MURDERED BY TRAMPS
LOUIS SORENSON OF WAUKESHA
VICTIM OF ASSAULT.
Body Found in Clump of Bushes, Rocks
Having Been Used to Cause
Death.

WAUKESHA, Wis, May 25.-[Spe-
ciaL Louis Sorsenson, aged so years,
residing at 234 West st. Paul avenue,
was found murdered this morning on the
river bank south of the city, directly op-
posite the state industrial school grounds.
His head had been beaten in with a rock.
The body was found by Mrs. John Har-
ris who was picking up coal along the
North Western railroad track. 1t lay face
downward with the head wrapped in a
newspaper. The face and hands were
covered with blood. The body evidently
had been dragged about fifteen feet, and
lay under a thick clump of bushes. The
pockets had been riied and an open
pocketbook was protruding from one of
the trousers pockets.
Several blood stained rocks lay near
by. E. w. Malone, who made an exami-
nation, found six distinct wounds on the
head which had been made with rock
or some blunt instrument. There was a
skull fracture above the right temple
which, it is believed, was the cause of
death. The other wounds were on the
left side Of the head. There was no
evidence of struggle, but the grass was
trampled upon for a distance of fifteen
feet where the body had been dragged.
The mans undershirt was badly torn.
Sorenson was engaged in the white
washing business here for years, his
home on st. Paul avenue being an old
tubled-down shack. He was familiarly
last seen alive at $50 o'clock Sunday
morning. He had no enemies so far as
is known. 1t is said that it was his
habit to walk down the track on Sun
day. The officers believe that he was
murdered by tramps

WAUKEsHA, Wis, May 26.-[Spe-
cial. Emma Knagendorf, the young
woman who was shot twice April "a by
her jealous sweetheart, Fred Herbst, who
subsequently committed suicide, will
probably recover from her wounds after
lying for weeks lowering between life
and death. Drs. j. P. Ward, w. I. Muir
ply and R. E. Davies have performed
an operation, removing the two 32-cali-
bre bullets. The bullets were not To-
Gated where it was at first thought.
From the nature of the wounds the
girls escape from instant death is con-
sidered little short of marvellous. One
bullet passed under the left arm,
through both lungs, and was taken out
just above the fifth rib on the right
side The other entered just above the
heart and passed through to the back,
where it was removed near the left
shoulder blade. The physicians now be-
lieve that Miss Knagendorf will COM
pletely recover from her wounds.

HORTONVILLE, Wis, May

HORTONVILLE, Wis, May 90
rounding the finding of the body of Mrs.
Carrie Shaw in the mill pond last week
will be deeply probed was shown at the
inquest which began this morning, when
A. G. Titus, first assistant attorney gen.
eral of Wisconsin. took charge of the
case against Charles Abrams, the New
London merchant, who is held in connec-
ton with the tragedy. Abrams interests
were looked after by Attorney Earl Z.
Finch of Oshkosh.
Mrs. Emma Prime, with whom Mrs.
Shaw had been boarding, testified this
morning that from all she knew Mrs.
Shaw returned to her room after walk
ing for some time with Abrams and
laid down on the bed for awhile. There
was evidence of this from the appear
ance of the room the next morning. She
said that she had something important to
tell to the states attorney this after
noon.
Frank Dunn. the night policeman, de-
clared that he saw no one get on the
train for New London on the night of
the disappearance Of Mrs. Shaw.
Abrams declared when first arrested that
he took this train.
1t is generally believed that when the
jury brings in it's verdict late it will be
a verdict of suicide.

the inquest, women here declare Mrs.
Carrie Shaw was subject to epileptic
fits and that during one of these fits
she fell on the stove and was badly
burned 1t was also during one of
these fits that she broke her limb while
roller skating on April 10.
When the state called Charles Abrams
to the stand at 2 o'clock this afternoon,
his attorney refused to allow him to
testify on the ground that he might in
criminate himself. The state persisted in
starting an examination of Abrams, but
everything except statutory questions as
to age, business, etc, was objected tc
and Justice Sanborn sustained the OBJ
jections.
Attorney Titus for the state asked
Abrams if he was acquainted with Mrs.
Shaw. Attorney Finch objected to the
question. Mr.. Titus asked Abrams what
he came to Hortonville for and this also
was objected to. Then he asked if he
came to Hortonville and this was OBJ
jected to as was all succeeding questions
on the same line until the state excused
Abrams 'fOr the present"

OXEN BUILD THE RAILROADS.
As Well as Do Most of the Farmwork
in Eastern Canada.


