Mills, A Druggist, graduate of the

cure, and they usually upset the stom-

Eminent physicians, however, agree
that when the symptoms of lung trou-

The circumstances leading up to the
killing of Joseph Checketts Indicate
that the boy was engaged in an heroic
defense of his mother. Public opinion
is that the killing was entirely justi.
fed, horrible as it and its results may
be. On Tuesday night Checketts went
home in a stupor of alcohol and began
to abuse his wife, a regular practice
for years, according to the statements
of ~neighbors. In his frenzy he grabbed
a butcher knife and stabbed his wife

terrorized, but finally retired, except

Checketts, a man weighing $50

his father one warning.

that his son was dead.
The boy explained the occurrence to

DEATH OF GERMAN HEAVYWEIGHT
Herr Hans Froom, Who Weighed 52s
Pounds, Passes Away Suddenly
at Berlin.

BERLIN, May 1T is reported
from Willenberg, East Prussia, that
Herr Hans Fromm, the proprietor of
hotel in that town, died there after a
short illness. Since the death of Thos.
Longley, of Dover, Herr Fromm enjoy
ed the distinction of being the heaviest
man in Europe. Herr Fromm turned
the scale at 525 pounds. He stood 5
feet, 81 inches in his socks, and meas
ured 70 inches across the chest, by 70
inches around the waist. Deceased,
who always enjoyed magnificent ap-
petite, was of a very happy DISPOSE
iton, although, owing to his vast bulk.
locomotion soon became troublesome to
him. He seldom left the house. The
last time he showed himself in the
public streets was in August, 1900,
when he went to inspect new rail-
wav station, and this was quite an
event for the inhabitants of Willen-
berg. At one time there was some talk
of Herr Fromm accepting an engage
ment to appear on the music hall stage
in Paris, but the project fell through
as there was not a railway carriage
that would accommodate him and he
fatty refused to travel in freight car.
