Madison.-The initial bill to be

at its fifty-first session was the good
roads bill desired by the highway
commission.

$45O,O0O which is to be available for
the carrying on the work of the COM

The legislature took a step in the
direction of demonstrating that it in

The reason for the introduction Of
the good roads bill this early is SO
that the appropriation shall, il posi-
bic, be available for the use of the
commission in April The initial ap-
preparation to the board made two
years ago was $35O,000. This has

WOMAN CONFESSES
Staying HUSBAND
Albert Patzer of Synco Killed
Because of QuarreIs.
NET DEATH AT DINNER TABLE
Woman Was Suspected Despite Her
Dramatic Story of Strange Assailant
Arrested After Attending Funeral
With Twelve Children.

Manawa - Mrs. Albert Patzer,
whose husband was murdered at the
dinner table in his home at Symco,
an inland town near here, has con-
fessed to the Staying. She was taken
into custody Immediately after the
funeral.
II could not bear 20 live with him

and struck him down. There had been
no murder in my heart while | pre-
pared the meal. But after | returned
TO the kitchen and began to think,

sire to free myself. After | had killed
him / Strengthened him up in his
chair at the table and washed the

Mrs. Patzer told dramatic story
to explain the murder when she sum-
moned physicians to her aid She
said she was in the kitchen and
heard sounds of struggle. She
rushed into the room in time to catch
a feeting glimpse of a strange man
going out of the door, she said and
found her husband upon the floor,
blood streaming from his head. He
had been struck from behind with
blunt instrument. When her story
had been told a posse was formed and
farmers joined in the search for the
murderer. Suspicion rested upon Mrs.
PatZer, but her apparent grief when
attending the funeral accompanied
by her twelve children changed the
feeling of the neighbors TO sympathy
and her arrest and confession has
caused sensation
