The Panama Canal viii be finished In

WOULD WRECK A TRAIN
YOUNG GIRL WANTED TO SEE
HER SWEETHEART.
Ia Order to Get to Him She Ate mpts
to DeraiI the Coaches; Mind
Unbalanced.

Rochester, Indiana, Oct. 9.-Miss Iva
Wagner, seventeen years of age and
the daughter of wellknown minis
ter, is under arrest here on a charge
of trying to wreck Lake Erie &
Western passenger train, thus endan-
gering forty or fifty lives. No less
strange is the accusation that the
wreck ..sss pian3.14 by Miss Wagner
in order that she might get to see
her sweetheart, who is employed by
the railroad company, and who would
have been summoned to the scene of
the wreck, had it occurred.
The railroad detectives who made
the arrest, and who claim to have
secured confession, have reached the
conclusion, that the girls mind is un-
balanced and have informed her faith
er that the prosecution will be stop
ped if he will place his daughter in
an institution where she can receive
treatment.
Several days ago section men found
cross-ties and rails piled on the Lake
Erie & Western tracks and the OBJ
struction was removed only moment
before the passenger train came along.
While the men were at work, however,
Miss Wagner appeared upon the
scene.
Some of her remarks caused those
present to suspect that she knew more
about the attempted train wrecking
than she was willing to tell, and her
actions and remarks were reported to
detectives, who investigated. One of
the detectives laid siege to the girls
heart, and secured statement to the
effect that she had been in love with
a young man employed by the rail-
road company, and that she had piled
the railroad ties on the track, know
ing that he would be at the place
if wreck occurred.
Miss Wagner refuses to make any
statement concerning the affair. Her
father has not decided whether he
will place her in an institution for
treatment or let the law take it's
course. Miss Wagner is, apparently,
a girl of intelligence and is very
pretty.

WOULD TICKLE ROOSEVELT
To Learn Of Martin County's Family
of Fifteen Children.


The Fairmont Sentinel does not
hesitate to award to Mr.. and Mrs.
Martin Malherick of Nashville town.
ship, the honor of being parents of
the largest and finest family in Mar
tin county. Fifteen times has the
stork paused at their doorstep and
left them baby-nine bright hand
some daughters and six sturdy sons.
All are living and range in age from
five to thirty years. Four of the
daughters are married and have homes
of their own. Miss Annie is
dressmaker in this city. The remain
ing ten children are still at home with
their parents, says The Sentinel. 81.
Mr.. and Mrs. Malherick settled in.
Minnesota many years ago and all OF
their children are natives of the North
Star state. The family is of German
extraction. A photograph of these
sturdy people shows Mr.. and Mrs.
Malherick to be well preserved people
of middle age and the young people
as attractive and intelligent group
as one could wish to see.
In these days of small families and
race suicide the Malherick family
group is especially noteworthy and
puts to shame the fashionable home
with one child or perhaps nothing but
a poodle dog or teddy bear.
Fifteen living children. Who can
beat it?
