, flag
ship of Rear Admiral Krieger, is said
to be fitted with second hand boilers
installed by enterprising individuals
in Sebastopol who made their coun-
try's loss their own gain. and it is
generally understood that for other
reasons also, the Rostislaf would not
last through a severe engagement. The
Katherine IL, another of the first class
battleships, is said to be so frail that
only half blank cartridges are allowed
to be used in the salutes which the
vessel occasionally is called upon to
fire.
The third of the battleships is de-
clared by experts to be unequal to the
strain of discharging her heavy ord
nance, and the fourth is almost as
feeble. One of the cruisers also is
defective.

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio, Aug. 10.-R.
L. Holman, business manager of the
Ohio State Grange. is authority for the
statement that the national organiza-
tion is laying plans to organize it's
farmer members for the purpose of.
having them hold their grain for bet
ter prices.
The feeling is strong among the
Changers of this section that the prices
are being held down by spectators,
and that owing to the poor crops re-
ported from all over the country, the
supply is going to be short and prices
should logically be higher. The idea
is that dollar wheat and seventy five
cent corn are easily within the reach
of the farmers If they can be properly

SHERIFF INVESTIGATING
Envelopes Bear Name of Fred

in Town Knows Such Person

]. A. Filcher commissioner to the
81. Louis Exposition, made a find while
visiting his old home at Auburn last
Saturday that forms the foundation OF
a mystery now receiving the attention
of the Sheriff and other peace officers
of Placer County. Mr.. Flicker found
on a trail articles that point to the
disappearance of a man by the name
of Frederick Henrietta. This name was
found on letters in some clothing that,
together with a telescope basket, lay
on the trail.
Filcher was going along the trail,
which is unused and lies not more than
half a mile from Auburn. He was in
search of a spring that was cnce Ia
nous, it's waters being credited with
the power to restore hair to bald heads.
AS he walked, talking with his brother,
who accompanied him on his Jaunt, he
saw before him the telescope basket,
in which there were several articles or
clothing, moIdy with long tying Among
the articles were several shirts that
had on them the imprint Of the Ex-
celsior laundry in Oakland. A pair or
trousers was found. with the creases
in them and looking unwOru. There
were also a pair OF sleeve buttons and
some other trinkets. Frther down the
All the clothing was in fair condition
and the inference was that the owner
thereof was in comfortable clrcum-
stances. But where was he?
Mr. Filcher went directly back to
Auburn and notified the Sheriff and
the Coroner Of what he had seen. A
party OF men was organized and the
entire country in that section. was ex-
amined as closely as the density OF
the foliage would permit, but no trace
of Henrietta was discovered.
One of the letters was addressed to
Henrietta. This had been written by
his mother and in it was expressed sOr-
row that Henrietta and his brother had
parted. In another letter Il was dis
covered that the brother, George Hen
rietta, was in Montana. The letters
were taken to the Coronet's Office.
Filcher has no theory concerning the
fate of Henrietta. He told the story
yesterday on his return from Auburn.
Henrietta was unknown IN Auburn.
