Think Murdered Girl
Tried to Avoid Suit0r

Sioux City, Ia, july 1.-The mys-
terious murder of Miss Thecla Ger
ken OF Woonsocket, S. D., who was
shot and killed by an unknown per-
son here late Wednesday night, was
no nearer a solution today. The
trend of the police investigation leads
the officers to believe there was a
man in the case"
1t is known positively, they say,
that the girl left her home at Woon-
socket against the wishes Of her par
ents and stopped in Sioux City on her
way to Dubuque. where she had ac-
cepted position. Police believe that
this new evidence may mean that she
left her home to avoid a persistent
suitor, of which neither her family nor
her friends knew.

Receipts, number of deeds filed and

considerations for the six months is
smaller than the corresponding pc

TO Get a Fourth-of-July Hat
Attempted Robbery After
.a. Effort to Burn House

Mystery surrounds the attempted
burglary of the home of Mrs. M.
Hensman, 1881 South Forty-sixth
Avenue, Friday night. Mrs. Hens
man had been visiting neighbors and
returning about II o'clock, found the
silverware and a quantity of clothes
bundled up and on the kitchen table.
Investigation showed a bedroom win
dow broken open. 1t is thought her
return frightened away the burglar
without his loot.
Saturday afternoon after a visit
downtown upon entering the house
Mrs. Hensman smelled smoke. Burned
papers were found in the joists where
someone had attempted to burn the
house. The daylight prowler disturbed
nothing in the house. 1t is believed
by Mrs. Hensman that the same per-
son made both visits.

LAWN FETE JUST
ESCAPES THE RAIN
Jupiter Pluvius Is Kind and
Waits Until Closing Hour
Before Loosing His
Torrents.

Kindly Jupited Pluvius waited until
8 o'clock, the hour for closing the
lawn fate at Binnie Brae Saturday
night, before he opened the windows
of heaven to let forth his torrents.
From 3 o'c.Jvk on hundreds of pedes-
trians and people in automobiles
thronged out from Omaha to attend
the lawn party and circus combined
which was given by the members Of
the Equal Franchise society for the
benefit of the Omaha War Relief So
cety, a branch of the National Sur
gical Dressings committee, with head
quarters IN New York.
Everyone who attended the gala af-
fair seemed satisfied, from the children
who rode the Shetland ponies with a
look of beatifc delight upon their
faces, to the drawling voiced esthetes
who paid quarter to view the art
gallery. Only those who drove past
outside the gates of the country place
wore disappointed air.
Flags in Evidence.
Costumes and flags of all friendly
nations, the British, French, Italian,
japanese, were everywhere in evil
dence.
Pretty girls in gay costumes, with
bright silk kerchiefs tied around their
dark or fair hair, lent an attractive
color note to the company. They fit
ted here and there among the shrub
berry from one canvas-topped booth to
another. Way down in one corner
delicious pink lemonade was sold to
all comers. You could guess this, you
could buy that, you could throw bean
bags into series of holes, you could
do little putting at golf, you might
visit demure gypsy fortune teller at
little striped tent behind pine tree,
or if you grew tired of it all, you
might sit down on the grass with a
sandwich in your hand to listen to
the band play, all for the benefit OF
war relief. When the band had fin
ished, from away over the vast lawn
would come the sound of the shrill
bagpipes, were several real kiltied
pipers blew.
As a wind-up for the successful aft
ernoon, at 7:30 Harry Tukey mounted
the auctioneer's block and sold at
ridiculous prices everything that was
left after the strenuous sale of the
afternoon. Prospects were that the
total receipts would mount up to
thousan dollars.
