Il Is Known That He Had consid-

Frank j. Cooper, the young white
man who was picked up by the po-
lice Thursday night and Who was
thought to have nothing worse ailing
HIM than plain drunk, died Friday
afternoon about i O'Clock at his home
on West Barraque street and some

his home an examination by physi-
clan revealed the fact that the youn5
man had a large lump behind one
ear as though he had been struck

the skull was fractured. Cooper was
known to indulge heavily at times in
'htoxicants, and this led Night CHIEF
Peterson to pay but little attention tO
Cooper when he was taken to the po-
lice station. Not wanting to lock the
fellow up, Mr.. Peterson let him sleep

Mr.. Peterson thought he was sleeping.
but when Judge Toney arrived next
morning he saw that the man was no;
|only drunk. but that he had been hurt.
Judge Toney thought this hurt came
from fall but summoned a carriage
and had cooper sent home. The sug-
gestiOn of foul play comes from the
fact that Cooper is known to have had
considerable money. II is rot known
how much he spent. but the officers

part of it. Cooper was we'll known

to follow on the theory Of murder.

HORRIBLE DEATH
LITTLE FELIX MATTHEWS is
CRUSHED TO DEATH BY
HEAVY WAGON.
Wheel of the Wagon Had to Be Re
moved in Order to Release the
Mangled Body.

Right before the eyes of the ago
nized mother. who was powerless to
help the little fellow, Felix Matthews,
the eight-year-old son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
T.. G.. Matthews, was ground to death
beneath the wheels Of the big wood
wagon of the Sawyer and Austin Lunl-
Der company Friday afternoon. The
little fellow, with a companion named
Ray, was riding home on the big
wood wagon, and just as he came op-
posito his fathers house at Sixth and
Linden streets, the little fellow at
tempted to slide down off the wagon.
Ic some way his left foot caught in
ono of the spokes of the wheel and
the boys body was slowly swung
around the wheel. The foot held fast
and the boys body caught on the
wagon bed His left leg was drawn
clear from the body and a part OF
tie abdomen and side were torn out.
The left leg was also broken just be-
low the thigh. Mrs. Matthews, who
had been down in the city shopping,
drove up to her home just in time to
see her boy ground to death. The
driver of the wood wagon did not
know that the boy was caught and
drove his wagon On until the other
little boy ran around to the front and
asked him to stop. It was too late
to help the suffering little fellow in
any way.
Motorman Mahle. who was running
a car on the line, saw the accident and
vas the first to reach the boy. Mahle
sent his car On in charge OF the con-
ductor and he worked heroically to
get the little fellow out and relieve
his sufferines. The boys body was
on terrible strain all the time he
was held under the wheel and he
groaned pitifully until he tainted from
the intense pain. Mr.. Mahle had 10
take the wheel off the wagon
to release the body Then, picking
the unconscious lad up in his arms, ne
carried him into the house. Physicians
were hastily summoned and worked
hard to save the boy, but the injuries
proved fatal, and about O'Clock ne
died. Mrs. Matthews was nearly pros
trated with grief and had to be helpe1
into the house. Mr.. Matthews was
iu Et Dorado on business, but was
telegraphed Immediately and left al
once for his home.
The driver of the wood wagon can
not be blamed for the accident. as ne
did not see the boy until after he
stopped the wagon.
The funeral will be held from the
family residence at Sixth avenue and
Linden streets Sunday morning at
1890 O'Clock. Rev. Percy G. Cross
will officiate.

Glazed Butter in GERMANY

German papers state that it has long

be glazed by the use of sugar; that IS.
1t can be coated with a glasslike sugar
covering. This method, the papers state.
seems to become of some importance
as 1t recently has been used on a large
scale in England for butter sold, IN
forms. One journal calls attention TO
the usefulness OF this innovation and
says that butter so treated keeps fresh
for a longer time than If not treated
1t is first carefully kneaded and
washed, then put into forms weighing
one pound each. and placed in a cool
room. The glazing is done by painting
the surface with hot sugar solution
The brush used should be very soft
and the painting should be done quick

face of the butter. and the sugar and
melted butter form sort of varnisb.

milk have made hundreds and even
thousands of tests of milk during a
short time and have found extreme va

made some hundreds OF tests. AT one
experimental farm he tested 700 sam
pies OF milk. The average results as to

The causes for this great variation
are little known, and we have not vet
