BABY BREAKS ARM

A. little boy, the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Kirschlinger on the
west side, had the misfortune while
playing to fall IN such a manner as to
break his arm. The little fellow is
only about year old, and both bones
in the left fore arm we're broken. A
physician was called and attended TIC
the injury, and the little fellow is now
testing quite as easily as one could ex-
pect from the nature of the hurt.
He with several little playfellows
were playing about the yard last Tues
day evening. and in the course of their
play, they attempted to climb a fence
bordering the yard. Part of them had
reached the top, when the little fellow
lost his hold on the bars upon which
he was climbing and fell to she
ground. The bones in the left fore.
arm were broken by the fall, but due
to the prompt attendance to the IN.
jury, he is now coming along al
right.

Attack on Good Name Reason fol
Taking His Life.

The suicide mentioned in TUESDAYS
REPORTER was not man, as was first
reported, but boy only eleven years
old. His name was Clifford Siefert,
the adopted son of John Siefert, a
farmer living near Vesper The boy
took his own life by means of hang
ing, the means used being a piece of
binder Irvine. Taking two pieces to
make strong rope, he hung himself
from a beam.
There is practically no reason that
can be assigned for the act. Several
possible causes have been brought up,
only one Of which seems PLAUSIBLE.
At first 1t was thought that it was
dependence because of his supposed
hard lot at having to get up early in
the morning, and then it was be-
lieved to have been done because of
fear of punishment. The one reason
that seems most plausible is the fact
that he was plagued and slandered by
companions about his birth. Being
the adopted son OF Mr.. Siefert, some
other boys of his own age with whom
he associated, had several times when
at outs with him, accused him of be-
ing an illegitimate child.
This statement, made several times
during the past two months, has worn
greatly on the sensitive boys feelings
and several times he had come home
in tears and would feel respondent
for several days as result of this slur
OF his good name. Though saying
scarcely anything about 1t to his
adopted parents, ne had several times
contided to boy friends that he wished
himself dead, when the boys sought
to ''get back at him" by means of the
allegation mentioned. Those that
know anything of the matter, and
who have lived with the family as
neighbors, declare this to be the rea-
son for the deed. Though only an
adopted son, the parents we're over
come by grief, as the boy was bright,
| and good honest little fellow.

THE CRANBERRY MARSH

A representative of the REPORTER
Office had occasion to visit the A. G.
Bennett and Sons cranberry marsh
this week. On the road there, and
after leaving the Gaynor property, one
crosses broad expanse of marsh, and
when still at distance the Bennett
marsh is plainly seen in such way as
to give one the impression of approach
ing small village, instead of private
home, because of the large number of
fine buildings upon the place.
The cranberry marsh has been i'm
proved wonderfully lately, aud among
one OF the improvements that at
tracted our attention was large
barn, the extreme dimensions of which
were "a by "a feet, of sufficient size to
comfortably accommodate twelve head
OF cattle and six head of horses, with
huge hay loft, wagon room, handy
feed rooms and every appliance that
Is put into modern and handily ar
ranged barn.
Beside the barn there is a general
air of improvement and prosperity
about the place that is good to see, be-
cause OF the general brushing up
around, painting, additions to the sey,
eral buildings, giving one the impress
sion that all is moving along well on
the marsh. There are commodious
quarters for the help, some of whom
are on the place the year around, help
Ing keep the marshes in the best form

A RUMOR HUNTED DOWN.

The following story told by the
Springfield Republican illustrates the
facility with which false rumors spread,
when they are not arrested In their wild
fight by stern facts.
The New Orleans States some time
ago published a statement credited to
the New Bedford Standard to the ef-
feet that last year 1900 women We're
brutally and criminally assaulted in
Massachusetts. adding that this PEE
culiar form " crime has increased ia
alarming proportions until It has be-
come the chief criminal problem OF
many communities"
Ordinarily the statement would have
been read as an item Of appalling news,
and circulated freely But, the honor
Of the state being involved, someone
undertook to follow the rumor back to
It's source as far as possible, and as
certain the truth or falsehood, Of 1t,
1t was then found that the paper to
which credit had been given, the New
Bedford Standard had been mIsquotcd,
the word "crlmlnally" having been in
serted before the word ASSAULTED
This changed the meaning materially;
stll the Standard version was that L.
200 women had been "brutally" as
saulted In the state, and this was cred
tied to "a Massachusetts exchange
On inquiry the name Of this exchange
was given, but its editor refused to
name the source Of Information.
The investigator then turned to the
chairman Of the Massachusetts state
board Of prison commissioners for in
formation on the question and this
gentleman promptly denied the story,
He wrote
Replying to your note Of the LIST inst,
| beg To say that ! cannot help you to
discover the authority for the state
ment that 1900 women were brutaly
assaulted In Massachusetts last year.
Those figures are very wide OF the
truth for taking into account all the
cases OF assault brought before the
courts that could by any stretch Of thu
assaults on women, there were only l46.
Many Of these cases We're discovered on
Investigation to be less serious than
stated In the original complaint, and
some We're found TO De altogether
groundless, The number OF sentences
for crimes Of this nature was 40, and
Of these 10 were for an Offense described
merely as Indecent assault"
Several papers had copied and COM
monted on, the startling figures first
published and the story, as will be seen,
ala not lose IN Intensity as II went from
place to place.
II Is the same with numerous sensa-
tioual stories that are permitted to go
out concerning Utah, always on tho
authority OF someone whose identity
cannot be discovered, or whose veraci-
ty equals nil Were they All hunted
down, as this fake concerning the state
Of Massachusetts, they would be found
as devoid Of any basis In facts. Let
anyone interested In the truth, try the
experiment.
