WANDERING NOTES..

wv ~
Ward county crops are, or should
be, all that could be desired. For
has it not been so decreed by triu-
ity Of wise men who journeyed by
automobiles to far off fields and view
ed covetously the reward of the in
dustrious husbandman. Crops are
great but the price exceedingly
small.
Should any farmer encounter a re-
sponsihle official of the Thresher-
mems union, capable of giving def
mite statement as to their position,
direct him to the nearest Farmers

sured.

position of representative would ap.

The term bonanza farmer is cftimes
applied to those who have much land,

by good fortune than good manage
ment, might be said of the land hog,
who farms by telephone or auto.
By the way, have you ever noticed
how these bonanza farmers pile rock
and tear up the highway? Few Of

shack or fence even but can deal

GRANARIES PAY FOR

THEMSELVES
A good granary on q farm pays for
itself in few years. The farmer
who has not the proper facilities for
storing his grain is at the mercy OF
the men who manipulate the grain
market unless he wishes to go to the
tother -of storing his grain at the
elevators, and then the cost always
amounts to considerable. The
farmer with good large granary can
do his blowing and market his grain
during the otherwise slack time.
Come in and let us give you figures

We can show you where it will
actually prove big saving to you In

Washington, d, C., Nov. 29.-Ap-
preparations of nearly S200,O00, 900 for
pensions to veterans of American

OF congress today indicate that the

BOY MURDERER
ADMITS HIS
GUILT
MAN NAMED HICKEY DECLARES He
COULD NOT HELP STRANGLING
YOUTHS...POST CARDS GOT HIM
INTO TROUBLE

Buffalo. \. Y. Nov, eel. Frank
Hickey today made a full confession
OF The murder October II, 1911. OF
Joseph Iosephs, the 1-year-old lacka-
Wanna boy, and of Michael Kruck, the
New York newsboy, December u,
1902.
Both the Josephs boy, whose dis
membered body was found in cess
pool back Of saloon in LachaWanna,
November 16, and the kruck boy
were strangled to death. Hickey at
tributed his crimes to the excessive
use of liquor. When drunk, he said,
he was possessed Of an irresistible
mania for killing boys, He denied
he had committed other similar
crimes and said he was repentant for
his deeds and expected to pay the
penalty.
Young Josephs disappeared the aft
ernoon of October II, 1911. His father.
George Josephs, prominent mer-
chant of Lackawanna, insisted from
the start that the boy had been kid
mapped and a cOmtry-"ide search
was instituted. Hickey was arrested
at colony for inebriateS at Whiting,
y. j., November 10. His fondness for
writing postal cards TO the police
proved his undOing. He mailed cards
from Boston and New York and their
reproduction in newspaper led a
friend of Hickeys to inform the po-
lice of his suspicious. The order for
the arrest followed,
In one postal from Boston, the then
unknown writer wrote of the kruck
murder as follows:
"wednesday night, Dec, 1902
Il enticed Michael kruck, news
boy at S6th street and Central Park,
West, New York City, into the park
opposite the entrance to the arsenal
police station | strangled him and
Just escaped the officer who found
him as ! came back few words here
illegible). Three times | have taken
life: twelve times have tried and
cannot help it,
Another card from Boston told of
the murder of the Josephs boy and
where the body would be found The
police followed the minute instruc-
tions on the card and recovered the
body in decomposed fragments.
Hickey will be formally arraigned
Monday on the charge of murder in
the first degree.
The body of Michael kruck, one OF
the boys Hickey confessed having
murdered, was found in an excavation
in Central park the night of Decem-
Der 10, 1902 Death had been due to
strangulation. His father, who is
tailor, and his mother, are still living
in this city. Suspicion was directed
toward Hickey at the time and he was
picked up in Buffalo in a maudlin con
dition. In a semi-delirious state he
confessed to the murder but when the
effects of the liquor wore off he re-
pudiated the confession and was sub
sequently released owing to lack Of
evidence

Watchman at the Golden Cycle Mill
here in speaking of the trials OF Al
bert T. Patrick, of New York, who has
lust been released from Sing Sing, IF
the conspirators who sent him to pris-
on do not kill him in the meantime.
Patrick is a man far above the average
in intelligence and experience.
MY brother has proved his inno-
cence to the satisfaction OF the gov
ernor Of New York" he said, "ana his
chief aim in life now will be to clear
his name in the eyes of the public and
establish the guilt Of the conspirators
who had him condemned to the cleo
trio chair.
Nothing can bring back to life my
father who was killed in 1902 by the
shock of my brothers imprisonment
We found him dead one morning out
side the door with the morning paper
clutched in his hand The paper was
always his first thought in the morn
ing and he had fallen dead as he
stopped to pick it up from the floor OF
the yeranda.
Nothing can repay us either Tor

Patrick issued statement TINS al
ternoon in which he went into the de-
tails of the two wills left by Rice. lie
said, however, that while he intended
to fight vigorously for his vindca-
tion" he had not decided whether he
would contest the will probated, which
left the Rice millions to the Rice !
Institute at Houston, Texas. The fal-
sitv of the charge that the second Rice
