MOST AMAZING TRAGEDY IN
ANNALS OF CRIME.
Los Angeles Girl Wants to Die With
Foster Father and Forces Him to
Shoot Her-Notes Effect
of Shots.

Los Angeles.-In. one of the most
amazing and remarkable tragedies in
criminal annals. Miss Eva Bovee, TWEEN
ty years old, stood at the bedside of
her foster father in a ward at the
County hospital, in this city. and
thrusting loaded revolver into his
hands compelled him to shoot her so
that ''she might go to heaven with
him.
With a Spartan-like indifference.
bordering on fanaticism, the girl not
ed the effect of each shot and or
dered the man to keep shooting until
she finally dropped to the floor. AS a
result S. l.. Dania, sixty.five years of
age, the foster father, is dead from
wounds self-inf1icted, after shooting his
foster daughter The girl died short
ly after being shot.
On April 1 Dania shot and killed
his six-year-old daughter, Ledania
He believed at the time of that shoot
ing that he was about to die from in
juries inflicted by George Koerner.
with whom he was fighting a pistol
duel. AS Dania fell he recognized his
six-year-old daughter and believing
he was about To die, he said. 'I am
going to take you with me-" and shot
and instantly killed the little girl.
Practically the one friend to call
upon Dania in the hospital was Miss
Bovee, who posed as his foster daugh-
ter. She visited him almost every
day and during their conversations
urged him to carry out his promise to
take her with him when he died
On her last visit she bought a re.
volver and visited Dania again at the
County hospital. She forced the re-
volver into his hands and stood up
for execution. Dania fired once, the
bullet inficting a painful but not fatal
injury, striking the girl in the head.
With the spirit of Spartan she re,
marked, Shoot again, you didn't
hurt me-"
The Bovee girl then crossed her
hands on her breast and Dania, NOV.
ing to a better position, fired two
shots rapidly. The second shot broke
the girls wrist, the third struck her
in the breast. After the girl fell tc
the floor Dania turned the revolver
upon himself, infiicting a throat
wound. A fifth shot went wild.

the burner is boiled to remove any ac-

The church boat is a popular In

Lake Siljan to Leksand. The water
route is the nearest and most conve-

by the same route.-Wide World Maga.

Employees Of Be- N. Fear
Reduction Of Wages.

lion al Concord Hearing.
See Threat Of Greatest Labor War
Ever Known In United States.

Concord, y. H., March l.-Represen-
tativcs of the employees of the Boston
& Maine Railroad testified at today's
session of the hearing before the spc-
cial legislative committee which is
investigating the condition of that rail-
road with reference to bills pending
in the Legislature. The burden of their
testimony was that it was their belief
that the increases in rates which the
railroad made some years ago OH Ger
tain leased lines in New Hampshire
and which the courts have declared
illegal, were necessary and that II"
old rates could not be restored without
enforcing a reduction in wages of en-
ployee. Attorney Louis D. Brandeis %
Boston, representing the state at tie
hearing, questioned the witnesses
closely as 10 the possibility of ccono-
mics being effected in their various
departments which would render
wage reduction unnecessary if the old
rates were restored, but got little salts
faction from them.
Michael O'Ncill of Nashua, repre-
sen.ing the machinists. said his asso-
citation was opposed TO the introduce
ton Of economies if. as they thought
proba BILE. these would result i'll a de-
crease in the number Of men employ
ed by the railroad.
Patrick J. Coyle of Boston. replc-
senting the Station Agents Employees
Association. declared that if a general
wage reduction We're made by the rail
roads as a result of the recent Inter
state Commerce Commission freight
rate decision or of contemplated action
unfavorablc to the railroads in this
state, there would follow the greatest
labor war the country has ever seen.
