through the fleshy part of the upper
left arm. Powder marks on the face
and head were mute evidence that the
pistol had been discharged within a
foot of the girls head.
After killing the girl Schwenton
leaned back on the couch, placed the
revolver to the right side of his head
and sent bullet into his brain just
above and back of the ear. He also
died instantly. The position of his
body on the couch and the location of
the wound in his head precluded any
possibility of evolving any theory ex-
cept that of murder and suicide. The
revolver which Schwenton had used
laid on the floor directly under the
Imply hanging right hand. Three of
the five cartridges in the cylinder had
been exploded and all three could cas-
lily be accounted for by the three
wounds. The cartridges were identi-
cal with those found later in the box
in Schwenton's room. The gun was
the same which Schwenton had pur-

store. With this overwhelmingly real
and circumstantial evidence at hand
Coroner Goehrs decided that jury
inquest was unnecessary and pro-
claimed the tragedy one of murder
and suicide.
Mrs. Bentz, who witnessed the
shooting, Immediately became so hys-
terical, that much of what happened
is vague in her mind. She can recall
seeing Schwenton coming across the
street toward the home and calling
to Della in the kitchen if she cared to
see him. Della answered that she did
not. Mrs. BentZ went to the door and
locked the portal but unlocked it again
when Della shouted to let Schwenton
in.
When Schwenton entered the house

WILL MAKE EXTENSIVE TRIP.

Saturday morning OF this week Glen
and Russell Cooper will leave for the
Twin Cities, where they will take the
Northwestern for Denver, Colorado
Springs and Delta, Col. They will
spend a couple days at the latter place
visiting cousins, Mr.. and Mrs. R. L..
Smith, formerly residents of this Sec
ton. Their route will then take them
to Salt Lake City and Boise, Idaho,
visiting a cousin of Mrs. Cooper's at
the latter place. From Boise they go
to Portland and Sutherland, Ore, and
then to Frisco, Los Angeles and San
Diego. Russell will spend some time
with Marion Lyman at Los Angeles
and will return to Sank Centre about
Christmas time. Glen will avoid the
rigor of a Minnesota winter by re-
naming in Arizona until spring.

Mrs. Bentz says he went directly to
the kitchen and said simply, GLOW do
you do" as he seated himself on the
couch near Della. The girl did not an
swer and in a twinkling Schwenton
pulled his revolver and began shoot
ing. The first two shots were fired so
quickly that Mrs. eBntz could not dis
tinguish between them and the shot
which Schwenton sent into his head
followed almost instantly after the
shots which killed the girl. Mrs. Bentz
was so broken up by the affair that it
was necessary to place her under the
care of physician.
Funeral services for Miss Bentz
were held Friday afternoon at 2:30
o'clock at the First Methodist church,
Rev. Duel officiating. Intement was
in Odd Fellows cemetery. The young
woman had lived practically all her
life in, Sank Centre and Unity, her
mother being a member of the well
known Hummer family of the latter
place. Besides her parents she is sur
vived by a brother. John. Her father,
Joseph Bentz, is employed as g. sec

railroad company here.

tire about year. At odd times he
had been in the employ of the city
street and park department, but his
last steady employment was in the
Allen saloon. He roomed above the
place. Search of his belongings by
the authorities revealed only S1.60 in
money. Theodore Schwenton, the bro
Their, did not claim the body from the
Halverson morgue and accordingly
the remains, under the provisions of
the state law, were sent to the med
ical department of the University Of
Minnesota. They were shipped Fri
day afternoon.

llLlTH NOT A BIBLE NAME
Figures in jewish Legends as a De-
stroyer of lnfants-Also as
Adams First wife.

Lilith is not a Bible name. but q
Hebrew word, used TO designate an
imaginary being referred to in the BIZ
Bile. but not by name. An authority
gives Lilith as the name Of the hrst
wife Of Adam, according 10 rabbinical
tradition" and says: She was made
OF the earth as was Adam himself, and
would not submit TO be ruled over by
her husband Seeing no possibility OF
an agreement between herself and
him, she fed away TO the sea, where
she became the mother OF race OF
demons and as punishment for re-
fusing to return to Adam. one hundred
of her children were to die every day.
Lilith became noted in Jewish legend
as a destroyer of infants and for this
reason they adopted the custom OF
writing the names OF three protecting
angels on slips OF paper or parchment,
and binding them upon the infant to
prevent the evil influence Of Lilith.
This refers to an ancient custom and
we do not know that any trace OF II
survives. Another authority says that
the Hebrew name Lilith attaches TO
the passage in Isaiah 34:14, which
says, The night monster shall settle
there and shall find her a place OF
rest" Popular superstition named
