SECRET BRIDE SHOT,
MYSTERY INVOLVED
Mother Sleeping Beside
Girl Did Not Hear
Shot.

NEW YORK, April Allow did Mrs.
Beatrice Aue manage to shoot herself
In the right temple and not awaken her
mother, who was asleep by her side?
This is one phase of the mystery OF the
wounding Of this secret bride, who was
removed yesterday from the house OF
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John Bruck-
ner, 2321 Bassford avenue, in the
Bronx, 10 Fordhan Hospital.
Mrs. Bruckner intensified the mystery
by insisting that her daughter had fall
en- against a rocking chair and hurt
her forehead
This. too, in the face of the fact that
the surgeons by probing found that the
bullet had penetrated the temple for
Two inches.
Life Hangs by Thread.
The life of the young woman, who IS
mot yet twenty-one, depended upon
whether the frontal bone had kept the
leaden pellet from piercing the brain
She remains unconscious, and the sur
geons dars not toy to extract the bullet
( The girl was the belle OF her social
set last August, when she secretly
welded Frank Aue, of sos Decatur ave
nue., in the Bronx.
1t was not until two weeks ago. when
illness compelled her removal to a priv
ate ward in the Fordham Hospital, that
Mrs. Aue told her secret. She still was
i'll when she returned 10 her parents
home two days ago, and on Thursday
even she was attacked with commissions
The family doctor advised her 10 re-
turn 10 TIE hospital and It had been de-
cided TO do this yesterday.
Her Sister a Chorus Girl.
Mrs. BrucBner slept until her daugh-
ter Annie, who is in the chorus at a
downtown theater, arrived after a. m.
Annie said that she noticed a spot Of
blood on her sisters pillow, and that
! she awakened her mother. The mother
says she decided that the spot Of blood
was caused by her daughter striking
her head against a rocker. and went TO
sleep again. Annie said that she found
a revolver lying across her sisters arm.
Mrs. Buckner said she again was
awakened by Mrs. Aue's means at a.
m, and decided TO call up Fordham
Hospital.
The brides father declared that there
produced it. 1t was old and rusty, and
had not been used for years, he said. Il
was unlOaded, but a single discharged
cartridge that fitted the revolver was
found. It had been placed back In the
box with the loaded cartridges Bruck-
ner was sure he had not heard shot
Annie could not say If the old revolver
was the one she had seen on the bed
Aue remained at the hospital all Of
yesterday. He refused to discuss the
shooting.

HELD ON THE CHARGE OF ROBBERY
John Briggs, a Stranger, Gets Into.
Serious Trouble at Springfield.
the meeting

After trial that occupied the at
tention of Justice Semans' court ins
Springfield for the greater part of two.
days John Briggs, total stranger to-
these parts, was bound over to await
the action of the grand jury on a,
charge of larceny in the second degree,
and was brought to the Jail in this city
Wednesday afternoon.
Briggs is a gambler and horse
trainer by profession and the particu
lar offense of which he is accused is,
that of entering the rooms of the en-
ployes of the Boeck hotel and stealing
from each small sums aggregating a
total of S11.15.
He stoutly protested his innocence
of the theft, but the evidence of other
witnesses and his own admission as to.
his character and habits were against
him. and Judge Semans bound him,
over under bond of $500. This ne,
was unable to furnish and he will
therefore languish in Jail until the,
May term of court.

some opposition from property owners

.FARMER's IFRIGATFUL DEATH
While Operating a Sod Cutter
George Marti Loses His Life.
Was Jerked In Front OF the Ma.
chine by the Horses He was
Driving.
An Artery of His Leg Being
Severed Death Came Quickly.

4
Meagre details Of the terrible death
of George Marti of Iberia reached this
city Monday evening.
Mr.. Marti, it seems, was at work in
his field late in the afternoon, operat-
ing a sod cutter. Suddenly the horses
became frightened, made a lunge for
ward and at the same time jerked Mr..
Marti off his seat and threw him in
front of the blades of the machine
An instant later one of his legs had
been almost amputated, an artery had
been severed and the helpless man bled
profusely.
Others working on the farm wit
messed the accident from distance
and Immediately rushed to the injured
mans rescue. But it was too late.
Without the aid of doctor they were
able to do little or nothing to stop the
flow Of blood and by the time the body
had been carried to the house life had
ebbed away.
Mr.. Marti was the son of Samuel
Marti of this city and was about
forty-two years of age.
After marrying a Milford girl, Miss
Falk, some years ago he moved onto
a farm near Iberia and continued te
reside there until the time of his tragic
death.
He leaves widow and several small
children TO mourn his loss.

ATTORNEY PFAU BECOMES JUDGE
Governor johnson Appoints Him to
Succeed Judge Cray.

Mankato citizens we're surprised
Friday to learn that Lorin Cray, for
eight years or more an honored MEM
Der of the district bench of this state,
had rendered his resignation and that
Governor Johnson, at Judge Cray's
suggestion, had appointed Attorney
A. r. Pau to succeed him.
But while the Mankatoites were sur
prised, they were not in the least dis
pleased.
To be sure, they regretted the loss
of Judge Cray, but they could not but
welcome this appointment of Mr.. Pau.
For nearly forty years they have
been willing to accord him first place
among the practitioners of the Blue
Earth county bar and from their know
ledge of his ability as a lawyer and his
integrity as a man they do not hest.
tate 30 express their confidence in his
eminent fitness for the responsible
place he has been called upon to fill.
Judge Pau will be remembered in
Brown county chiefly for the part he
played as attorney for New Tim in
the famous county-seat contest.

IN A RECEPTIVE MOOD ONLY
Gov. johnson in a Letter Clearly
Defines His Position.
Has no Objection to the Presenta.
ton Of His Name to the
Denver Convention.
Does not Believe, However, in Max.
ing a Self-Seeking Campaign.

In response to letter from Editor
Swan Turnblad of Minneapolis, in
which Mr.. Turnblad says he has been
subjected to many inquiries as to Gov.
Johnson's plans IN connection with
the Democratic nomination for presi-
dent, the governor has made the fol-
lowing candid and digniied statement:
I do not belive that any American
citizen should be an active, open can
didate for the nomin alton to the presi-
dency but any American should appre-
ciate the high honor which would come
to him in being selected as standard
bearer of his party.
While [ recognize that the press
has had much to say of me in connec-
ton with this high office, have hither-
to avoided any public or private ex-
preston regarding my position. Mat
tiers have progressed so far, however,
that it seems to me that ] should at
least say, in answer to your interroga.
ton, that ii the Democratic party OF
thenation believed me to be more avail
able than any other man, and felt that
by my nomin alton could contribute
any service to the party and to the ma
ton, I should be happy to be the reci-
pient of the honor which it would thus
confer.
Il am not unmindful, either, Of the
high honor which has been paid me
by the people of Minnesota, and if the
Democratic party of the state desires
to present my name to the next ma
tional convention, I am sure woul6
have no objection; but even if Mime
/ sofa were the only state to declare fol
me at that time, | should still feel tha
the distinction was one Of the creates
which could come to me.
Il have done nothing and will dc
nothing in the way of organization .tt
bring about this end, and shall not b,
