GEORGE I.NEUMANNIosT HIS LIFE
WHILE BATHING At IDlEwILD
DAUGHTER NEARLY DROWNED
(. J. Oswald Rescued The Girl
But The Father Was
Beyond Rescue

One OF the saddest drowning acci-
dents that Crystal Falls has seen oc-
CURED at Idlewild, Fortune Lake, last
Sunday afternoon when George j.
Neumann OF Chicago lost his life
while bathing in'the lake opposite the
Corcoran cottage. Mr.. Neumann had
Just entered the water and took his
little daughter, Helen. on his back, in
tending TO swim out ways with her
and back to the shore again. How
long he was in the water isn't Just
known but IL was only few minutes.
b. J. Oswald was sitting on his
porch and was attracted by the
screams OF the child He fastened
to the waters edge and, although ham
| pered by having on his clothes, struck
out and saved the child. The little
one cried out, Daddy is down there"
and pointed TO the water. Mr.. Os-
wald struck out again for the father
and managed TO located him lying on
the bottom OF the lake in about nine
feet OF water He dragged the body
TO the shore but life was extinct al
though an effort to revive him by use
OF pulmoter was made.
Tragedy OF Sudden Happening
From information received after the
drowning we learn that Mr.. Neumann
and his family left the Corcoran home
in this city about five o'clock in the
afternoon with the intention OF spend
ing the evening at the lake cottage.
Mr.. Neumann and family came here
from Chicago Sunday morning and
were intending TO spend Mr.. Neu-
mann's vacation in Crystal Falls.
Those who met him during the day
found him in the best Of health and
spirits; in fact he remarked how well
he felt at getting up into this north
land
The day was an unusually warm
one for this country and after going
to the lake the natural thing was to
battle so Mr. Neumann, Mr. Corcoran
and the children went to the changing
house. The little girl had a pair OF
water wings and, Mr.. Neumann COM
pleting his preparations for bathing
first started into the water.
He intended 10 give her ride as he
was a good swimmer. The exact
cause OF his going down is not known
as no one was in the water with him
excepting the little girl. He must
have gone down suddenly and the lit
tie one went with him. When she
came up she cried out and that at
tracted Mr.. Oswald Her lungs were
quite we'll filled with water VIXEN res
cued but she was able 20 tell Of her
fathers being down. When found
Mr Neumann lay face down with arms
outstretched as in the act OF swimm-
ing.
Was Prominent Business Man
The remains were taken at once 10
the Henry undertaking parlors and
prepared for transportation 70 Chicago

ness man OF Chicago and held the po-
sition OF head credit man for the big

Locals Found Little Difficulty In Dis

Opponents
BATTING AVERAGE
y Games, including July 4. 1921

The ball game last Sunday between
the Negaunee and Alpha-Crystal Falls
teams promised to be a "hoss" race
but IL ended In a procession with the
locals leading by score OF 8 tod.
For four innings the two teams play
ed perfect ball with Negaunee having
the best OF 1t so far as hits were con-
cerned, but neither side having any
scores to their credit.
Then Negaunee pushed one over and
IL remained that way for half an inn
ing longer when the locals commenced
OF hit the pill and the Negaunee boys
began 10 boot IL. From the sixth 10
the end II was not a good game.
The locals tried out Walter Hoar
OF Iron River, a young man who was
found 10 have pretty fair curves and
fair control but for some reason he
didn't have any fooling stun behind
his curves. Negaunee took 20 his Of
ferings like a duck to water but the
boys behind Hoar played like wildfre
and saved him from a disastrous de-
defeat Spectacular catches were made
and tightening shots from the left cor
ner OF the diamond cut down the Ne
gaunee runners in a manner that as
tonished many OF the fans and took
the Negaunee boys of their feet.
For Negaunee a man named Ander-
son was on the mound. He was big
enough to scare the batter and he had
steam TO back up his bigness. For
five innings he held the locals hitless.
Then things started breaking AL
Annear made the first hit reaching
second on the slow return. Young
Hoar came up and evened up the
score-Negaunee had pushed one D.
cross in the previous half-by sin
Cling past first base and Annear came
home. In the next inning the Ne
gaunee team went to pieces when.
with two down, the locals started hit
ting The hits and fumbles OF the
Negaunee bunch netted our team six
runs.
In the next inning Anderson caught
one of Hoar's shoots on the end Of his
club and sent II away over the fence
near deep center. II was the longest
hit made on the local grounds so far
and the batter was roundly cheered
as he crossed the plate with a homer.
Two doubled over the right field In
the next inning netted Negaunee two
more. total count of four, where
they stayed.
The finish was a thriller. Negau-
nee got runner on with two down
and Anderson came 10 bat The crowd
yelled 10 Hoar to let him hit AL An
near had taken the measure OF the big
fellow and was playing deep center.
Sure enough, he hit, whether Hoar
meant him to or not The result was
another screecher Annear took one
squint at the ball, then put his head
down and ran back almost 10 the
tfence, turned and pulled down the fly
right In the corner 1t was magni-
fcient effort and a magnificent catch,
as good a catch as any big Lacquer ev-
or put up.

