Mrs. kehIenbeck, Who Seeks Divorce,
Tells Judge How Her Lord
Chased Her Around House
with Razor

Alleging that her husbands favorite
amusements were Growing teakettles

chasing her about the house threaten
ing her life with a razor, Mrs Maud
Kuhlenbeck of Boyle G.eights yesterday
petitioned Judge Bordwell of the super
ior court to grant her a decree of di-
vorce from her husban", N. G. Kuhlen-
be y.
The marriage took place at Chino in
1902. Mrs. Kehlenbeck had been mar
ried once prior to that time and her lit
tie girl from her first marriage was
the unwilling cause of part of the
household troubles.
Yesterday the girl tol Of the tea
kettle episode as follows:
Papa and mamma had been quarrel
ing about something or other for a
good while. 1 don't remember just what
they were quarreling ABOUT, but at any
rate mamma became tired of hearing
papa talk and she started to leave the
house and go out the door when papa
grabbed up the kettle and threw it at
her head. 1t missed by a few inches
and hit the door frame and made dent
in it,"
Chased Her with Razor
According to the testimony given by
years ago in February Mrs. Kehlenbeck
was seen to make hasty retreat from
her home and to run for projection to a
neighbor's house declaring that her
husband had become greatly angered at
her and was chasing her about with a
razor and threatening her life.
Another relative of the family told of
the cutting of the trees and the break
ing of the furniture.
According to his testimony Kehlen-
beck made his appearance at his home
on the morning of the filing of the suit
for divorce, and finding his wife was
not at home he went to the garden
where a number OF fine fruit trees had
just reached a good height and with an
AK chopped down the trees.
Following this IL was testified he
went into the house and still welding
the ak broke up as much furniture as
he could before taking his departure
Kehlenbeck filed an answer to the al
legations against him, but did not put
any defense. One of his allegations set
forth in his answer was that his wife
had made remarks about him to the
neighbors, referring to him as an "old
Dutchman" and stating that she did
not care to live With him. He also al
legged that his wife interfered and
struck him when he was about to pun
ish her little daughter by the first mar
riage.
Kehlenbeck was an employe of the
gas company and a letter was intro
duced in evidence in which Kehlenbeck
was alleged to say that hard work in
politics in behalf of the company had
caused him to act in the peculiar man
ner he had when he cut down the trees
The case was taken under advisement
by Judge Bordwell yesterday and will
probably be settled in court this morn

owens headwaters, and this instance
Is cited merely to show what the facts

gold of the city officials and the five

ExhaustIess Supply
The endless quantities Of snow that
cover the hundreds of peaks and can
yons which can be counted north Of
Bishop alone form a water storage that
is simply beyond computation. There
are gorges where snow extends to a.
depth of 300 feet for miles back cover
ing the upper 5000 feet of mountain
ranges that extend mile after mile.
Much of the land in the upper valleys
is valueless because of the great amount
of water that mandates it. There are
floods for months. The aquaduct
project which intends to drain off he
waste will add to the tillable acreage
Of the valley, thus adding to the wealth.
It will take a problem off the hands
Of the people, while It brings wealth
into the southern part of the state and
indirectly into the states treasury.
All dwellers In Round valley, Long
valley and the connecting lands are
anxious to see railroad built. 1t will
enable them to market their goods in
Los Angeles, the natural outlet, or the
Nevada mining districts, where good
prices range. but which are far re-
moved because the immense mountains
separate them in the 120-mile length
that tntervenes between Tonopah and
Bishop. There is no hope for a rail-
road, however, till work starts on the

MEASURES WATER
IN OWENS RIVER
MAYOR HARPER FINDS $1,000
MINERS INCHES
InexhaustlbIe Supply Of Water, with
the Largest Natural Storage .
Basin In the World, Exc
ceeding croton
BY HUGH X. HARTUNe

