with whom he had been living for
some years, then for the first time we
learned that he had sunk to such q
level. There can be no excuse for his
crime, and he should be punished.
But we insist that In his drunken con-
dition-he had been drunk for days
he could not premeditate the act. He
was in such a physical and mental
condition that he must have been un-
able to effect design upon ones life,
and then, too, it appears that he was
madly in love with poor Dora and
there was no possible reason why he
should want to take her life. The
shooting was simply the effect Of the
bad whiskey on an excitable French
temperament.
81 admit he should be punished,
but for the sake of his poor little in.
nocent child I hope that the pardon1ng
board will send him to Saltwater fo1
life and not let her 90 into the world
with the stain of an executed father {
shame hanging ov er her all the days
of her life.

HERO OF The NORGE:
Martin Wedin's ThriIlinR
Rescue of His Little
Brother.

Martin Wedin, aged 10 years, saved
his little brother in the sinking of the
steamer Norge In the North Sea June
28th. The mother and six children
perished.
When the ship went down, accord
ing to information received by the
Office of the Scandinavian. American
Steamship company, Martin endeav-
ored to save the entire family. With
Herculean strength he fought his way
to the lifeboats, dragging his mother
and the children after him. Just as he
was about to jump into one of the
boats. every member of his family
was swept away from him in the mad
onrush of frantic people, and sll he
could do was to grab up his 4-year-
old brother, Thune. who had fallen to
the deck. and, with him in his arms
leaped into the boat that was just pull
ling off. He and the child were
crowded Into the stern of the boat
with several others. and it was with
extreme difficulty that they were able
to hang on.
He comforted the little one as best
he could, and through the long hours,
in the small boat, until the Cervent
picked up the boat containing the sur.
vivors, he olung to the little boy with
desperation.
Martin knew that his mother and
seven children had been swept under
by the mad :waters, yet the thought
Of his. little brother. the fathers favor.
ite, spurred him on.
The two Wedin children and ali
others saved will be brought to thif
country on board the steamship Sax.
ona Of the Cunard line, which left
Liverpool, July 5. They will arrive
in New York July II, if no accident
befalls them.
Mr.. Wedin is now in Elmdale with
relative, J. s. Borgstrom, and il

THOUGHT WOMAN WAS IN FIRE.
r8& HOME OF MRS. h. q. VAN
BUSKIRK BURNED TUESDAY
MORNING.

The house of Mrs. q. &. VanBus.
kirk, situated on Second avenue was
completely destroyed by fire Tuesday
morning about o'clock. When the
fire department arrived the building
was all ablaze. Mrs. Lachance,
daughter of Mrs. VanBuskirk,
thought that her mother was in the
mousse and in frantic appeals asked the
hremen to save her. As the house was
full OF smoke 1t was some tins before
anyone could venture In very far, but
as soon as the house could be entered
thorough search was made for the
woman even to going down cellar.
Mrs. Van Buskirk had been seen
aroundfthe premises some time before
the dra started and her people were
ANXIOUS as to her safety.
There seemed to be no trace of the
OLD LADY whatever after being seen in
the ya}h. About the time the fire was
practically out, little boy who hap
pened to look into chicken coop in
the next yard reported that he had
seen Mrs. XanBoskirk in there asleep.
On intestigation the old lady was
found there lying down with her head
on 9 pillow made of weeds and SEEM
ingly asleep. but probably 90 effected
from the excitement as to PROSTATE
her. She was aroused by her son-in-
law, Frank Laohance, and at once
exclaimed In excitement ''The kero-
sene can exploded and I couldn' t
holler, and I saved my money can,
and 90 went In here. The old lady
was taken out and put on a wagon
and taken to the home of her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Frank Lachance, on the
corner of second street and Fifth
avenue north. Mrs. VanBuskirk has
had much trouble in past years, and
Of late her mind has not been just
right. She was to have been taken
before the Judge of probate for exam
ination as to her sanity.
It was likely that the kerosene can
caught fire while Mrs. VanBuskirk
was making a fire. The money and
her bonnet were also found in the
chicken coop. and was returned to
her.
