CAUSE OF ASSAULT.
Young Man Showed He Was Under
Semi-compulsiont to Resent Insult
Of Lame Cobbler.

Strasburg, Germany, Dec. o.
Lieut.. Won Forstner who was the cause
Of the recent troubles between mill
tary and civilians at Zabern, Alsace,
has been sentenced to 43 days i'm
prisonment and deprived of his COM
mission as an officer. He was charged
with assaulting lame shoemaker.
In his testimony, Won Forstner
showed that he had acted in the way
he did under semi-compulsion. He had
been threatened with impeachment be-
fore a court of honor if he showed
the slightest reluctance against using
his weapons. He testified that the Of
fcers had received repeated orders
from army headquarters and from the
regimental commander to adopt an az
gressive attitude, to stand no nonsense
from civilians, and to permit no in.
suits or abuse.
Lieut.. Won Forstner said he acted
Under prevailing German assumption
that an officer was irretrievably dis.
honored if he permitted himself to re-
ceive blow. He said that the lame
shoemaker might have gotten loose
from the men and might have struck
him before the soldiers could over
power him again and then Lieut.. Won
Forstner would have been disgraced.
Colonel Won Reuter-, commander of
the Goth regiment, said he had instruct
ed his officers to act aggressively as
possible. A Prussion officer, he con-
tinued, must not permit disrespect to
be shown him. He had threatened, he
said, to bring them before a court of
honor if they did not follow his in
etructions and he had advised Lieut..
Won Forstner, who In another report
the colonel had characterized as in
experienced and hasty, to use both his
sabre and his revolver if necessary.

SKELETON BELIEVED TO BIB
THAT OF WOMAN GONE n1
IS YEARS. 'oS
PROBABLY CASE Of MURDER
Proof OF This Seen BY oId-Time Resi-.
dents-Woman Starting to Visit
Place Long Sought in the
Woods.

Minneapolis, Dec. ga mystery OF
fhirty-five years, growing out of the
sudden disappearance of Mrs. Bessie
Apgar, of Long Lake, was believed to
have been partly solved by the discov-
cry of a human skeleton in a shallow
grave on the Mimi Hartman farm, a
few rods from the house in which the
young woman formerly lived The
disappearance was the talk of the
county at the time and the story was
revived at Long Jake and at Excel
sior when it was learned that a
skeleton, believed to be that of Mrs
Apgar, had been found. t-
Found BY Workman. ,.
The skeleton was found by George
Turnham, of Crystal Bay, Lake Mime
tonka, while he was taking gravel
from the Hartman farm. Mr.. Turn
ham notified Sheriff Otto Langum and
there will be an investigation.
Relatives of Mrs. Apgar will see
that the skeleton is given proper
burial
The fact that the body had been
buried was accepted by residents of
Long Lake and rela ives of the woman
who are living still, as proof that she
was the victim of murder plot. A
theory that she had died from exhaus
ton while walking in the woods wa.
dissolved by the fact that the grave
was thirty inches deep, they say.
II always believed that my aunt
was killed and so did the other rela
tives," said A. S. Apgar, of Excelsior
nephew Of All Apgar, husband of the
missing woman. eve never said who
we suspected, but we always believed
that someone killed her.
Will Investigate Discovery.
Mr.. Apgar said that he would inves
tigate the discovery of the body and
would ask to have a physician examine
the skeleton and Sc if the bones are
those of a woman. The skeleton was
in the gravel so long that portions OF
1t crumbled when it was removed.
Mrs. Bessie Apgar was Is years old
at the time of her disappearance and
her husband had died only a few
weeks before. The two owned the
farm which now adjoins the Hartman
farm. One day All Apgar, then about
40 years old, was taken i'll in the
field and went to the house, where he
died shortly afterward.
Mrs. Apgar after the funeral decid
ed to live with her mother in Excel
sior and after Strengthening up the
business affairs she went to Excelsior
She then, according to the story, sold
the farm to William Wakefield, better
known as Mono" who took that name
to indicate that the spirit of an In
dian who formerly bore it controlled
him. Wakefield moved into the house
and lived there for many years.
Shortly after releasing possession
of the farm Mrs. Apgar left her moth
er's home, saying she was going to
the farm to get some personal belong
ings she had left there. She never re
turned. The district through which
she would pass was then wild and the
disappearance alarmed the country
side.
