widow married Leopold Demay. To this
Euniou ethererwere- born six children, Will
lie, Mary, Frances, Anna, Henry and
Nellie. the Oldest, eighteen, the youngest,
four. All the Damay children ar, living
at home.
| At the time of her second marriage
Mrs. Demay was possessed of considerable
property. She has always been a good
manager and;is possessed Of great execu-
tive ability. Her children, one and all
are united in their love for her and in
paying tribute to the loving kindness with
which she has treated them. Those who
have had business relations with her say
she has always been the same of honor
and integrity.
Three years ago Mrs. Demay bought
the Russell farm in Goodrich township
for a consideration of SIS. 900 Her boys
worked the place and they have been
highly prosperous
Demay did not work in the fields of la e
years. He stayed about the house as
sisted at times, helped with the chores
kept garden and there seems to have
been no inhumanity that drove him to his
fearful deeds.
The bone of contention was howeve,
that the property was all in his wife's
name. He felt his dependence upon he,
although he always had money for all his
needs. He was not drunkard though he
drank occasionally. He had however E
violent and uncomfortable temper, when an.
gered he seemed simply beside himself
1t is told upon one occasion becoming an.
gered at a hog that was obstinate he bea1
the animal until it died. If there is any
extenuating circumstance it is that he wa:
badly overcome by beat year ago and
was under the doctors charge for some
time. There does not appear to be an,
I evidence however that his temper was any
more violent after than before this sick
ness
Our conclusion is that Demay was no
insane unless violent frenzy cf ange
may be called insanity.
Mrs. Demay and the entire family o
children have our deepest sympaty. 1
is tragedy that will darken all thei'
lives. They are bright, tender hearted in
tell gent children, they are united in
deep love for their mother and it is to b.
sincerely y hoped that she may recover t,
be the center of their home and happines
for many years to come.
| At the special request of the children
the REVIEW would herewith express thei
thanks and their grateful appreciation o
all the many kiudnesses shown them b,
their neighbors and friends during thci
great grief.

At the home the little girl rushed out to
give the alarm as soon as she saw her
father run from the place. The boys we're

b.en in the yard watering the horses were
at hand. with great presence of mind they
at once telephoned to their neighbors for
help and then to Denison for medical
aid To gether they lifted the unconscious

power to relieve her suffering 1t was a
terrible ordeal ior three young girls, the
Oldest fifteen, but they did their part
nobly. Mrs. ]. Ruberg, Mrs Boyens
and her daughter were the first to respond
to the call for help the whole neighbor-
hood was soon alarmed however and as
soon as physicians arrived the search for
Demay began. The physician found Mrs.
Demay in desperate condition. The
wounds had bled profusely, hoIe had
been knocked in the skull and a piece OF
the bone driven in against the brain
| One of the wonders Of modern surgery
was safely performed however, the skull
was trephined and through skill which
is worthy highest praise. Mrs. Demay's
life has probably been saved.
Sheriff Meehan had been notified of the
assault and he soon had a posse of 'orty
men searching for Demay. The search
extended to other towns and descriptions
were wired to the daily papers. The
searchers, IN fact, passed within few
I feet of Demay's body, but SO thick was
the underground that they failed to find
lit. 1t was not until Sunday that the body
was found in CHASTITY state after two
days exposure to THE extreme heat. A
coroners jury was summoned to identify
the body, and later, in the presence of the
undertaken and the coroner, the body was