Special Correspondence Of The Herald.
BISHOP, April 21.-Thls was the most
strenuous day of the entire jaunt Of
Mayor Harper's party into the owens
river country. At o'clock this after
noon the return trip to Los Angeles
was begun, when the party turned their
horses heads around near Fred Eaton's
summer ranch in Long valley, and 1t
is thought the travellers can reach Los
Angeles by Friday-perhays Thursday.
At daybreak today the party started
from the Valley View hotel in two
autos, drove to Shurvin Hill and then
boarded two wagons for the hard climb
to the S000-foot level at the summit Of
Long valley.
This point is especially interesting in
the Owens project, because here, some
day, Los Angeles will have and use the
largest natural water storage basin In
the world-twenty-five times greater
than that of the Croton aqueduct. Here
an immense basin surrounded by high
mountains encloses q valley over eight
miles long and of an average breadth of
one mile.
This will be the future storage basin
or reservoir, while the Haiwee reservoir
will be more of regulator, though it
will answer the purpose some years.
engineers, which is the basis of the
June bond issue, the gigantic reservoir
at Long valley was not included. 1t
has developed, however, that by prac-
ticing economies this Long valley dam
also can be built within the limit 1t
will cost probably $750,00O. The dam
will convert the valley at once into q
reservoir.
$1,000 Inches of Water
From Bishop to Long valley the roads
are intersected by two more large
sized streams and two score more Of
smaller tributaries. The country Is
simply bubbling over with water-the
melted SHOWS of the Sierras. The
amount of the flow is appalling. The
Owens river alone in it's headwaters is
now carrying $1,000 inches of water
This is not a cut and dried engineers
measurement, but the entire party par
ticipated in the calculations made to-
day by Engineer ]. Henry Dockweiler.
The laymen held the watches.
The plan was to first measure the
depth and width of the stream. Then
a strip 100 feet long was measured on
the bank.
Engineer Dockweiler threw a stick
into the river, shouting as it struck the
stream. At that second the timers on
shore noted the second hands on their
watches while the timers at the other
end of the strip noticed the time as the
stick passed them. Thus the velocity
of the water was obtained, which when
computed with the width and depth Of
the stream yielded fair total.
There are many creeks flowing from
1000 to $500 inches of water which
empty below the point of measurement

Business Man Needs Faith


of the individual and his goodness in
life are the sources of greatness,
whether in national life or in business
We rise no higher than the source and
let us not forget the source is the
individual man.
Success in business is dependent upon
knowledge, application, energy and
perseverance. 1t is largely due to at
tention to detail, to the watching OF
results, to an untiring energy and
patience, and to faith in ones work
The successful business man aims to
become a master of his business, de-
voted to it, student of it, in order
to make a success of it. Failure comes
when men neglect their business busy
themselves with things that interfere
with their business and trust to others
in the things in which they should
trust to themselves. Men talk of
genius, but what is genius but appli-
cation, energy and perseverance? For
tune is on the side of application, as
victory is on the side tof the best
equipped army, as the wind is with
the skillful mariner. If the business
man takes care of the little things of
business the large ones will soon come
to him, but the essential of his life
is to care for the moral things. Goethe
says, "Be careful what you pray for
in your youth lest you get too much
of 1t in your old age" This is only
another way of expressing the divine
word, LAS you SOW, so shall you reap"
Niles Pease Speaks

Mayor Niles Peace said in part:
"I take great pleasure in representing
Mayor Harper to the b. st Of my ability

enough with the city officials to become
we'll acquainted with them and fave
great confidence of their integrity upon
which you can all depend that they will
do their utmost for the best interests
of the city.
with all the faults there have been
found about the affairs of the city gov
ernment the people do not understand
the details. And as to the street work,
the citizens must not be in too much
of a hurry for the improvements.
Everything possible is being done in
this direction for the help at work
"As to the Owens river water project,
1 wanted to take the trip, but 1 have
looked into the engineering features and
other propositions and l am. entirely
satisfied with the prospects and Mayor
Harper reports his entire satisfaction
IF the people should fail to vote for
the Owens river water (Which l think
they will no) my idea would be that
real estate values would depreciate so

GOES TO ANSWER
MURDER CHARGE
OFFICERS FROM MIDDLET0WN
Will Take Charles n. Rogers Back to
New York to Stand TRAILS
Accused Of Triple
Killing

