sessed3a clear. strong mind and very
unusual executive ability but the
great reason she was chosen, above
all: others within the knowledge OF
the board making the recommends
tion for the position OF superintendent
in that home, was that she would love
and understand the poor lives to be
protected there, and seeking 10 direct
wisely, she would seek to- protect them
from themselves, and from the future

"And In all this she made her ear

GRIM TRAGEDIES
HAUNT HIS
ROUTE
Series of Crimes and Fatal
Casualties Mark Way of
Rural Letter Carrier.


CHARLOTTE, Mich, Mar. 4.-Ralph
Krrmm, rural mail carrier on the
route where the Thornburg murder
occurred recently, recites the grew
some and unusual tale that this makes
the fourth murder that has occurred
on his drive during a space OF two
years time, and in addition, two sui
cides have taken place, one girl has
been burned to death and a body has
been taken from its grave in a ceme-
terry and hidden in brush pile.
In March, 1914, Ralph Cannady
killed Edna Stewart Kirk by shoot
ing and then turned the gun on him
self, bring his own end.
On June 2, 1915, occurred the now
famous Sunday school" murder and
suicide, when Elwood Smelling, son OF
a prominent Calvin township farmer,
approached his sweetheart, with whom
he had quarreled. as she came out Of
church and pulling a revolver shot
her, death coming Instantly. He then
turned and looked about for two other
men whom he blamed for their trouble
and failing to see them he held the
horror stricken onlookers al bay until
he had backed to the body of his dead
sweetheart, where he suddenly shot
himself, falling dead over the body
Of the young lady.
Another Tragedy In October.
Then on the night Of October 8. 1915.
William Cram entered the farmhouse
of Squire Colyar, his father-in-law
and stabbed the aged man to death
as the latter was attempting to pros
tect his daughter from her enrAged
husband. After numbering Colyar,
Cram followed his wife. who had gone
for help, and stopping her forced her
back to tho farm. where they spent
the night in q hayloft ard where the
wife induced him to give himself up,
which he did at daybreak. Though he
made desperate battle in circuit
court for his freedom, he was SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment at hard
labor.
But the last case, the Thornburg
murder, in which an aged woman was
killed by her 10 year old nephew, at
her lonely home. has been the most
hetnous aud terrible crime OF them all.
Mr.. Krumm was we'll acquainted
with all the parties directly connect
ed with the several crimes, the ac-
quaintance- being formed while at
work in the capacity Of rural mail
carrier.
More Grim Reminders.
In addition to the murders and sui
cides. Krumm was carrying mail to
tho Joseph Strong home when Miss
Florence Strong. the daughter. was
burned to death.
He also carried mail past tie coun-
ty almshouse, where the body of nm
inmate, that had been inferred in the
private cemetery, was found one morn
ing in a clump of bushes in woods
near the cemetery, after 1t had been
ruthlessly torn from its resting place.
Three Of the murders and two OF
the suicides occurred in ono township,
All Of these revolving and terrible In
cidents have taken place within a
period OF two years time, but in spite
of this Krumm still wears his con-
genial every day smile and has not
asked to BIO changed to another route
