WOMAN SHOT FOR
TRYING To WRECK
RAILWAY TUNNEL
Beautiful Swiss Wife of Asa
ton Executed After Court
Martial for Matching Dyna-
mite Plot Against Germans.

BY s DEWITT.

GENEVA, Aug. 15.-Madame
Favre Schwarz of Basic. a young
and beautiful Swiss lady married
TO one of the richest men in
AlSace-Lorraine, was shot Friday
after a court martial. She was
accused of attempting to blow up
an important tunnel on the rail
way line near LeopoldSchall.
Madame Schwarz made no Sc
cret of her intense French SYM
pathieS. Having been found
guilty and sentenced to death, she
shouted "viye la France" and she
died with this cry upon her lips.
She was we'll known in the
best cosmopolitan society, not
only of Basic, but of Berlin.
Switzerland although not actually
engaged, is suffering the terrors of
war. Italy has modified more than
100000 troops on the Swiss and Aus
trian frontiers. In the high mountain
passes above Zermatt the Swiss and
Italian patrols meet and fraternize,
discussing the war.
Switzerland, several hundred have au-
tomobiles The Swiss refuse to allow
any of these cars 10 go out and the
soldiers will not allow any Americans
along the German frontier.
Americans Threatened.
Near Basic a German officer seized
a party of American motorists for
their passports. When the Ameri-
cans replied that they never had any
passports the officer, IL is alleged, de-
clared:
IF you cross the frontier without
passports, I shall order you shot. We
don't want any d--n English or
Americans in our country.
Many Americans made the journey
from Vienna TO Buchs on the Swiss
frontier by the last train that came
through. The trip. which ordinarily
Is made in one day. required four
DAYS. Into compartments in the
coaches intended TO hold eight per
sons were damned from 20 TO 80 suf-
fering refugees. The corridors of the
train and even the lavatOries were
packed. Windows we're smashed to
avoid suffocatiOn. Some Americans
threw the baggage out OF the win
dows and lay weeping while children
in the baggage racks cried themselves
TO sleep.
The expresses arriving from Ber-
lin also were from one to two days
late. The travellers were dropped near
the German station of ST. Louis
whence they had TO walk so miles TO
Basic. All heavy baggage was abau-
doned. Some Americans bought light
hand carts at $50 each. They placed
women and children in these hand
carts and dragged them along the
weary road.

ALFALFA CULTURE IN
WEST CENTRAL MINNESOTA
p. e. Miller Gives Valuable and Timely
information About Prosperity
Building Forage Plant
Securing a Stand.

The spring of 1914 will see from
$4,000 to 10000 acres of alfalfa planted
in West Central Minnesota. This will
increase the 1913 acreage several
thousand times and if the results are
satisfactory will mean a great increase
in the prosperity of the district.
Success with alfalfa depends large
~ upon getting a good catch and to
make sure of this it is necessary for
the grower to know and do several
things, the most important of which
are outlined in the following para
graphs:
Soil.
The soil for an alfalfa field should
be rich and well drained. A heavy
application of barnyard manure should
be made. This is very important as
the young alfalfa plants are very
tender and need an abundance Of
readily available plant food
Drainage is also essential. Because
