"The peace resolution will be taken

over the place. It's brand new idea
conceived by the committee on ar
rangements-to have a private tele-
phone system connecting all the state
delegations down on the convention
floor with the speakers stand.
When wild-eyed delegate over in
the right hand corner leaps to his feet
to gain recognition and make a few
burning remarks, an Unconditional tele-
phone operator behind the chairman S
desk will rattle the bell under the
chair of the leader of the particular
state delegation involved.

In his telegram, Mr.. Bargen stated
that during the time Mr.. and Mrs.
Wolf lived at Mountain Lake. the d.
vorced husband had appeared at the
Wolf home there and that bad blood
between them was shown on several
occasions. 1t is believed that one Of
the main reasons why the VOLTS NOV
ed to North Dakota was because Of
this trouble. - ..4
The authorities at Turtle Lake have
been informed of Bargen's telegram
and they announced that they will
take every precaution to prevent the
man. if he, is in that neighbOrhOOd,
from escaping. All strangers in the
Turtle Lake region have been examin.
ed by. authorities and forced to ex-
plain their presence and actions there.
Owner Of Gun Not Found
The ownership Of the shotgun found
in slough one mile from the farm
and the weapon which the authorities
believed was used in killing Mr. and
Mrs. Wolf, four Of their five dead chill
dren and the hired boy, still remains
a mystery. Farmers in the neighbOr-
hood have failed to identify the gun
as belonging to anyone in that section
and yet they are positive that it was
this gun, which was used by the MUIR
derers. .s.... ID. ... ..,s
The bloody overalls found in the
kitchen, under which the bodies of
Mrs. Wolf, three of the daughters, and
the hired boy were found, may have
been worn by one Of the murderers.
The authorities state the overalls
might nave belonged to Wolf and
were used by the murderers to mop
up some of the blood on the kitchen
floor Every effort is being made to
clear up the ownership of the overalls,
which with the shotgun are the only
clues on which the authorities have
to work. f.
Friends and neighbors of the Wolf
family discount the information re-
ceived from Mr.. Bargen. They de-
clare that Wolf and his family came
direct from Russia to the Turtle Lake
! territory in 1903. They claim that
she was never divorced These con
tlicting stories merely deepen the
/ mystery, but officials are leaving no
stone unturned.
| Wednesday the bodies of the i'll fat
ed Wolf family and the hired boy will
be buried in the little cemetery west
of Turtle Lake. Eight graves were
| dug today. 1t was necessary to send
to Washburn for enough casketY as
the small supply at Turtle Lake was
not sufficient ~
1t is expected that business in the
little village will be suspended during
| the funeral. -

That is the way 'America's most

Thomas used to talk in her poetry.
1t has just been learned that Mrs.
Thomas and her husband were d.
vorced in Paris months ago.
Society leaders of Newport, Phil
adelphia and New York have thereby
new interest in life. They have
pounced upon Mrs. Thomas weird
free verse; much of it melancholy,
seeking something that they may con
meet with the wreck of the Thomases
married life.
Mrs. Thomas is back in New York
with her two children.

once Miss Blanche May Oelrichs,

says:

Her book, "Poems,' was published
by Brentano's under the name Of
Michael Strange and it was a long
time before her Newport neighbors
discovered it.

that their beautiful leader had for
gotten herself" so far as to write
free verse.
NOW they have eXhumed the book
and are trying to find connection
between the verses and the wreck Of
her married life.
Once she wrote
"You cannot like me
