 WIDOW COLLAPSES
Mrs. Holt's Father Says Dead Man Had No Knowledge
 of Dual Personality.

Dallas, Tex, July 8.-When told by her father the Rev. O. F. SenSa baugh, yesterday that the police had been trying to connect the life of her dean husband with that of Erich Muneter' supposed wife murderer, and. that they had practically succeeded. Mrs Fra1lk A Holt came nearer to a total collapse than at any time in the period during which she has been subjected to the terrible strain caused by HOlt's re- vealed career. Today Mrs Holt was improved, and hopes were held out that she would recover
 MT. Sensabaugh stated that ne IeII it his duty to tell her all, so that when the time came for her to face the world again there would be no fresh shocks He was afraid also that she would learn of the almost certain confiTn1a- ton of the Muenter theory too sud- denly.
 Overcome in his loyalty to his dead son-in-law by the overwhelming evi- dence furnished from almost every city interested that Holt and Muenter were one person, Dr. Sensabaugh yes terday discussed this phase of the case.
 If Holt was Muenter," said pr. Sen- sa baugh, t'I believe that he was like wise a dua1{ personality. When he was Frank Holt he did not know that he was Muenter, and his so-ca1led hiding of his past was nothing more than ig- norance of it.
 while with us Holt was a man of broad understanding and unerring truth fulness.
 .sOf one thing am sure-there was no element of moral turpitude in Holt s actions, and his breakdown at the last was purely insanity
 Mrs Holt, 1t is expected, will leave in a few days for Ithaca, N. T., with her children to visit. Ho1t's grave.

The Cou nty Fair.
N. H. CASTEEL

The Fair is really in the hearts of
the people of the County. 1t does, or
should. represent every phase of ac-
tivity. 1t has the opportunity Of lead
ing in all that makes for better living
and higher standards Of production in
the county, and fills place in the life
of the country which nothing else can
fill. We ask every man and woman in
the county to work to see that the
County Fair is given a vigorous life,
and that it is representative of every
interest Of the county. To that end
let every man and woman send an ex-
hibit of her or his best, and come him
self and bring his family, for the Fair
needs all the money it can gather to
paw its debts and finance new and bet
ter attractions.
The exhibits of the different depart
ments are well worth saving, and If
those Of the county who have fine cat
tie would, with a strong feeling of
community advancement, send their
fine cattle to our County Fair, it would
raise the level or standard of the
county.
Let US cultivate county spirit, forget
ting self, Join together to bring about a
higher standard along all lines which
find expression in the county Fair.
