Gun with Which Krause Shot Mrs.

A bomb was sent into the camp of the
defense III the Paul Krause murder case

when District Attorney Rooney in his
Introductory remarks informed the court
and the jury that the state had found
the gun that Krause says he removed
from his room on the night prior to the
tragedy, June ), and claims to have
thrown into the Fox river.
The gun, according to the state, was
found in the home of Mrs. Grunert. di-
vorced wife of the accused man, whose
dead body was found hanin from a
hook in the clothes closet on the second
floor of her home. The weapon was
wrapped in pieces of ciOthin and tucked

KILLED BY LIVE WIRE

er of DR.. j. T. Unertl and brother-iu-

by elecuocution at the corner Of Twelfth

when he walked against live trolley
wire which had broken and fallen IL

shock of at least 200O volts passed
through his body.
Shortly before Q o'clock a street car
had switched at the corner. The trolley
pole slipped and springing up cut a feed
wire. One end fell to the ground Sput-
tering against the Wet pavement. The

a patrolman kept back the crowd. Mr..
I-nertl, who lives ut S3I IWeiftk street,
only short distance away, vas on his
way home and not knowing what had
occurred slipped through the crowd and
into the street before the officer saw him.
It Is said by byStanderS that he either
DurpOsely touched the live wire or his
hand accidentally came iii contact with
it in passing. Because Of the danger
the crowd refused to so near the body
for a few minutes.
The street railway physician, DR.. G.

Prompt action on the part of the stu
dents of the university prevented an
other outbreak with the town boys last
night. The students conference commit
tee, at Il special meeting, pledged the up
per classmen to see that order was main
tanned and that under classmen be kept
from renewing hostilities. An appeal
was sent to all fraternitieS asking them
to keep their under classmen indoors last
night, and at 9 o'clock, the time set for
the students to collect on he lower cam
pus to march against the town forces.
there was only a handful OF students
present. An appeal from Dr. Charles
Mccarthy, the faculty idol of the stu
dents, and Butch Boyle, tackle on the
football team, brought the bellgerenty
inclined students to their senses and they
dispersed.
The town lads have sworn vengeance
against the students for the severe drub-
bling which the latter gave them Mon
day night, and threaten to attack any
who venture below Gilman street. the
boundary line of the Latin quarter.

miles on each side of these roads the
great part of the population of settlers
live. Beyond these narrow belts are
millions of acres of the best land in the
world and it is safe to say that within
ten years it will be almost entirely taken
up-and American farmers win occupy
great portion of it. No farmer in this
country has to carry his crops far, for
every few miles along the railroads towns
or stations are laid out, and at every
place there is a huge elevator, and some
times several of them, each holding from
10000 to 10000 bushels.
A few paragraphs back, l made the
statement that many American land com
panies are trying to give the impression
that the free homestead lands of the Do
minion are about gone. To show how
ridiculous this is, | will give the figures
which have been secured through w. J.
Kennedy, of the Department of Immigra-
ton, who has made an exhaustive inves-
tigation of this subject According to
the results of his investigation there are
at the present time more than 1OO,-
600 free homesteads already surveyed
and awaiting settlers, and in addi-
ton to those there are vast tracts Of the
best land in the world which have not
yet been surveyed, and which will be
homesteaded.
And from my long experience in the
Dominion West, / confidently believe that
during the next two years nearly all Of
these homesteads vii have been taken up
by good American farmers-the farmers
from our own States who are making
Western Canada what it is to-day. Years
ago the best advice in the world was,
young man, go West" To-day it has
changed in a small way. Now it is:
Young man, go to Western Canada"
