A Dar- den, private secretary to the governor under date of May :, she said she was circulating a petition in Mobile, and that she was being given assistance by per- sons who were against her during the trial in 1913.
 Mrs. Wessersleben was convicted and sentenced on March 21, 1913. Indicted jointly with her mother, Mrs. Mary T. Godau, she sought to prove her innocence of the charge of murdering her husband, Frank Wessersleben, who was a police man in the Gulf City. Following her con- viction she began her efforts to secure release her mother making an affidavit that the daughter had nothing to do with the killing.
 On August r. 1917, the board of pardons- composed of William l.. Martin, Miles 0. Allgood and Judge John Purifoy, refused to recommend clemency, on the ground that the mother had told four different stories about the murder. Since that time Mrs. Wassersleben has been working day and night to get evidence in the case that would prove of benefit to her at the op- perfume time.
 On the morning of December 3f. 1911. the body of Wassersleben was found several blocks from the home He had been shot several times. The records show that it was charged the man was attempting to criminally assault his mother-in-law when he was killed.
 In a pathetic letter to MT. Darden the woman thanks him for the 60-day parole.

VIM. B. Mishler, our local jewelel
and matchmaker, returned last Fri.
day evening from visit to his old
home in the east after an absence Of
month. He reports having had q
most enjoyable outing.
w. A. Thomas was in town Friday
last from Synarep, where he has been
teaching school during the winter
and while here purchased 40 acres In
the valley south of town, known, as
! the Chas. Peterson place. He will
start in improving the tract this
spring The sale was made through
Dell Hart.
From the way Dell Hart is selling
land it is evident there is growing
demand for tracts both in the valley
and the near by high country. This
would indicate that people are begin
/ ming to realize this Is the coming part
the state and that lands that are
now reasonable in price are bound to
increase in value.
The force of men getting out ice on
Otter lake for the railroad finished the
contract the first Of the week. Owing
to the continual mild weather the ice
was not of superior quality, but as
for time it looked as though the
supply would not hold out to fill the
ice houses it was necessary to take
what could be cut or 60 without.
In the list of casualties published
in the daily press Of Saturday apepars
the name Il Durwa.r. Smith That is
sure quick action in reporting the
names of wounded as Mr.. Smith was
Knocked out temporarily last July. If
the war department Is that far behind
on it's report of casualties all the re-
turns will not be in before about the
winter of 1923.
According to the sporting page of
the Review the Oroville
Gun club will be permitted to shoot
Off their match with the Kellogg team
next Sunday on account of the i'm
possibility of shooting last Sunday
owing to climatic conditions. As the
kellogg team only scored liz last
Sunday the boys are in hopes Of beat
ing that score at the coming shoot.
p. M. Snider received a postal card
Tuesday from L. L. Work, formerly a
we'll known resident OF the county.
Mr.. Work has been in Y. M. C. A. work
in France for the past year, and the
card was written from Italy, where
Mr.. Work was taking a few days off
on rest tour. He stated that he was
writing the card on stone parapet
overlooking the Mediterranean sea
with ripe oranges and lemons on the
trees and grass and flowers al!
around.

There may be dearth of money in
! this part of the country but one would
not have thought so had he been
around Bartell's store Saturday, and
| for that matter any time during the
several days following the Going out
of Business" sale that has been on
this week. The store has been crowd
ed with eager buyers and the eleven
sales ladies and statesmen presiding
over the several departments have had
little idle time on their hands. Print
er's ink and the offering of special
bargains attracted the crowds Mr..
Bartell says it is a sure enough clean
ing out of business and if the rush
continues few days longer he will
be cleaned out sure enough.
H. d. James left last week for his
home in Milwaukee after spending
several months at the Oroville Copper
mine. He expects to- return to Oro-
vile in the spring. During his sojourn
here he installed modern operating
machinery at the mine and under his
direction much progress has been
made in driving tunnel to reach the
main ore chute at the bottom of the
main shaft sunk on the ledge. For
long time work progressed very
slow, as Mr.. James had to depend
upon hand drilling, but since repairs
were made at the power plant he is
again able to turn on electric power
and the machine drills are now cut
ting away into the mountain. The ex-
posture of high grade ore in the tun-
mel Is already very extensive, and it
is the expectation that the mine will
commence shipping to the smelter
early in the spring.
Oroville has lost two more valued
citizens in the persons of Mr. and
Mrs. X. Butler, who have resided here
for several years.. The Buffers left
Tuesday morning for Minneapolis and
later they expect to go to Saskatche-
wan, Canada, where Mr.. Butler mas
brothers living and where they will
make their future home. The town
can i'll afford to lose such excellent
citizens. Mr.. Butler at one time and
another owned considerable real
estate in the valley, but has been able
to dispose of most of it. He is a
genial and likeable gentleman and he
Will be sorely missed about town
Mrs. Butler was a charming member
OF the younger married set of Oro-
vile, and she has taken an active part
IN social affairs and civic work. They
leave behind very large number of
warm personal friends who trust that
they will find their new home a pleas
ant one and that they may enjoy all
manner of material prosperity.
