HANDSOME JACK, THE I
HUNTED BY POLICE
A man with curly brown hair,
with dimple in his chin, with a
manned right hand; a handsome
man with sunny smile.
Have you seen such a man?
The police of every city in the
United States and Canada are
looking for him.
The telephone and telegraph
have hummed with the descrip-
ton of him for the last 48 hours.
Even the wireless has been used
to send the description to the
liners which left Atlantic ports
within the last week.
For this man with the curly
brown hair, the dimple in his chin
and the sunny smile is wanted for
the most brutal murder of the
year in Chicago.
He is,wanted for the murder of
an old woman, whom he pretend
ed to bel love with, and flattered
and luredsand coaxed to her death,
and robbed.
The description is that of
Handsome Jack Koetters, Of Gin
cinnati, supposed slayer of Mrs.
Emma Kraft in the Saratoga ho-
tel one week ago Thursday.
There could be no more pitiful
story than that of Mrs. Emma
Kraft and Handsome Jack Koet-
tiers, the gambler.
And vet-it Is a story as old as
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1912-11-22

1t is the story of a woman who
would not listen to the truth her
relatives told her, because she
could not bring herself to believe
that she was too old to win the
love of a man.
The picture drawn of Mrs.
Kraft BY her niece, Mrs. Anna
Kicker, is one of a gentle, kindly
woman,
after the death of her hus-
band" says Mrs. Kicker, "Aunt
Emma lived alone in her home at
1852 Marshall avenue, Cincinnati.
"She had only one hobby, one
occupation, and that was the rails

"She spent nearly all her time
in the garden. She labored over
the flowers until her home nestled
IN riot of joyous color.
When the schools were clos

out in front of her home and
watch for the children passing.
"All the children knew her.
They used to call her their Aunt
Emma, and they always stopped
to talk with her on the way home.
"She loved the little ones so
much. She never had had a child
of her own, you know. That was
one of the great griefs of her life.

GOVERNMENTS EXCEPTIONS TO CAVENDER'S DECISION
IN HIGH LINE WATER CASE MUST Be FILED BY DEC. 10

An order was signed yesterday by
Judge Charles Cavender of Lead
vile and Judge Sprigg Shackleford of
this city setting December 10 as the
date by which time the government
can present its bill of exceptions to
the recent sweeping decision of Judge
Cavender in favor of the irrigation
districts In the water adjudication
case.
This case. which was probably the
most momentous ever tried in this
city during the past 20 years, insofar
as it affected national legal issues,
was the first skirmish of the federal
government to prove its contention
that 1t, and not the states. own and
control the unappropriated water in
the rivers of the nation. The doc
trine of states rights is severely as
sailed in the arguments by the United
States attorney, and 1t is the inten-
tion of the government to not only
force this issue in the high line case,
where the government seeks to set
aside the decree of Referee Guy v.
Sternberg adjudicating the various
water rights in the Grand river, but

WAR ON WEEDS
BEING WAGfD

The Interurban company is waging
an effective war on weeds along the
right OF way between this city and
Fruita. The ammunition being used
is a powerful solution Of oils and tar,
which is being sprayed on the weeds
from big tank carried on nat car.
Several applications of the tarry bath
have been given the weeds during
the last few weeks with the result
that the suns rays absorbed by the
black tar. have burned and withered
the weeds fiat to earth.
The repeated application of the
tar eventually coats the entire right
of way of the road and not only
kills the weeds. but settles the dust
permanently and lessons the amount
of section labor necessary.
Frank Merriell of the Interurban
company has had charge of the battle
against weeds and is making very
thorough Job of it.

Thomas is naturally little hesitant
about giving away collection which
represents so much to n museum out

give 1t to the museum in Denver in
the Colorado state capitol, the di-
rector of which made him practically
