Excellent Talks Made by
Members Of The De-
partment

hremen under adverse circumstances, in
relation to the better equipped COM
panlee of today, but not to the det-
riment of the former.
l.. w. Vasaly was the first speaker
introduced, and in opening spoke of
the harmony which existed between the
council ana the department. That
such social gatherings tended to
cement the friendship of the depart
ment, not only with the councllmen,
dlvldual members Of the department.
He spoke highly of the services of the
toastmaster and the chief, not only In
their work for the local department,
but also when representing the de-
partment at the state conventions. The
Work of the members of tho depart
ment was referred to as unselfish devo-
tion to the cause of their fellow
citizens, we'll merited tribute.
Ed. Loucks. when called on, said that
as rule Frank Turner usually fur
ished all the hot-alr from No. 8. and
when Turner couldn't put on the fin.
lshing touches, Don Cameron finished
the job. Mr.. Loucks harked hack to
some amusing incidents which took
place at one Of the state meetings, and
some of his fellow-delegates suffered
accordingly. Mr.. Loucks made some
excellent remarks.
Don NJ. Cameron, was the next
speaker, and spoke along humorous
line, intermingled with a number of
good stories; also shot few at some
OF the boys. He thought one advan-
tage Of being fireman, was the
chance for free pure air at night,
which was good for the elimination of
bald heads. And he knew that the
firemen of the West side must be
especially we'll provided with hair
and health as they we're out all
night. He spoke of the excellent
WORK of the department.. considering
the large area which had to be taken
care of, and told of a conversation
with an insurance adjuster who spoke
very highly of the efficient record of
the department. And of course, like
the rest Of them, he said something
about Turner.
speakers had spoken of, not harshly,
but rather rointedly, said that he felt
honored, that TO make even an impress

took the full legal membership Of the
department to do so. He said that
Cameron and himself had been tigur-
ing out what they should talk about,
and had decided to talk about their
wives. On reconsidering, however,
they thought they would leave that
subject to the neighbors. Speaking in
. more serious vein, he spoke of the
personnel of the department, and OF
the gratitude to be felt in the fact tha,
out of the entire membership, but one
has passed to the great beyond
Brother Frank Wheelock. He sincerely
hoped that every member would be
able to be at the next annual gathering,
and many more of them.
In closing the speaking program
Toastmaater Lyon thanked the com
mittee for the excellent service which
had been provided, and the Mudvill<
band, for the excellent music fur
nished.
After a time spent in conversation
and song the festivities came to :
close, the affair being voted one of tn
best Of the many pleasant function
given by the Fire department Of Littl

GuSH.

Several days ago an escaped con-
vict from Saltwater boarded a street
car in st. Paul.
He was followed by a detective,
who, although he did not know the
mans identity suspected he was a
crook and attempted to arrest him.
The convict, finding himself in a
tight place, drew a revolver and shot
the detective so that he later died in
St. Paul hospital. .--
A passing policeman captured the
convict and he now is again behind
the walls at Saltwater serving out
his old term, at the expiration of
which he faces new punishment for
the murder of the detective.
Since the shooting of the detective
the Twin City papers have received
several communications scathingly
denouncing the last legislature for
having abolished capital punishment
and using the most violent language
against Governor Eberhart for hav-

ing signed the bill after it was
passed.
Some Of the country papers have
joined in the outburst of gush and do
not hesitate to place the blame for
the murder upon the shoulders of the
Legislature and the governor.
They reason that if Juhl, the con-
vict-murderer had been in a state
where that black emblem of the bar
barrie ages, the gallows, still stood,
he would have submitted to arrest.
When the blood tingles over such
an outrage as the shooting down of a
beloved and faithful officer, it is easy
to cry out for vengeance and it is
easy to call the legislature set of
mossbacks and the governor a weak
ling, but a calm review of the facts
place those of hasty criticism in an
unenviable light, rather than those
they accuse.
The chances are about even that
Juhl, at the time he shot, was think
ing only of getting away and that he
would have shot just as viciously,
with the bleak walls of the peniten-
tiary, haunting him, as he would had
hanging been the possible penalty
for his effort. /.
Let those who cry out the loudest
for the "good old days of the GAL
lows" look up the criminal records
in the state where capital punish
ment is still used and they will find
as great or greater percentage of
murders as in the states that have
dropped this atrocious form of re-
venge.
If honest students of the problem
will communicate with Warden VOL
fer at Saltwater he will quickly show
them by official statistics that Off
.cial death does not lessen individual
crime.
In the meantime, Juhl, under care
full guard day. and night, has tasted
his last of liberty and is busy max
ing shoes for the society he has so
grossly wronged.

