DIED OF HEART FAILURE
Mrs. John Trimble, an Old Resi-
dent of this City, Found
Dead in Her Rooms.

Saturday morning G. p. Wyatt
went to the rooms OF Mrs. John
Trimblc, over the Gordinier bar
Der shop on the south side OF the
square, on matter OF business,
and on opening the door found
Mrs. Trimblc dead on the floor.
The authorities were notified
and Coroner Allen of Rich Hill
came to Butler and viewed the re-
mains and decided that the de-
ceased came to her death from
heart failure and that an inquest
was unnecessary. He gave it as
his opinion that she had been
dead about thirty-six hours. She
was dressed in her night clothes,
which would indicate that she had
died some time Thursday night.
Mrs. Trimblc was rather eccrn-
tric and very little is known about
her, as she was slow to take her
friends into her confidence. She
and her husband, the late John
Trimblc, came to Bates county IN
1872. Mr.. Trimble died about II
years ago. She was about 10
years old, and with the exception
of Il half brother named Hem
street, who lives in California, she
is the last member of her family.
Funeral services were held at
the Culver Undertaking rooms
Monday afternoon and interment
made in Oak Hill cemetery.

WOULD GUST THE KAISER
Bavarian Author Demands the
Hohenzollerns Step Aside.

Rome. Jan. 2O.--"The Only
Way Out" is the title Of a Bavar-
ian pamphlet which has reached
Rome by way of Zurich. 1t was
published in Munich under the
auspices of the Association of
Male Citizens of Southern Ger
many" The thesis developed by
the pseudonymous author is that
Germany's only practical course
to avert final ruin lies in the de-
thronement o fthe house OF IlO-
henzollcrn.
Reviewing the military situa-
tion, the author likens the series
of German victories to those Of
King Pyrrhus. They are. he says,
purely ephemeral.
The pamphlet regards Ger
many's present situation rs iden-
teal with that of the French EN-
pire a century ago. When the
crucial moment comes, will Will
lam II, he asks, stand prepared to
sacrifice himself for the German
people as Napoleon did9
The writer forsees that England
France and Russia never will con-
sent to negotiate peace with the
present kaiser or crown prince.

HID MONEY NEAR TULSA
Nephew of Younger Brothers
Hunting for $4,000 in Box
Near Oklahoma town.

Tulsa, Ok, Jan. 13.-Scout
Younger, of Tulsa, nephew of Cole
and Bob" Younger, early day ban
dts who were with Jesse and
Frank James in some of their
raids in this country forty years
ago, is trying to locate box said
to contain $4,000 in money and
treasure which it is claimed was
buried by the James band in the
vicinity of Tulsa many years ago.
Scout Younger from the descrip-
ton furnished him by Cole Young
or while on Il visit to Tulsa short
ly before his death, believes the
treasure is buried in the Lost City
canyon, six miles northwest OF
Tulsa, on the bank Of the Arkan-
sas river. Cole Younger was un-
abl" to identify the exact location
owing to the cutting of a new road
in that direction which does not
follow the cattle trail Of border
days.
One of the last statements of
Cole Younger as he lay on his
dcathbcd some two years ago was
an injunction to Scout Younger
to continue the search for the
buried treasure until it is found.
1t is said that Frank James,
who died a few years ago, was
anxious in his declining days to
search for the fortune which lay
buried near Tulsa. but ill health
forbade him undertaking it.

Soldiers Home Again.

Colonel w. H. Edelblute, COM
mander of the Second Idaho
infantry, and Darwin Sage, corpor-
al OF the regimental band, arrived

on the Mexican border.
They reported +. J. Nicola,
color sergeant, detained in the
hospital at Boise barracks for
few days longer recovering from
severe attack of erYsipelas.

to the rank of corporal in Company
c, returned to Ceur d'Alene with
that organization.

drum member OF the regiment, has

fering from a minor injury of the
knee
Colonel Edelblute regards the
Mexican situation as still fraught
with danger, and the Idaho troops
who are still subject to call are
likely to again be modified for
service. He states the regiment
lost six men during its tour of duty
which is said to be considerably
below the average losses among
organizations of the same number
of men in the service like period
of time.
