Kills Wife; Surrenders.

Joseph Cane, farmer living near Eau
Gale, has shot and killed his wife. Game
is half-breed and the shooting is the
result of jealousy. He shot the woman
twice in the back while she was fleeing
from him. After the shooting he threat
ened the neighbors with his rifle when
they attempted to arrest him. Later he
started for Menominee to surrender to
the sheriff. Cane was brought before
Judge Flooring and pleaded not guilty.
The accused man is between 80 and 40
years old. About three years ago Mrs.
Cane took preliminary steps to get a
divorce, but proceedings were dropped.

Copyright. 1905, by Joseph B. Bowles.)
Some years ago while l was staying
at a small town in Michigan, a large
man travelling with his wife and young
son in fine carriage, took quarters at
the hotel. ~
During the several weeks he was
there, I never saw him speak a dozen
words to anyone, although he was
constantly in the hotel Office.
He smoked the choicest cigars, and
several of them day. Should the
landlord or any Of the guests address
him, they would be rewarded by a
mere grunt or monosyllable, and his
wife was equally reticent. Whether
he was grand duke in disguise, a
horse thief or a bank robber, no one
was able to guess.
Every afternoon his handsome team
and carriage were brought to the hotel
entrance, and he and his family would
take long ride into the country
After the silent man had been there
just week two strapping big men
called to see him Saturday evening
and remained until Monday morning.
Each carried what they called pat
