ABSENT WIFE AND FROZEN
PLMBIRG PROVE UNDOING OF
MASTER MECHANIC FAGAN

The boys around the railroad shops
are telling a good one on Master
Mechanic Fagan. Mrs. Fagan left
several days ago for a Denver visit
and during her absence Mr. Pagan
made a business trip to Glenwood
Springs. He returned yesterday
morning on No. 3. arriving here at
4 o'clock. His home on Chipeta
avenue and Fourth street was as cold
as a barn when he slipped in during
the wee hours of the morning. The
frost was a fraction of an inch thick
on the panes and the furnace was as
cold as the refrigerator.
1t was with consid cradle difficult
ty that the master mechanic managed
to get into bed and there he found
the blankets too cold to sleep be-
tween. Somehow, he managed to
pass away the icy hours until about
8 o'clock, when he got up, donned his
clothes and went out to the bathroom
The cold of the night before instead
of bursting the pipes had forced the
basins up from their hangings and
they had fallen on the floor, break
ing practically all the porcelain ware
in the room. The open pipes were
covered with giant masses of ice
while the bath tub connections were
in practically the same condition. Mr.
Fagan called up several plumbers and
then went downstairs to fire up the
furnace. He heaved in the coal until
the house was roaring warm. He
went into the bathroom to see how
the plumber was getting along and
found that that worthy had not yet
arrived. The ice, however, had melt
cd and thn f1nnr gnunr1l inch
deep with icy water, the hallway was
flooded and the flow had started
down the carpeted stairs. Fagan, in
frenzy. tried to staunch the flood
with rugs, but these, too. became
water soaked without lessening ap-
preciably the stream from the pipes.
The plumber finally came and with
the deliberateness of his kind, To-
Gated the shut-off valve and cut off
the water This was not accomplish
ed, however, until the whole upper
floor was awash and Mr.. Pagan in
sists that he saw his favorite spittoon
floating out of window.
Some little headway was made yes
terday in clearing up the debris, but
last evening the temperature took an
other big drop and this morning the
occupant of the house found every
thing frozen that the night before
saw only wet. Mrs. Pagan is COM
ing home today or tomorrow and
her husband hopefully expects her
to assist in doing spring houseclean-
ing during the next few days.
In the meantime, he swears he will
never spend another evening at home
while his wife is away. From now
on, he is quoted as saying. lit will
be some nice, warm hotel for me-

WOMAN TELLS
Of KILLING Of
SON-|N-LAW
,entinel Snecial Service.

Sentinel Special Service.
Mobile. Ala, Jan. 3.-Mrs. Mary
T. Godau today gave details of the
murder of her son-in-law, Policeman
Fred Wassertaben. She said she shot
Wassertaben once while he was in
bed and then shot him again as he
rolled out of bed "to prevent his lin
gering in suffering" She then dress
ed him in his uniform and carried
him from the house in a wagon.
81 hauled the body through the
rain to a pond, backed the wagon in
to it and bumper the body out she
said.
That the murder of Wassertaben
formed the fourth sudden death in
Mrs. Godau's family became known
this afternoon.
Charles Stein, the first husband of
Mrs. Godau, was shot in "A field on
his farm. supposedly by night mu-
rauders. He carried several thous-
and dollars life insurance.
The second husband, William
Green. disappeared from home and
was never heard from again.
Mrs. Godau was arrested for the al
legged murder of her late husband,
William Godau, who was found dead
in September, 1902. near his chick
en- house. The woman was acquitted.
Her husband was insured for $4,000
and she got this money after legal
fight.
Policeman Wassertaben carried in
surance to the amount of $1,000.
The coroner's jury today returned
a verdict charging AIRS. 'Godau with
murder. The jury also recommended
that Wassertaben' wife and broth
er-in-law, William Green, be held as
accessories.
At the inquest Mrs. Godau testifi-
ed that she shot Wassertaben while
he was in bed because he invited her
to kill him after he had insulted her.

BOHEMIAN GIRL" To Be
MUSICAL HIT OF SEASON

No event of the season has caused
as much interest in theatrical circles
here as the coming of the Sheehan
English Opera company for per-
formance of Balfe's favorite opera,
The Bohemian Girl" with a cele-
brated all-star cast.
Not only here, but in the surround
ing cities as well, mail orders and
inquiries are pouring in and never
before has as much interest been
shown in a performance in this city.
This is no doubt due to the fact that
perhaps never before in America has
this popular opera been given with
as many celebrated artists as com
prise the all-star cast of the Sheehan
English Opera company. In addition
to the famous tenor himself the cast
includes such celebrities as Miss
Gladys Caldwell Miss Marion Walk

Swickard, MIR. Francis j. Tyler. Mr..
William J. Jorgenson, and others of