The OK as a beast of labor has about
had his day with the American farmer.
He is raised by wholesale, killed by
wholesale and distributed throughout the
world as beef, but he doesn't have to
work.
Up in eastern Canada, however, he
does a big stunt of work before he Is
eaten In Nova Scotia, especially, oxen
are still used for all sorts of farm work.
They plough the fields, haul the hay
and apples and potatoes and cart in the
fierwood from the forest. They are slow
it is true but there is time and to spare
In those parts.
Of late the OK has been helping to
build the railroads in Nova Scotia. He
is found to be very useful in grading the
roadbed, which calls for a lot of short
haul work The oxen are yoked in pairs
and as many pairs can be used tandem
as are necessary to any given job. They
are patient and untiring.
Over the last state of the Nova Scotia
OK it were better to draw the veil When
his working days are about over he is
fattened and then slaughtered Furth-
ermore, he is eaten, and if those who
have made him work through his long
and busy life have the eating of him he

CONGRESS MAY PASS
CURRENCY MEASURE.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 25.-The
postponement of final adjournment OF
Congress has had the effect of causing a
renewal of efforts to bring about an I'M
derstanding between the two houses on
the currency question. There were no
formal conferences today. but there have
been some exchanges in views among in
dividual members of the Senate commit
tee on finance and the House committee
on banking and currency with the result
that an informal proposition has been
made for an adjustment which would in
clude some Of the provisions OF both the
Aldrich and the Vreeland bills.
1t is now suggested that the House
might be brought to accept the emer.
gency bond provision of the Senate bill
provided the asset feature of the House
bill in modified form also could be lncor'
porated in the proposed compromise
measure. 1t is said that the House would
agree to a very strict definition of the

rency, and the Senate has been can.
vassed to some extent for the purpose OF
ascertaining whether the proposition
would be acceptable.
1t is realized that it would be quite
impossible to secure action in the Sen
ate in case of any very stubborn OPPOSE.
ton by even one or two senator's, and
it would be necessary to secure III al
vance practically unanimous consent to
the passage of the bill. 1t also would
be necessary to secure almost all the Re
publican members of the House in sup
port of the measure, and it remains to De
seen whether this can be done. Ihe
plan is still in an incipient stage, out
the next day or two will serve to demon
strate whether it can be put into ex'
ecution.
The Senate began marking time
again when it convened today. Inc
journal was read at length in order te
prevent the passage of any measures
that might result in further delaying pro
ceedings in the House.
During the reading of the journal, ME-

Americas Natural Resources.

While the question of the exhaustion
of the natural resources of the United
States is occupying the center of th@
stage of public interest, it is worth wha
to consider the significance of statistic$
regarding the petroleum industry which
are new and startling. Here they are.
Until 1S9S-just ten years agO-94 pei
cent. of the mineral oil output of this
country came from the states of Penn,
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Ten|
nessee and West Virginia. Now, so faS
as quantity is concerned, this region
holds second place. Last year its Quit
put was 6O,OOO,OOO barrels, while the outI
put of Texas, California, Colorado WI
oming, Kansas and Oklahoma aggrei
gated 1OO,OOO,0O0 barrels. Fifteen years
ago there was hardly a suspicion that
mineral oil was one of the resources OF
the West.
The western oil is not so available fO1
illumination as for fuel, but there ARD
now resources for illumination which
were undreamed of when the PennsylI
vania oil fields began to be exploited fog
kerosene. Then the electric light was
only a scientific experiment. Now it IS
a competitor with the kerosene lamp.
and in cities the lamp occupies second
place. Every water power is now reel
ognized as available to run electric
dynamos for Illuminating purposes and
for operating machinery.
It is we'll that the waste of natural
resou1 ces should be avoided, but there
is no reason for Americans TO go into
a decline through fear that Their pos
rerity will find themselves unable 10
support existence. This is wonderful
continent, whose riches, in spite OF all
that they have yielded, have only begun
to be exploited, and are really only ,,l pc
ginning to be understood.-EVenlng WIS
