FOUR SLAIN IN WEIRD HUNT
FOR A WIFE IN FAR NORTH
Traders Love for Woman Starts
Fatal Quest for Bride for Him

Edmonton, Alberta, Dec. 81. A
weird story af Eskimo love and ruthless
murder was brought in by messenger
yesterday from the icy region of Wager $
Bay, thirty miles east of the Hudson
Bay trading post, nearly five months
after the quintuple tragedy.
The slayings, according to the report
TO police headquarters, revolved about
the amours Of "a trader named Otto
Binder. who BECAME attracted by the
wife of an Eskimo, whercupon her hus-
band and father in law volunteered to
find Binder another Eskimo woman
equally attractive.
In their search they came to hu,
in which they found woman they
thought would be attractive to Binder.
But that woman also was married. and
hor husband refused TO part with her.
The bride hunters solved the problem
by shooting and seriously wounding the
husband. His cousin. however. took Of =
fense and shot the younger Of the pair.
The elder man then opened fire. but
also was slain by the cousin. The
cousin then proceeded to slay tho
woman to save whom husband and
father had started on their bride quest
This left four year old girl father
less and motherless, so she was stran-
gled to death by one of the. 's.head men"
of the district.

ARMY OFFICERS
 WITHOUT CASH

Berlin, Oct. 12-The financial plight of some former high army officers, who, deprived of government pay which was their only income, have been reduced to straitened circum- stances has caused a nj ovement mong former soldiers to help them by do- nations of sums ranging from five to ten marks Only a few of the needy officers, however, have consented to accept such charity.
 Former Field Marshal Conrad von Hoetze ndorf declining a donation of 4,000 marks wrote:
 tI am not complaining, and feel I have little cause to complain, when I think of the many wounded men who have even less than l. This money should go to help them.
 Won HoetZendorf and his wife are living at Innsbruck, occupying a small room in which their meals are prepar- ed on an electric stove. The former field mashaPs income amounts to less than 1900 German marks monthly.
 Many former high officers have been compelled to leave Germany for Austria and Poland, where their Ger man marks have a greater purchas- ing power. Others have taken low salaried positions in the German prov iRceS where the cost of living Is low.
 Considerable sympathy for these men recently has been manifest even in liberal, socialist, radical and anti monarchistic quarters, and the news papers have been advertising the ser iousness Of their situation.

DISGUISED AS SWEET CIDER, 'MULESH0E"
 IS WITH US

Los Angeles, Oct. 12-An investiga- ton by police officers has revealed the existence of new drink in this vicin- ity-a drink with such a terrible kick" and more tertrible effects, that it has been given the name of Mule soe''
 For several weeks men have been picked up in the old saloon district suffering with distress. At the Re ceiving Hospital they were treated for alcoholic poisoning, swollen throats and in few cases blindness All Of the men treated declared they had drunk nothing but what they belleY- ed was sweet cider.
 The police investigators found cer- tain soft drink vendors have been buying in considerable quantities a h ting substance containing wood alcohol. grease and an unknown chemical to keep it from burning too rapidly. The substance was design ed to heat chahng dishes. but the un- scrupulous cider men have been mix ing it; the police say, with the cider.
 'I thought I had swallowedH liquid fire" said one poor fellow after the doctors had worked with him several hours and brought him past the dan ger zone
 The police believe they have line on all of the vendors who used "Muleshoe'' and expect to prevent it's use in the future.
