M|SIR|AL FOR MRS. N 'REE
louisiana Woman Accused of Murder
Must Face Jury for the
Second Time

Opelousas, La, Nov. "A mIstrial
was recorded IN the Mckee case yes
terday after the jury, which had de-
liberated on the case since 1910 7. m,
Thursday. reported to the court that
there was no possibility of agreeing
on a verdict According 10 Foreman
Hida1go.
Failure to reach an immediate YER
dict of acquittal and vindication was
sorely disappointing to Mrs. McRee,
whose face blanched when the fore
man reported that his men could not
agree Her husband who has stood by
her in face of the charges. felt the dis
appointment almost keenly as did
his wife Mrs. McRee was downcast
when led away TO Jail.
History of the Case
The defendant is Mrs. Zee Runge
McRee, aged 80, mother Of four child
rem. wife of a Texas and Pcifc Rail
way official, and member of an old
and prominent Mississippi family.
The Slain-Allan Garland, aged %.
unmarried, and member Of a South
Louisiana family, prominent socially
and politically.
The Crime-Allan Garland was shot
three times in the back and almost in
stantly killed by Mrs. McRee in the
bedroom of her home in Opelouses, on
the morning of Sept. u, 1911. No eye
witnesses; no evidence of a struggle.
Motive Presented by the State-Al-
legged intimacy between the deceased
and the defendant, and a desire by Mrs.
McRee to prevent her husband from
gaining this knowledge.
The Defense-Mrs. McRee testified
that she killed Garland in defense of
her honor, asserting that he had mis-
taken her friendly interest in him, and
had sought to harm her during the
absence of her husband.
Result Not Unexpected
The result was not unexpected by
the majority of spectators who have
crowded the court room since the day
he trial opened twelve days ago and
who knew that the bitter prejudice
aroused in St. Landry parish by the
Mrs. McRee made it almost impossible
| to secure twelve men who could agree
| on a verdict. Opposed to the natural
sympathy that goes out to a woman,
Especially when the plea is set up that
| she shot in defense of her honor, there
| was the popularity of the deceased and
| the large political and social influence
of the Garland family. Even religious
| prejudice entered largely into the trial
| because of Mrs McRee's membership
| in a Masonic order on the other hand.
| and the overwhelmingly Catholic pop
ulation Of st. Landry parish, of which
the GarlandS are a part

SEDWEEK TO GO
TO SAN diego
FORMER CALUMET PASTOR WILL
LEAVE DAYTONA, FLORIDA,
MARCH I TO ACCEPT
NEW CALL.

The Daytona, Florida, News says:
Rev. L. Sedweek, who came 10 this
city last fall from Calumet, Mich, ac-
companied by his wife and daughter,
TO act as pastor Of the First NJ. E.
church, has accepted a call to San Die
go, Cal. and will leave for that place
the first OF March.
Mr. Sedweek says he greatly re-
grets parting with the members of
his congregation and other friends
in this city, but the move is a mat
ter of necessity on account of Mrs.
Sedweek's health, which was his real
object in coming south. Mrs. Sed-
week had spent some time i'm San
Diego and her health was greatly inn
proved while there, and Mr.. Sedweek
took ii for granted that she would re-
ceive the same beneficial result in
Daytona, but unfortunately this does
not seem to have been the case.
Mr.. Sedweek is preacher of mark
ed ability and will find a larger field
for his talent in San Diego but his
departure is a decided loss to Daytona
and he and his wife and daughter will
be greatly missed in this city where
they have made many warm friends.

81 CHYNOWETH
HOME FROM WAR
WHILE IN MEXICO He MET A
BATCH OF INSURGENTS AT
sNEEzE TOWN AND THEY
RAN AWAY.

Isl" Chynoweth is home-home from
the war; as IT were. Neither his trip
or his experience i'm the revolutionary
zone have left any tell-tale marks on
him, nor on anyone else either, he
says.
Business called him To Arizona, and
after the business thing had been dis
posed OF, he concluded to visit Mexico
that he might acquire some local coll
or for the stories he was going to tell
when he came home. SO, establishing
a base of supplies at FL Paso. he made
careful inquiries as to the where
abouts of the contending armies.
There being no available information
about them. it, or anything concerning
IT, he crossed the river into Juarez.
Here, as i'm FL Paso, he was unable
to learn anything. Now "Sf had
made up his mind that he was going to
see "A war, and If the "greasers" in
Juarez didn't know anything about a
war Che showed them papers from up
north. that they couldn't read, to prove
there was war; he would go a little
further.
Reaching Encinillas he at last met a
detachment of Insurgents. 1t was
composed of two soldiers, and they
were out scouting for chew Of to-
bacco. Isl" offered them some Peer
less which they accepted, but when
they thought he was not watching
them. threw it away. Insurgents have
to be careful of their health. While
these two soldiers admitted that they
were Insurgents. they denied they
were a part of any larger body, and
seemed surprised TO hear that there
were any others. These two were all
that "Si' could find around Encinillas.
Later he reached Chihuahua, which
according to press reports Is the bat
tlefield for most of the fights that have
so far been pulled off. Here he dis
covered a large force of men in arms,
and he approached them to gather in
formation. However. when they saw
him coming they fled, and 1t was re-
ported later they had re-established
headquarters at Jiminez, but lack of
! time prevented "Si' from following
them.
"Si' met n number of operators for
moving picture concerns around Chi
huahua and they seemed to believe he
had spoiled their chances of getting
any more material for their cameras
without chasing after it, and they
were ill-natured i'm consequence. 1t
developed later that they had collected
this batch of rebels after considerable
trouble and six Mexican dollars, and
Isl" had unwittingly scared the col
lection away.
Returning to III Paso where he had
left his supplies, Isl" found they had
been stolen, and as it was dry town
and a dry season he was put to much
/ inconvenience until he met a doctor.
The doctor does a big business in FL
Paso. Notwithstanding the fact that the
town is exceedingly healthy. Business
was booming while "Si' was there, he

GUARDS ON THE FENCES.
Snow So High That the Pckets Must
Be Protected.

Snow So High That the Pekets Must
Be Protected.
Calumet is blessed CD with an UNI
usually large amount of snow this
winter, and i'm many places the fences
are either covered or their tops just
showing In the Calumet location
where many picket fences are in evil
dence, the pickets just sticking out of
the snow are being covered with
wooden guards to prevent them being
broken off. In this manner lot of re-
pair work in the summer is being
avoided. The work of putting on the
guards Is being done by the Calumet
& Hecla Mining company.
Among the great accumulations of
snow to be seen in this district are
the piles along the right-ofway of the
Keweenaw Central railroad from Cop
per City. to Calumet The Snow is
from ten to fifteen feet high, and the
x. G. trains virtually run through a
tunnel on this stretch of road Despite
the large amount Of the beautiful,
however. trains have been run on
time, giving the patrons service
which is appreciated. The handling
of the snow, however, Is an expensive
proposition. and il is the belief OF
Supt ]. G. Shields that If some OF
the advocates of two-cent fares In
the upper peninsula could see what
the x. G. and some of the other rail-
roads are up against in this region
they should be disallusioned of Their
dreams of enormous railroad profits.
