Harry Whitney's Experience Az
an Arctic Sportsman.

The fortunes of Polar exploration
have thrust Harry Whitney, the New
Haven sportsman, prominently into
the foreground of one of the most in
teresting controversies of history.
The mere fact that he was the first
white man who met the emaciated
Cook when the latter was returning
from his Polar search makes his testi-
mony most important toward settling
the claims of the Brooklyn physician.
Moreover, his shipping southwark
with Peary, after he was compelled
to leave behind DR.. Cooks instru-
ments, serves only to accenuate his
importance in the eyes of the world,
divided as it is into rival Peary and
Cook camps.
But it should not be forgotten that
Mr.. Whitney has, apart from his rela-
tons with Peary and Cook, won some
very honorable laurels as a sports
man pioneer. Until Mr.. Whitney set
out for the arctic on his hunt, no
sportsman had ever penetrated into
that waste and desolate region. As a
sportsman pure and simple Mr.. Whit
ney spent two years above the Arctic
Circle, having planned his campaign
for securing the best of the Arctic
game as carefully as Cook or Peary
planned theirs.
He has contracted to write the full
account Of hunting expedition and of
his relations with Cook and Peary for
the Outing Magazine. The first in
stallment will appear in the Deem
Der number of Outing.

BOY GETS LIFE,
ADMITS HE LIED
TO SAVE MOTHER.
Nebraska Lad, Ia, Sees Her Freed
of Killing Father, Repu-
dates Confession.

Sidney, Neb., 0ct.-Ten minutes
after Andrew Krupnicke, IA years
had been sentenced in circuit court
here to life term in the Nebraska
penitentiary for the murder of his
father, he confessed to the Sheriff
that he admitted the killing to save
his mother, who previously had been
charged with the crime. Less than
an hour before the charge of murder
against the mother had been dismiss
ed.
The remarkable confession is with
out precedence in the annals of the
State. Officials will conduct thor
ough investigation to determine the
truth or falsity of young Krupnicke's
statement.
Anton Krupnicke was a wealthy
farmer living few miles from Sid
ney. On the night of June 20 he
arose from his bed, got a drink OF
water and sat down at the kitchen
table. While sitting there, a bullet
from a rifle was fired into his right
temple, producing almost instant
death.
Mrs. Krupnicke telephoned the
Sheriff here that robbers had entered
the house, stolen 500 and then killed
her husband. The money and the
rifle were found wrapped in Mrs
Krupnicke's apron and buried neal
the stable. She was arrested anc
charged with murder.
