People Of Cherokee Greatly Aroused
Over Osath Of Mrs. Hesssnius.
Cherokee, Feb. S.-The developments
following the death Of Mrs. Ernest p.
Hessenius, wife Of a prosperous Cher
okee county farmer, have caused a
great sensation in this section. Hes
senius, who was arrested Saturday at
the grave Of his wife on the charge OF
murder. will have his preliminary
hearing on next Monday. He is now
in the Cherokee county JAIL having
been refused bond. Hessenius, who is
alleged to have choked his wife to
death, claims that the woman was
killed by falling from a balcony OF
the house while shaking out bed
clothes. A postmortem resulted in fnd-
ing that the woman died by strangula-
ton instead Of by conclusion Of the
brain, as the husband asserts. 1t is
alleged that the couple had been quar-
reliEg recently.
On last Wednesday,, the day of Mrs
Hessenius's death, she wanted to go to
Cleghorn to church dinner, but her
husband objected. She sent one of the
children to a neighbours to tell them to
come for her, and when the child re-
turned home her mother was dead. At
the first inquest the husband testi-
fed that while he was in the barn he
heard screams he rushed to the house
and found his wife dead with her head
cut and skull crused. The first person
to arrive at the house was Harvey
Geibe, a cream route man. Neighbors
say that the stove was broken and
mirror shattered. They claim there
were only mems footsteps on the bal
cony, from which Hessenius claims his
wife fell to her death.

Quoted an investigation about the Hes

BATHING AU NATURE
BRING ON A fight

NEW YORK Special.-There will
be no more bathing without bathing
suits or Sunday selling of LIQUOR in
National Park. a hamlet in Glouces-
ter county. n. j., about three miles
from Woodbury., if Mayor William II.
Abdil continues his health and
strength.
The Mayor made that positive an
nouncement Tuesday while he nursed
a mourning eye.
black eyes either" he said. There
are some others in the Park, and there
may be some more"
Black eyes became the fashion in
Natronal Park early Tuesday after the
Town Council adjourned the Monday
night meeting. At the session almost
every man in the body let some other
man feel the weight of his fist. Many
other citizens took part in the general
fight.
Natronal Park dwellers have COM
planned to Mayor Aboill that il was
indecent for the river front to be made
a public bathing beach when none of
the bathers wore a suit.
Sconed at His Order.
III stop that" said the Mayor. and
the order went forth that there must
be no more river bathing in the town
limits unless the bather was clad mod
estly.
There amt a bathing suit in Ma
tronal Park. ana there amt going to
be any the opposition party an
nounced. And what's more. bathing
is going TO continue. Folks that blush
at the sight of bathers can look the
other way"
This aroused the Mayor to action.
He told the police force he must ar
rest all offenders. The Mayor added
that the Sunday selling of liquor must
cease.
But the job was too much for the
force. He threatened to resign unless
he got assistance. SO the force was
doubled, then trebled and that num-
ber doubled.
