 It was not many minutes later that Kennedy had Elaine in the little sit ting room off the laboratory, having taken her there in the ambulance. with the doctor and two attendants.

 Meanwhile Kennedy, beside the couch, with an air of desperate deter mination turned away and opened cabinet. From 1t he took a large coil and attached it to storage battery, dragging the peculiar apparatus near Elaine's couch.
 To an electric light socket Craig attached wires. The doctor watched him in silent wonder.

 "Why-yes," answered the doctor. but what of him?"

The Milwaukee Lumber COM
pany's sawmill, which has been
closed down for the past six
weeks, started up again Monday
and the company expects to keep
il running for the remainder of
the year. During the short
tune that the mill has been clos
ed down it has been thoroughly
overhauled and repaired and it is
now in first class condition.
Among other things that have
been done a large condenser has
been put in sot hat the dynamo
that furnishes the power for
running the plant as we'll as The
lights and power for the city
cannot possibly be put out of
commission by any accident. II
an accident should occur to one
condenser the other could be con-
nected at once without closing
down the plant.
The prospects for a busy and
profitable season could not be
brighter than at present. The
company has been shipping logs
into the mill for some time and
have a goou supply ON hand to
start with. In addition to thes
there is a large quantity cut i'm
the woods ready to be shipped.
I'm an interview with a repre-
sentative of the Record Mr.. Fred
Herrick, president of the COM
pany. stated that William Nc
Garter had over three million feet
cut, skidded, and ready Go be
shipped at once. Cox Bros.
have had a crew of from seventy
five to a hundred men at work all
winter and can keep the mill rum
ming for some time even if no
other logs were available. Tn
addition to thes two firms that
are logging for it The company
has a large camp at work ON AL
der creek which has been there
all winter and has several million
feet on skids ready 90 be shipped

also offered as were the Plat

different locations were discuss

The commissioners deemed it
necessary to go to Occur d'Aleae

George Sentenced
To Be Hanged

Wallace, Idaho, Feb. l2.-"We
the jury, find the defendant
guilty of murder in the first de-
gree and we impose the penalty
of death"
This verdict Yves returned to-
night in the case of the state VS..
Charles Georger, charged with
the murder of Trachie ChristofT
in a deserted logging camp on
Big Greek the night of November
10. Both state and defense
finished the introduction of evil
dence yesterday, and today's ses-
sion opened with argument to the
jury by Assistant Prosecuting At
torney Carlton Fox. Walter
Hanson, for the defense, argued
more than an hour. Instructions
of Judge Woods to the jury took
p minutes. The jury retired at
1884 and returned the verdict at
1850.
Christoff, who was chum of
George, was killed six miles from
Herrick, where thu men were paid
off. The state contended George
struck Christoff IN the back of
the head with battery, render
ing him unconscious, and that
he then dragged Christoff's body
to post in the building, where
a rope was tied around his neck
and he was strangled to death.
George was apparently unmov-
Ell by the verdict and was led
from the court smiling.
