 SURGEON
Woman Hid Behind POrtiere to Avenge
 Her Wrongs.

NEW YoRK-Sarah Koten. a pro- iessional nurse is in the Tombs prison on the charge of murder. The evil dence shows Ii to be one of the most deliberate crimes that have been com mittcd.for a long time
 Miss Koten had been intimate for some time with Dr. M Auspitz, the well known surgeon. On Wednesday evening she called the doctor up by telephone and told him that his ser vices were needed at once in a very sfious case. He asked the nature of tn case and sh told him at length. He said he would start at once and would call at her rooms and take her with him to assist
 The doctor drove in his automobile across to West Thirty-ninth street and hurried to her apartment. He was surprised to find no one there. He sat down to wait for a moment. when revolver was fired directly at his breast The bullet reached his heart and death was instantaneous.
 When the police arrived the woman. who was just recovering from her ex- citement, gave himself up and frankly confessed the whole crime. She said she had sent a false call to the doctor and when he arrived had hidden be- hind the portiere. from which ambush she had fired. She scarcely waited to be asked her motive. but declared that the doctor had wronged her, had re- fused to marry her and was about to marry another.

PRAISE FoN SOLDIERS
 IN ALASKAN SERVICE.

The soldiers of the signal corps of the army in Alaska are receiving com mendations from the war department for their bravery in keeping the telc- graph lines in working order through out the winter. The Army and Navy Register publishes the following com mendation of the service of the men:
 Reports which come from Alaska continue to record instances of bray cry and endurance of the officers and men of the signal corps on duty in con nection with the military telegraph lines in that territory The winter has been severe one in Alaska and much hardship has been endured by the signal corps men in keeping the lines in working order. Considerable trouble has been had with with the Valdez Fairbanks line which has re- suited in hazardous work for the ope- rators. who as soon as teh line goes down, must set out to trepair the trou- ble Since last October violent bliz- zards have been raging across the country traversed by this line. Signal corps men and mail carriers have been the only ones attempting the journey across the summit on this trail during bad weather Others whose business has called them to travel this wa have been content to postpone their plans, as milder weather lessened the risk of death from xposure. There has been four feet of snow across the trail, and fallen trees and litter have blocked 1t so that travel is slow at the best. Dur ing one of the breaks in communication over the wires Infantryman Marion Loften was lost in the woods. along the third section of the line. Sergeant Hogan. who reported the loss, said that Loften was walking alone and had ap- parently wandered off the trail dur ing one of the driving blizzards. Lof- ten was subsequently found by a search party. John w. Meehan. stationed at Tonsina, became snowblind and was lost in the woods in October. He was finally found and brought safely to his station. Private Moore. on his way from Northfork to Gulkana, arrived in chestochena on the morning of Oct. II with his legs terribly swollen from freezing. Fred c. Ryan, stationed at Tonsina, was reported laid up at lei kell with a sprained ankle. Parker Cole. on his way from the cutoff at Liscum. lost eight of his sixteen pack animals. Other packers have been re- ported stalled along the trail at Wort mans. A number of men caught by storms along the line were compelled to put up at roadhouses. and for days were cut off from their stations be- cause of storms or exhaust Jn."

Death Results From Injuries Sustained
in Leaping Over an Embark.
ment at Minnehafla.
The Survivors Are a Wife, Five Sons
and One Daughter, All Resi-
dents of This State.

W. W. Gotten, father of O. A.
Gotten of this place, died in the
soldiers home hospital at Minnehaha
Sunday from injuries received in a
leap off a high embankment
the previous Thursday afternoon.
The old gentleman was taken from
here to the Fergus Falls insane asylum
about ten days ago. The officers of
that institution suggested that the
soldiers' home was the proper place
for him and he was taken there and
was beyond control from the start.
The first day he ran through the hos
pital crying fire alarming all the
patients. He was then shut up in a
room in the basement of the hospital.
Thursday afternoon he tore out the
window casing and, climbing out, ran
to the edge of the high embankment
near by and leaped over. He was
found an hour later in an unconscious
condition and taken to the hospital
where he died on Sunday without
regaining consciousness.
Mr.. Gotten is survived by a wife,
five sons and one daughter. The sons
are William W., Sartelle; Orlando A.,
Princeton; John e., Lawrence; Frank
D., st. Cloud; Era M, Minneapolis.
The daughter is Mrs. Winnie Wyburg,
Annandale.
The body of Mr.. Gotten was shipped
to Annandale and inferred in the
SOuthside cemetery.

