Wife of Man Sentenced to Still
I water Penitentary
Asks Damages.
HUSBAND SLAYER
OF: AXEL PAKKALA
Mccoy & Gould and Cantrell & Me-
Farland Must Defend Suit for
Damages in Large Sum-Mrs.-
Drexler Resident of Milwaukee,
and Was Never Supported by Her
Husband.

According to we'll authenticated
story going the rounds of the city
this week the firms of Mccoy &
Gould and Cantrell & Mcfarland, re-
tail liquor dealers of this city, will
be named defendants in a suit for
damages in large sum, about to be
started by Mrs. John Drexler of Mil
Waukee, whose husband is serving a
life sentence in the state pententiary
at illwater for the shooting of John
Koski and Axel Pakkala in the latter's
saloon on Christmas morning, 1912.
Papers in the action are expected to
be filed in short time. Judge Monta-
que, of Virginia, has been retained by
Mrs. Drexler.
The grounds for the action are the
same, it is understood, as were those
brought in the suit of Mrs. John
,ski against the Pakkala estate.
Koski was shot by Drexler in the PAX
kala saloon and afterward died of his
wounds. Mrs. Koski recovered from
the Pakkala estate for his death on
the grounds that he was allowed to
frequent saloon after hours and
was kept about the place in an in
toxicated and mentally irresponsi-
BILE condition. The case went to the
state supreme court and was there
decided in favor Of Mrs. Koski. 5S
suit Of Mrs. prexler avainet
Mccoy & Could and Cantrell and Me-
Farland will declare that Drexler was
sold liquor until he reached state
of mental responsibility at both
places and that while in condition
of frenzied intoxication he committed
the crime for which he must spend the
rest of his life in the penitentiary
depriving his wife of his support.
Drexler was arrested in Virginia
before the crime and sent back to
Milwaukee by former Chief Of Police
Ellis Walsh on warrant charging a
statutory offense. The Drexler's
were married then but lived together
but short time when Drexler return
ed to this city, where, while intoxicat-
ed a few weeks later, he shot and
killed Axel Pakkala and so seriously
wounded John Koski that he later
died.
D1exler is said to be model pris-
cner at the state penitentiary. He is
a young man and is apparently doing
everything he can to make good the
resolution he expressed when he left
this city on his way to the penitenti-,
ary to make the best of the years he
must spend in the Minnesota prison.

A BOYS and
GIRLS CONTEST
The K. S. A. c. Plans Work For The
Boys and Girls

For seven years the Agricultural Col
lege has been campaigning among the
boys and girls for better corn and bet
ter bread and bigger crops of kaffir
and more interest in household and gar
den and field work. 1t has had the
splendid support of host Of fine peo-
pie, superintendent of schools, city
superintendent and teachers, bankers,
commercial clubs and farmers institute
officers. Probably forty thousand boys
and girls have been enrolled in these
contests and have become deeply inter-
ested in improved agriculture through
these contests and through the exhibits
at the farmers Institutes.
But with only about five or six thous-
and boys and girls each year Kansas
has hardly made a beginning in this
big work. Two years ago one county
sent in 1919 names and if all had done as
well, according to population, we would
have had $4,000 contestants instead of
5000.
The extension division of the college
is sending out suggestions for this
years work and inviting cooperation of
school people, ministers, institute off
icers, bankers, oranges, business men,
commercial clubs and everybody to help
make this the banner year for boys and
girls and also the banner year for corn,
kaffir and potatoes, gardens, and for
interest in agriculture and in cooking
and sewing with girls. 1t is not too ear
ly to begin now to announce contests
and to look for seed for the contests.
Why not get together in every COM
uunity and not only have contests for
the boys and girls but for the farmers
and farmers wives and the whole fam
lily. Let the whole state go to schoo
and just see what Kansas can do. Let's
start NOW. For phamplets and rulei
for the contests write Dean College
