ITS CORN HARVEST
Wayne County's Product This
Year Is of Very Fine
Quality.
WEATHERED RAINS WELL

Corn is being harvested by Wayne
county now and within the next few
days large quantities of It will be
brought to the local markets. The
corn is Of fine quality this year. The
heavy rains and strong winds Of the
early summer, which it was thought
would have such direful effect on the
crop and play havoc with the outlook
for this season, apparently did not
harm the corn in the least, as the gold
en- ears on many OF the stalks are larg-
er than ever before.
However, the corn is about fifteen
to thirty days late this fall There is
no special cause for this, 1t is said, ex-
cept that the season just happens to
be . late one. Last year corn was
received in this city during the middle
and latter part Of September.

Murder Of Mayor Won Schoenebeck Cleared Up by the Renarka-
BILE Confession of Captain Won Goeben.

The confession of Captain Won Goo
he murdered Major Won ~Schoenebeck
whose wife was Won Goeben's mis-
tress. has stirred up military circles in
Berlin scarcely less than did the sen
sational revelations of the Won Moltke-
Harden trial.
Captain Won Goeben's confession was
wrested from him by confronting him
with the burned fragments of the
black mask With which the murderer
concealed his features and which was
afterward discovered in the stove of
his rooms.
The evidence seems to indicate that
the murder was committed in cold
blood at the instigation of Frau Won
S~choencbeck.
The chain of evidence as constructed
shows that on Christmas eve Captain
Won Goeben bought a black mask at Il
shop in Allenstein, insisting on large
eye holes.
The sentry on duty in the courtyard
of the old castle. opposite Major Won
Schoenebeck's villa, heard a shot just
before midnight. but saw nothing.
An hour later a man in civilians
clothes came up to the sentry and
asked the time and went on toward
the villa. where he met the patrol
coming to relieve the sentry.
He thereupon tried to hide in a dark
recess of the villa; but. the corporal
being suspicious and going after the
stranger, he took to his heels.
The wife had hidden the mask in hel

He cleared the edge of the bears pit,
but his body fell beside the beaver
pond lifeless.
Maher had been employed in the zoo
for several years. He started to prune
a tree which was just between the
beaver pond and the large bear pit.
After Maher left the tree at the noon
hour for lunch he remarked to sew
eral Of his fellow workers that the big
bears in the pit had been sitting on
their launches looking up at him.
81 tell you," said Maher, 81 wouldn't
want to fall into that pit with those
fellows. They would make short work

Maher went back to work in the aft
ernoon and climbed to the top branch

ground. The beavers had managed to
get through the cement casing of the
pond Enclosure. They had for several

above the hungry bears, Maher swung
himself to and fro to get momentum.
Then, releasing his hold, Maher hurled
himself through the air, hoping to clear
the edge of the pit and drop in the
beaver pond.
Maher. however. misjudged the dis.
lance. His head struck another branch.
SO great was the force caused by the
momentum he had gained in swinging
that his neck was broken. His body
fell on the edge of the beaver pond.
DR.. Eicher of Fordham hospital was
called. He said Maher had died al
most instantly.
The tree after swaying for a moment
fell directly across the bear pit. Had
Maher not swung himself to the other
branch he would have been carried into
the pit and probably killed by the
bears. which had not yet been fed, be
fore help could be given him.
