MICHIGAN WANTS TERRITORY.
Would Take a Slice Off Wisconsin at
the Bruie

Marinette, Wis, Aug IA report
from Lansing, Mich, states that the
attorney general of that state is going
ahead with the survey of the boundary
line between Wisconsin and Michigan
between the Brule and Montreal riv-
ers. The purpose of the survey is to
run a new line and to claim 5000
acres from Wisconsin, which the Mich
igan officials assert should have been
given them by the original surveyors.
That is not the only boundary dis
pute between the two states, and it is
likely that if both boundary disputes
are considered, some sort of com
promise may be effected between
Wisconsin and Michigan.
When the territory of Wisconsin
was formed congress passed a resolu-
ton fixing the status of the islands in
the MenOminee. The resolution said
that all of the islands should be either
Michigan or Wisconsin territory, ac-
cording to their location with regard
to the main channel of the Menominee
river. those mostly on the Wisconsin
side should belong to Wisconsin and
vice versa. Realizing that this meant
endless disputes congress passed an.
other resolution to the effect that all
the islands in the river should revert
to Wisconsin.
There was a provision in this reso-
luton to the effect that it should be
ratified by the Michigan legislature be-
fore it was legal The Michigan leg
islature never ratified it and this
leaves the ownership of the islands in
the river a matter of argument, and
it may lead to bad complications as
the population along the stream in
creases.
This boundary dispute has already
resulted in complications in which the
jurisdiction of the states clashed.
A suggested compromise in the mat
ter is that Michigan ratify the con-
gressional resolution and give to WIS
consin all the islands in the Menomi-
nee river without question and then
let Wisconsin concede territory fur
Their north.

Disputed Over 500, Man Had Been
Drinking and Plunged a Hunting
Knife Into Womans Back-Dis-
membered Body and Wife Helped
20 PACK II.

Marseilles, Aug. Liver St.
Ledger Goold confessed here yester-
day that he was the murderer of
Emma Levin, wealthy Swedish wo-
man, whose dismembered body was
found in the trunks of Mr.. Goold and
his wife upon their arrival here Au-
gust from Monte Carlo. This trunk
mystery created much excitement,
especially as it was soon learned that
the Goods. who are English, were of
good family. Their explanations of
how the corpse came to be in their
baggage were in no sense convincing
and the confession of yesterday does
not come as a surprise.
Goold made his confession to the
examining magistrate. He related
cody all the details of the horrible
crime He alone had slain the wo-
man, he declared, and it was he who
cut up the body. although his wife
had helped pack it away III their bag
gage. After this had been done they

where they planned to cast the body
into the sea.
Mrs. Goold, whose first name is VIC
let, also confessed her part in the
crime. She said her husband had
promised to give Emma Levin the
sum of 500 for a certain reason, but
she demanded 500 more which she
wanted to give to a man friend. To
this Mr. Goold objected and said he
would not pay the extra hundred.
Tbereupon Emma Levin abused him.
Referring to what happened Goold
says in his confession:
81 had been drinking and becoming
angry I seized hunting knife and
buried it in Emma's back. She fell
dead. The next day I dismembered
the body with a saw and knife and
placed the corpse in a trunk and the
h lad and legs in a valise. l only
stabbed the woman once The other
wounds on her body must have been
caused by shaking around in the
trunk"

HUNTER KILLS
LAND OWNER

Ukiah, Aug 1T J. Crowley was
shot and killed at Black Rock twelve
miles north of Laytonville by John
Butts during an alteration. Crowley
was the owner of the Black Rock
range, a summer resort. He con-
trolled about 10000 acres of land and
refused to allow hunting on his place.
Some of his neighbors contended that
part of his holdings were government
land and that they had a right to
hunt there. Crowley had several rows
with hunters in driving them from
the range and was shot and slightly
injured on a previous occasion. Butts
is resident of Jackson Valley and in
company with a companion had been
hunting on Black Rock range. They
were ordered from the place by Crow
ley who was armed. 1t is supposed
that Butts claims self defense. Crow
ley was formerly a resident of San
Francisco.

BOON FOR FLOUR
Of AMERICA

Washington, Aug. 14.-The state
department is informed by cablegram
from the American legation at
Madrid that the Spanish government
has ordered the removal of the excess
tax on importations of American flour.
Hereafter the rate will be the mini
mum tariff dues paid by -four from
countries receiving the most favored
nation treatment and it is expected
that the result will be a large
increase IN the export -four trade with
Spain as there is believed to be a
considerable shortage in the corn
crop of that country this year.