struggled under heavy loads assumed
for my friends, and to rebuild the
town after fires, when no one else
would do it, risking and repeatedly
mortgaging my life's savings to do
so, and without gaining or trying to
gain for myself.
During those 20 years have paid
$4,000 in taxes and given one-third
as much more, voluntarily, for religi-
Gus, educational and other causes that
taxes do not provide for, and spent
all my time, strength and income in
improving town and village"
We have known Mr.. Houlton for
more than thirty years, and we know
the part he has taken in the up-build
ing of Elk River and the surrounding
country. It is passing strange that
ublic-spirited men like Mr.. HoultOn
in almost every community incur the
enmity of petty politicians and small
demagogues. Some people are so
constituted that they cannot forgive
man for making success of his own
business; they are insanely jealous of
successful, enterprising, public
spirited man. Take Mr.. Houlton for
example: he is a model citizen in
every respect; he has contributed more
toward the material prosperity of Elk
River than any other ten men: he is
by far the heaviest Taxpayer in that
village and in the town as we'll: he has
always been foremost in every move
ment for the betterment of his town
and the advancement of the interests
of his fellow-citizens, and yet he is
disliked by many of his small-souled,
envious neighbors. Men like W. II.
Houlton are never appreciated until
they have crossed the ''great divide"
and are beyond the reach of censure
or praise.

Bears Too Numerous.

Owen Newton, AL Smith, Elmer
Chapman and Clarence Hill came
home on Saturday with two deer which
they-or the Indians-had shot. They
say they killed one apiece and that a
bear carried off the smallest while
they slept. In the morning they
traced Bruin to it's lair in big cave,
but upon investigation decided to re-
trace their footsteps with all possible
rapidity. They saw upon peering into
that cave about ten pair of eyes, and
heard such growing as they never
heard before. "We would not have
been afraid to tackle bear apiece, "
said Mr.. Newton, ''but ten was too
uneven a match, so we deemed it wise
to vamoose. Scared? Not bit, sir. :"

Let Us Have Substantial Bridge.


For the first time the writer on Sat-
urday viewed the new bridge in course
OF erection across the Rum river south
OF the village. We we're surprised
to find that the iron work of the bridge
extended from the east bank only 100
feet, and about 30 feet on the west end,
over the main channel of the river, was
to be constructed of wood resting on
dimsy timber piling. We Immediately
called the attention Of Supervisors
Schmidt and Schilling to the matter,
and we are glad to know that the plans
have been changed so that the entire
bed of the river will be spanned by
substantial structure. If the bridge
had been completed as originally
planned the probabilities are that the
first high water would have carried
out the wooden part of the bridge, in
any event the piling, which were
taken from the old bridge, would not
have lasted more than three or four
years when it would have to be re-
placed. Let US have a good SUBJ
stantial iron bridge with well-protected
abutments, one that will last for many
years. We are glad that the Joint
committee of the town and county
boards is giving close attention to the
building of this bridge.

Adventure on Little Rice Lake.

A couple of Indians came to town
yesterday looking for the Jones boys.
These Indians had two guns with them
which they wished to return to the
owners-honest Injuns, to be sure.
While conversing with the redmen they
told the following story:
About two weeks ago three boys
arrived at Little Rice lake to hunt
ducks. (These boys were Ralph, Lee
and Eldon Jones.) The wind was
blowing hard and the waves rolling
high, when the two largest boys put
out upon the lake in sectional hunt
ing boat. The little boy would not 60.
Ducks were very plentiful and the
two boys dropped dozens of them.
At last they both fred at one time and
the boat shot from under them, Dump
ing them in the water. The bottom of
the lake is mostly slime so the boys
had all they could do to get on their
feet. They at last succeeded, how
ever, and eventually reached their
boat and stood on it's bottom, stick
ing a paddle apiece into the mud to
prevent them from drifting away.
Seeing their plight, Eldon, the
younger boy, who was on shore,
rushed OFF to a farm house, a long
distance off, to secure help and the
farmer accompanied him to the lake
and launched fat bottom boat to 90
to the rescue. Two Indians also
showed off canoe at about the same
time and reached the boys first. When
rescued they had been standing in the
water about two hours. Their teeth
were chattering and they were mighty
blue around the gills. And-their
guns were in the bottom of the deep.
Upon being brought ashore they
FASTENED to the farmers house.
warmed up and dried their clothes.
Then they returned home.
81 But the loss of the guns worried
them and they returned next day to
look for them, but to no purpose. The
Indians had also been searching for
the guns and maybe found them. The
Indians had also gathered in the
ducks.
When brought to town the barrels
of the guns were clean within and
shining although they had been fired
a dozen or more times when lost, but
the outside of the firearms we're muddy
for the Indians 'had just dug them
up"
