DEATH IN STRANGE MISHAP.
Dakota Farmers Bride Found Dead
i'm Homo.


Elizabeth Hochhalter, wife of Fred
Hochhalter, a prominent Mcpherson
County farmer, met her death as the
result of peculiar accident. The un-
fortunate woman was g bride of only
about two months.
Her Gead body was found lying in a
pool of blood in front of her sewing
machine in a room of her house. BY
the side of the machine lay a shotgun,
which had been discharged, the charge
striking the young wife and instantly
killing her.
The young woman was alone in the
house while her husband was engaged
at work in the barn, which stands
some distance from the dwelling. Mrs.
Hochhalter was engaged in sewing, the
sewing machine occupying position
in front of a west window.
From the position of the body and
the gun it is practically certain that
she climbed up on the sewing ma
chine for the purpose of pulling down
the roller window shade, and that
while thus engaged she fell and
Knocked from it's pegs the shotgun.
The weapon was suspended on two
nails driven into the wall. The butt
end of the gun was close to the win
dow casing. When the young wife
fell she Knocked the gun loose, as
stated, and in striking the floor the
weapon was discharged, the Tnuzzle
being in such position at the time
the gun was discharged that the full
charge entered the back of the unfor-
tunate womans head.
She was only Fl years of age and
vas married Jan. last.

FOOD HELP8
I'm MannUement of a r.. n.

In Management of q r.. r..
Speaking of food railroad man
says:
my work puts me out In all kinds
Of weather, subject to irregular hours
for meals and compelled to eat all
kinds of food.
For seven years i was constantly
troubled with Indigestion, caused by
eating heavy, fatty, starchy, greasy,
poorly cooked food, such as are most
accessible to men in my business. Gen.
orally each meal or lunch was follow
ed by distressing pains and burning
sensations In my stomach, which de-
stroyed my sleep and almost untitled
me for work. My brain was so muddy
and foggy that 1t was hard for me to
discharge my duties properly.
This lasted till about year ago,
when my attention was called to Grape
Nuts food by a newspaper ad. and I
concluded to try it. Since then have
used Grape-Nuts at nearly every meal
and sometimes between meals. We
railroad men have little chance to pre-
pare our food In our cabooses and
find Grape-Nuts mighty handy for it is
ready cooked.
ITO make a long story short, Grape
Nuts has made a new man of me. I
have no more burning distress in my
stomach, nor any other symptom of in
digestion. / can digest anything so
long as eat Grape Nuts, and my brain
works as clearly and accurately as an
engineers watch, and my old nervous
troubles have disappeared entirely"

Fire Bue Owns Up.

The barns owned by the L. b. Ellis
company on the so-c8lled l.. III. Abbott
farm on Christian hill were totally con-
sumed by fire the afternoon Of Aug. 10Th
The premises were occupied by William
Bishop. William Weeks, a boy seventeen
years OF age, boards in the family OF Mr..
Bish7p. Dir. and Mrs. Bishop were alb
sent ia Sharon and the only persons at
home were Miss Bishop, her friend, Mrs.
b. II. Benedict and the Weeks boy. The
boy vas around the buildings after dim
ner. About twenty minutes after three,
Miss Bishop, who was at the house,
heard a cracking noise ami looking
towards the barns discovered them afire.
She at once went to the barn and tried to
remove horse belonging to Nergil Cod
dington. She uniastened the horse but
was not able to get him out of the barn.
The Weeks boy was standing around all
this time, but offered no assistance,
though he was but a few feet from the
barn.
Young Weeks was afterwards asked If
he set the fire and at first answered he did,
and showed how he did IL, but later
denied It.. His father is a driller at the
Ellis quarry and came TO Bethel the past
summer from Barre. IL seems that before
he came 10 Bethel there was fire at Barre
with suspicious circumstances pointing
towards this boy.
The town authorities OF Bethel consid-
cred the matter enough Importance to de
mand the restraint OF the boy, and on the
certificate OF Drs. X. NJ. Chase and o. "
Greene the father took his son TO the
Waterbury asylum Saturday and the
selectmen have instituted proceedings to
throw the support upon the state, as the
father is not able TO bear the burden.
The only insurance carried was that of
the Ellis Granite company OF $50 on the
barns in the Vermont Mutual through the
agency OF Guy Wilson. The Ellis COM
pany had just filed the barns with hay
and stored cons iderable other property
therein and estimate their loss at $3.50
Mr.. Bishop lost about $500 worth of tools
and produce and Mr.. Coddington a horse,
cart and harness and Willis Davis had
small loss

improvements IN Cherry Hill and
Fairyiew Cemeteries.

The directors of Cherry Hill cemetery
have completed some work OF a very de-
sirable nature and have others in view
when the funds warrant. With the
money already in the treasury, they have
bought about half an acre of Robert
Noble and have moved the old stone wall
separating { he new purchase from the old
cemetery, using the stone in building a
bank wall on the westerly side. A short
time ago the association was presented by
Mrs. H. X. Wing with a deed OF one Of
the best springs on Christian hill, situated
about a mile northwesterly from the ceme-
terry, in the vicinity OF what is known as
Gilman's fish pond. A water supply is
much needed at the cemetery and Il is
now planned to bring this water as soon
as the needed funds can be raised. II is
estimated that 1t will take some over s400
to defray the expense and the association
has already pledges for about half that
amount. II is also intended in the near
future 10 remove the unsightly stone wall
on he eastery side and put a bank wall
between the cemetery and the road leading
up Christian hill.
The selectmen have been laying out 10
is the unoccupled part Of Fairview
cemetery. Most OF The lots are established
16x1s feet and iron pins have been placed
al each Of the four corners OF the lots.
This is probably one OF the oldest ceme-
teres o the town. Ii was decided Feb. 9,
1877, by Seth Chase, one OF the original
proprietors Of the town, 10 the inhabi-
tanis Of the town OF Bethel for use as
burying place. The consideration named
is seven pounds, ten shillings, legal
money. No condition is attached to the
deed. Two and one-half acres OF land
were conveyed
A peculiar circumstance is noticed thst
three years later Samuel Webster con-
yeyed to Nathaniel Thr0op, Nehemiah
Parish ana Jonathan Burnett, selectmen
OF Bethel, al acre and half OF land about
twenty rods northwesterly of the land
conveyed by Seth Chase. This second
conveyance Is supposed to have been for
cemetery purposes also, and Is supposed to
nave been situated on the fiat across the
road and somewhat southerly OF the farm
house Of Pearl NJ. Sayaga. Old inhabi-
tants state that interments were made m
this last cemetery many years ago, but
that the soil proved to be unsuitable for
that purpose aud that il was understood
that most, II not all, the bodies were
moved TO Fairview cemetery. NJ. Il. Saw
age thinks that within his time one stone
was standing with the name OF Marsh up
