COUPLE FIGHT
 WOMAN DEAD
MAT McCLELLAND AND DIVORC- ED WIFE FIGHT OVER POSSES SION OF CHILDREN = CORO- NER'S JURY DISAGREES.

A rather complicated case develop ed as the result of the death, yes terday (Monday) morning at 1 o'clock, of the divorced wife of Matt McClelland a man about 60 years old, who lives about four miles north of Boughton. The first jury selected by the coroner to investigate the cause of the woman's death, having disagreed and were discharged. We learn that another one is to be select ed today.
 The more evidence that was intro duced in the .sse, the more the com- plications, with the result that so far we have been able to learn the au- thorities are as far from establishing the cause of the woman's death as ever.
 The first developments in the case occurred last Saturday morning when the divorced wife of McClelland, who had married again-returned to his, McClelland's home and demanded that their two small children be turned over to her and according to witness es at the ininquest. McClelland in. formed her that a written order from an attorney, stating that they should be turned over to her legally, was the only method of securing them. Wit nesses say that when McClelland made this statement the woman struck him with a stick and that after she had hit him few times, he struck the woman with a stick, which it is said he had in his left hand. The wo- man then returned to the place where she was living and, witnesses testi- fled that she was in fine spirits and ate regular and hearty meals up un- i til she was found dead in her bed | yesterday morInng. The first coro- ner's jury stood eight for a verdict of death frcm unknowa causes and four for death by nlow from stick at the bands of McClelland.

CONVENTION SEATS IN GREAT DEMAND
'5O,OO0 APPLICATIONS FOR RE. PUBLICAN NATIONAL CONyEN- TION RECEIVED ALREADY

Chicago, March 8.-Fifty thousand applications are already in for seats at the Republican national conven- ton. At the utmost there will be l3,l58 seats, including about 1000 for delegates. Several thousand addition al spectators will be smuggled in, but the municipal laws against standing room in the aisles will be strictly en- forced, so great many people will be disappointed.
 Chairman Will Hays says he never knew of such intense interest being shown in a convention this far in ad- vance. Some other party leaders say the demand for tickets indicates an expectation of a tremendous fight be- fore the Republicans settle upon a candidate who will be acceptable to all interests.
 The name most frequent mentioned was General Wood. Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, South Dakota, Minnesota, and Kentucky men said there was much Wood sentiment in their states. Wood men say they made ten-strike when Frank Hitchcock took up the management of his campaign and

 Tn response to numerous requests . hv corporations for extensions of time -ithin which to file returns of in- .ome for the calendar year ending necember 31, 1918, I wish to state that have just received telegram from the Commissioner of Internal Revenue which authorizes an exten- .;on up to May 15 for all calendar year corporations, provided they make ,oulcation therefor, setting forth their reasons for requiring such ex- tension. and file tentative returns. Corporations who should file their ,eturns on or before March 15 may have such extensions only providing they file before that date formal ap- nlication for an extension, submitting herewith a provisional return on Form 11220, showing as complete a statement as can be made at this time. It is further required that the ten tatiye return beaccompanied by at least one-fourth the estimated amount of tax which should reach this office on or before the fifteenth day of March. It should be noted that this extension applies only to corporations reporting on the calendar year basis AND IT DOES NOT APPLY TO PARTNERSHIPS OR INDIVIDU- AIS.
 "Where partnerships or individuals are unable to complete their returns before March 15, applications for ex- tensions should be directed to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Washington, D. C., unless the cause for asking an extension is based on the sickness or the absence of some one whose assistance is absolutely necessary for the making of such re- turn. In cases of sickness or absence the undersigned collector is authoriz- ed, in meriterious cases, to grant an extension of 30 days.
