MRS. CARRIE MICIlLER DEAD.
Passed Away Monday Afternoon ut
Hospital in Columbia.

The news of the death Of Mrs. Car
rie Mickler, formerly of Walhalla,
which occurred Monday afternoon at
a hospital in Columbia, was received
in Walhalla with deep regret. Mrs.
Mickler was well known here, she
and her husband, the late Capt. J. p.
Mickler, having resided here for
many years. For long while Capt.

ber of years, since the death of Capt.

bia, where she was taken several
weeks ago for treatment. The body
was brought to Greenwood Tuesday
morning and the funeral services
were conducted from the home of hel
daughter, Mrs. l.. NJ. Barre, by Rev.
l.. p. McGee. Interment was made in
the city cemetery.
Mrs. Mickler was about 80 years
OF age and had been in i'll health for
some time. News of her death comes
with peculiar sadness on account of
the serious illness of Mrs. Barre in
q Baltimore hospital. Besides Mrs.
Barre she leaves two other daught-
ers, Mrs w. A. Strother, of Walhalla,
and Mrs. Richard C. Strother, of At

Rotterdam, Nov. 14.-From the time

of wounded have been reported in
many sections of Germany. These
have been mostly cases which are
classified as slightly wounded, al
though some of them are %grievously
hurt. One young mamie did not look
older than twenty-five had been
struck at an angle through the left
eye.

The plan of sending back the slight
ly wounded is new in the German
army. The badly hurt soldiers are
held at the base hospitals. but all the
slightly wounded will spend their con.
valescence with their families and
friends.
This relieves the government of the
expense Of maintaining these men dur

A Unique Murder Trial as
Described by the Foreman
Of the Jury, In Which Is
Revealed the MostAstound=
ing and Uncomfortable Act
Of Rascality.
e.
Copyright, 1905. by Harper Bros.

PROLOGUE.
The office of foreman on the jur-. in
the People versus Emory case falls
to the lot of Mr.. Lambert, a literary
man, whose qualifications lay in his
absolute ignorance of the case. Ferris
Barstow, a man Of tenacious tenden-
cies, is tho lawyer of the accused girl,
Alice Emory, former private secretary
of Gregory Shaw, who was found muir
dered mysteriously In his home. In
presenting the case to the jury Deake
Gilbert, the prosecutor, explains the
facts in detail, and the evidence all
points to the guilt Of the accused. In
Diminishing the jurors for the day Judge
Dudley admonishes them to keep free
from all discussion of the case. The
foreman, homeward bound, assists
Barbara Frayne, a young horsewoman,
and unw1llingly listens to a declara-
ton on the Emory case. Barbara Is
full of detestation for the prosecutor
because Of his belligerent attitude to-
ward the accused, whom she feels is
innocent. The foreman visits the scene
ofGhe murder. Viewing the house from
the outside, he overhears Madeline
Napes, the h~ousekeeper, endeavoring
to persuade Betty Field, another serv-
ant, to forget all about a blue skirt
she had seen the former put in the fur
nac At this moment Barstow's as
sistant. Mr.. Hunt, visits the women in
an effort to get them to leave the
neighborhood where their testimony
might lnjure the accused. Lambert,
supposing his forced eavesdropping
disqualifies him from acting further as
a juror, seeks out Gilbert at Barbara
Crayne's home.
