BILE before Judge Wilbur of the
juvenile court, the friendless widow
earned his fee by sweeping offices,
scrubbing floors and washing
clothes.
The case was won. Mrs. Schelps
proved herself competent to care
for her own.
With a capital of 50 she returned
to San Francisco. She worked,
drudged, scrimped for two months,
to secure money to leave for some
place where she could be at peace.
Finally she gathered sufficient
money for passage to Denver. Even
there she feared the long arms of
her daughters wealthy kinsmen, so
she sought sanctuary farther, and
finally found it and peace on a
little farm just beyond Chicago.

WRECK SURVIVOR
KILLED on CAR
Frank Bassett, Saved When Steamer

Son, Electrocuted.

Frank Bassett. one of the survivors
of the collision between the steamers
Frank II. Goodyear and the james B.
Wood In Lake Huron, May %, which
resulted In the sinking OF the former
and the loss of Bassett's wife and
child, was electrocuted near New
Baltimore, Monday night, while trying
to adjust a trolley on the roof OF .
suburban car of which he was the
conductor.
The car was nearing New Baltimore,
bound toward Detroit. when some
thing went wrong with the trolley.
Bassett climbed to the roof OF the car
to put the auxiliary trolley In place.
In doing so II is thought he accidental
ly brought the iron In contact with
the high tension feed wires at the SIDE
of the track and the current passed
through his body. killing him Instant
ly.
Bassett's body rolled from the roof
of the car TO the ground and the pas
sengers were Mortified when they
learned what had happened. The car
was held until the arrival OF the cor
oner from New Baltimore and then
proceeded on Its way with another
man In Bassett's place.
Bassett had been In the employ OF
the street car company since June ..
He had been steward on the ill-fated
Goodyear, but the memory OF the
tragedy which robbed him OF his wife
and little son caused him to quit the
lakes for good. The boy, Johnnie. II
will be recalled, was torn from his
mothers arms by piece OF falling
wreckage and Bassett tried in vain TO
save him.
Two little girls, Edna, aged IL, and
Frances, aged 8, are now left father

President Taft has gone as far east
as he can and remain In the United

perhaps are doing as much good by

be remarked that both are limited by
their official responsibilities, and are
not free to make all kinds Of promises

like TO promise better commercial re-

they respectively represent. but both
are hampered by the same theory that

"If anyone were to ask what was

same question were put to voltaire or

get the reply Love yourself and de-

According to DR.. Locke, the ethics,

departed Byron, were no more soul

STEALING BARN
CASE IN COURT

An attempt to steal a barn was the
last case to come before Justice
Charles Fielding, among the many
new and novel" ones which have
come to his court
Several years ago, Isaac Schlitz, of
Carmel, erected barn on farm be-
longing to the late VIM. H., Miller.
The farm was sold three times, the
last time in 1907. The present owner
was surprised the other day to find
that Schlitz had begun moving the
barn off the farm; he would not desist
on request but contended that the barn
was his; that he had been given per-
mission by Mr.. Miller, before his
death, to remove the barn, as he had
erected it. at his; own expense and he
intended doing SO.
A warrant was procured and Mr.,
Schlitz was arrested charged with ma
licious mischief E%
He was brought before Justice
Fielding this morning, where the case
was threshed out. 1t appears that
Mr.. Schiltz made no effort to assAyt
his claim during the lifetime of Mn
Miller, nor during the several times
that the property was sold, once under
foreclosure, and now three years after
the last sale he goes upon the props
erty and attempts to remove the barns
Mr.. Schiltz finally waived a hearing
and gave bail for his appearance to
court.
Later he agreed to place the barb
back in as good condition as it was
before, and this, when done, will prob
ably settle the matter
