prior TO her death she accused Mrs.
Austin and Spencer of having robbed
her. The arrest took place on Decem-
ber 3. 1899. both Spencer and the Austin
woman being apprehended at the same
time.
The characteristics which marked the
case of nine years ago are similar to
those in the complaints made by Claude
Nasburg, who accused Mrs. Austin of
having gained peculiar influence over
his brother and mother and of having
robbed them. Mrs. Gehricke's daughter
declared nine years ago that her moth
CT had been hypnotized and drawn into
mining transactions engineered by
Spencer and Mrs. Austin. The case was
settled, but Mrs. Gehricke never re-
ceived her money back
Mrs. Gehricke was not the only per-
son to make accusations. Several others
have had transactions with Mrs. Austin,
and their remarks regarding the deals
arc pointed. emphatic and uncompli-
mentary.

Mrs. NJ Curtis living at the Ariel
hotel. had a tidy fortune of $1,000
when she met Mrs. Austin. She is now
~ her old age working as a nurse to

The story of her loss is exactly SINH

deal. and secrecy was the watchword.
Mrs. Curtis said she paid the money
and has since waited for the big coup
10 be pulled on.
Another person. z. H. Waterman,
wrote to Attorney Lloyd saying:
i see in the San Francisco Call that
at last some one dares to take Mrs. T.
you will push your investigation TO the
fullest extent. She was for years in
this same business with De Witt Spen-
Ger, roping in the unsuspecting and

from General O'Brien and his sister.

DENoUNCEs THE WOMAN
James Cameron, an attorney, declared
the woman TO have been engaged In
numerous transactions of an extremely
shady nature and was outspoken in his
denunciations OF her He had full
knowledge of the Gehricke proceedings
and had in his possession newspaper
clippings relating to her arrest. No
sooner did he read in The Call that
Mrs Austin's schemes were under in
vestigation than he gave up the clip

STATUS OF DAUGHTER
According TO those who have known
Mrs. Austin within recent years, she
has told them that Harry Nasburg
was infatuated with her daughter
Helen. The latter is a beautiful girl
Of about 20 years. and shares with her
mother the Nasburg apartments.
Claude Nasburg, who is behind the in
vestigation. declared that, from his
knowledge Of the girl. she was not
aware Of her mothers scheming. An
effort is being made to discover just
what position the girl occupies. She
IS said to be engaged to marry Harry
Nasburg, the engagement being of long
standing. Why the marriage does not
take place is mystery.
Attorney Lloyd called to mind yes
terday the forgery Of the letter heads
70 which his attention had been at
tracted three years ago. He said that
he was called up one day by Frank
Jsynes. general superintendent of the
Western Union telegraph company, who
asked him about request for tele-
graph blanks he was supposed to have
made.
Not having made any such request, :"
saic Lloyd, y went to Jaynes' Office

The state railroad commission held
hearings on ten cases involving al
legged oyerChargos for freight service,
alleged excessive rates ON several diff
terent commodities, passenger train
service aud station facilities. one of
the most important cases involved the
question Of concentration freight rates
on butter and eggs. The petitioners.
the T. II. CoChrane company of Por-
tago and the IT, H. Webb Produce
company OF ReedsburE, alleged that
the railroad companies have recently
cancelled their concentration rates ON
butter and eggs. which has had the
effect of practically doubling the old
rates and has made the dairy produce
business in the interior OF the state un
profitable. r. l.. Cochranc of Portage
appeared for the petitioners. He said
that the business of the Cochrano
company amounted to about $4,000 a
month The railroads, he said, had
delivered a heavy blow to the dairy
produce business at Portage and other
cities in the interior Of the state.

At the original hearing the railroads
did not submit testimony, and after
the ruling was announced asked for
a rehearing to enable them to do so.
This was granted. The Nalvoline

Thomas CoughIin Dies in Fire Near
Menomonee Falls.

Menomonee Falls-Thomas Cough
lin, a farmer, was suffocated in fire re-
Gently in the same house in which his
sister received burns from which she
died three years ago. Mr., Coughlin
was in the village and when he
reached home, two miles northeast Of
here, he saw smoke issuing from the
building He hastily tied his team,
procured a ladder and entered the
second story window, presumably to
rescue valuable papers. He succeeded
in throwing out a trunk, but before
he could do more he was overcome
and expired before help could reach
him. Neighbors took the body out OF
the building before the house was to-
tally destroyed. Mr.. Coughlin was 90
years of age, a bachelor and lived
alone. The cause of the fire is not
known, but it is believed it originated
in the kitchen, which Mr. Coughlin
left Immediately after dinner.

Some people are thin and always re-
main thin, from temperamental rea-
sons. Probably in such cases nothing
can be done to change this personal
popularity.
But there are a large number of peo-
PIE who get tntn, or remain thin, who
naturally would be plump and flcshy
but for some digestive arrangement.
Thin people lack in adipose tissue.
Adipose tissue is chiefly composed OF
fat.
Fat is derived from the oily constit-
ucuts of food.
The tat-making foods arc called by
the Psychologist, Hydrocarbons. This
class of foods are not digested in tho
stomach at all. They are digestcd in
the duodenum, the division of the ali
mcutary canal just below the stomach.
The digestion of fat is mainly, if not
wholly, the work of the paucrcatic
juice. This juice is of alkaline reaC-
tion, and is rendered inert by the addi-
tion of acid. \ hyperacidity of tho
digestive fluids of the stomach passing
down into the duodcuum, DESTROYS
the pancreatIc fluid for digestive pur-
poses. Therefore, the fats are not di-
ge-tod or emul9illcd, and the system is
deprived of its due proportion of oily
constituents. Hence, the patient grows
thin.
