"BOrn to Trouble"

Mrs. Jellison killed her four chill
dren by administering to them cap
sules containing cyanide Of potassium
Saturday morning, and then admins
tered a dose of the deadly poison to
herself. She was a Woodworking wo-
man, and during the AZ years of her
life had carried on her shoulders
heavy load of trouble and sorrow. In
common with all, she had her frallties
and her virtues, and they rest alike
tonight in the bosom Of her father
and her God.
When in the bloom of girlhood she
married Elmer Storey in Ohio, and
to them a son, Russell, now aged H.
was born. The union proved unhap-
py, and the divorce court was the re-
suit. Afterwards she married Charles
Jellison, Of Kansas, and after bring
ing him three children, again trouble
came, and again II was the same old
story-the divorce court. Then she
came to Oregon and became the wife
Of John Swanson, and, after bearing
him a son she again appeared In di-
vorce court to tell a story Of trouble
and disappointed love and life, the suit
being brought by him.
She BattIed Bravely'
With four small children on her
hands she bravely faced the world
waging a battle for existence, and
from then on Il was squalor poverty
ana want for her and them. She re-
sided for awhile on the outskirts OF
the city near Twelfth street, taking IN
washing and cleaning houses for a
living. The son, Russell, found worn

NEW GRAIN DISCOVERED.

A new grain known as black win
ter emmer has been evolved after
years of study by Prof. Buffum, who
conducts an experiment farm in the
Big Horn basin, near Worland, Wyo.
The grain is somewhat larger than
wheat, and is a cross of wheat and
several other less known grains. It
will grow in much 'drier soil than
wheat and four times as much can
be grown to the acre. It weighs
more to the bushel than wheat, and
while hardly SO fine as that grain for
food>purposes may assist materially
in solving the general food problem,
owing to its excellence and cheapness
as fodder for the animals whose flesh
figures on the dinner tables of men.
Emmer itself is not a novelty. It
has been raised for many centuries,
and has been given much attention
by farmers in Russia.

FROM FAMILY CT SOLDIERS
Greatest Military Leader
of His Tins.

Marshal Turenne was probably
the greatest military leader Of his
day, and it may be said that he
played no small part in the making
of European history. As grandson
of the Prince of Orange his martial
spirit was a natural heritage. His
early lessons in the art of warfare
were taken under Prince Maurice
and Prince Henry Frederick, his ma
ternal uncles, two as doughty war;
riors as ever bore arms for Hol-
land.
In 1880 Turenne was sent as q
hostage to France and at that point
his real military career. began. He
led a successful campaign of inva-
sion against the Spaniards and on
his triumphant return to France
Richelieu, out of gratitude, offered
him his daughter in marriage, but
Turenne declined the honor on relig-
ious grounds.
At the age of % Turenne was
made a field marshal and in 1913
he was raised to the rank of marshal
of France in recognition of his
valiant services. Immediately after
ward hesadded to the luster of his
war-like career by waging a success
full war in Germany, compelling the
duke of Bavaria to sue for peace.
In the early stages of the civil
wars that began in France he was
opposed to the king, but in 1851 be-
came reconciled with the court and
was made commander of the French
army. In 1867 he was appointed
marshal Of all the armies and was
chosen military tutor to Louis XIV.
He was killed by a cannon ball at
Sassbach in 1875 while engaged in
campaign against the Germans.
"Our father is dead!" cried out
his army as it fed end disbanded.

.HOMESTEADER TAKES
LIFE BY SHOOTING
TRAGEDY A SHOCK TO HIS FRIENDS WHO
HAD NO INTIMATION But THAT
HE WAS COMMENTED.

People were shocked by the re-
port that was brought in last Sat
urday forenoon to the effect that
Michael J. Kennedy. claimholder
who lived several miles southwest
of here, had been found dead in his
shack that morning.
Mr.. Kennedy was a bachelor,
who came here from WATERFOWL,
MINI. He was a large, fne-look-
ing man, forty-seven years of age
and was quite we'll known here in
town by reason Of his frequent
visits to this place. 1t is believed
that his rash act was due to some
form of insanity as his mother and
a brother died as result of mental
arrangement. No other cause has
ever been suggested as he was well
off, being worth anywhere from
thirty to forty thousand dollars
and was healthy so far as bodily
strength is concerned.
The previous day he had been
over to his neighbor. Mr.. Burns,
and requested him to come over in
the morning and help him line TIP
fence. Burns reported as re-
quested and upon entering the
shack found Kennedy on the bed.
He had removed the shoe of the
right foot. made a wire loop which
was fastened about the trigger oil
an old Springfield rifle and having
put the, muzzle of the rifle to his
mouth, discharged the gun by
pushing down on the wire 1oas
with his, toe. From all appear
ances death was instantaneous as
there was no evidence Of any
movement after the discharge and
the bullet passed out through the
lower part of the brain. through
two feather pillows, the bedstead
and the side of the house.
The body was brought to the
undertaking rooms of V. R. Lam
caster & Co., and was shipped
Monday to Watertown, Mimi, for
burial, accompanied by younger
brother, who arrived the day be-
fore to take the body back.

FIRESTEEl...A VERY
BUSY LITTLE PLACE
HAS GOOD TRADE TERRITORY AND THE
OUTLOOK IS TOWARD A CONSIDER.
ABLE GROWTH.

