LOVE LETTERS
READ At TRIAL
Of A. {. bURCH
Mrs. Obenchain's Missives
Ranged From Passionate Re-
gard to Denunciation.

LOS ANGELES. Dec. 7.--Reading
Of letters written by Madalynne
Obenchain occupied almost the en-
tire session yesterday Of the trial Of
Arthur c. Burchr for the alleged
murder of ]. Bolton Kennedy. The
letters were addressed to Kennedy
and ranged in their tones from ex-
pressions Of passionate fondness to
bitter denunciation. Their dates
ranged from early in 1913 to July,
1921 last, less than three weeks be-
fore the time the prosecution alleges
Burch shot and killed Kennedy with
the knowledge and connivance Of
Mrs. Obenchain.
One letter dated Coronado, CAL,
in June, 1918, was signed Mrs. j.
Bolton Kennedy" The handwriting
having been identified as that Of
Mrs. Obenchain, who was then Miss
Madalynne Conner. Half a dozen
others containing expressions Of af-
lection and also dated in 1918, fol-
lowed,

1919, or about a month after the
writer married Ralph r. Obenchain.
Of Chicago. This letter, dated in Los
Angeles and addressed to Kennedy
in this city, contained these passages:
How life has changed. "
Little did I dream that man-made
laws could bind me so closely to an
other. Dear heart, believe in
a hereafter, for / know there is
something beyond this"
A subsequent letter dated in the
same month contained this passage:
You and / know why all this had
to be- Keep faith and pray"

a remarkable industry and not the

later proved to be in the ore belt. But
these lands are only about a ninth OF
the ore lands from which revenues are

Towns Moved In Search of the Mineral - Millions of
Tons of Ore Moved Yearly Cold Facts
Which Read Like Fiction.

lBB1NG. Minnesota, called the
richest village in the world" is
being moved. This is not literal
- ly true but probably no town
ever made such history as Hibbing is
making today. One-third of the orig
inal town, in all sixteen city blocks,
Is being cleared of buildings so that
mining companies may have access
TO valuable ore deposits they wish TO
uncover and make use of. II is a sort
OF world wonder-ths spirit of the
range---whlch will swing a large part
OF village out of its path and cre-
ate a new section. 1t is u story in
which over twenty millions Of dol
lars figure as barely covering the cost
OF extension work in the new town
and this will not begin to represent
the money expended when the work
is finished.
1t is all a part OF the story of the
great iron industry of the United
States. Few persons realize at what
a white heat this is carried on or
how vital our ore mines are to the
prosperity of the world. Production
on the Messabi, Cayuna, and Vermll-
lion ranges of Minnesota have at
times run as high as 10000 900 tons
and vessel shipments have passed 62,-
100000 tons in a season.
The Lake Superior Region
While we have about twenty-four
states that produce much iron ore the
palm must be given to the Lake Su-
perior region. and the Minnesota in
particular. which furnishes about
three-fifths or sixty per cent. OF the
millions of tons which the United
States contributes to the world. Mich
igan follows with twenty per cent.

public knows so little of the vast ore
country OF. the Great Lakes and the
shipping facilities. To the 500" with
its wonderful locks and the mechan-
ical devices for loading and unload
ing can be attributed remarkable re-
suits. Before the canals at the 800"
were constructed it was necessary TO
unload freight, transport 1t around the
rapids in the st. Marie river and re-
load again. Now, any day during open
navigation one can see several boats
waiting ito lock through" All spring,
summer and fall this is continuously
going on.
Partly Owned BY State
An interesting feature in connection
with the ore mines OF Minnesota is
that many Of them are owned by the
state and every year the permanent
school, university and trust funds re-
ceive from this source by way of roy
alties about seven million dollars. Acts

be managed by eighteen to twenty

At the receiving port the process Is
