ESSLER DIES AT IO7
His Life Crowded Full of Strange
Adventures

Special to The Globe
PRAIRIE DU CHEN, Wis, April 1S.
Henry Essler, aged 107, of the village of
Newton, is dead at the home of his
daughter. He was remarkable in that
up to within the past year his hands
were steadier than those of the average
man at 20. He had worn out two sets
of teeth with which nature provided
him and was cutting the third when
death interfered. Until he was 90 years
old he never wore glasses. His men,
ory for dates and small incidents that
happened more than half century ago
was marvellous. The secret of his Won
derful memory undoubtedly lay irr the
fact that he kept a memorandum for
the past fifty years of everything that
happened each day, and he frequently
amused himself by reading it over.
He could not stay in one place long,
but kept travelling around and was un-
easy and nervous in the house. He
wanted to be out in the air. He ate
without a knife and fork a simple
menu of bread and potatoes, with sew
eral cups of tea.
Mr.. Essler was born in Herkimer
county, New York, in 1897 of German
parentage. He enlisted in the Mexican
war in 1916 with the First Pennsylva-
MIA dragons. In 1S49 he was of the
party that, led by Gen. Fremont, made
the first overland trip to California. A
party of 200 that had preceded them
had been killed by the Indians. The
Fremont expedition came upon what
remained of the party and while they
were taking q look at the baggage Of
the unfortunates. Henry Essler became
the principal in a romance. He lifted
off the top of a double wagon box and
found in the second box a little girl
about 4 years old who was still alive.
Essler took her with him TO San Fran
cisco and adopted her. He was unable
TO get any trace of her relatives and
she is now the wife of a well to do
Prairie du CHEN man. While in Cali
fornia Essler found a gold lead which
he sold for $4,000 and returned home.
His was the second mine opened In
California.
He enlisted as a private in the civil
war in 1862 and was with the Sixteenth
Wisconsin regiment. His first battle
was at Shiloh. He marched with
Sherman from Atlanta to the sea and
was confined in Andersonville prison
four months. He was wounded twice.
once in the side and the other time his
right hand was shattered. In 1871 he
was master of the ship Torrent and
made regular trips from Boston to
China, bringing back each time cargo
OF tea. He also made expeditions into
the north and remained frozen IN the ice
once for four months, and during this
time procured furs. With a vessel
loaded with corn he went to Ireland
during the famine. Mr. Essler was in
his later years q farmer. With the
help OF one hired man he did the work

Special Cable TO The Globe
LONDON, April 1s.-At last the Jap
anse fleet, or at least a portion of it,
has been discovered. Dispatches from
Manila say that yesterday sixteen Jap
anese cruisers and torpedo boat de-
strOyers were seen scouting off Sam
paloo point. This point is on the west
coast of LuZon, forty miles north of
Manila. Evidently Togo has received
information that Rojestvensky has left
the Cochin China coast and has again
taken up his northeastern advance.
With the Formosan channels guarded
and approaches to Philippine waters
occupied by cruisers and torpedo de-
stroyers, the long expected conflict
may now be considered close at hand

France May Clear Her Skirts
LONDON. April 1S.-Japanese diplo-
mats and others in London regard the
alleged breaches of neutrality by
France in allowing the Russian second
Pacific squadron to remain over time
on the Cochin China coast as one of
the most serious developments in the
situation. Baron Suyematsu, former
Japanese minister of the interior, said
that if the reports were true Japan
would have good cause to complain.
Japan. however, had no intention of
picking a quarrel with France, and he
added:
Japan is far from coveting Cochin China
as has been imputed in some quarters.

friendship. On the contrary, ] believe that
France is really anxious to avoid trouble
on account Of the Pacific squadron.
think responsible Frenchmen regard the
squadron as an unwelcome guest and
therefore am fully convinced that France
will so manage the matter as TO avoid be-
ing compromised

IGNORANCE BLAMED
FOR DEATH OF BOY
Otto kayser Dies of Black
Diphtheria and Coroner
Orders Investigation

Otto Kayser, aged 16 years, died Of
black diphtheria at the home of his
parents, 276 East Congress street, last
night under such peculiar circum-
stances that the case was reported to
Coroner A. w. Miller and sensational
developments are looked for.
The dead boys 3 year old brother is
also reported to be in dying condition
from the same disease.
DR.. Carl Wirth was called by the
family last night, and as soon as he
had examined the body of Otto Kayser
he pronounced the cause of death to
be diphtheria.
"Kayser had been i'll for about two
weeks with diphtheria," said DIR. Wirth.
"and had been under treatment by a
man who is not a physician and who is
not entitled TO treat. The small child
Is also suffering from the virulent dis
ease and Is in precarious condition.
When became possessed of the
facts in the case / at once reported
developments are due tomorrow The
family informed me that the man had
diagnosed the case as t0nsilitis and
had been treating il as such right up
TO the time the heart paralysis of
diphtheria set in. 1 was called entirely
too late TO be of any service to the-o older
boy and there are small hopes that the
younger may be saved"
DR.. JustuS Ohage, health commits
sioner, when seen late last night, said
that so far as he knew the Kayser
case had not been reported to the de-
partment and quarantine on the house
had never been established. He said
further, that the man reported to have
treated the Kayser boys until DR..
Wirth took charge of the case had
already been in trouble with the health
department and that information had
been filed with the county attorney
against the man in question, charging
him with practicing medicine without
a license.
The original trouble grew out of the
man having returned a death certif-
iCate.
DIR. Ohage said that he would con-
duct a personal investigation into the
Kayser case to ascertain the real stat
us of affairs

ually details surrounding the recent
arrest of dozen terrorists are leaking
out. The capture was accomplished
by Kashovsky, the Russian Lecocu. who
was dismissed from the secret police
several years ago on account of his
connection with Philippe, the spirit
ualist, who created such a stir at court
several years ago. Gov Gen. Trep-
off induced Kashovsky to return
to st. Petersburg and within two weeks
the detective captured the entire band
which had been operating here under
the direction of the central organization
which apparently has its headquar-
ters in Switzerland. Alfred Henry
Mccullough, the man killed March II
by the accidental explosion of a bomb
at the Hotel Bristol, whose real name
was Bauman, was one of the chiefs of
the terrorists having charge of the
manufacture of bombs, and Kaleieff,
who killed Grand Duke Sergius, also
belonged to the same group.
After Bauman's death, Kaleieffs
duties devolved upon Mile. Leont1eff,
daughter of Gen. LeOntieff, who re-
Gently was appointed governor of va
kutSk, eastern Siberia. kaleleHS iden-
tity was established through the dis
covery of a photograph belonging 10

identity he admitted it. saying imme-
diately: "Savinkoff has been arrest

captured Savinkoff, but he is still safe
abroad.

the F'loodwood river in the western
part of st. Louis county, have held up

repetition of such trips might serious
ly affect the local labor supply. The
