Girl Is Gone
Slayer Held Under HeaUy
Bond W hereGbOuts of
Pretty Cause Mystery.

CHICAGO, May s.-Mrs. Lillian Row
land was arraigned IN police court here
today on a charge Of murder-ths slay-
ing Of her husband. Dr. Thomas ]. Row
land. DR.. Rowland was shot to death in
his apartment early yesterday.
Beside Mrs. Rowland when she faced
the court was Mrs. Nellie Malloy, mother
Of Julia Irene Malloy, the 1o-year- old
office assistant, who is the third char
acter in the triangle" that is believed
to have been responsible for. the slay-
ing Of DR.. Rowland. 1t is declared that
Dr. Rowland and Miss Malloy had been
intimate for several years. Mrs. Malloy,
mother Of the girl, said she would stand
by Mrs. Rowland and do all she could
to help her.
Mrs. Rowland, according to the police,
has confessed she shot her husband when
he attempted TO attack her during a quar-
rel. She was held In bonds OF $4,000
aud a continuance ordered until Thurs
day to await the outcome OF the cor
oner's inquest.
Irene Malloy, the new love for old In
the Rowland murder case, was missing
today.
Police rushed to the apartment Of DR..
Rowland, S35, 600 a year specialist, when
cries of his wife were heard. The doctor
was found on the floor shot and the wife
barricaded In a room.
The story Of the doctors infatuation
for Irene Malloy was brought to light
by the tragedy.
This is the story OF the gilrls mother :
Irene was a pretty 16year-old girl,
and good girl when she started to work
for him three years ago. l first became
suspicious when Irene came home and
told me the doctor gave her a dollar tip
for every Sl00 he took In.
at wasn't her fault We were poor.
He offered her everything, trips TO Homo
lulu, fine clothes, diamond rings, every
thing that every girl yearns for.
II told him he was running my daugh-
ter. He wouldn't listen to me.
Finally I went to Mrs. Rowland and
asked her to influence her husband to
stop playing with my daughter.
"Then Irene left home-I haven't seen
her since
It is the police theory that demands
Of Mrs. Rowland upon the doctor to give
up the girl caused the quarrel that ended
in a tragedy.

Public Roads

. We would like to call your at
tention to the necessity for doing
work on the highways in the
county. If the roads could be by
any means graded, there will be
sufficient funds from the auto
mobile tax to keep all such prop
erly graded. With a graded road,
and it kept dragged as required,
the road problem is to a great ex-
tent solved. One would not have
to go very far to see the good
effects Of "a graded and properly
dragged road. We have some in
this county, along the Burlington,
and the road east from Selmer.
But as good a demonstration as
can seen is the road north and
south through Chester county.
It is graded, and with the system
of dragging that is used, we
doubt if a better dirt road can be
found. If a few days could be
designated as road building days,
and the people, old and young
