Bodies Are Found in Verduga
Canyon, Eight Miles From
Southern City, by Rancher
Special Dispatch to The Cali.

LOS ANGELES, June 1S.-In a clump
Of brush on the Thorn Ranch, near YER
dugo Canyon, eight miles from the
city, the bodies of C. E. Thaizes and
his wife were found late tonight by a
ranch hand named Bowman. The man
had been shot through the head and the
woman through the heart. The bodies
were still warm when found. The posi-
ton of the bodies and of the weapon in
dicated that the woman had killed the
man and had then committed suicide.
Thaizes was trusted employe OF the
Sun Drug Company and had recently
been placed in charge Of the Pasadena
branch of that corporation. He resided
at 354 Clay street, in this city. Two
weeks ago a woman who claimed to be
his wife arrived there, and after an in
terview with her Thaizes admitted to
friends that he had had serious trouble
in the East. He did not say what it
was. but he limited that it was some
thing more than mere domestic difficult
ties.
His former home was at Queensbury.
N. Y. and it was from that town that
the woman had followed him. She call
ed at his rooms at almost any hour or
the day or night and several times the
husband fled from the house to avoid
her, never seeing her except when he
found 1t impossible to avoid her. This
afternoon she entered his room without
knocking and demanded that he ac-
company her down town. He went re-
luctantly and that was the last seen
of them alive.
When the bodies were found 1t was
discovered that the woman's face, neck
and chest showed black and blue places
where she had been beaten and choked.
1t is believed they went into the coun-
try and there he tried to kill her and
she shot him and then herself.

BriIion Marsh Land Rises Above Sur
rounding Soil.
/ Dame Nature is working a funny
stunt at Brillion Mrs Nature has
done good many queer tricks in her
time, but for the first time she is
building marsh which is higher than
the surrounding country. And this is
the true story of how this ancient
dame has decided to reverse the usual
order of world building, which has re-
suited in the erection of a heap OF
black muck like a half-grown church
steeple. If Mother Nature keeps on
experimenting about Brillion the
mound of marsh, which is higher than
the solid land about it, may develop
some future farmer, who like the time
tried dame herself, may reverse the
usual order of affairs and make his
grain bags haul his horses to market,
or some such stunt as that Now this
is the true story of the marsh that is
|
| North Main street, Brillion, has need
ed some repairs, and it became neces-
sary to remove several thousand yards
| of earth. This the contractors were
directed to use in filling up the road
way browning a small swamp at the
western limits. The hole in the road
seemed easy enough to fill. But the
first load of earth dumped in the sink
hole gave Mrs. Nature her happy
thought Instead of filling the hole,
the hole got bigger. The more earth
the contractors dumped in the bigger
the hole became. After days work
of dumping in 200 yards Of earth, the
hole would be bigger than ever. Now
the road has become impossible, two
feet of water covering the spot which
was formerly a four-foot grade above
the swamp.
While this work was going on, the
contractors did not at first notice
what was happening in the swamp
near the road. But old Mrs. Nature
and her family were busy. Her ex-
pertinent was succeeding enormously.
AS the earth was dumped into the
road, the swamp began to rise. The
swamp has broken off relations with
the road. 1t scorns its former asso-
Citations. This naughty swamp has
turned its rough edge toward the
road with which it was so long as
sociated and now the swamp stands
ten feet higher than the road, with a
black edge of muck showing where
the would-be lighthouse was once
united with the more humble spirited
roadway. The separation seems to
spell the finish Of the road, but the
swamp is steadily rising toward heav-
en-, as if to show an admiring world
that there are still few things ma
ture has not done, which can be done
if the old lady wishes. The officials
will bridge the chasm.-W.
