SHE DIES OF COLD
Mother Sends Children on
With Presents.
Tots Live After Spending
Night in Snow.

Mount Holly, n. J., Dec. 2S.-Mrs.
Elizabeth Lowther, with her 14-year-
old daughter Mary, and a young child
had been in town shopping and it was
late Christmas eve when they left a
returning train at Harris station and,
laden with Christmas gifts, started to
walk four miles through the snow to
their home in the pines
The mother became very tired be-
fore they had gone a mile, and, CROP
ing, step by step through the six inch
depth of snow, she lost her way. AS
she sank exhausted she told Mary to
hurry on with the little daughter.
Mary took her sister on her back and
started as fast as she could to find
a house whence she could send aid to
her mother. They reached a wood road
and groped along the fence until Mary s
strength failed.
She lay down in the snow, wrapped
part of her big cloak around her sis
ter and soon lost consciousness.
All night the children lay there. On
Christmas morning a man hauling
shingles out of the wood found them.
He questioned the little one, then
threw off his load of shingles, put the
girls in his wagon and drove back to
where the mother lay.
Mrs. Lowther was dead. The body
was placed beside the children in the
wagon and taken to their home. John
Lowther saw his wife brought home
have all been sitting down to the holi-
day dinner.
Marys condition is very serious. Her
hands and feet are frozen and DR..
Haines, of Medford. is not yet sure
that anputation can be avoided.

conducted contest. In fact personal
creased several hundred votes by such
a proceeding"
Three Weeks to Prepare.
Friends of Capper have three weeks
in which to make preparation for
contest before the state senate. The
general statutes of Kansas provide
that between the sixth and tenth days
ture, that the person filing such con-
test shall file a notice with the clerk
of the senate. This notice shall con-
tain all allegations and claims sought
to be established by the evidence. The
senate may then set the case for hear
ing and make its findings from the
law and the facts as presented. There
is no appeal and the decision is final.
On the other hand the Capper forces
might go to the supreme court with
their cases Immediately following
Hodges Inauguration. There is serious
doubt, though, whether or not the su-
preme court would entertain the case
on quo warranto proceedings. If they
denied jurisdiction, the Capper people
could not then return to the senate
for relief.
And with that situation confronting
them the supporters Of Arthur Capper
are laying their plans for a contest to
be filed in the next three weeks.

vice given by Chief of Police O'Neill
to women to prevent their being robbed,
Mrs. Mary Robinson lost $S4 last night
