GETS NAME
FROM MAD STONE"
Otto Borman Says Peculiar
Stone Is Now in Posses
sion of Dyer Man.

Otto C. Bormann, in talking to some
Chicago newspapermen at Lake Woods
park last night delved back into his
tory bit and he had attentive
audience, too. Mr. Bormann told how
Tolleston came to have Its name
"A good many people have the err
.roneous idea that it originally
Tolleston," said Mr. Bormann, but that
is not the case, The name has a yet
more interesting history. OF course
George Tolleston was one OF the early
settlers in these parts. and he was a
most interesting character. In the
early days Mr. Tolfe used to hunt
great deal. and 1T was not uncom-
mon sight to see deer hanging near
his house in the trees.
1T is also known to early settlers
that maidstone, so called was a pre-
cious possession. II has been a tradi-
ton among the common people that
certain stones possess the power of
curing the bite of mad dogs. These
stones are kept in certain places and
when a person is bitten by a mad dog
and there Is danger of terrible suffer
ing and a death in great agony on ac-
count of hydrophobia, the maidstone is
applied to the wound. and the patient
is cured.
We'll. Mr.. Toile. killed a big buck
deer one time, and he found a maidstone
in the stomach of the animal. This
stone became famous in the whole
region. and 1t was called Tolle's Stone.
Finally in time the name was shorten
ed. and 1t became Tolleston. That is
the way the town of ToIleston came 20
get it's name.
This same maidstone is now in the
| town of Dyer and is used by people
who are bitten by mad dogs. 1t is of a
blush tint. and after II is applied to d
4 bite 1t becomes greenish in hume. show
t Ing that 1t absorbs poison There is
an old tree in Tolleston, at Third ave-
niue and Chicago street that must be
/ one hundred years old. 1t was used
as deer tree in the old time. and its
branches hung heavily with deer when
the hunting was good in this region.

MURDER PREMEDITATED
Crown Prosecutor Reports on killing
81 of LadN In Whiting.

d Rome. April 9.--The crown prosecu-
tor has drawn up report cmbodying
the results of the invest CATION into
the killing of Princess Giulia Trigona
pi SAINT Ella. lady in waiting TO Queen
Helena, by Lieutenant Baron Palermo.
The conclusion is that Palermo is
guilty OF preneditated homicide. He
dismisses the defense based on Pa
.tcrno's assertion that he committed
the crime because Of jealousy. In the
belief that the princess was about TO
leave him for another friend, Signor
Scrrao. This plea the prosecutor con-
siders absurd, as on the eve of the
crime Palermo wrote o Serrao in very
cordial terms with reference to the
princess.
The prosecutor argues that the crime
was due to the decision Of Princess
Trigona to abandon Palermo. and to
the fact that Palermo was angered at
losing $4,000, which he expected to re-
ceive from her to pay his most urgent
debts.
Finally. the prosecutor doubts the
sincerity Of the attempt OF palermo TO
commit suicide, expressing the belief
that he wounded himself merely to in
fluencc public opinion.

ton. II Is not believed either will

The attempt to end two lives was

that the young woman had brought to

It was after a revolver duel with
George Koerncr that Dania killed his
siX-year-old daughter. saying he want
ed her to die with him That killing
took place after DANA was badly
wounded.
The authorities found letters in
Dania's bed and in the girls purse
which indicated that Dania feared
being hanged for killing his daughter.
There was "A strong attachment be-
tween the man and his adopted daugh-
ter. and She visited him constantly at
the hospital
During such visits they were closely
watched. Tho letters, six in number,
were written In the hospital ward. The
deed carefully planned, was carried
out after the lights in the ward had
been eNtinguished

would die. to- day made the following
statement Of the shooting:
