WOMAN KILLED CHILD TO HIDE
SECRET FROM HUSBAND?
Salt Lake City, Utah, June 3d.
Mrs. August Ekman is under arrest
here today, charged with the muir
der of her twelve-year-old daughter,
Frances.
The police say that Mrs. Ekman
murdered the girl in order to hide
the fact of her existence from her
husband.
Mrs. Ekman was sweated for hours
today by the police. Before she was
through with the torture, she adj
mitted she had slain her child.
The most horrible feature of the
whole story is that Mrs. Ekman car
ried the body of the child she had
murdered with her on reconciliation
trip" with her husband.
Mrs. Ekman's real name is Mrs. G.
L. Anderson. Twelve years ago her
husband, G.. L. Anderson, left her.
Soon afterward she went to live with
a man named Williams, whose child
Frances really was
Recently Mrs. Ekman-Anderson
heard that her real husband, Ander-
son, was in Wyoming. She arranged
a reconciliation with him. Because
she was afraid that if he thought
she had a child by some other man
he would not again live with her.
Mrs. Ekman killed her daughter,
Frances.
She stuffed the body into a trunk
and when her husband and herself
went on a second honeymoon, Mrs.
Ekman-Anderson carried the trunk
around with her.
She and her husband spent twelve
nights with the trunk containing the
dead body in the same room.
Anderson says he knew nothing. of
the contents of the trunk until the

thrown into great excitement by
sharp earthquake shock. Those
in business districts thought an
explosion had occurred and thous-

thinking buildings were about to
fall. For some time the cause
of the shock was not understood,
but when similar reports came
in from considerable area it
was known that an earthquake
had been experienced. The
shock was severe enough to
knock down several chlmneys.
No serious damage is reported.

The Next Worse Life.

The preacher has u hard time.
If his hair ia gray, he is old. If
he is young man, he hasn't had
experience. If he has ten chill
dren, he has too many. Ii he
has none, he should have, and
isn't setting good example. If
his wife sings in the choir, she is
presuming. If she don't she
isn't interested in her husbands
work. If a preacher reads from
notes, he is a bore. If he speaks
extemporaneously, he isn't deep
enough. Ii he stays at home in
his study, he doesn't mix with
the people. II he is seen around
the streets, he ought to be at
home getting up good sermon.
If he calls on some very poor
family, he is playing to the
grand stand. If he calls at the
home of the rich, he is an aristo-
| crat. Whatever he does some
| one could have told him how to
| do better. He has q fine time
living off donations which never
come in, and promises that new
er mature. Next to being an
editor, it is an awful life.

GRUNDY COUNTY.
Data Upon Its Early History
by w. c. Alternately.
Continued from last week.

NSOulluueu IrOll ibSt Week'J
The various courts of Grundy
County were held contin uously
at the residence of Jesse Wooten
on top Of Cumberland Mountain
from October, l844, until the
county seat was e3tablis ed at
Altamont; and the first court
was held ihere il 1S4S. The
question of the esta olishm mt of
D county seat foi th , new county
was uppermost in the nj DIS Of
tuost OF the citizens, and its To-
cation and the cost of construc
tion of the public buildings were
discussed pro and con for some
time by the leading men of tile
county. Isaac FL. Roberts, who
resided at Pelham, and Adrian
Northcut who resided in North
cuts Cove, were both members
Of the legislature that passed the
law creating Grundy County, the
former representing Coffee Coun
ty and the latter Warren County,
aud they both became citizens of
the new county, and each were
conspicuous in almost every
movement in the or ,aniza'ion of
Grundy County, but they often
entertained opposite views on
public questions. AS above
stated the first question of gen.
eral Importance to the pee ole of
the new county was that of es-
tablishing a county seat. A num-
Der of sites were suggested, in
Guiding Pelham, Burroughs cove,
Wooten place, Beersheba Springs,
and Northcuts cove. The strug.
Gle was hardly on until it was
apparent that Isaac FL. Roberts
favored the selection of Pelham,
while Adrian Northcut wanted
tho county seat in Northcuts
cove; after considerable discus
sion q compromise WAS reached
locating 1t on the mountain be-
tween the two points, and an
election was held in October,
1S48, and this selection ratified !;
a town was laid off and named
"Altamont," signifying "High
| Mountain" Preparations to
build courthouse were begun at
once, but a tax levy had to be
made and then wait until the
money could be collected before
any very marked progress could
be made, SO the courthouse was
not completed until the year
1850, and the first court was held
in it on the Bird day of June of
that year. From October, 1S4S,
to June, 1850, the courts were
held at the residence of Mr..
David Richie, which was locat.
ed Just below where Mr.. John
Greeter's saw mill il now locat-
ed, on the west side of main
street in Altamon.. 1t was a
large log structure, and was
afterwards torn down by Mr.. I'll.
B. Northcut and moved and re.
built just to the rear of his brick
residence, where it stands today
aud is used by the family as a
wash house.
The first county court that was
held in the new courthouse on
the 3rd day of June, 1850, was
presided over by Richard Brad
ford, chairman, A. s. Goodman
and Richard M. Stepp, justices
Of the quorum. That house. a
frame building constructed of
mountain yellow pine, was de-
stroyed by fire of unknown origin
in October, 1882, together with
the records Of the Circuit Court
Clerks Office, except one execu-
tion docket. Record books A,