AS a general thing you cannot
go into the ordinary country town
on a Monday and find everybody
as busy as they can be-but that is
what Firesteel was last Monday
and they tell us that is an every
day occurance.
When the early filings were
made in May of 1910, many
thought that Firesteel would be
one of the principal towns on the
reservation. Not only that but
there was some excellent land in
that vicinity and as a result great
many hotnesteaders who had rath-
er low numbers are located in that
region.
The town was built upon the
lands of w. E. Coats and Arthur
Golden, Main street being on the
section line between them. We
were informed that a deal is just
about closed whereby the railroad
company will be decided an interest
in the east eighty now belonging
to Mr.. Goats and the west eighty
=
of Golden and that in all probable
ity the town will be moved from
the north side of the track to a
very pretty building place on the
south side. When this is done il
is expected that Firesteel will take
considerable OF a squirt in the way
of building operations and that
they will no doubt be larger and
better than the present buildings
because permanent in character.
One of the most interesting
things in that vicinity is the coal
mine which is located on the land
of Charles Lindt, couple of miles
northwest of town. The mine pro-
duces fine grade of Ignite and in
the fall teams come from a dis
lance of twenty miles to lay in
their winters supply of fuel.

BURIAL VAULT.

Alexander Stewart is going to have
a family burial vault built on his lot
at Pine Grove cemetery, which, when
completed, will be one of, if not the
most, beautiful burial vaults in the
state. The foundation for the struc-
ture has already been completed, and
is built of concrete and granite rock.
The upper part or vault will be of
New Hampshire berry granite with
rough or hewn finish, which has al
ready been hauled to the place the
past week. The whole structure has
been completed at the quarry in the
East and was shipped here by the
contractor ready to be set up. Some
of the sections are monstrous blocks.

twenty tons. 1t was impossible to

HENRY AHRENS FALLS FROM
ST. JAMES CHURCH.

Falling distance of about thirty
feet from the roof of the new st.
James church building without break
ing bone or sustaining any serious
injury is the feat accomplished by
Henry Ahrens last Thursday. Mr..
Ahrens, who is employed as carpen-
ter on the new edifice, was preparing
to descend from the roof, where he
had been working during the after
noon, a few minutes after 6 o'clock,
when he lost his footing from the
caves while making his way to the
ladder. He fell onto the ground and
lay there few minutes motionless,
but finally arose alone and started to
walk away from the place. Several
men who had seen Mr.. Ahrens fall
hastened TO assist him and helped
him into the church, where an exam
ination of his injuries was made by a
quickly summoned physician. AL
though his body showed quite a few
bruised spots and he was suffering
severe pain. there were nc evidences
of injuries of a serious nature. He
was taken to his home, zoos Seventh
street, by the ambulance where he is
now rapidly recovering from the
shock and the sustained hurts.

SPARE THOSE TREES.

Some person or persons have been
cutting numerous trees in the vicin-
ity of the Wausau highway and Bull
Junior Creek. The land in this local
ity belongs to the Wausau Sulphate
Fibre Co., and while the trees that
have been cut have no present COM
mercial value, still the intention of
the officers of the company is to pre-
serve this particular spot as a sort of
public park where people may go and
picnic or spend few hours in one of
the most picturesque beauty spots in
this or any other locality. However,
if THIS wholesale destruction Of grow
ing trees is continued, we are inform
ed that the company will forbid the
public ingress upon any of their lands.

SWINDLER In AN AUTO.

You may talk about your gentle
manly burglar in dress suit; you
may refer to your "con" man, and
you may discuss with interest some
dashing raffles-but if you want the
real thing, get in touch with the
auto swindlers. There is one travel
ing about seeing who he can short
change.
He has been heard from at several
points in the state, says the Milwau-
kee Journal.
He drives up to place, his victims
say, and grandly orders a round of
drinks. The first time there will be
no trouble Then he VII treat the
crowd to another. Now comes the
business of juggling bills, and the
saloonkeeper wakes up little later
and tries to figure it out.
"Have a care" says the sheriff TO
all who entertain such man.

WILLIAM LIEBLER DROWNED
IN RIVER.

William Liebler, aged twenty-three
years, was drowned in the Wisconsin
river Thursday forenoon, he having
fallen from swinging staging, while
engaged in painting the new iron
bridge of the Northwestern road cross
ing the river at the Barker s. Stewart
Lumber company's mill, into the
water and was Immediately drawn
under by the swift and treacherous
undercurrent. He was only seen to
rise once to the surface and it was
impossible &c give him any aid. Mr..
Liebler had come from Amigo
Wednesday evening and on Thursday
morning commenced work with
crew of men at painting the bridge.
A staging had been lowered below
the bridge, to enable the men to paint
the under portion of iron work, and
the drowned man with three others
was engaged at the work, when the
accident happened. None of the
three men can tell just how their
fellow workman came to fall off OF
the staging, as none had seen him
drop into the water, but it is supposed
that he was overcome with dizziness
and lost his balance. He had been
complaining about the conditions un-
der which he was working, saying
that he was afraid of falling into the
water and that if he did, he surely
would drown, as he could not swim.
His fears were realized only too soon,
as he lost his life before finishing
even half dayat the work. A search
for the body was Immediately begun,
but it was not until 5:l5 O'Clock in
the afternoon, that the body was
brought to the surface, it not having
been carried very far from the place
where the unfortunate young man
fell into the water. The body was
viewed by Coroner e. E. Schulze, and
after learning the circumstances of
the accident, as far as was known to
the men working with Mr.. Liebler,
he decided it was unnecessary to hold
an inquest, as the drowning was
case of accident, for which no one was
to blame. He is survived by his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Liebler of
North Yakima, WASH, and one sis
ter, Mrs. John Diamond of North
Crandon. The body was taken to
Amigo, where the funeral was held
