Adolph Sandberg Old Silver.
lake Resident Was Found
Dead in a Woodshed.
CASE LOOKS LIKE A SUICIDE

! Dead with bullet in his brain, the
| body Of Adolph Sandberg, aged forty
five years and long a resident Of the
! village of Silverlakr, was found in a
wood shed at the rear Of the Sandberg
| home just before six O'Clock Monday
| afternoon. Near the body was a
! thirty-two calibre revolver which had
| belonged to Sandberg and while suicide
| is believed to have been the cause of
| the death of the man the case is being
investigated by Sheriff Stahl and the
Silverlake deputies An inquest is to
| be held over the body at Silverlake
| this afternoon.
Sandberg lived with his wife and
one grown son and for some time he
had been respondent. On Monday af-
ternoon he had been left alone at the
home, his wife having gone to a house
in the village to aid one of her friends
/ for the afternoon and the son was at
| work on a farm near the village. The
| son returned to the house just after five
Q o'clock and finding the house cold and
no fire in the kitchen he went to the
wood shed to get some kindling. He
| found the door leading to the building
| locked from the inside and he went
round to window. He pushed the
window open and climbed into the
building and found the body Of his
| father lying in pool of blood. He
summoned neighbors and the door of
| the shed was broken open. Later a
| justice Of the peace was called and a
| jury selected to hold an inquest.
Sandberg had lived at Silverlake for
many years and he had worked about
| the village for many people. In the
past few weeks he had appeared to be
respondent and it is said that he had
been drinking heavily. On Monday
when the members Of the family left
! the house he gave them no reason to
| believe that he was disguised with
| life. In fact at the time he was read
| ing a paper and he made no comment
on their leaving. Sandberg left no
| note to his wife or son which would
give the reason for his taking his own
| life, if he died the death Of suicide,
| but men at Silverlake insist that there
could have been no cause for any one
| to have attacked and killed him. They
point to the fact that the shed had
been locked as a pretty sure indication
that Sandberg, respondent over his con-
dition had gone to the shed and after
carefully locking the door, had blown
out his brains.
No announcement has been made as
to the time when the funeral will be
| held.
eve are making an investigation Of
the case said Sheriff Stahl this morn
ing, "but all indications point to the
fact that Sandberg shot himself"

posed sale OF the Chicago and Milwau-

some people who hold property along
the line had been hopeful that the
value of this property would be greatly
Ell HANGED by the fact that the road
would need it for the building of
switches and side tracks.
In the letter of contradiction of the
rumor sent out by the big company no
mention is made of the time honored
contract between the Chicago and
North Western lines and the st. Paul
line and the denial of any negotiations
for the purchase of the electric line is
decidedly abrupt and to the point.
Receivers of the Chicago and Mil
waukee when appealed to declared that
they had no idea of any company now
operating a steam road making plans
for the purchase of the electric lines.
The receivers were undoubtedly hoping
against hope that such a story might
be true as a purchaser for the line with
money to pay off its debts and money
to improve it has been sought for many
years. When the sale of the line takes
place in che early summer it is very
probable that it viii be taken over by
some company organized from the ranks

required when doing the cleaning il
| the back part of house.
When shed roof poultry houses are
ventilated by means of cheese-clotl
covered openings in front, they are
easily provided with fresh air.
!. The general ground plan is to leave
the whole floor space free to be GOV
cred with straw several inches deep
for scratching purposes. Laying hens
must be kept busy to prevent them
from getting too fat. In order to man.
lufactEre eggs the hens must be well
fed. The difference between fat hens
and laying mems depends upon the kind
of food rather than the quantity, but
the element of exercise has good
deal to do with the keeping of laying
hens in proper condition.
In these shed roof poultry houses
the droppiEgs board usually is placed
under the low roof at the back The
roosts are supported a few inches
above the droppings board and the
nest boxes are suspended underneath
This work is all done in such a way
that the whole outfit may be taken out
easily and the whole inside of the
house may be thoroughly cleaned. The
easy cleaning proposition is worked
out in connection with all parts Of the
house. Cleanliness means great
deal in the poultry house.
The plan of this particular design
further provides for q closed-in room
for brooding coops. This room may
be divided by partition, or it may be
made into one room for the use Of
houses. Some poultrymen use this
center room for the nest boxes as
well as for broody hens The laying is
principally done in December, January
and February and brooding seldom
commences before March.
Shed roof poultry houses seem to
work out better than any other style
of roof when 1t comes to ventilation.
It is not easy to manage a poultry
house in such a way as to ventilate it
properly. The ventilation in all farm
buildings depends on a certain degree
of warmth. Large animals, such as
cattle and horses, have considerable
body warmth, which sets the air In
motion. Fowls, are so small that their
body heat is not sufficient to war;

A poultry house 36 feet long natur-

many poutrymen who are anxious to
have the sun shine clear back to the
far wall during the very early spring
weeks when eggs are high in price
and the hens need every possible en-
couragement to supply the demand.
Shed roof poultry houses present the
high sides Of the buildings to the sun.
Poultry houses are always faced in a
southerly direction, and they are al
ways closed in tight at the north and
west, because the prevailing cold
winds usually come from those two di-
rections. The sun shining against the
high side of the building during the
day usually keeps the house comfort
able during part of the night because
of the stored up heat In addition to
the warmth a house is much more
cheerful on account Of admitting con-
siderable bright sunshine.
Shed roof poultry houses are quite
common in the eastern states where
thousands of farmers keep poultry for
profit. Some of them keep poultry
only in small way, but they have
studied the needs of laying hens and
have provided means to keep them
comfortable and to induce them to lay
eggs in the winter time.
These shed roof poultry houses are
cheaply built and are easily made COM
Portable for the fowls in all kinds of
weather. Usually such houses are
made quite low at the back. Some are
as low as three feet, being designed
for the comfort of the fowls rather
than for the convenience of the atten-
dant, because considerable STOPPING is

The investigation Of the Tivoli
disaster should be most thorough.

Government.
The fact that the Maryland

burned, is sufficient reason for
suspecting incendiarism. and
nothing should be left undone to
ascertain the causes Of these fires.
We are informed that the Steam
boat Company is now investigat-

Sam 5 representatives are also
investigating on their own hook.
One of the survivors of the Tivoli
fire. a gentleman from distant
city, was in Snow Hill last week
