PICK SITES FOR STATE PARKS.
Board VIII Recommend -Four Places with
Ideal Surroundings.

MADISON, Wis, Jan. 25.-T. L.
Birmingham, chairman of the state park
board, has returned from a trip around
the state devoted to the arousiug of SEN
timcnt in favor Of the park proposition.
The commission has not selected any
definite sites but has made decision
upon four places that would give the
most ideal surroundings. They will rec
ommend that the state establish parks
in the localities named. One site is
Door county and here the commission
gives wide latitude Tor selection, as no
particular spot is favored beyond an
other. Another site to be recommended
is at Devils lake, where there are about
$500 acres available Still another ideal
place is at Blue Mounds, near Mount
Horcb, in Dane county. 4 fourth site
that would be worthy of consideration,
the commission believes, is known as
Platte mounds, near Platteyille, in
Grant county.

THINK GIRL MURDERED
FIND FINGER MARKS
ON MISS MALONE'S NECK.
This Refutes Suicide Theory and Sub
stimulates Idea That GAINESVILLE
Has Maniac Assassin.

GAINESVILLE, Wis, Jan. 27.-[Spc-
concusively that Miss Josephine Ma
lone, whose body was taken from the
Rock river Saturday, was the victim Of
foul play.
Physicians who gave the body of Miss
Malone careful examination this morn
ing report that the red abrasion on the
neck, which was at first thought to have
resulted from the rubbing of the collar,
are undoubtedly finger marks. This re-
flutes the suicide theory and points clear
ly to the fact that the woman was
choked, probably to insensibilty, before
the body was given to the river.
Is there a mysterious assassin in
GAINESVILLE whose victims thus far have
been women! Is this man Il former in
mate of an asylum whose insane cum
ming makes his capture ditticult and the
solution of the two strange deaths Of
women in the Bower City well nigh
impossible?
This is the problem that confronts the
district attorney and police of this city.
Twice within a month they have been
called upon to drag from the Rock river
the bodies of women whose deaths can
not be satisfactorily explained.
On December IS, Madelyn Clayton,
Chicago actress, was found dead in
the river, and on Saturday last the
corpse of josephine Malone. dress
maker, was discovered lying barely two
feet under the surface, but a scant 100
yards from the spot where Madelyn
Clayton's body was discovered less than
a month before.
A feature which may shed light upon
the case and substantiate the theory
of the maniac assassin is found in the
fact that two weeks before she met her
death Miss Malone related to two Of her
work women that she had been stopped
on the Court street bridge the night be-
fore by mysterious man whom she
thought meant to rob her but disap-
peared quickly without molesting her
when two men appeared from a side
street
Il is this mysterious man whom the
police are now looking for. Madelyn
Clayton is thought to have started across
the Court street bridge when she dis
appeared the night Of November - and
her body was found a month later in the
rear of the Jail 50 distiGured it could only
he identified by her clothes and jewelry.
Miss Malone's body was found on the
west side opposite and a few hundred
feet below this spot Both deaths are
the subject of conjecture and the district
attorney has promised to probe the dou-
BILE mystery to the bottom.

GAS VICTIM MAY DIE,
Crippled Invalid Shows Remarkable Re
Operative Powcrs-Slept Fifteen
Hours in Fumes.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, January %
The probable rocovery of Charles
Schumacher, although aged and crippled,
from the effects Of sleeping for fifteen
hours in a room filled with coal gas, is
considered remarkable by physicians.
Schumacher this morning was able to
take nourishment, having recovered his
consciousness.
Being an invalid cssened the aged
mans chances for recovery, but through
the efforts of DR.. w. L. Reich, who is
attending him, he is gradually regaining
strength. Dr. Reich accounts for Schu-
macher's recovery from the effects of the
gas, from the fact that he was lying
upon the bed, while his aged mother
was on the floor where the gas was
thckest and heaviest, and consequently
the aged woman died. Schumacher is
being taken care of at his home, 4l0