John d. McCoach, chief Of police Of
Middletown, NJ Y; Abraham Decker,
sheriff, and f. G. Hook, undersheriff
Of Orange county, New York, arrived
in Los Angeles yesterday and identified
Charles Henry Rogers, confined in the
city jail, as the man wanted in the
eastern city on the charge Of murder
ing Alice Ingerick, Willis Olney and
friedrich Olney a short distance from
Middletown in October, 1905.
The officers will leave Los Angeles
this morning with their prisoner and
he will be taken at once to Middletown,
where he will stand trial on the charge
of murder.
Rogers was arrested in Los Angeles
by Patrolman McGraw April 10. The
man was known here under the name
Of II. r. Carpenter and was pointed out
to McGraw by friends of the officer. He
was taken to the police station, where
he is said to have confessed that his
name was Rogers and that he had for
merly lived in Middletown, but denied
that he knew anything about the deaths
Of the three persons.
Tells Of Crime
Chief McCoach of Middletown was at
once communicated with and within q
few hours word was receivedN to hold
Rogers, as he was a dangerous criminal
and that officers would at once come
after him.
When questioned yesterday Chief Nc
Coach said:
"The crime of which Rogers is ac-
cused was an exceptionally brutal one.
ION the afternoon of October 6, 1906
Frederick and Willis Olney, prosperous
farmers, were shot to death in the
woods back of their farm, about four
miles from Middletown. Mrs. Ingerick
their housekeeper, was found in q barn
unconscious from fractured skull and
the body of her daughter, Alice, aged
8, was discovered in the cellar, and her
skull had been fractured.
Mrs. Ingerick's memory was so af-
fected by the blow that she was un-
able for a long time to give an ac-
count of the attack upon her.
"It was learned that a wagon con-
tanning two men was driven to the
farm the afternoon of the murder, and
afterward disappeared. Later a private
detective agency and the New York
authorities secured sufficient evidence
to convict Rogers before the grand jury
in January, 1906"
After Rogers was arrested it was
learned that he had been employed in
MADEIRA, Cal, on ranch. He had
heard that members of private de-
tective agency were in MADEIRA look
ing for hir- and had given up his posi-
ton and left the town few hours be-
fore they arrived. While on the train
to Los Angeles he mentioned to man
that the eastern police were looking
for him and it was this man who in
formed Patrolman McGraw.

FAKE RELIC SW|NDLE
TABLETS MADE, BURIED, THEN
UNEARTHED.
Esploiters Come to Grief In Digging
Up "Noah's Dlary'-Michigan
Copper Used as Basis Of
Gigantic Fraud.

Detroit, Mich.--An alleged copy of
Noah's diary, engraved upon a cop
per tablet dug UP in Michigan and Of
fered for sale to Wisconsin col
lector, has resulted In uncovering one
of the cleverest swindles of recent
years. A former secretary Of state Is
implicated in the affair and with him
are university museum curator and
other Michigan men.
Michigan copper formed the basis
of the enterprise. which consisted In
manufacturing ancient relies out of
"copper" painting them green to rep
resent verdigris. dipping them in cor
rosive acid. and burying them in
mounds, after which they were dug
UP by relic hunting expeditions under
the leadership of the promoters.
The afYidavits of prominent citizens
that they had seen the relics dug out
of the ground were sufficient to secure
their sale to credulous collectors, no
one dreaming that the prehistoric age
might have been only IL months be-
fore. Indian copper implements, battle
axes III zeal COpptI, WSI tShip'i'N'
spearheads, and other supposed rare
and anciently corroded relics that
have been treasured In Michigan and
outside museums are declared to be
bogus, with the result that all collec,
tions OF the sort are thrown under
more or less suspicion.
AS a finishing touch to gigantic
| swindle the relic manufacturers
branthed off from Indian relics. They
went so far a sto dig up in the pres
| ence of reputable witnesses bronze
tcLlets inscribed with hieroglyphics
and symbols of the biblical deluge and
he tower of Babel. The takers would
| nave had collectors believe that
Michigan was the seat Of the original
food, and that Noah's ark f!oated
somewhere among Mirhigsn's, low
hills, which were the real Mount
| Ararat.
The diary of Noah was offered TO a
wealthy man of the Badger state, who
asked the advice of a museum chrator
as to accepting it, This man had had
considerable expei fence with fakes and
warned the relic patron to beware
Whether the relic finally was sold can
not be learned.