On Friday morning the Demay hom e
il Goodrich township was the scene of one
of the most frighttul tragedies Crawford
County has ever known. Without warn
ing and evidently with premeditation
Leopold Denlay repeatedly struck his
wife on the. head and face inhicting cruel
wounds. Satisfied that the bloody deed
was completed and warning his little girl
not to give the alarm, he rushed from the
house and on Sunday his b!ackening re-
mains we're found hanging from an oak
tree in the middle Of thicket not a half
mile from tue scene of the attempted
murder.
For some time Demay had been dissat-
is6ed with his home life, The property
belonged to Mrs. Demay and he wished
to obtain portion of it. The matter mad
been discussed and for two weeks Demay
had not spoken kind word to the mother
of bis six children. On Friday morning
he telephonet r. Shaw Van of this city to
come out to his place as he wished TO see
him on business. When the attorney
arrived, Demay sought to get his wife to
E'e suit for divorce. This she refused
to do, saying ttlat she had no cause for it,
that her church, the Roman Catholic, was
opposed to divorce upon any but the most
serious charges and thati she applied for
divorce she would be forced to give him
portion of the property which belonged
to her and her children. Demay became
violent in his language and Mr.. Shaw
Van told him he must stop such talk and
let the place. After the attorney left the
! place Demay quieted down and there was
no more harsh language used. Evidently
however in the thirty minutes that tran
spired between the attorneys departure
aud the time of the crime. murder entered
Demay's heart. He quietly obtained the
hatchet and neither Mrs. Demay nor
her eleven year old daughter Anna knew
that he had it in his possession. On the
pretense that he wished to write letter
he sent Annie from the room to bring pen
and ink.
No sooner had the child left the room
than Demay must have struck the frs,
blow. Mrs. Demay was sitting with hel
back toward the writing desk and the first
blow was evidently given from behind
her and was on the skull, for she maue
no outcry save to moan Annie
Six times the crazed and infuriated mar
struck his bleeding and defenseless wife
One blow crushed through the skull. three
blows glanced, cutting deep gashes but no
penetrating the bone. two blows were
directed full in the face cutting deep
gashes In each cheek.
Annie returned from the bedroom il
time to see her mother lying across the
chair, blood pouring from her wound:
and forming pool upon the floor; with
cry the little girl rushed to the door
after her father who was leisurely leaving
the room. He turned upon her savagely
and told her that if she did not go bacl
he would kill her too. The frightened
child turned back and Demay ran through
the barnyard. He made for the hay
stacks and there secured rope. On the
farm is what is called "the Bronson forty"
part of tits low and swampy with thick
underbush and some timber. 1t was tc
this place that the desperate man ran

Bothering a Duelist.

Brantome, n French author, in "Duel-
ing Stories Of the Sixteenth Century,"
tells of the code then in vogue. 1t was
allowed i'll the challenge to %stipulate as
many different weapons as one pleas
ed without specifying the particular
ones with which one would actually
fight. The antagonist was bound to
provide himself with all. One duelist
insisted ION the provision of no less
than thirty different kinds of arma-
ment, for foot and horseback; nay, he
even specified the kind of horse
coursers, blood horses from Spain and
Turkey, thoroughbreds, cobs, some in
harness With ears and tail clipped,
some saddled In jennet style, some
with heavy plated armor and so one.

adversary by surprise, but to put him

nounces that he will make an examina-
ton of drugs, and will inspect such
stock thruout the state, in the heal flu
ture, with the object of an enforcement
of tho pure food law which was amend
ed to relate to certain drugs and pre-
p%aratlons, by the last session of the leg
islature. 1t is said that certain cures
offered for sale are heavily loaded with
cocaine and opium. Prof. Ladd states
that since the regulations enforced last
fall a better supply of pure liquors is
now sent to the state than ever before,
and that it is possible to get such articles
as pure blackberry brandy, and port
wine. The greatest offenders against the
law are the mail order houses. The
matter of impure paint will also be Civ
en- attention, as under the last law the
adulteration of paint is made a INSIDE
meanor. Prof Ladd says that most of
the white paint offered for sale in the
state contains chalk and clay, and is
mixed with mineral or fish oil instead of
being made of pure lead and zinc dis
solved in linseed oil.

The Horse Teaches the Man.

While there Is no royal road to learn
ing the game of polo in it's entirety,
there is a plebeian way that leads
straight to its secrets. Let the novice
get on an old broken down polo pony
that knows the game all the way
through from a lifetime Of playing.
Then the pony will play the game for
him and will be his teacher. The learn,
er will start in with a few strokes Of
his mallet till his seat and guidance
are assured and later his aim and
strength Of stroke, and gradually he
will work into regular play. Then, like
other faithful teachers, the wise old
horse will be superseded, but his work
will live.-Country Life In America.

A PECULIAR method has been adopted
by the packers comprising the so called
''beef trust TO create public sentiment
in their favor, or at least to stem the
torrent of adverse sentiment setting in
against them. The country newspapers
are in receipt of a letter from Lord &
Thomas, a large advertising agency of
Chicago calling attention to an editorial
enclosed which sets forth the packers
side of the case, and the editor is asked
to publish it or extracts from it, the let
ter closing with this adroit thrust; "We
are much interested in having correct in
formation published and conveyed to
the reading public, for the reason that
clients of ours, Messrs Armour & Com
pany, are large advertisers, and we wish
to encourage them to continue using
space in the publications of the country
How irresistible is such an argument,
and how valuable would be comments
actuated by the wish to get some of
Messrs. Armour & Company's advertis-
ing? The Peruna people are also at,
tempting to mould public sentiment in
North Dakota in favor of the repeal OF
the pure food law, by threatening to
withdraw their advertising patronage
from the state. All the country papers
of the state are expected to take the
hint and insist on more liberal laws for
the patent medicine advertisers. The
moulders of public opinion in North
Dakota will hardly be Influenced by this
threat, however, and it Is not likely that
the legislature will hold out the olive
branch to any for the patent medicine
houses.