a voice barely audible beyond range
of the attorneys. LYDIA Meyer South.
ard Tuesday morning on the witness
stand told her story Of the death OF
her fourth husband, Edward F
Meyer, for the murder of whom she
is now being tried.
The calling of the defendant to the
witness chair came as an almost com
plete surprise. A special recess OF
10 minutes was asked for by the at
torneys for the defense for the pur-
pose of conference. A witness pre-
viously asked for was being sought by
the bailiffs. At the close Of the re-
cess announcement was made that this
particular witness was not then re-
quired.
"CalI your next Witness" directed
the court. At a word from counsel
Mrs Southard got up and walked to
the witness stand
A buzz of conversation broke out
among the spectators as she took her
seat.
The defendant detailed her story Of
the final illness of Mr.. Meyer up to
the time of his death. She admitted
buying two packages of insect exter-
minator at the Fisher Drug company
store. She declared that her husband
was taken to the Twin Falls county
hospital at her orders and that he was
not noticeably i'll during the trip.
Asked directly if she had ever ad
ministered poison to Edward f. Mey-
er. the defendant replied:
81 did not-no. / didn't
ibid you at any time during the
illness administer arsenic?'
The same question was addressed to
the witness Mrs. Southland by attor-
ney Guthrie in the examination with
respect to Edward Dooley and Cor
don McHaffie and in each case the
answer was practically the same as
that in the case Of Meyer, I did not"

EBERT |NSTRUCTS
W|RTH To FORM
ANOTHER MINISTRY
New Cabinet Will Take Office
Wednesday; Changes to be
Made Later.

Berlin, Oct. 25.-(By The Associat-
ed Press) Joseph Wirth, who resigned
from the office OF German chancellor
last Saturday, has been designated by
President Ebert to form n new cabinet.
He has consented to assume the task.
It was an eleventh hour attempt to
solve the political chaos brought about
by the Wirth cabinets retirement on
Saturday that President Ebert Tuesday
requested DIR. Wirth to form a So
called business mems or non parliament
tary ministry. 1t is expected that the
new government will take office We'd
nesday.
The cabinet will not be coalition
one, US all efforts to reconstitute the
three party bloc or to induce the Ger
man peoples party to enter govern
ment failed definitely when the dem
ocrats and the representatives of the
peoples party withdrew from the in
fer-party conferences owing to dis
pute over the Upper Silesian decision.
The majority socialists and the cler-
ical party will constitute the nucleus Of
the parliamentary support actually
vouchsafed the new ministry. The
democrats and the independent social
lists promise to stand by It, while the
German peoples party again agrees to
observe benevolent neutrality. The
cabinet, it 10 considered, will be wholly
an emergency 1hakeshift which will un-
dergo changes few weeks hence.

Claims Working Man
Is Forced to Stand All
of Present Burdens.

Cleveland, Oct. 25.-tBy The As
sociated Press. In a statement Tues
day. W. S. Carter, president of the
brotherhood Of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen, declared that IF
press reports are to be taken at their
face value, the whole power of the ad-
ministration is going to be used to de-
feat the strike of the employees" Mr..
Carter was director of the division of
labor of the United States railroad ad-
ministration during federal control of
railroads. &
Got No Heip
There seems to be no disposition
on the part Of any one to bring about
m equitable adjustment and there is
where the matter stands, President
Carter said, adding what is to be done
between now and October 80, no one
knows
"A source Of irritation which has
road employees is the general attitude
of the railroads and of everybody else,'
including the administration, that up
on labor must rest the entire bur-
den of getting back to normally The
public press has lent itself to the de-
termination on the part of the capital
lists of this country to 'deflate labor"
and at no time have railroad employees
even seen anything in the public press
indicating that either at Washington
or. elsewhere where big business
seems TO dominate, there has been any
thing said ON behalf of labor in this
campaign of deflation
The open shop propaganda of last
year made it evident to railroad EN-
ployes that there was conspiracy on
the part of big business to destroy
labor unions, If it were possible to ac-
hieve that purpose.
Labor Blamed
Immediately upon return of the
railroads to private control leading
railroad president and others, hired
for the purpose, began nationwide
to convince the public that
the high rates were caused by high
wages Statements made before the
labor board at its hearings. and before
the senate committee on Interstate
commerce at its hearings under senate
resolution 23 were deliberate falsifi-
cations of the facts. and for the pur-
pose of creating public opinion that
the railroads had been badly treated
by the government and that railroad
employees had been given more than |
