DEATH PREVENTED ARREST
John HoImgren, Killed at Moline, Said
to Have Forged Wife's Name.

New Windsor paper brings further
light on the career of John Holmgren
the man who was killed by train in
Moline a couple of weeks ago and
whose wife refused to provide for the
burial of the remains. Holmgren, it
seems, had been heavy drinker for
some time. He had married a widow
who had some property and he contriv-
edT get enough of this from time TO
time to go on sprees. Some time ago
the wife began suit for divorce. 1t is
alleged that the death of Holmgren
saved him from prosecution for for
gerry, as he had signed his wife's name
to check that he cashed at Cable.

HANDLEY MURDER TRIAL
BEFORE JUDGE GRAVES
Much Interest in Case of Man Who
Killed Burton Mapes of Pro-
phetstoWn.

Judge Graves is presiding in court
at Morrison, Whiteside county, where
the Handley murder trial was taken up
yesterday. The selection of jury is in
progress. There is much interest in
the case, owing to the prominence of
the victim, Burton Mapes of Prophets
town There is no question of Hand
tey's guilt, the only issue being wheth-
er he acted in self defense. The kill
ing occurred Nov. 20 last en- a farm
near Prophetstown. Handley, who was
a former employee of Mapes, had quit
and gone to work for a neighbor A
disagreement over wages had taken
place. On the day of the tragedy Hand
ley was picking corn in a field near
that in which Mapes was working. The
latter started toward the former, for
what reason no one knows, and Hand
ey returned to the house and secured
a revolver Thus armed he returned
20 the field and when he met his form
er employer he shot him dead.

The recent yacht race across the At

lily won by the American boat, which
established a new record between San

fact, it is so far ahead of its competi-
tors that there is really no second in
the race. You therefore owe it to

vAsELlNE NO GOOD FOR HAIR
Dandruff Germ Thrives in II, as Wei
as In All Grease.

A well known Chicago hair specialist
invited the Inter-Ocean reporter TO
come to his Office and see, under a
microscope. how the germ that causes
dandruff thrives in vasel.ne. The spe-
cialist said that all hair preparations
containing grease, simply furnish food
for the germs. and help to prop
agate them. The only way TO
cure dandruff is to destroy
the germs. and the only hair prep
aration that will do that is Newbros
Herpicide. Destroy the cause, you
remove the effect" Without dandruff
no falling hair, no badness. Ask for
Herpicide. 1t is the only destroyer
of the dandruff germ. Sold by leading
