DRIVE OVER PRECIPICE,
Ellsworth (Wis.) Woman and Daughter
Fall Eighty Feet, but Escape
Serious Injury.

ELLSWORTH, Wis, May 11.-[spe-
ciaI Mrs. Michael Murphy Of Lost
Creek and her daughter drove off the
embankment on the east side of the
Rush river dam here yesterday evening;
The embankment is eighty feet high and
it was a miracle that the two women
escaped with their lives.
The horse they were driving became
unruly and before he could be stopped
had dragged them over the precipice.
Mrs. Murphy was seriously injured, but
the girl escaped without a scratch. Their
horse was killed outright
The Ellsworth Light and Power COM
pany had a crew of men at work near
the dam. They picked up the unfortu-

Woman Given Permission to elk Up

MANS STATEMENT DIsCREDITED.

PITTSBURG. Pa, May 11.-After
the exciting and wearing incidents OF
yesterday, Mrs. Boyle had good night
rest in the western penitentiary last
night and awoke today much refreshed.
She is in good spirits and has regalned
much Of her oldtime vivacity. Her ar
rival at the penitentiary last night was
after the hour for retiring and she was
given only night dress, While all her
other clothing and ornaments were taken
from her. She awakened this morning
to find only the prison garb IN her cell.
Mrs. Boyle Has Smile.
Marching in line with the other pris-
oners, Mrs. Boyle smiled as she went to
her first PRISON breakfast and ate hearth
ly. She was given permission by the
matron to make cushions and other
fancy work for the cell, and materials
so. 1t will be determined after ply
steal examination what character OF
work she will be given. Probably she
will be placed either in the kitchen
or in the sewing room.
Boyle, too, slept we'll last night. he
ate heartily at breakfast and submitted
gracefully to the barber, who cropped
his hair closely. Bertillion photographs
and measurements were made today.
Statement Is Discredited.
From all reports that have been re-
ceived here it is not believed any action
will be taken following the statement OF
Boyle last night. The Mercer county
officials dicredit the statement, and the
whole matter probably will be allowed to
drop and be forgotten.

BoYLE's STORY GETS JOLT.
Youngstown CO., Men Describe Death Of
Feeble as an Accident

YOUNGSTOWN, O., May Thames
Boyes story of the death of Daniel
Reeble Jr., which occurred here four
teen years ago, received a severe jolt
today when George Batteiger, who was
near the scene of the accident when
Feeble met his death, related his YER
sion of the case.
Batteiger says he was standing III
front of restaurant a short distance
from the spot where Reeble's body was
found when Feeble fell. He heard the
thud which followed the striking of the
body on the sidewalk and had started
an investigation as to the cause of the
noise when he was met by Michael
Donnelly, a patrolman, who had also
heard the body alight. The two men
walked up to the scene of the accident
and picked up Feeble, who was uncon-
scious and at the point of death.
Batteiger saw no one in the vicinity
in which the accident took place until
joined by Donnelly. Until Batteiger
told his story today, Donnelly had for
gotten Batteiger's presence when the
body was found. He soon recalled Bat
teiger helping him pick up the body,
however, and corroborated his story in
every particular. Donnelly had been in
the vicinity of the accident throughout
the evening and he does not believe
that either Dan Shay or James Boyle
was on his beat throughout the night
He knew them both well.

told Chief Game Warden J. W. Stone that

against Mr.. Edmon6s will come to naught.
He may possibly be reprimanded, however.
The fact that he has consented to take the

appearance probably. will inspire the Sen,

withdrawing the charge of contempt.

Any large or irregular grains may be

be deep. place the corn in the right

low, put them in the basket on the
left. In this way we grade the corn
in a more accurate way than can be
done with a machine.
Before starting the planter, it should
be properly adjusted to the corn. By
having all the deep grained corn in
one basket we can select a planter
plate that will properly handle it. AZ
ter we have planted all the deep corn
We can put in a plate that will prop

To show the importance Of this
work on the stand Of corn the Purdue
experiment station conducted some
tests. Where the corn was properly

nirety-five times out of hundred,
but where the deep and shallow grains
were mixed, the desired drop was Sc

Chicago, Jan. 6.-Harry J. Bauman,

women out of $4,000 in five years,
was given an indeterminite sentence
of from one to ten years in Joliet

Detective Clifton r. Woodbridge.
who prosecuted Bauman, says he has
evidence to prove Bauman married at
least fifty women in Europe and Amer

and valuables and deserted them.
Plans are under way by the states at
torney to obtain wholesale indictments
against Bauman on charges of bigamy
and more than 500 indictments on
charges of swindling. Detective Wool

Bauman. 1t is estimated that he got
$4,000 in Chicago alone. He claims
to descend from a royal family in
Europe and posed as duke. He trav-
eled in almost every city in America
and lived in style. Police pronounce
Bauman as the greatest bigamist of
the age and the prince of all swind-
lers. Even the lawyers he engaged to
defend him after his arrest in Chicago
were swindled out of an aggregate Of
$4,000 At one time Bauman lived at
the Auditorium Annex at an expense
of 800 a day. He also occupied a
mansion on a south side boulevard at
a cost of nearly $1,000 month. He
rode in automobiles and posed as a

From the ears, every one of whica
will grow, We are now to select those
for planting and if we have put away
much more than we will need, we can
Gull out pretty severely. In any case
let us select few of our very best
ears to plant in our most favored soil
from which to gather our seed corn
for next years planting.
In making this selection we should
be guided by the standard Of excellence
described by the score card of the In
diana Corn Gfowers' Association as it
represents the careful thought of many
of tho best corn growers of the state.
For this section of the state the ear
should be ten inches long and seven
and one half inches in circumference
measured at one-third of the distance
from the butt.
Here is an opportunity for the farm
err to exercise that apparently scarce
article comon sense. If the soil is de-
ficient in available plant food as evil
denced by preceding crops. a smaller
ear, one more in keeping with it's pro-
ducing power should be used until by
judicious management the fertility is
increased.
The ear should be cylindrical in
shape, or in other words carry its size
we'll towards the tip. 1t should have
about twenty straight rows filled
with regular. even sized, deep kernels.
These kernels should fit snugly togeth-
err both at the crown and at the tip be-
tween the rows and between the kerr
nels in the row. They should also be

kernels are usually shallow, but if
they are too rough. immaturity is
suggested. The depth should be car
ried we'll to the tip to insure a large

cure greater uniformity of the ker-
mel.

formed ears to plant the entire crop,

several different forms. For instance
some animals may carry the germ for
several weeks, others several months
before aborting. This disease is often
times introduced into a healthy herd
by an infected animal being brought
into the herd. While the healthy con-
dition of the animals are not impaired
and the secretion Of milk not decreas-
ed during the early stage, the owner
is ignorant of the fact that this one
animal is playing havoc among the en-
tire herd, until he is awakened to the
fact that something is wrong by one
animal after another aborting.
It is now time for him to be up and
doing. He Immediately tries to stamp
out the disease by caring for all the
ailing animals but as previously stated
too much stress can not be laid upon
the necessity of protecting the healthy
animals as we'll as caring for the all
ing ones. for when once the germs of
abortion infect animals in a herd, the
germ is readily transmitted 70 the rest
of the herd. thus when treating one
animal. all in the herd should be
treated likewise.
