One OF the saddest cases in many
years came to light in this city with
the arrest OF Mrs. Kate kukendorff
wife of A. ]. kukendorff, one of the
best known rural residents of this
county for several years. and for the
past two years a resident of this city.
Mrs. Kuker6orff disappeared from her
home in a fashionable part of this city
early in the week. A quiet search for
her was conducted by kukendorff and
his friends. The local authorities
heard reports of a woman wandering
about with some five or six hoboes. Re-
ports were also made that persons had
seen the unfortunate person in COM
promising positions with the buns.
The police started hunt for them and
interrupted party" III the jungles at
the edge of the city. They had a big
bonfire, trying to keep warm. The
woman was brought in but the hoboes
were not. Upon examination it de"
veloped that the woman had become
insane. She was taken to hospital
where medical aid was administered,
following which she was committed to
local sanatcrium. Mrs. kukendorff
is but % years old and as pretty as a
picture. Her husband is grief-stricfien
over the terrible affair, but Is more so
because he is powerless to help his
wife. When the woman was declared
to be demented a search was instituted
for the hoboes who had contributed to
her position. but they had already left
the city.

ONLY WOMAN DRAWING
J PENSION FROM U. s.
j VISITING IN NEVADA

Special to Times Republican.
Nevada. Oct 14.-Bearing her So
years of age as well as she does the
distinction of being the only woman in
the United States drawing pension
as a soldier, Mrs. Julia Ellis, who now
lives up In Nelod county. Minnesota. is
visiting with relatives OF Iowa and
talks interestingly of some Of her girl
hood experiences especially of how
she comes to be drawing a pension as
a soldier and not as soldiers widow.
During the Sioux uprising In 1852,
when most Of the men were in the
south fighting in the civil war. she
lived in frontier settlement which
was attacked by hostile band of In
dams. The redskins were temporarily
repulsed. The few men there proposed
that they load up their effects and
evacuate their hold To this proposal
the women objected and proposed that
a company be organized for protection
against the savages. Finally the men
agreed to this providing the women
would join with them in the fighting
and to this the wives and mothers
readily agreed. Three of the women
enlisted among them Mrs. Ellis. A
bIockhouse was erected and they sue
ceeded in fighting the Indians off dur
ing several attacks. The state PEN
stoned the men and the case of Mrs
Ellis was later brought before the legis-
lature and she was placed on pension
and has since drawn IS per month.
The other two women were pensioners
but are now dead.
Mrs. Ellis, a native OF the shores OF
the Bay of Fundy, is hale and hearty
and has beer able to make her way
alone for a visit from her home at
Hutchinson, Mimi. down to Palo. Kan.
thence to Webster City. after which
she will go into the Dakotas for a visit
before returning home.

Des Moines, Oct. 1.-THE liquor
forces of Iowa are raising funds in the
wet" cities to fight the equal suffrage
amendment and to oppose enforce
ment of prohibition, according to re-
ports sent to A. u Coats. secretary OF
the Iowa Prohibitory Amendment Asso-
citation. He placed the data before
Attorney General George Cosson yes
terday. At Fort Dodge last week the
liquor dealers held q convention ana
announced that they are ready to QUIT
the LIQUOR business and that they will
nc, make a fight next January when
the Clarkson law goes into effect.
The temperance forces were sus-
picious of the announcement of the
liuuor men, Coats said. He declares
that as soon as the liquor men re-
turned to their homes the correspond
ents of the prohibitory amendment as
ISOLATION began to report that the
VETS" had started to raise funds for
the fight on prohibition.
One letter which Mr.. Coats exhibited
said that in one wet" city $4,000 had
been subscribed toward the liquor fight
and $1,000 to oppose the equal suffrage
amendment. This is only part of the
sum which the liquor men expect to
raise in that city, the correspondent
said.
Attorney Engaged.
Another agent reported that the ex-
ecutive committee of the liquor as
sociation at a conference held at Sioux
City after the adjournment of the
Fort Dodge convention. engaged an at
torney to prepare for the fight to test
the constitutionality of the mulct law
repeal. He said that $1,000 had been
paid to the attorney d retainer.
The fight on the repeal, it is re-
ported. will be on the ground that
cities where there are valid saloon petit
tons may retain the grog shops until
the consent period expires. Another
flaw the attorneys are reported to be
preparing to claim is that the date,
Jan. 1, 1916, inserted in the law makes
it invalid.
According to the plan reported to Mr..
Coates, the liquor men will ask for an
injunction in every wet" county to
suspend the repeal law until the case
can be carried to the supreme court.
