SUCCESSFUL TURKEY RAISING
Avoid OVERRIDING Care and Attcnttor
Allow Plenty Exercise


Satisfactory results can never b.
secured by handling turkeys liks
cage birds or dollhouse plants. Traa'
them Ike turkeys and use common
sense In looking after them. Theil
oatiye home was in the woods and
delds. In their present semi domes-
tic condition they need more shelter
and care, but they should never be
shut In so close as to deprive them Of
plenty of light, room and air They
should not be pampered and fea
upon unnatural foods nor should
they be overfed at any time. In
their wild state they ran about here
and there, seeking small grains
seeds and bugs, getting plenty OF
exercise as we'll as food. Their do
nestle condition deprives them OF
The necessity of hunting for food and
consequently of the exercise that
came from so doing When quite
young the poults are apt to receive
more attention than they need.
Then, as they grow Older and the
novelty OF attending to them weart
of, they are too often neglected jus;
at the time when more care should
Je given them. For instance, when
their feathers are growing and the
unusual heat overcomes them, spe-
dal care may profitably be bestowed

poultry should be thoroughly dry

heat should be entirely out Of tho

BERNIE CASEY WAS
FOUND IN SPRING
Continued from page -

the pathway leads over the embank-
ment, across the railroad tracks and
on up the hillside to High street,
close to where the unfortunate man
resided, Again it is inferred that he
was either taken sick and fell insen-
sible into the spring or made mis-
take as to where the path lead up
the embankment and becoming con-
fused, slipped and fell backward in
to the water.
However, Mrs. Crowell said she
heard loud talking in that neighbor-
hood along about l o'clock, but as it
is of frequent occurrence in the neigh
borhood no especial attention was
paid to the matter. One of the men
with Casey declared he did not leave
the crowd until about 2 o'clock On
sunday morning There was a rumor
his morning that man who was
with the party has not been seen
since Saturday night and Coroner
Kline directed an officer to make IN
vestigations. The matter may also
be taken up by Prosecuting Attorney
Noll and the remainder of Casey's
companions summoned before him for
investigation.
AS to the presumption that he had
been strangled and then thrown into
,he spring, Health Commissioner c.
E. Clay, who examined the body,
gave as his opinion that the youths
neck was naturally large and thick
and water was found to be on the
lungs, indicating death by drowning.
His neck was not broken as supposed.
He was about q years of age and
worked with the Gas Company as a
pipe filter. He was held in high es-
TEEN by all of his fellow workmen as
well as his employees and was good
looking, intelligent young fellow, with
an excellent reputation. He is sur
vived by his father, Patrick Casey;
one married sister, Mrs. Mary Har-
rington; one brother, Mr.. John Casey,
all of North High street, not far
from where the tragedy occurred,
and three single sisters, Misses An
ME, Ella and Maggie, of Washington.
Brother Killed Nearby. -.
1t will be a tragic coincidence Of
interest to note in this connection
that another Casey boy, Michael, met
with a violent death not far from
where Bernie died. Some years since
Michael Casey was struck and killed
by No. 8 as he was on the tracks
just above the spring. Bernie was
wearing Mikes watch when death
came to him and the timepiece was
running when Coroner Kline remov-
ed it from the boys pocket Sunday
morning. Young Casey, because of
his brothers untimely end, would not
walk along the railroad track if he
could avoid it, evidently in fear of
similar fate.
An Inquest Probable.

WERTz HEIRS TO
FIGHT 8 NATIONS
Mrs. Estelle Ryan Snyder
Leaves Chicago for Europe
to Battle for Estate.

Mission Is Undertaken as Result of
Convention Held in Rock Is
land a Year Ago.

one Chicago woman. Mrs. Estelie Ry-
an Snyder, and three nations, the
Netherlands, Germany and Austria, in
which the prize is S1S,OO0,000, will he
started soon. Mrs. Snyder leaves Chi
cago today for Hamburg, Germany.
The fortune represents the estate of
Paul WertZ, a German field marshal,
who died in 1876. Mrs. Snyder, with
her husband, William J. Snyder, goes
to Germany as the American repre-
sentative of the Wertz Family Associ-
alton of America. This company was
formed for the purpose of wrestling the
fortune from the hands of Germany,
Austria or Holland, whichever coun-
try is adjudged the present owner.
WARS FOUGHT OVER MONEY.
| Litigation over the fortune. which
represents the estate of Paul Wertz
has lasted for $50 years without re-
suit. Wars have been fought over it
between Holland and Germany, and
! several times war has been averted by
a compromise. The three nations
Austria, Germany and Holland, have
formed a money alliance" and will
be represented by their ablest law
yers in the fight against the Chicago
woman and her lawyers.
Paul Wertz received the fortune
through success in the 80 years war
and other conflicts. At his death he
left no descendants, the property go
ing to the German government. Hol-
land demanded it, fought for it and
at last through a compromise it was
placed in the Bank of Vienna, Austria,
TO be held in trust for Holland on the
condition that all lawful heirs of the
field marshal should receive theiI
share of the estate.
NO SETTLEMENT REACHED.
Five lawsuits have been started al
, various times by heirs of Paul Wert7
&. to recover, but so numerous were the
, heirs in America and Germany that nc
settlement was reached.
/ Then the Wertz Family Association
; of America was formed. DR.. Won Vel
j. sen. an heir, a jurist of Dusseldorf
