Want OF a Mower-Here's What the
Barber Was Doing.
There's sequel to the story OF the
shaveless week at Anoka, which it
will be remembered happened along
about Arbor day. Arbor day didn't
have anything to do with the case,
except that the men of Anoka were
too busy trying to uproot whiskers to
devote many hours to tree planting.
But that's all past and gone. There's
fresh news in the situation.
Guy Wilberger, the barber who left
Anoka in it's sad bewhiskered plight,
has been guilty Of another offense.
He tried to elope with girl. Guiltier
to head off the wedding.
1t was down at Beaver City that the
elopement was attempted. At Nor.
ton. Kan, it was blocked. Miss Alma
Zine, aged sixteen, was the intended
bride of the Anoka barber who left
go to seed while he sought help
meet Miss Zine Is the daughter OF
a family living near Beaver City and
incidentally reputed to be wealthy
The girl has been attending the Beav
er City high school. She was said tc
be worth several thousand dollars in
her own name. But what mattered
that? Wilberger had been visiting
relatives at Beaver City off and on
That's how he came to get acquainted
with Alma Zine. And that's why he
left the whiskers Of Anoka to grow w
and look like a scraggly, unmowed
| lot.
Saturday morning Alma left the
high school grounds at 8 o'clock She
and Guy. Guy and she, started to Nor
ton in a carriage, intending marriage
But that's where their plans wen,
wrong. Irate papa appeared in Beaver
City, learned Of the elopement, sci
officers on the trail and recovered his
daughter before the ceremony tool
place. Guy was placed under ares
and all because he failed to get the
ceremony completed before the Off
GERS came along. In that case it i!
to be presumed the enraged and an
gered parent would have forgiven al
and blessed them, the children.

AGED PRISONER GUILTY
MAN, sEVENTY.oNE, CONVICTED
OF KILLING WIFE.
LET OFF WITH MANsLAueHTER

Evidence Showed That He Poisoned
His Wife, But on Account Of His
Extreme Age, the Jury Compromised
on a Verdict Of Manslaughter.
Miller S. d., May 1.-THE jury in
the Kammel murder case returned a
verdict after celebrating for ten
hours of manslaughter in the first
degree against the seventy-year-old
defendant. Four ballots were taken,
the jury standing eight for conviction,
as charged, and four for acquittal.
However, on the fifth ballot com
promise was effected, resulting as
above stated. Those voting for con
viction were Riley, wilkins, Spers
Cook, Nickerson, Moncur. Johnson and
Furman; while Eaton, Chase. Rowen
and Wangsness were for acquittal
Gustave Kammel was charged with
having poisoned his wife last Deem
Der by putting poison in the oatmeal
The evidence was circumstantial, but
the reputation of the defendant where
he lived was not good which no doubt
aided materially in his conviction
Sentence. will be passed today by
Judge Boucher, II an appeal is not
taken.
The crime for which Gustave Kan
mel stands convicted was committed
near this city in the month of Deem
Der when his wife, from whom he hat
recently separated, was found dead
and a son who lived with her was very
sick with symptoms of poisoning.
An examination of the dead wo
mans stomach by chemist revealed
large quantities of arsenic and sew
eral circumstances served to place
the aged husband under suspicion. Il
was known that he had sought t
title to property which he was seeking
to sell, and he had repeatedly made
remarks tending to show that he
would be pleased to have her die So
that ne might not be hampered b!
her opposition. With the none!
which he was to receive for the SALE
of his land he was planning a visit t.
the old country and it is thought tina
this disappointment embittered hin

bers OF the city library board at this
time on the proposition of the board
taking over and maintaining the pres
ent public library which was started
by the Woman's club and which has

then pass into the hands Of the II

library would be met from the city
