T7F woman ever had cause not to heed
the sentence that closes the mar
riage ceremony, tand those whom
God hath Joined together. let no man
part asunder.''' surely that woman is Mrs.
Bruce Crane.
Betrayed by her only child, a daughter
scarce II years old. and suffering the
most irreparable wrong at the hand Of
the man who had vowed he would love
and cherish her always, there is scarce
one who will censure her for crossing
the continent and seeking the separation
that was granted by the Dakota courts.
The life story of this hapless woman
is made up more Of tragedy than of ro-
nance. Her early life was all joy and
sunshine. Mans perfidy and a daughters s
unparalleled heartlessness in usurping
the mothers affections in the heart Of
her stepfather, have driven all brightness
from her life. And yet this woman is
comparatively young. She is still beau
tiful, and were not the heart dead, with
her talents and accomplishments she
could easily begin life over, and take the
place she once occupied.

She was a beautiful girl. with golden

just finished school, and had not reached
her 18th birthday when she was sent to
Buffalo to visit with friends. She was

because of the musical atmosphere that
exists there that SO many American dol
lars go abroad. Teachers there are in
plenty in the United States who can turn
out masters and mistresses Of the art,
but the advantages of continuous con-
certs, recitals, discussions and SO on are
lacking In this country. Admission to
these can be obtained at far less cost
than to musical affairs here. hence in the
end it costs no more to get musical
education abroad than in the land Of the
free.

No charity was complete without the par

invaded the happy home, and the happy
wife was left disconsolate widow. Her
only comfort was her beautiful daughter,

She had scarce turned II summers when

It was an ideal existence. Mrs. Brain

When John F. McDermott stood
hp before Judge Poindexter this
morning and entered plea of
guilty of murder in the second de-
gree he established a new record
for confession in the annals of this
county. Never before had a Spo-

BY his act McDermott places him

at least 10 years, the minimum SEN

to equalling McDermott's record of
confession was William Freundt,
who was charged with Staying Au-
gust Zaspel near Fort Wright on
the morning of November %, 1899.
Freundt was satisfied that Zaspel,
civilian employee of the govern

with Mrs. Freundt. He also felt
certain that Zaspel was the man
who had stolen a sum of money
Freundt had hidden in a slaughter
house near the army post. Freundt
was a butcher of beef and hogs,
but on the morning named he stood
behind tree in the woods near the
post and, armed with Winchester
rife, awaited the passing of Zaspel
on his way to his work. He potted
him as a poacher might trapped

Then Freundt moved the body a
distance from where it fell and COW

Aldrich, 1t is alleged, last Satur-

certain saloons, purchase a drink
for himself and then take a glass
of liquor out to the boys.
At the police station this morn
ing Aldrich stated that the boys
told him they were of age and he
believed them to be so. He was
