Carried Much Insurance.

Fisher is known to have carried be-
tween 100000 and $25O,ooo life in
surance. All policies were made pay
able to his wife. Some months ago
Arebach and Fisher came to Michigan
from Chicago and purchased a 24O-
acre tract of land in Lake county,
near Big Star lake.
Mrs. Fisher says the men said thew
were going out to shoot birds.
When they left the house last
Thursday morning they took with
them high power 5000 calibre Win
chester repeating rifle and three cart
ridges.
An hour later Arebach ran to the
home of farmer living nearby and
told him that Fisher had accidentally
shot himself when the rifle fell from
stump.
He then went to the bungalow and
told Mrs. Fisher of the shooting. AS
soon as the body was carried to the
house Arebach went to the village un-
dertaker and told him to make all
possible haste in preparing the body
that he and Mrs. Fisher could leave
that night with 1t for independence,
Iowa.
An examination of the body by the
coroner's jury showed that the bullet
went straight in, a thing which could
not have happened had the rifle been
exploded in the manner described by
Arebach The jury held Arebach res
sponsible for the death of the man
and the sheriff took him into custody.

Besides the diploma Mr.. Clarke
gave two Masonic aprons and a
breast plate of the commandry
One of the aprons is over 100 years
old. 1t is of white silk and is
hand painted with the emblems OF
1902 and on the inside of the apron
has the signature of Mr.. Clarkes
grandfather and the date 1926.
The breast plate is of gold and is
point to point AT one time it was
set with valuable stones and the
inside which represents the sun,
moon and stars, is badly battered,
much of the enamel being Clipped
off and the pearls gone The breast
plate is at least two hundred years
old, and is the kind worn by the
master masons of that day.
All of these things were in Mr..
Clarke's family for several genera
tons and are valuable for their
associations as well as their anti
guilty. C. A. Chapman, who is
treasurer of the commandery here,
has them in his keeping.

the fire at that time and immedi

of the fire. Miss Dorothy Watts
who was also living at the place,
was in the house at the time and
had to be awakened.
The flames had obtained such
Roadway that the efforts of the fire
fighters proved futile, and the house
was practically destroyed. Just how
the fire started is not known, but it
is said to have started in the sum

to the other rooms, until the flames
shot out of the windows and were
discovered by Mr.. Little.
The loss is placed at $4,000, with
insurance of $4,000. However, this is

. WAS VETERAN ENGINEER
From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
Richard Temple, one of the most
well and favorably known engineers
on this division of the Omaha rail

Duluth, at $3.50 yesterday morning,
after suffering from a hemorrhage,
following an illness of several
months. He and his wife had been

he was again taken sick with a
hemorrhage at Duluth and brought
to the st. Lukes hospital.

to December. 1911, he had been i'll
with tumors, but was considered
practically well at the time of his

years. AT the time of his death he
was engineer on the night switch

has lived in Mankato about twelve
years. He is descendant of a line

years old. His father had quite a
prominent part in the early days of
railroad engineering. He was fire
man on the first locomotive engine
built by Stephenson in 1925 that ran
between Stockton and Darlington.
He was soon promoted to driver.
This engine, primitive affair COM
pared with the elaborate iron-horse
of today, stands on a pedestal in
the Stockton yard and it's photo
graph is preserved as relic in the
family Mr.. Temple for some time
held the honorable position of driv-
err on the royal train between Wind
sor and London. After time he
removed, with his young family, to
employed on the Great Northern
railroad He passed through the ex-

Tuesday, they had been married ex-
actly twenty-three years.

also survived by sister, Mrs. Will
liam Pitt of Hamilton, Canada, and
a brother, Matt Temple, who is an
engineer on the Northwestern road

Lamm's Orchestra
Address BY Or. Bracken
DR.. Bracken spoke of the two kinds
of nurses of the past, the motherly
sort, like the old "mammies." and
the lovers of the bottle, who were a
real nightmare. He said that the day
of both of these is past and in their
place is the real trained nurse of
today, who goes into the work be-
cause it is her choice as an Occupa-
ton, and not because there is moth
ing else at which she can make a
living. He spoke of the two first
great nurses, Florence Nightingale
and Clara Barton, whose work is
known to everyone, and both of
whom had died within the past two
years. The history of the trained
nurse is a history of not more than
forty years.
"The day of the family doctor is
to a large extent passing, for the
doctors are specializing. And already
the nurses are specializing to a GER
tain extent. There are visiting
nurses, school nurses and anti-tuber-
cular nurses, who are increasing in
every ySdl
Congratulated Mankato.
"Mankato is to be congratulated
upon the way in which she handled
her typhoid epidemic of four years
ago. The epidemic was handled
well, and instead of having many
secondary cases of the sickness they
secured help to follow it up in the
home and prevented such cases al
most entirely.
'fMankato is also to be congratu-
lated that it has good hospitals and
a good training school for nurses,
and upon thinking of providing
hospital to take care of preventable
diseases"
DR.. J. w. Andrews was unable to
be present and his address was read
by his son, DR.. r. N. Andrews. Inc
other addresses were all practical
and helpful to the nurses and inter
esting to the people assembled there.
The music was delightful. The en-
tire program was great success
and a fitting end for the training
course of the nurses who received
their diplomas last night.
