old friends and acquaintances, appar-
emily as happy as could be. That
lSame evening his lifeless body was
found hanging from +he rafters of the
barn on the farm which he had been
living on for several months.
There is no explanation Of the
shoemaker's terrible deed He was
apparently in the best of spirits when
he was in Keokuk. His friends who
saw him Thursday, found him in bet
ter humor than they had for some
time. The only explanation they can
give is tina. his mood suddenly chang
ed, or that he became angry at some
thing and in blind rage decided to
end it all.
Frauenstein went to the barn to
feed the stock as was his custom. He
evidently tied rope through the
manger rafters and the other end tied
about his neck. He jumped from the
Manager, and when his folks missed
him and investigated. they found only
his lifeless body.
Mr.. Frauenstein was we'll known
here He conducted shoe shop here
for many years. A year ago last fail
he said he was tired of city life and
went 20 live on farm a few miles
out from Canton, Mo.
Decedent was a native Of Saxony,
and was sixty-five years old. He came
to Keokuk in the early SOS and lived
here until 1913 when he removed to
Missouri He was the owner Of con-
siderable real estate and. property,
but disposed OF it when he left the
city. He is survived by his widow
and one daughter.
The body was brought to Canton
yesterday for burial. Coroner Rebo
Of Alexandria held an inquest over the
body.

ANNOUNCES SUBJECT
OF TALK TO GLASS
Orator, to Speak on "Bul-
wark Of Nation"

Prof Arthur MacMurray, head of
the public speaking department at
Ames college, who will deliver the
commencement day address at Keo-
kuk Friday evening, June -, before
the class Of 1914, of the Keokuk high
school will speak on the subject, "The
Bulwark of Our Nation
Prof. MacMurray will deal with the
value Of education as a factor in our
national greatness, and as a defense
of the success Of our educational sys-
TENS. The necessity for cooperation
in making schools Of any community
success will be suggested by the
speaker.

second shot struck him in front and
inflicted wounds about the chin and
above the Adams apple.
Wells wife took him home after
the shooting and Hardin went home
VIII are he was taken in custody by
the Montrose official. County Attor-
ney McManus and Sheriff Crimmins
went to Montrose yesterday morning
to investigate the shooting. A prelim-
mary hearing was held at which Har-
DIN was accused of assault with in
tent to kill. He was bound over to
await the action OF the grand jury.
His bond was fxed at $3.50 which he
gave instanter.
Public sentiment in Montrose seems
to favor the defense. Wells, on the
other hand, is said to have tried to
have Hardin indicted by the last
grand jury. He claims he has been
forcing attentions upon his wife.
Should Wells die, it Is probable that
a charge OF murder will be placed
against Hardin by Attorney McManus.

pected death. She was about seventy
