BROTHER ER-|N-LAW
HELD FOR DEATH
OF CIRCUS MAN

Mount Holly, N. j., April 29.--
A confession alleged to have been
made by Charles M. Powell that he
had been hired by Harry C. Mohr,
brother-in-law of John T. Brunen,
circus owner, to do away with
the circus man, was given out to-
day by county attorneys. On the
strength of Powell's statement,
Mohr and Powell, who are under
arrest, have been formally charged
with the murder Of Brunen at the
latter's home on March 10.
Powell was secretly arrested
three weeks ago and Mohr was
taken into custody today. Brunen
was killed with shotgun fired
through a window while he was
reading a newspaper.
When Mohr was shown the con-
fession he said that Powell was
lying. Powell is alleged to have
said that Mohr approached him at
Wilkesbarre, Pa, last fall with the
proposition to kill Brunen and
kept bounding him for nearly five
months until "the time 1t hap
pened.
Powell said that Mohr had given
him money at different times and
had promised him $1,000 for
shooting Brunen.

MURDER HITS
FREDERICK AS
FLOOD SEQUEL
Sheriff and Deputies Shot
To Death In Attempt
To Subdue Disturbers;
2S Greeks Held.

Beardstown, Ill, April 29-fBy
Associated Press. Out of the
Greatest flood in its history into
the center of the greatest shoot
ing affray it has ever experienced,
the city of Beardstown and the
village of Frederick, separated by
the swollen Illinois river, were
ioined at daybreak today in an at
tempt to exact justice for the kill
ing at Frederick last night of
Sheriff Edward Lashbrook and
Deputies Carl Neff and Frank Ut
ter of Schuyler county.
Deputy Kelly, the only survivor
among the county forces, explain
ed this morning that the section
hands mistook the peace efforts OF
the sheriff's men when the latter
approached the box car settlement
and opened fire under the misap-
prehension that they were be-
sieged.
Riffraff elements of the levcv
district objected to the presence
Of the foreigners in the commun-
ity and had molested the workers
constantly since their arrival a
few days ago, harassing and ban
tering them as they worked. Kelly
explained that a clash between
these two elements was feared ana
that the forces were sent to Fred
erick in an attempt to prevent an
outbreak. The approach of the
county officers was the signal for
the barrtcaded workers to open
fire, following which the gtneral
shooting took place.
Stories of the shooting at Fred
erick and the subsequent arrest OF
rs Greek section hands charged
with the Killings, as they jumped
from the G. B. & @. train as 1t
pulled into Beardstown, equal the
widest fiction.
Greeks Trouble Makers.
The Greeks, who three weeks
ago, when the flood at its crest,
we're ordered out of Beardstown,
were charged with nightly trouble
making at Frederick, where they
were repairing tracks damaged by
Hood waters. Sheriff Lashbrook,
with three deputies approached
the Greeks box car home last
night to arrest them.
A volley rang out as the quartet
stepped on the station platform.
Three of the four fell. Deputy x.
NJ Kelly jumped to safety behind
the station. From that point, he
says, he saw the Greeks rush to a
u b. & @. passenger train which
mad pulled into the station as the
snootlng ceased. others ran in the
opposite direction.
Violence Is Feared.

THE FARMERS WIFE
BY
Mary Ann Gray

Thanksgiving Plans+With Turkey
day only two weeks distant, house
wives are already wondering about
their menu for that holiday dinner.
This suggestion is made by the home
economics department of State Col
Iege:
Oyster soup with crisp crackers and
celery; roast turkey and dressing,
Swedish style, stuffed onions, baked
squash. mashed potatoes, rolls, frozen
cranberries; fruit salad with nut
bread sandwiches; pumnkin pie and
ice cream, coffee, sailed nuts.
Dressing-Since oyster soup is SER
we'd this Swedish dressing is more
suitable for the gobbler than oyster
stuffing: 2 c. stale bread crumbs, 2-3
c. melted butter, " C. r~aisins, chopped
Ia C. nutmeats, salt, pepper and sage.
Frozen Cranberries-Of course IL
you use mock cherry pie for dessert
some other tart relish should accom-
pany the main curse. But this recipe
is delicious: 4 C. cranberries cooked
with 2A C. sugar and liz C. boiling
water 10 minutes. Rub through sieve,
cool and pack in baking powder cans.
Stand them in salt and ice four hours.
Turn out of molds, cut and serve.
Suited Baked Onions-Make stuff
ing of 2 T. butter, " c. stale bread
crumbs, 2 T. parsley and " C. nut
meats chopped, / egg, 2 T. milk, sea
soning. Mix ingredients and stuff in
to cavaties of s onions that were par
boiled 10 minutes. Put in pan, ado
1 T. butter, u C. water, cover with
buttered crumbs and bake until ten
der.
Some hostesses prefer to serve
sweet potatoes instead of squash, es
pecially when pumpkin pie is the des
sert as squash and pumpkin e 81
much alike. Sweet potato puff c
mashed sweet potato. 2 r. butter,
| egg. % teaspoon salt, and u t. pa
prika. Mix together. pile in dish ant
bake until a delicate brown.
Mock Cherry Pfe-Cook together L
minutes l T. -four, GA C. sugar. "
chopped raisins, 1 C. water and l I
butter. Add / C. cranberries cut II
halves, let them cook until tender

State College Nurse

THE only night air that is injuri-
GUS is last nights air; open the win
dows and let it out"
Save yourself and others from colds
and grippe this fall by following these
health rules:
Avoid people who are coughing or
.sneezing. Do not attend large gath
erings If you have a bad cold. When
you cough or sneeze cover your nose
and mouth with a handkerchief. Don't
put into your mouth a pencil. your
fingers, money or anything else that
does not belong there.
Wash your hands before eating, and
when you eat, see that your food is
nutritious, simple and digestible. Re-
member that you need regulating, lu-
~bricating foods just as automobile en-
CINE needs oil and the battery needs
distilled water. Include fruit, vege-
tables, plenty of water and some
crusty foods in your daily diet.
