FOR WIFE MURDER
Especial from United Press

London, Feb. "a retrial of the
case of DIR. H. H. Crippen, recently
hanged for the murder of his wife,
was demanded, today, by counsel for
Miss Ethel Glare Leneve, who is seek
Crippen, who was her lover. The is
sue was raised as the result of the
effort of Mrs. Terra HUM, of Brook
line, a half sister of Mrs. Crippen, to
defeat the will that Crippen's murder
of his wife destroyed his legal right
to inherit her property which is in
volved in the bequest to Miss Leneve.
Miss Leneve's lawyers appeared in
the probate court and contended that
Crippen's conviction in the criminal
court was on such palpable hearsay
evidence that it should have no legal
status in the probate court. The
Probate Judge took the point under
advisement for week.

Mix-up in Tobacco Deal.

There is a decided miX-up in tobac-
co deal in which two GAINESVILLE tobacco
dealers are interested, as we'll as other
handlers of tobacco throughout this
section of the state According to the
report it is alleged that Joseph Grundy
of this city is the loser to the amount
of $4,000 1t appears that Mr.. Grun-
dy's agent at Stoughton, named Simon
son, who purchased considerable tobac
co, receiving commission for the
work, sold quantity of the packing,
something over two hundred cases, to
G. H. Rumrill of this city. Mr.. Rum
rill paid the Stoughton agent, Simon
son. Thomas Earle is also alleged to
have purchased from Simonson some of
the lower grades of the packing. Other
sales to various tobacco handlers are
also alleged, all of which Mr.. Grundy
claims was illegal, as his Stoughton
representative had no authority to
make a sale or collect any money. Ac-
cording to the report it is alleged that
Simonson's relatives tried to adjust the
matter with Mr.. Grundy unsuccess-
fully. George G. Sutherland and Chas.
Pierce have been retained by Mr..
Grundy to look after his interests, but
thus far it cannot be learned that any
court action has been commenced. =

Brought Back to Wisconsin for Burial.

Tuesday, in the family lot at Black
Earth, Mrs. John Adams was buried
beside her husband, who died about two
years ago. She died at Pasadena, Cal.
The body was accompanied from the
west by Miss Elizabeth Adams, the
only daughter, and by the sons, Alva,
former governor of Colorado, whose
home is at Colorado Springs, William,
a Colorado state senator, who resides
at AIamosa, and Frank, who lives in
Denver. The funeral party reached
Madison Sunday and proceeded to the
old Black Earth home Monday.
Mrs. Adams was in her 83d year.
She was born in Cortland county, n.
Y, daughter of Ashael and Elizabeth
Blanchard, and was named Eliza. She
went with her parents to Orleans, N.
Y, then came with them in 1874 to
Iowa county, Wis. Her father died at
Dodgeville in 1852 and her mother at
Blanchardville in 1871. 1t was in Iowa
county that she met Mr.. Adams, who
had gone there in 1889 from Illinois,
and there they were married in 1916.
The Adams family located at Black
Earth in 1862 In that year Mr.. Adams
was elected sheriff; then he was an as
semblyman in 1869, 1870 and 1872, and

Heavy Storm. Damage.

A severe electric storm swept over
the southern part of the state Thurs
day evening, bringing the heaviest
rainfall since the breaking of the
drouth. The electric discharges were
almost incessant while the storm was
in progress, burning out fuses and dis
arranging the light service for time.
The chimney on the Jensen warehouse
caught one discharge, knocking off a
few brick. In the vicinity of Milton
Junction serious loss resulted. Light
ming struck the large barn on the
S. G. Chamber place just half mile out
of Milton Junction, and set it on fire
about O'Clock. The hay in the loft
afforded ready fuel for the flames
which soon spread to adjoining build
ings and increased so rapidly that the
neighbors who turned out to fight the
flames were unable to handle the sit
uation, and the barn and sheds were
completely destroyed. Neighboring
farmers and residents of the junction
who hurried out to the farm, ready to
render assistance, formed themselves
into a willing bucket brigade which
worked so valiently that the fire was
confined to the farm buildings and the
residence was saved. The neighbOrs
fortunately arrived in time to assist
the farm proprietor in leading his cat
tie and horses out of the barn to
place of safety, but had the fire oc-
Cured later in the night it is more than
likely that the animals would have per-
ished in the flames. 1t is estimated
that the damage will be $4,000. The
tenants on the place were VIM. Nc

Will Investigate Stephens on.

By the senate resolution to investi-
gate the charge that he corruptly
bought his seat in that body, Senator
Stephenson has achieved national prom
inence in an exceedingly disagreeable
way.
When Mr.. Stephenson identified him
self in purse and spirit with that move
ment some ten years ago, and took the
financial burden of the La Toilette
propaganda, there were not lacking
iudicious friends who warned him of
the quality and selfish purposes of the
needy politicians he was making COM
mon cause with, and predicted the bit
ter establishment that finally over
took MIN, and now reaches the stage
of this vindictive scheme of his whilom
allies to drag him over the harrow OF
this investigation on odious charges
and into the slime of national notoriety.
But who could have predicted eight
or ten years ago such climax as the
present sensational sequel to the Steph-
enson-La Toilette combine for political
power and revenge in the guise of civic
righteousness.
Mr.. Stephenson is an old man, stung
like Lear by the environed serpent's
tooth of black ingratitude. He has
seen only too bitterly the error of those
political ways. Those who owe him
anything but sympathy will not gloat
openly over his predicament. We be-
lieve and hope he will get exact justice.
But the coming investigation aided
by the long and strong arm of the fed
eral power, can not but be trying
ordeal for him and such of his friends
and agents in that amazing campaign
who will be called on to testify. Mil

Occasionally we are asked why we

department separated the bills, which

them on different slips of paper and

THE August crop report produces an
effect not particularly uplifting. 1t in
dicates generally lessened yield of all
cereals and, correlatively, an increase
in the cost of the necessaries of life.
This fact is not comforting. 1t had
been hoped, and felt, that the acme of
high prices had been reached and pass
ed. Apparently this expectation may
be illusory. Careful retrenchment nat
urally will be the policy of the provi-
dent.

Iowa Wins Championship.

United States at the national shoot
at Camp Perry, Ohio. Sergeant c.
M. King of Waukon was the guards,
man to turn the trick. While it IS
of course an individual honor it re.
bounds to the credit of the entire
guard. Adjutant General Logan
was delighted when he received the
message from Colonel Brookhart.
The message fails to give the
score but says: "King wins mill
tary championship of the United
States with the greatest score ever
made
To win this he had to defeat all
comers in the ten shots at 900
yards, 600 yards, 1000 yards and in
rapid fire at 200 yards.
