capitated, armless and legless body
Of the young woman found in the

which was securely sewn In 4 gunny
sack. may have been thrown into the
water At Detroit and carried down the
river by the current until 1t reached
the creek. which is only = few miles
below the city. Consequently omcers
are securing the city docks In hopes
Of Anding some tangible evidence.
The authorities are endeavoring to

who was reported missing from her
home. on Second street. Aug. IL. Mrs.
Weber came here during the summer
from Minneapolis and her husband
has been in the city searching for her.
The county physicians feel certain
that the body has only been In the

All great events have more or less of
attending circumstances, some crafty
ing and others disastrous. The events
Of carnival week had been harmonious
and without incident save the arrest of
. man for using loud and boisterous
language. until Thursday afternoon
when the attendance was at its best
and the concession men were squirting
up little. In his efforts to induce
more chances on his air gun game. the
young man running the shooting gal
lery thought to show the value of one
of his prizes, which was 32-caliber
revolver. He didn't know it was
loaded" and wild ball from the gun
he was displaying penetrated the breast
of little Ernest Stone, son of Mrs. N.
Stone. living on A. J. Walruth's ranch.
The lad happened along at that time
and was = disinterested spectator.
When he was struck he put his hands
to the place and stood erect until the
blood appeared. Then it was that he
turned pale and was caught by his
brother, Leonard, and taken to the
doctors Office. They found the ball
protuding the skin At his back, and the
little fellow was brave while the ball was
removed. The physicians were unable
to determine whether the ball pene-
trated the body or whether it followed
the rib. They have good reasons to be-
lieve the latter. Ernest was taken to
the Pioneer hotel where he had the
constant attention of his mother, and
kept in good cheer all the while.
The young man who fired the gun
was taken in charge by deputy sheriff
and lodged in Jail, and held until Satur-
day morning when he was released.

Auburn, April 14-(Special. )-The address on Thomas Jefferson delivered by Prof. w. M. Thornton of the University of Vir- ginia. in L.angdon hall Wednesday even ing, was in every way most notable event. The hall was filled with an im- mense audience that gave the speaker the closest attention The address was a com prehensive, scholarly survey of Thomas Jefferson, the man; the forces that went to make him and the outstanding notable achievements of his career. Professor Thornton. born and reared under the shadow of Monticello, educated in the University of Virginia, which stands as a monument to Jefferson, came saturated with the Jeffersonian traditions, and he spoke with peculiar appropriateness. Pro- lessor Thornton is dean of the engineering department of the University of Virginia

EDUCATION TOO
 MUCH FOR NEGRO


 St. Louis, April 14-"To what source do you attribute your mental condition?'' Approximation. I'm negro, and have no business with a college education"
 This question and answer propounded and replied to by Louis O. Graves, grad uate- of Yale, was the climax of what Judge Taylor of the court of criminal correction today declared was the most unique defense he had ever encountered.
 Graves was charged with forging a check. He acted as his own attorney, called himself to the stand and conducted his own examination
 After testifying he had served terms in the penitentiaries at Jefferson City. Mo. and Chester, H., and that he had been an inmate of five insane asylums, he asked himself: Did you ever try to commit suicide?"
 Five times" was the response 'I jumped from the third tier of cells and cracked my skull. I took poison in Cen tral police station. I tried to hang myself in the peritentiary and twice I tried to kill myself when ] felt desire of com- hitting a crime coming over me-"
 Graves said he had no recollection of the forgery with which he is now charged and he was remanded to jail to await possible action by the grand jury.

 A number of objections have been made to the proposed route, and the matter will be thoroughly investigated by the present council
 John Stump was elected city clerk by the council.
 At the meeting last Thursday night John F. Weaver was elected to the position, but owing to the fact that the salary was cut from 500 to S75 per month he refused the place. It would have been a personal sacrifice for him to have taken the place as his present position pays more.
