ACCUSE HER FATHER
OF KILLING GIRL IN 1911
Neishbor's Testimony May Free Man
Who Has Served Ten Years
For Crime.

Madison, Wis, Oct. 8.-Martin
Lemberger, father of Annie Lem
berger, 7, who was killed here in
1911, was arrested today on a war
rant charging second degree murder,
marking the climax Of hearing on
an application of John. A. johnson
for pardon after serving ten years in
State Prison Tor the murder of the
girl.
Testimony duplicating the father
was given at he hearing by Mrs. May
Sorenson, neighbor of the Lemberg-
ers, who declared that for ten years
she had kept silent, fearing that
Lemberger would carry out an al
legged threat to "choke her to death
if she ever told anybody"
According to the woman's story,
the father struck his daughter on the
head with a poker after she had tip
ped over a pail of liquor she had OBJ
tanned for him. The girl was dead
before she was placed on the bed,
She said Mrs. Lemberger 'afterward
had told her.
johnson has steadily maintained
his innocence, asserting that con-
fession he later repudiated was made
through fear that he would be
lynched.

First American Train Robbery.

Train robbery, pastime which was
for some years very popular In the
West, was inaugurated ~ years ago
at verido, Nevada, when the Overland
express was held up and despoiled Of
about $4,000. This robbery marked
a new departure In the field Of crime,
for previously only stage coaches and
travellers had fallen prey to holdup
men. When western outlaws are dis
cussed. the name Of Jesse James 10
usually the first brought up. but he
was not the pioneer train robber.
That dubious distinction belongs to
one Buck Taylor who, with four COM
panions. pulled of the train holdup

Owls are the pet aversion Of crows.
In daylight they heap such complete
yituper ition upon an owl's head, that
the process thus badly reveals to
what vulgar depths at times bird
nature may fall. Crows will hang
about In squads tormenting, scolding
pitching at the silent owl and then
retreating. for a day at time, never
ceasing their aspersions and denunci-
ations--but they always act In con-
cert, never alone. At night the role
