AND SWITZERLAND DESCRIBED
BY DOCTOR HOME FROM EUROPE

his mind England must at last come to
CONSUMPTION.
The doctor sailed for home on the
Rotterdam and was held at Yarmouth
for two days awaiting the arrival Of the
steamer. The agent promised the COM
ing of the boat several times before she
finally appeared 1t was considered
probable that she had been held up for
the transportation Of troops across the
channel, as no water craft are allowed
out while such transportation is in
progress London, says the doctor, is
the gayest Of the gay, the theaters run
ming in full blast. The showing Of pass
ports is required often.
Paris Not London
Some time was passed at Paris, and
while DR.. Clason was not allowed to go
to the front he saw some of the
trenches that were hastily thrown up
in the suburbs of Paris when the Ger
mans were making their westward
sweep. Paris itself is not the same
as before and quite different from Lon
don, inasmuch as all gayety is done
away with. All public places are re
quired to close their doors at 1880 each
night. The hospitals of France are filed
TO Overlooking, ever the hotels being
used as such.
In Switzerland
From France DR. Clason went to
Switzerland. In this country 500 900
men are mobilized. The Swiss troops
he describes as wonderful lot Of men
and neither the Allies nor the Central
powers appear to be willing to draw
their into the conflict. The utmost cor.
fidence as to the ultimate result appears
to be felt everywhere both in England
and France. Even q stricter rule in
regard to the showing of passports is
applied i'll France than in England.
DR.. Clason's brother Charles Clason
q student at oxford, England. was with
HIM during the greater portion of his
stay. The latter has had somewhat
wider experience having served in the
distribution of Red Cross supplies Il.
Belgium and travelled in Germany. In
one city in Germany he was arrested
and thoroughly searched, not having his
passport with him. Luckily the latter
came later i'll the day and he was re-
leased

FOUND GUILTY OF
MANSLAUGHTER.

The case of Frank Martell was tried
in circuit court the past week. Mar
tell was charged with shooting and
killing his son-in-law, Charles
Schroeder, on the Sd day of April, on
his farm near Manville. Schroeder
and a daughter of Martel were mar
ried in 1911. They did not get along
together and on account of i'll treat
ment Mrs. Schroeder left her husband
and had commenced proceedings for
divorce, and had returned to her faith
er's home. On the third of April,
Schroeder went to the Martell farm,
evidently for the purpose of seeing
his wife. He was met by Martell and
one word brought on another until
Martell told him to get off the prem
Uses. This Schroeder refused to do
and he pulled off his coat as if to at
tack Martell The latter went into
the house and got his gun to defend
himself and told Schroeder if he came
nearer than a certain distance he
would shoot. Schroeder ignored the
threat and kept edging up until Mar
tell fearing for his own life, shot and
killed Schroeder almost instantly.
Testimony was given tending to show
that Martell had always bourne
good reputation and was an exemplary
citizen. There was also testimony
for and against Schroeder as to his
general reputation.
The case was given to the jury on
Wednesday evening and verdict was
rendered finding Martell guilty OF
manslaughter in the third degree, the
penalty for which is from two to four
years in states prison. At opening Of
court this morning Judge Reid SEN
fenced the defendant to a term of
three years in states prison at Wau-
pun, his sentence beginning at noon
today and his trip there takes place
this evening or tomorrow morning.