POODLE DOGS, CHlLDLESS WOMEN OF
WEALTH AND A HUMOROUS BUT BRAVE
CONGRESSMAN

During the closing days of the late
cantankerous United States congress
information was presented to show
that rich woman of New York who
had gone to Europe was compelled
to pay duty when she returned on a
dog which she had taken with her
from this country, one of the unin-
tentionally constructions of the lat
est tariff law being to be blame.
Efforts were being made to have
congress rectify the error when Con-
gressman Norris of Nebraska broke
out; just how, we leave to the Con-
gressional Record to say:
Some time ago, Mr.. Speaker, was
invited by the young men to deliver
an address at meeting in the build
ing Of the. Young Mems Christian
Association in this city. The notice
came by telephone, and 1 responded
Immediately and without any prepa-
ration, so that ought not perhaps to
have been held strictly accountable
for anything I said on that occasion.
My audience, however, was composed
entirely of men-of young men-and
I tried to say something to them that
would be of benefit to them in the
strife that comes to every man in this
life. They were unmarried men and,
among other things, I advised them
that they ought to get married, and
that to be husband and father
was the noblest ambition of every
male human being.
told them why I believed it was
necessary for young men who wanted
to be patriotic and do good to their
country and to humanity to be mar
ried and raise children. called at
tention to the fact that many veal
thy people were raising more poodle
dogs than children, and 1 told them
of an incident that came under my
observation when walking down Con-
necticut avenue one day, when saw
the door of residence open-a resi-
dence that had cost perhaps a couple
of million dollars-and a well-dressed
woman came out and there drove up
in front Of it a carriage with two
men in uniform sitting up in front
and one man in uniform sitting on
the seat in the rear, and as the wom-
an came down the walk those men
got down and took off their silk hats
and bowed almost to the sidewalk
as they opened the carriage door and
put her into the carriage. She car
ried in her arms beautiful poodle
dog, all decked out in ribbons, trink-
cts, and flowers.
watched her as they drove down
the avenue, and my heart bled in pity
for this woman of wealth, who I sup
posed was childless, and who was
therefore compelled to waste her af-
fections on a poodle dog. They had
not gone very far, however, until
the door of that mansion opened
again and colored woman came out,
wheeling little baby carriage. I
crossed the street in order to ascer-
tain how the baby was dressed, and

ANOTHER MURDER MYSTERY.
Body of Myrtle Hawkins Found ir
Lake Near HendersonvilIe.

Lake Near hendersonVllle.
The dead body Of Miss Myrtle Haw-
kins, u beautiful young lady. aged II.
and daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. H.
Hawkins of Hendersonville, N. c., was
found floating in the waters of Lake
Osceola, a few miles from the town
last Sunday morning.
The body was horribly decomposed
showing that it had been in the water
for several days; but there were no
marks of violence and the coroner's
jury could do nothing, but find that
death had resulted from causes un-
known.
The girls parents could give but lit
tie information except that their
daughter had been absent since the
Wednesday previous, and although
very uneasy they had said nothing for
the reason that they had suspicion
that she had probably eloped with Mr.:
Hal Cooper, a young business man of
Johnson City, Tenn, to whom she had
engaged herself contrary to their
wishes. They had been pursuing inves-
LEGATIONS on their own account, but had
not taken the public into their con-
fidence.
The young lady had been accustomed
to make almost daily visits to her
friend, Mrs. Mccall, near the lake. and
although the road ran through dark,
gloomy woods, she was not afraid.
She usually took along book to while
away the time while resting in various
secluded hooks along the route.
There are some people who say that
they heard screams of a woman on
Wednesday afternoon at a point near
the lake; but they were unable to find
out from whom the screams came.
There are others who say that they
saw the young woman in the company
of a young man whom they describe.
and this is the last time she was seen
alive.
There are evidences that the young
woman was chloroformed and there is
a theory that she was done to death
near the lake and that probably the next
night or a night or two afterward the
murderer came back, took the body in
a buggy, drove rapidly to the lake and
threw the body in.
Rewards have been offered for the ar
rest of the man answering the de-
scription of the one last seen with the
young woman, and every effort is be-
ing made to clear up the mystery
about which there is great excitement.
