ELKHART. Ind, Aug. 1S.-A sing
ular condition arose in connection
with the sudden death Monday morn
ing Of Frederick Clinton Cronk.
former Lake Shore engineer and more
recently engaged in the dairy bust
ness. About a year ago Mr.. Cronk
purchased the milk wagon route Of
A d. Wells and had failed to show
anyone else the rounds. A list Of his
patrons was not available and as Mr..
Wells is out of the city, more than
100 customers were forced 10 do with
out their daily supply.
Mr.. Cronk, who was 81 years of

and then moved to this city, which
had been his home ever since. He
was soon promoted to the position of
engineer and ran an engine for a
number or years, finally retiring and
becoming inspector of engines, which
position he filled until about four
years ago, when he retired perma-
nently.
After his retirement from railroad
ing Mr.. Cronk conducted a billiard
and pool room at No. COS S. Main st.
until last September, when he sold out
and purchased the A. d. Wells dairy
business. in which he was engaged at
his death. Mr.. Cronk was a member

MURDER MAY ENTER
DROWNING OF Wife
Mrs. Fahrar Call Found in the
River - Husband Said to
Have Threatened to do
Away" With Woman.

Mystery surroua ds the drowning OF
Mrs. Fahrar Call in the river at the
foot Of Race st. Saturday afternoon.
Domestic troubles OF a serious IA
ture brought the wife, her husband
and the lntter's brother into tho city
court Saturday afternoon and the al
fair ended with the Disappearance OF
Mrs. Call later n the evening. Her
body was found Monday afternoon BY
Police CHIEF Frick IN the river about
80 feet above the dam, while the off,
Ger was looking for clues.
Trouble started when Call is said
TO have found l1is wife and a relative,
Joe George, under embarrassing cir
cumstances IA the kitchen OF the Call
home. The husband and his brother
brought the woman 10 the station and
Through an interpreter asked the
prosecutor 10 Issue a warrant Tor
george on a charge OF assault They
were informed that Il would be impos-
sible 10 make out such q case against
the men. after which the husband
changed his demand and asked Tor
the arrest OF his wife on an adultery
charge. It was found that this charge
could not be sustained either.
Following this the husband is said
to have become angry and II liz said
he threatened TO "dO away with his
wife. The prosecutor, Atty. J. w
SCHNEIDER. asked him what he meant
by this. whereupon he and his brother
are said to have stated that they
would take the woman to South Bend
and put her away. They were
warned against any such conduct,
following which the session at the po-
lice court broke up.
Call was the first to leave the sta
ton followed in about five minutes by
his brother. The wife left shortly
after, all going in the direction Of the
river. The husband and brother
reached home but the wife never
came.
Sunday came and since the woman
failed 10 put in an appearance the
police were notified. Chief Frick sus-
pected the river and while walking
along the dam discovered the woman
lifeless body in the water, her clothes
hanging TO the submerged branch OF a
tree.
The body was taken to the Thall-
mer undertaking rooms where II is
being held awaiting burial.
Coroner Swantz was called and is
still working on the case. 1t is the
general opinion that the woman COM
mitted suicide, but or account Of the
husbands alleged declaration that ne
would do away w n his wife, there is
a possibility that murder has entered
into the case.
Call. the husband, is in Michigan
City, where he went Saturday evening
ostensibly for the purpose of finding
his wife.
George is being held in the city jail
TO swat Developments in the case.
The funeral Of Mrs. Call will prob
ably be held some time Tuesday

According TO official dispatches,
Constitutionalist forces nov are on
both sides Of the river for some dis

Wheeling and Tacoma can view the
fighting.
Only a few male foreigners and no
women remain ashore in the neutral
zone and these can be taken aboard at
a moments notice. American officers
are keeping close watch on the situa-
ton, however, because Of possible dan
ger to foreign property. Warnings
have been given both sides not to
