The combined efforts of state,

S. F. Martin, We'll
Known Over State.
Dies at Blair

Blair, Neb., Dec. 2l.-(Special
Telegram is. F. Martin, aged IS
years, prominent citizen and bust
ness man, died Saturday evening at
the family residence in this city. He
had been suffering for some months
with cancer, but was able to be at
his place of business until within a
few days ago.
Mr.. Martin was born at Somerton,
Ohio, and went with his parents to
Des lMoines, Ia, where he entered
the hardware business as clerk,
later owning hardware stores at
Lewis, Atlantic and Carol, Ia. He
came to Blair in 1908, and with Jo-
seph Nurre, bought out and reor-
gained the old Blair Canning COM
pany, under the firm name of Martin
& Nurre, about five years ago.
Upon the death of Mr.. Nurre he
took over the entire plant, and later
was associated with C. o. Dawson
of Los Angeles, Cal. He was mar
ried September 8, 1868. at Norwalk,
Ia, to Miss Agnes Reeves, who,
with a half sister and two half
brothers survive him.

plebeian class. Physicians said she
had given birth to child.
Newspaper reporters worked night
and day to clear up the mystery.
City detectives, private detectives,
sheriffs and attorneys, all struggled
for a solution of the mystery.
10000 Viewed the Body.
More than 10000 persons viewed
and examined the body in Gentle
mans mortuary. Scores of persons
swore that it was the body of their
missing sister, or daughter, but in
every single instance, their claims
were disproven.
All efforts of modern criminology
failed to reveal the girls indentity.
Eight of the reporters who had
worked on the case, acted as pail
bearers yesterday. A score of Curl
Gus men and women formed the
funeral cortege.
In her nameless grave the girl
is sleeping, One of nights thousand
eyes my in time see the murder
following the mandates of tradition,
wander back to the scene of his
crime. In that little doctrine of
criminology, the police see a ray of
hope that some day the mystery
will be solved.

Pretty Girl, Dressed as Boy
Roughs It for local Color

year-old itinerant philosopher, of
Youngstown, O., has secured suf-
fcient local color" for her proposed
writings, she declared here and, fol-
lowing her arrest by local police
when she was discovered in freight
yard with her hair shaved off and
dressed in boys clothes prepared to
ride the rods" into Wyoming, she
has decided to remain in this city
until her chair grows out again" and
then return home.
Six weeks of adventure, during
which time she has Travelled some
l,5O0 miles and worked as Z waiter,
bus boy, and performed various
other tasks In the garb of boy, is
enough, Ellen says.
Ellen, who is pretty and decidedly
feminine, despite her efforts at
camoufage, learned that she could
do mans work year or more ago
when she replaced a mail carrier in
her home town that he might jour
ney to Europe and fight the Ger
mans with Uncle Sans doughboys.
Could Do Mans Work.
II thought if / could do that l
could do anything man could" she
told City Chaplain Jim Goodheart,
70 whom the police paroled her.
So, with the desire to prove that
she could do mans work love of
adventure and an ambition to OBJ
tain local color" for articles she
planned to write on equal suffrage,
the pretty wanderlust victim left her
mothers home in Youngstown,
O., early in October, planning to
travel to the Pacific coast.
Ellen had little money, and she
says she never really beat her way"
She shipped out" for the most part,

in boys clothing and secured work
