WHITEHEAD ANDI
BODY BRUISED
May Have Been Thrown From
Wagon and Run Over is
Another Theory.
FOUND DEAD LAST NIGHT
Wagon Returns Without
Driver and Then Search
is Instituted for Him.

John r. Wegener, formerly dis
trict agent of the American Central
Insurance Co. end a citizen OF Cairo
for many years, was either murdered
or aecidentiy killed some time during
last night. His body was found "
ing on the road about a mile from his
home in the drainage district, near
Woods farm. The head waa
crushed and other bruises on the
body indicated that he might have
been murdered.
This information was telephoned
about 1870 this morning to Sheriff
Fraser and Deputy Sheriff Greaney
by Charles Spiller, who resides on
Woods farm.
Wegener had driven to Cairo with
his team yesterday and when he did
not return as early as anticipated
his wife became alarmed about his
safety, and All the night wore on she
became greatly distracted All last
she heard in the distance the rafting
Of wagon as the team approached
and her fears were reduced until she
saw that there was no one in the
wagon-tho team had come home
alone.
Charles Spiller. on Woods farm,
and others were reached and
search was instituted along the
road from the Wegener farm
towards Cairo and at point about
a mile from his home Wegeners body
was found alongside, the road.
1t was at first thought that he
might have fallen off the wagon and
the wheels passing over his head and
body has caused his death. Only on
a thorough examination by sur
gean, 1t was agreed, could decide the
question of whether he had been
murdered or had met death by fall
ing from his wagon.
Sheriff Fraser. Deputy Sheriff
Greaney and Coroner McManus left
at O'Clock this morning in an auto
mobile for the Wegener farm to in
yestigate the case.
Wegener is young man OF about
81 years of age. He Is a son of
Mrs. Minnie G.. Wogener, a widow,
who resided with her family for
many years on Nineteenth street,
west of Washington avenue, later re-
moving to GIG Fifteenth street, tho
John Woods homestead.
Charles Wegener, formerly with
the Singer works office force, is a
brother; he now resides in Cali

g ARE CHARTER "
MEMBERS ANNAH
BELLE SOCIETY
First Meeting is Held at Resi-
dence of Mrs. ]. E.
Strong.

Sixty-two little girls Joined the
Anna Belle Sewing Society yester-
dav afternoon at the frst meeting,
which was held at the home of Mrs
j. e. Strong, at 709 Washington
avenue.
The charter meeting was a great
success. AT 1870 the little folks be-
gan to arrive and they soon made the
entire place look like a great boquet
Of beautiful flowers.
So great was the horde of little
people all clamcring to know about
Anna Belle and the certificates and
the sewing work, that 1t was impos-
sible to do more than take down the
names, collect the initial months
fee, after which the children were
allowed to depart with the assur-
ance that their certificates would all
be made out as soon as possible and
the next meeting announced in a
near issue of The Bulletin.
Despite the utmost care It was
found that either several children
had paid more than their fee called
for or some of the names did not get
taken down for there was thirty
cents surplus when the money was
counted.
Those who attended constitute
the charter members Of the So
ciety and their names are placed on
the charter roll
Mrs. Strong was chosen as general
manager. She will select about ten
assistants among the best qualified
ladies of Cairo and they will act as
managers under her general super
vision. Mrs Strong was much
pleased with the result OF the meet
ing and is determined that the little
girls shall get something from the
society that will be of real value to
them.

Chicago, Sept. William Rugh,

several days ago to give his crippled
leg in order that the skin might be
grated to the body of Miss Ethel
Smith, who is dying of burns. will
make the sacrifice tomorrow. Rugh
and Miss Smith will lie on adjoining
tables of the operating room of the
Gary, Ind, hospital while the young
mans leg is amputated and the still
living skin applied to the burns on
Miss Smiths body.
The sacrifice of limb in such
cases Is said to be without precedent
in the annals Of surgery.
Fifty per cent. of the skin was
burned from Miss Smiths body in
an explosion in a motor cycle acct
dent several days ago The burns
were SO extensive that healing would
not start and it became known that
Miss Smith was doomed to die.
Rush Immediately offered his leg,
but it was only today that Miss
Smiths parents and physicians con-
sented to accept the sacrifice.
