OUTLINES OF THE FACE
Seen ON DEATH SKULL
Photograph Taken of Head of Will
liam Scramin, Supposed to Have
Been Murdered.

When photograph was taken of
the skull of William Scramlin, who
is popularity supposed to have
been struck on the head and murder
ed in the alley between Front street
and the railroad tracks some months
ago, it plainly revealed the crack in
the skull and the blood clot on the
BRAIN
The photograph was taken by
John Anderson, who recently enlist
ed and is now in training at an avia-
ton camp, and caused quite bit of
comment from the fact that num-
Der of people claimed to see the pic
ture of a face in the skull, which they
thought by some uncanny power
might have been picture of the
murderer, registered on the brain.
This would certainly have been a
supernatural achievement, even if the
murdered man had chance to see
his assailant close inspection OF
the photograph shows what might be
mistaken for the outlines of mans
face, very pug nosed, with a beard,
and a shock of white hair, but this is
probably chance mingling of light
and shade in the picture

Marshal Loft al Winnebago
Seized Much Liquor
CARS EN- ROUTE SOUTH
Considerable Spirits Confiscated
On Orders of State Safety
Commission
from Fridays Daily.

rTOTU TTtOdJ Cauye
Winnebago, April 12.-The Enter
prise published this story: Some
where in Iowa" there were lot of
very thirsty and sadly disappointed
men last week; men who anxiOusly
scanned the horizon and looked for a
little cloud of dust along the high
way that would denote the approach
of the automobiles loaded with 10y
juice" from the oasis of Minnesota.
But unless their various and assort-
ed thirsts were relieved through
some other agency, they are today
dry, dry indeed for Marshal Loft of
Winnebago made great halls Thurs
day night and Friday morning.
Saw Cars Go Up.
Thursday, the mar2hal saw the cars
go through on their way to Mankato,
and when they came back he was
ready to challenge them, for the State
Safety commission made a ruling
some months ago that booze could
not be taken into dry territory, and
Faribault county is drier than the
thirstiest spot in the far-farmed Sa-
hara desert.
Were Heavily Laden.
Out of the car that he stopped Thurs
day night, the Marshal took A quarts of
Bourbon whiskey and 221 quarts of beer.
Friday mornings haul yielded total Of
thirty-five quarts of Blue Ribbon whisky,
twenty-four quarts of Old Kentucky
whiskev and three quarts of beer. All
those booze is worth many dollars on the
present market. 1t was stored in the
Jail and we understand that some of the
home talent was for the first time, very
anxious to be arrested.
Numbers Were Taken.
The auto numbers of the cars were
taken, and the men were turned loose.
They demllrred over being relieved of
their liquor cargoes, but got out quickly
at that The booze win be turned over
to the proper authorities and will be
destroyed. How, deponent sayeth not.
Marshal Loft nabbed another Iowa
car Wednesday evening that was loaded
to the gunwales with whiskey and beer
If this keeps on, the authorities will
have to place a guard around the jail.

The Junior Red Cross of Vernon Cen
ter comprise a territory containing nine
schools with a membership of over 200.
There is nearly $65 in the central treas
urey. 1t is certainly wonderful the
amount of vim and enthusS, sm the
youngsters put into the work. the girls
make holders which they sell and both
boys and girls are busy out of school
hours selling onions, potatoes, parsnips,
onion sets, etc. These have been donated
by Messrs MeiXell, Johnson, Pervis and
Hays. To see them hustling for the good
cause and how freely they deny them
selves the sweets so dear to childish
hearts that they may buy Thrift stamps
ought to make the lackerd feel like 80
cents. In the three lower rooms in the
Vernon Center school, twenty-one are
regular purchasers of Thrift stamps and
twenty-five purchased War Saving GER
tificates. The total amount for u. S.
certificates is $3.50. Miss Bowen's room
is the banner room. They have eight
Thrift stamps purchased and thirteen
who have purchased w. S. S. to the

TRAGEDY AT BEER PARTY
ONE MAN WAS SHOT DEAD
Fred Long Shot; Bullet From. Re-
voIver That Was Believed to Be
UnIoaded

Austin, April 12.-Fred Long, single
about thirty-five years of age was
shot and almost instantly killed at
about ten O'Clock Tuesday night by
Frank Doyle at the latter's home in
Taopi. 1t is said that beer party
was in progress at the Doyle home.
During the conversation the talk
drifted to discussion of fire arms.
Doyle produced shotgun and Bron-
son said he had valuable thirty
eight calibre revolver at his home
The two men talked swapping of
weapons and both went to the Bron-
son home.
Bronson brought out the revolver
which he kept under the mattress of
his bed. The swap" was made. Mr..
Bronson broke open the revolver and
raped it on the table to throw out
the shells. AS they were interested in
their conversation they did not notice
how many shells fell out. The weapon
was handed to Mr.. Doyle who put it
in his pocket and the two men re-
turned to the Doyle home. On enter
ing the room where the other men
were gathered Doyle in play drew
the revolver and shouted hands up
at the same moment pulling the
trigger. Long sprang to his feet spun
about and fell to the floor through
the door way into the room occupied
by Mrs. Doyle and the children. He
never spoke after the bullet hit him.
Doyle came to Austin and gave him
self up to the authorities, but it is
not likely that any proceedings will
be instituted against him.

mOned but deemed an inquest not
necessary, as it was evident that it
was a case of suicide. An empty
two-ounce bottle with a label from
Walter Anderson's drug store was
found with a cup by the side of it and
the contents of this had been taken
by the young lady. She had purchased
the poison couple of days previous.

were asked to hold post norton on
the body of the girl, but it was soon
revealed by them the cause for her
rash act.
