Chief of Police DOnohue has re-
ceived a letter from Sheriff A. Bau-
man, Fremont, Neb., in which he
writes that on Monday, August Z, a
newborn baby was found choked to
death in Northwestern freight car
in that city. A towel around the
infants neck was the evidence of the
manner in which it had been stran-
gled.
Sheriff Bauman states that he has
taken into custody theatrical or
ganization called the De AeriaD, Rit-
chic e. Co., consisting of a man.
woman, and three children. One of
the girls is sixteen years old. an
other is nine and a boy is seven
years old.
The company played at the White
City in Mankato from July 8 to 9,
and were guests at local hotel, A
napkin which was wound around the
infants body was marked Kehner e.
Otto, and the towel was marked
R-45.
Sheriff Bauman writes that he is
positive that the infant belonged to
this party. In fact the woman has
admitted that the child was hers.
Sheriff Bauman requested Chief
Donohue to find out for him who
Kehner e. Otto are, and what ho-
tel they run.
Kehner &c Otto are the proprietors
of the Northwestern restaurant.
North Front street. Mr.. Kehner
stated to The Free Press this after
noon that he remembered the fam
lily mentioned in Sheriff Bauman's
letter. They ate their meals at the
Northwestern restaurant for ten days

Chicago. Mr.. Kehner stated that
the woman. was in delicate condi-
ton when in Mankato, About the

charging assault in the third degree
was issued. Henschel had never
shown any symptoms of insanity be-
fore, nor was he ever accused of
breaking the law
Trouble Over a Pillow.
The trouble that led to the assault
had bought He had been using 4
hand plow, but was getting old and
thought that he could save his
strength by using pillow that he
could ride. He accordingly invested
$S5 in a new plow. but the ground
was wet and the new pillow did not
work very well, and he got out of
sorts, and his wife is said to have
nagged him about buying the new
pillow, saying that he ought to have
continued to use the hand plOw. She
went UP to him to find out what he
was making threats about, as she
said, when he lifted board as
though to strike her. She threw up
her hands and he dropped the board
and struck her and blackened her
eye. He said on the stand that he
thought that she intended to push
him over the pillow and he only act
ed in defense and pushed her away.
He did not attempt to explain how
she got the black eye, except by saw
ing that she had run against some
thing.
Inquest Is Unnecessary.
Coroner Kennedy and Deputy Cor
oner Macbeth returned this after
noon, having decided that an inquest
was not necessary.
Henschel had climbed a ladder i'll
the COW barn, tied the rope to
rafter and jumped off. He was wear
ing only his pants and shirt. His
wife was staying at neighbours and
Henschel slept upstairs and Hawker
down stairs. Henschel did not leave
any note or word. His body was
found at $50 a. m.
Mrs. Henschel said that she wish
ed to give her husband a good burial,
and services will be held tomorrow,
and the interment will be made at
the Union cemetery, Mapleton. The
sympathy of the neighbors seems to
be largely with Mrs. Henschel in
the family troubles, according to Mr..
Macbeth. 1t is believed that Henschel
had become somewhat deranged.

+ year, being dedicated in No
+ vember, 1884. From that time
: until 1893 the theological de-
: partment of the college sent

: engaged during the school
+ year. Since the reorganiza-
: ton the institution has gradu-
+ ated 107 young men and four
+ young women.
: During the synod meeting
+ in New Ulm in June, 1909,
+ the college celebrated it's sill
|. yer jubilee. 1t was at this
: synod meeting the matter of
+ erecting the new dormitory
: and the new chapel was dis
: cussed. A building committee

necessary steps for the cree
? ton of the proposed new
: buildings, Rev. A. Schroedel
+ of st. Paul, president of the
: synod; Prof, A. Ackermann,
+ president and director of the
+ college; William Poppenber-
+ ger of st. Paul. Louis J. Buen-

Hannibal and New London are ten
miles of scenic driveway, showing that
the pioneers Of that country appreciat-
ed the utility Of welcoming shade as
we'll as their descendants. though they
did not follow SO regular a system.
While discussing trees for streets a
writer in the New York Independent
says that there are less than a dozen
varieties suitable for city planting
that is, in any one locality. He calls
unwise the advice Of a committee on
tree planting in one Of CALIFORNIA;
larger towns, which suggested a par
ticular kind of tree for each street,
and adds:
New York city tried several sorts
of trees during the early part of the
last century, among which was the
a1lanthus. These proved to be in
many cases worse than useless, grow
ing irregular, giving little shade max
ing much filth or while In bloom emit
ting bad odor.
''Probably, taking the country
through. the Eastwood is as good a
tree for shade and sweetness and
ozone as the continent holds It has a
tidy way of healing over wounds, and
1t is hardy as far north as the elm,
while it can endure the climate of
the gulf states. The maple Is more
generally planted than any other
American tree, and it deserves to be If
we are judicious in selecting the varie-
ties. The hard or sugar maple does
not endure wounds and rough usage
as we'll as some of the soft varieties
and for that reason is not so generally
used in some Of the western cities.
All through the northern states, how
ever, the Norway maple is incompara-
bly, the noblest and most suitable tree
in every way for our streets. 1t ad-
justs itself to city life as well as to
country life

Impressed Senator DoIIiver More Than
Anything Else In State-Trees For

Marked progress has been made dur
ing recent years in Hannibal, Mo-, and
vicinity in the development of shade
trees in streets, parks and beauty
snots. The Hannibal Commercial
club, aiming to make the place attrac-
tive to newcomers, decided that moth
ing would prove more inviting to the
stranger than a generous display OF
foliage. Prompt action was taken,
and since April, 1910. more than ten
miles of trees, twenty five feet apart,
have been planted in Hannibal, while
forty miles of trees, fifty feet apart,
have been set out along highways
leading into the town.
"It is a matter Of paramount impor-
tance," said W. ]. A. Mayer, pres1-
dent of the Commercial club, "that a
town should offer an immediate at
traction to new residents, and trees
will accomplish wonders"
Senator Dolliver Of Iowa when ask

trees between Hannibal and Palmyra.

inc hospitality l have ever seem"

Experimenting for Pulp Wood

The following from Kalispel paper
is of interest to owners of larch, which
is commonly known in this section as
tamarack:
'The government desires to obtain
from this district carload of small
larch logs, six to fourteen inches in
diameter, and either four, twelve or
sixteen feet long, to be shipped to
Wausau, Wisconsin, for use in making
an experiment to ascertain the value OF
larch for ground wood pulp. They have
written to A. E. Boorman, secretary of
the Montana Larch and Pine Manufac-
turers' Association, asking about the
matter. Mr.. Boorman this morning
mailed communications to several of the
principal members of that association,
and it is his personal opinion that they
will take the matter up. The govern
ment is willing to pay all expenses of
getting the timber out, loading and
transporting it, and are willing to even
denate 1t from their lands 1t 1t could be
gotten off at reasonable cost. All
they desire is that some party or parties
equipped with logging machinery, do,
or have done, the actual work at the
government expense.
1.-The experiment may prove of value
to Flathead and Lincoln counties. Should
larch make good pulp, it will mean that
lumbermen can cut their timber more
closely and be able to utilize consider
able portion of their timber holdings
which is now wasted in handling from
the stump to the car, in the pulp fac
tories that would be sure to spring up.
1t would open a new and very impor-
tant industry for this section of the
country, which is in the very heart of
the larch district of Montana. "-Kalis-
