MURDER|SCHARGED
A. n. MCCORMICK HELD FOR
TRIAL FOLLOWING COURTS
DECISION
HIS MARRIAGE is HELD LEGAL
JUDGE Wickham Holds Messages To
Be Spurious; Also Holds That
Property Goes to Mr..
Mccormick

One of the most sensational cpl
sodes in case replete with sensa-
tions occurred just before six last
evening, when Judge Wickkam rem
dered his decision on the Mccormick
will case, brought before him on an
appeal from the county court.
Yesterdays session wes a contin-
uance of the trial at the February
term and before the decision was
rendered dispositions We're read from
two sisters Of the deceased, Mrs.
Jessie Kinshella, of LosAngeles, Cal,
and Mrs. Alice Heron, Of Interna-
tional Falls, Mimi, and testimony
was given by Edward w. Kimball, J..
A. Hewitt nd A H. Mccormick.
The decision OF the court was
lengthy and every face in the court
room was tense while it was being
rendered 1t was without doubt the
most dramatic denouement in the
history of the Rusk county court
house.
Judge Wickham held that the w IL
was properly executed, that, as ac-
cording to the laws of the state of
Washington there is no common law
marriage, Mr.. Mccormick and MIS-.
Conover were not man and wife and
that therefore his marriage to Ida
J. Mathewson was entirely legal He
found that the two messages, pur-
porting to have been written by Mrs.
Mccormick just prior to her death
and giving the inference that she

GET MOTOR CHEMICAL WAGON

The new auto-chemlcal wagon, sent
here on 30-days trial, arrived here
Saturday and is being tried out by
the firemen, principally in the hands
of Ben Stelzman. The outfit, which
lis mounted on a Ford chassis, in
cludes two steel chemical tanks, one
Of which can be filled or charged
while the other is being emptied, if
occasion demands.
Quickness in getting to a fire is
most important consideration and
with a motor chemical outfit many
fires and be put out before
they have attained much headway
that would possibly result in seri-
Gus conflagration in a very short
time. A few minutes saved in re-
spending to a fire alarm may mean
many thousands of dollars.

not genuine, giving detailed reasons
therefor and reviewing the evidence
at length in support of his position.
The judge then took up the mat
ter of the poisoning at length and
held that Mr.. Mccormick was respon
sible for his wife's death through adj
ministering the poison. BY reason of
this fact, the court held that the
will was@ null and void and ordered
that the matter be referred back to
the county court for administration
according to law The judge stated
that he could find no law that would
deprive Mr.. Mccormick of inheriting
the estate.
Last evening, Mr.. Mccormick was
arrested on warrant issued by
County Judge Maloney, On a COM
plant signed by j. A. Hewitt charg-

"The Japanese Girl" an operetta
in two acts, will be presented by
the highschool glee club at the gym

full of catchy numbers.
Following is a brief sketch of the
play:
"The first act opens by number
of Japanese girls visiting o Hanu
San, a young Japanese beauty who
is about to celebrate her eighteenth
birthday, regarded in Japan as ''the
coming of age" Some amusement is
caused by Chaya, her faithful SER
want, who appears to be over-bur-
dened by work. The story is told
In the dialogue and songs and con-
situations.
In the second act, two American
girls, who are touring in Japan with
their governess for education and
pleasure, are impelled by curiosity
to enter the garden, and while their
| governess is sketching they slip
away from her.
/ The Japanese girls returning Pc
| sent the intrusion of a foreigner and
awake the governess, who has fallen
asleep at her easel, and pretend not
to understand her explanations.
! 0 Hanu San comes to her rescue and
| in the end invites the American
| ladies to remain as her guests and
witness the interesting and quaint
ceremonies which are about to com
mence. They accept gratefully and
win the hearts of all.
