Owing to the bad weather on Ar
Dor day, the open air exercises ap-
pointed for that day were all held

Three excellent concerts occurred
during the week. The Methodist
choir, under the direction of Dean
Carson; the Valley City Symphony
Orchestra, led by Professor Froysca;
and the fourth recital of the Music

audiences and gave general satisfac-

That Valley City possesses real

WIDOW :! D g. i !. B beaten T ! )!
: TO Death IN HOME

Rockford, Ill.,, May S.-Her head
battered almost out of human sembl-
ance, the body of Mrs. Margaret Grip
pen, a widow, GO years old, was found
in her home in which she lived alone
in the village of Winlebago, eight
miles west of here.
After beating the woman to death
the murderer tried to burn the house,
but an accident frustrated the de-
sign.
Rockford authorities, who W ere
called into the case, are of the opin-
ion that two, possibly three, men
were concerned in the crime, the mo-
tive of which possibly was robbery.
May Hide Another Crime.
1t was suggested by the states at
torney and corner after investigation
that the murder was committed to
hide another crime.
Incomplete descriptions of a man,
who was peddling polish and of a
tramp who was begging about the
village, have been furnished the sher-
if and police and a search is being
made for them.

Washington, May S.-After long
wrangle, the Indian Office today de-
cided to reject all bids for horses for
breeding purposes on the Standing
Rock and Cheyenne Indian reserva-
tions on the ground that the bids
were excessive. The action comes as
a hard blow to Wilson Eyer and Will
son Richards, both Of Dickinson, and
Walter S. Parkins of Mandan, the
lowest bidders. These men had und-
erbid competitors Al cents per mare
on 1900 head. The action of the In
dian office is regarded as little
strange in view of the fact that the
bids were considerably lower than
those of the past two years. Both
Senator McCumber and Representa-
tive Hanna took hand in the matter
but without avail.

Pennewi;I for Chief Justice

1t is generally conceded that Judge
James Penpewill of Dover, (Rep.)
brother Of the Governor and the pre-
sent resident Judge of Kent county
will be appointed as Chief Justice.
He is universally regarded as one of
the brightest men on the. bench. A
Statewide movement has been start
ed by the. dry" forces in the inter-
est of Alexander M. Daily Of Whining
ton, and until recently Democratic
leader in Kent county, for a judge
ship. Mr.. DAILY was State chairman
of the "drys" at the special local
option election in 1907. AS the Pro-
hibition party endorsed Governor
Pennewill the "drys" are urging re-
presentation on the bench through Mr..
DAILY. AS Judge William H. Boyce
of Georgetown Oem. Resident Judge
of Sussex will, in all probability be
reappointed, and, as the Democrats
will have two of the six judges, the
movement in Mr.. Daly's behalf is to
make him judge-at large The names
of William T. Lyman and Victor B.
Woolley, Democratic lawyers of Will
mingtOn, are also mentioned for Judi
cial honors. Walter H. Hayes and
Frank L. Speakman who, this month
completed two terms-eight months
as Prothonotary of New Castle county,
are being urged by their supporters
for resident judge of that county. Nc
one has been definitely named as yet
for resident judge of Kent county.
The appointment of the new bench OF
six member s, who constitute all of
the courts of Delaware, is the most
important duty that Governor Penne-
will will be called upon to perform.
