Bridenbechers only excuse is that he
presumes he was drunk. He also pre-
sumes he is guiity. but claims his mind
is a blank as To- what happened Sunday

The physician tctiGed that he was

wife get out OF BED and craw! on her
hands and knees 20 the stove and put
coal on the fire for him the second day

was doing nicely for a time. but took
sick during the week and died last Sat

child was poisoned by its mothers milk.
He also believes the milk was rendered
unwholesome by worry and abuse.

Troops Not Needed,

Governor Cummins has received a
telegram from Mayor Unterkircher of
Burlington in which the mayor de-
clared that the situation of affairs ex-
listing in Burlington had been grossly
exaggerated in the petition filed by
Attorney Hauser, WHO declared that a
state Of anarchy existed and requested
the governor to send troops to protect
the citizens in their rights. Mayor
Untsrkircher declares that there Is no
riot, no disorder, and no need nor use
whatever for militia. In view of this
statement on the part Of the municipal
authorities, 1t is not likely that Mr.
Hauser's request for troops will he

law for the calling out of the militia

citizen. The trouble at Burlington

After a Mysterious Disappearance of
Six Days Miss Elsie Tiederman
Is Found Dying in Her
Fathers Barn.

After mysterious disappearance of
six days, Miss Elsie Tiederman, girl
eighteen years old, was found dying in
a haymow in her fathers barn near
McIntire. How she came to be in
such a condition or what took her to
that place is not known, and the girl
is too weak to explain the circum-
stances. AS far as medical examina-
lions have shown she Is suffering from
no foul play, and there seems to be
no cause for her weakness other than
lack of food. She is being cared for
at her home, but the physicians have
no hope of her recovery. Miss Tieder-
man lived on her fathers farm, three
miles southeast Of McIntire, where she
kept house for her father and brother,
her mother having died a few years
ago. Her home life has been pleas
ant, and until a few weeks ago she
had been In the best of health. With
the commencement of her illness,
which did not appear to be serious,
she began to grow melancholy, and
when her father and brother returned
to the house one afternoon she was
missing Fearing that her melancholy
might have led her to wander away
or perhaps commit suicide, they began
to search for her, but were unsuccess-
full, and they called on some of their
neighbors to help them. The news of
her disappearance spread, and for
four days large party of men
searched for the missing girl Finally
the girls brother went up into the
haymow to get feed for some of the
stock and found his sister lying there
unconscious. He hastily summoned
help, and she was taken to the house,
while neighbor was sent for physi-
| clan. The doctor came Immediately
and worked for some time trying to
bring her back to consciousness, but
he did not succeed. He found no evil
dence of foul play which would indi-
| cate the cause of her stupor. Every
| effort is being made to restore the girl
| TO consciousness SO that she can tell
somathipg Of what has happened to
her and how she came to be in that
place, but there is nothing to indicate
