Modest and unassuming Ethel

The evening before she had horse
whipped Howard WATSON at Turtle
Lake, N. D. Mr.. WATSON who form
erly lived in this county and who is
known to a good many people here
is a brakeman on the Northern Pac-
ific road.
ADMIRERS HELP HER.
Something happened to anger Miss
Halves and with the assistance of
two sturdy admirers she gave Was
son the lashing of his life.
Naturally Howard was slightly
disgruntled and "they do say" he
swore vengeance. Warrants were
issued as part of the retalitory
measures. C. A. Wells and Miss
Halves were arrested.
OTHER MAN BEATIT.
One Lynch broke his arm and the
sheriff delayed serving the papers
until he recovered. The fact that
the papers were waiting fastened
his recovery and one evening he
stepped quietly westward and hasn' t
stepped back since.
Miss Halves brother went out and
asked for a settlement. One was
made but upon what grounds has
not been made public. Wells was
fined after pleading guilty. This
probably is the last chapter in the
famous novel. "The lady and the

MEN WOULD TAKE HER PLACE

SAULT STE. MARIE, ONTARIO,
Julv I7,-Widespread interest has
heen aroused in Canada and the
limited States over the case OF Mrs.
Angelina Napolitano, who IS under
sentence to be hanged here August
IL. two weeks after the expected
birth of her child.
The woman, already the mother
of four children, killed her husband.
who tried to force her to receive the
attentions of other men.
FIVE READY TO DIE.
No fewer than five persons have
offered to die in her place. and from
every section of Canada and the
United States petitions have been
sent to Earl Grey, governor general
of Canada, and to Sir Allen Ayles-
worth, minister of justice. Some OF
these petitions ask for an absolute
pardon; others merely a communal
ton of the death sentence.
1t is estimated that the petitions
carry more than million sigma
lures.
DOCTOR OFFERS HIMSELF.
h Public attention in the United
States first was called to Mrs. Ma.
politano's case when DR.. Alexander
& Aalto of Ashtabula, o., offered to
take her place on the gallows. In q
letter he said:
1t would only be fair to Mrs. Napc.itano for
man to give his life for her. dasmuci. as er
life is in peril on account Of mans persecu-
ton of her and because men condemned her.
know my old mother would consider that
was honoring her motherhood in dying Tor
Mrs Napolitano.
A few days later a similar Offer
came from a man in Los Angeles
and since then three other offer:
have come, two from Canada ane
one from the United States.
A THOUSAND PETITIONS.
A week after DIR. Aalto's offer be
came known petitions began to come
in from the United States and Cana
da, and already they number fully
one thousand.
There is much sympathy for the
woman here, and it is believed
when the facts in the case are laie
before the higher authorities hel
life will be spared.

The promoters of the Clarksburg

pretty little piece of shrewd rail-

but it developed That the clarksburg
Northern also desired the strip, but
not only had they desired Il but they
had at once closed the deal that
made them owners of strip on the

pose of loading coal from their cars

Col. Fuccy states that the con.
struction gang now has more than
nine miles of the road ready for the
ties and rails and that the gang on
the Mlddlebourne end is working
clearlnto that village, while on this
end the construction gang is within
sight of the city. Some little delay
will be caused by the condemnation
proceedings TO secure the right of
way through tho Abersold land, but
that delay vas not expected. Col
