$4,000 worth of Holstein cattle, put
vacuum cleaners in the barns to clean
the creatures with installed electric
fans to drive off the flies, invented q
fycatchor that put the flies TO death
rainlessly by poisoning them with gas,
and added what Cy would call minor
improvements. These included many
6ne buildings that are the wonder of
stock men everywhere. Desiring to
improve on his herd, Cy paid $4,000
for half interest in one Holstein bull
and $4,000 for another.
Cy bought $4,000 worth of hogs for
his farm south of town and installed
them in a steam heated, electriclgh
barn. Knowing that many tourists
would visit this place, he built a hotel
with fifty rooms on his farm, con-
structed an artificial lake and dance
pavilion big enough for 1000 couples
and a fire station with all the neces-
sary equipment. He also constructed
a clubhouse for his employees that
cost $4,000 to furnish and a play
ground for the children that covered
ten acres.
On the third farm Cy started in to
national poultry show in Madison
Square Garden, New York, and after it
was over bought all the birds he could
When he had fixed them up in coops at

Sixty thousand persons attended Cy's

Only relatives and few friends we're
present at the services. The Rev. J. y.

ciated. In the course of his brief re-
marks he expressed disapproval of the
small value placed upon human life in
these times and the careless manner in
which persons lose or are deprived of
it" The body was taken to New York
Bay Cemetery, at Bergen, N, j., for Gre
nation.
Mr.. Hernming said that he had no
desire to have the investigation into his
fathers death reopened
I'm view Of the findings Of the
authorities at Northport," he said, ~
feel there is nothing l can do, although
there may have been some peculiar
circum stances associated with my
fathers death. My only wish is to
forget the sad occurrences and that
the case be left as the investigators
have determined"
Mr.. Partridge yesterday reiterated
his statement of Saturday, which was
to the effect that he had found moth
ing to connect Mrs. Hemming with the
Staying of her husband.
II have heard that Sheriff Kelly ex-
pressed the opinion that Mrs. Heming
should be held because she did not pre-
vent Eberhardt from shooting Mr.
Hemming" Mr.. Young said, "but from
the investigation, which resulted in the
murder and suicide, l still can see no
reason why Mrs. Hemming should be
detained.
She Is Willing To Be Questioned
"Mrs. Hemming called me on the
telephone to-day from her home on
Duck Island and said she would be
willing to be questioned further, if nee
essary. She said she was going away
for rest and gave me her address. I
informed her there was no need for an
other investigation at this time in the
light of present circumstances 1t is not
my intention to take any further steps
unless complaint is made by Mr..
Hemming's son, or new evidence is
forthcoming that would tend to show
Mrs. Hemming could have prevented
the shooting. l consider the case closed,
and am SO reporting to Mr. Young"
District Attorney Young declared
that the purpose of to-day's conference
was to determine what connection, is
any, Mrs. Hemming had with the muir
der of her husband
Il will be glad to cooperate with
Sheriff Kelly" said Mr. Young. 'If
anything tends to show that Mrs.
Hemming had any criminal connection
with the murder of her husband, we
will take action. will hear all the
Sheriff has to say. 1t may be as he
says, that Mrs. Hemming has not ex-
planned fully all we wish to know in
connection with this affair"
