under cover with his gun. She man
aged to drop note on the trail how
ever, and was rescued by mon waiting
in the woods. They attempted to cap
ture Donahue but he was barricaded
too strongly to succeed although a
number of shots were exchanged. They
continued the watch, however, until
the arrival Wednesday morning of the
sheriff and posse of nineteen men.
Upon arriving at Donahue's cabin
Sheriff Gaffney and Deputy Sheriff
Strandberg of Manitowish advanced to
the front of the cabin and called on
Donahue to surrender The answer to
the demand was met by three rifle
shots from him. The posse was then
depIoyed around the house and alter
nate firing from both sides commenc-
ed After an hour or more of this,
Donahue once more appeared at the
door and told them to take if they
could. More shots were fired until not
the door was broken and the body
of Donahue found lying in the base
ment of the building with a bullet
hole in his head, whether from his
own hand or not was not easily de-
cided, although the coroner's jury i'm
paneled gave him the benefit of the
doubt by deciding that he died by his
own decree. A note pinned to his
person stated that he killed Powers.
Plenty of Ammunition
Donahue's rifle that was firmly
grasped in his hand contained only
three cartridges but empty boxes
scattered around indicated that at the
beginning of his resistance he was
well supplied with ammunition. The
cabin itself, was riddled with bullet
holes and from all accounts the sight
there must have been a thriller that
the majority of people only see on the
movie screen and greatly prefer to
see them at that safe distance.
Powers Killed With Hammer
Search was made for the remains
of Powers and he was found evidently
killed by several blows with a ham
mer as he slept in cot. The body
was prepared for burial by the sheriff
and he took the remains out with him
to Manitowish, the railroad station
eighteen miles distant, that night.
The body of Donahue was buried at
the scene of the tragedy.
Powers was a man of about forty
five years of age, his wife some years
younger and Donahue was apparently
about thirty-five years old. The motive
for the murder will now never be
known. The two men had previously
been on friendly terms as far as
known so that any trouble between
them must have come about suddenly.
The most logical conclusion is that
Donahue suffered from a violent form
of insanity.
Three brothers of the slain man
were present at the capture of Dona-
hue and accompanied the widow and
the remains to Escanaba for burial.

gave the news OF the crime.
Sheriff Gaffney and Dist.
Atty. O'Connor left for the scene
on the next train, that being
Tuesday morning with the inten-
ton of organizing a posse to
capture Donahue who was said
to be strongly barricaded with
in a cabin on the Powers prop
erty.
Yesterday morning, Thurs
day. word came from them that
after fusilade of several hours
in which shots were exchanged
on both sides, Donahue appeared
in the doorway and dared them
to take him. Some time after
wards, not hearing anything
from him, they broke in and
found him dead from a bullet
hole in the forehead and lying
in the cellar of the building.
With the return of Sheriff
Gaffney yesterday afternoon, all
of the facts and details of the
murder of Powers and the sub
sequent result of the besiegment
of his brutal murderer and his
fatal defiance of the officers of
the law, were available.
Sheriff Gaffney's Story
1t seems that Donahue, a guide and
caretaker of private homes in the lo-
cality occupied, had lived in one of
the cabins on the Powers property.
On the night of the murder according
to the wife Of Powers, her husband
paid one of his customary calls on
Donahue He frequently staid late
and sometimes all night SO that she
Donahue came to the Powers cottage
along in the night and told her that
he had killed her husband. He then
threatened her with death if she at
tempted to leave or inform on him,
and kept a strict watch upon her until
Monday when John Iverson, a mail
carrier stopped there. On his approach
Donahue threatened to shoot him but
upon entreaty from Mrs. Powers al
lowed him to come in and then con-
fessed the crime. Iverson advised him
to go the authorities and surrender,
which he promised to do. Iverson then
left and intended to snowshoe to Mani
towish and give the alarm. He was
prevented by illness from reaching
there until Saturday Word was then
sent to Eagle River and party of
men started for Big Lake to surround
Donahue.
Mrs. Powers Gave the Alarm
Sunday Mrs. Powers prevailed on
Donahue to let her go to the barn
some distance from the house to feed
the stock. He consented with the pro-
vision that she return within half
an hour and to make sure kept her

Land clearing is a matter of vital
interest to every business man as well
as the farmer. Every acre brought I'M
der production means that a large
part of the income will be spent with
the dealer who furnishes supplies of
any kind for the farmer and his family
and farm. A large attendance should
be given all meetings which will be
instructive to everyone.

Better Work Today

Improvement rarely begins to-
morrow When you put it off that
far, somehow it goes farther. Right
now is the only time to start on
new tack.
Today you have an opportunity
to look back on your best work of
yesterday-and beat it. You should
make a better mark, you can make
a better one, because you've bene-
fitted by yesterdays experience.
Prod your ambition, strengthen
your original purposes, put your
faith in yourself on a firm basis
of effort. You can't give every
thing you have to your work with
out doing these three things.
Only a gutter holds back his
best.

MINISTER'S WEEK A SUCCESS
Dean Gibbs of Bible College Says
Influence Felt Over State.

The secopd Ministers Week held by
! the Bible College. and the University was
a great success, according to W. c.
Gibbs, acting dean of the Bible College.
The attendance was not vcry large, bu
the result was good and the influence
felt all over the state. Many ministers
who attended the Ministers Week all
spoke highly of the week and some of
them wrote back commencing upon it.
This is certainly happy idea,
wrote Carl c. Davis, pastor of the First
Christian Church of Stanberry. Mo-, who
also attended the week, conceived in
the minds of the Christian leaders of
the Missouri Bible College and carried
out by both ii and the University auth
critics. The enlarged fellowship, the
choice lecturers brought the conference
opportunities and the new insight into
the enormous religious problems con-

Explains Operation.
Explanation of the manner which
the United States Grain Growers will
operate was given by ]. E. Scholl of
Fayette county, Mr.. Scholl also told
of the operation of cooperative live
stock commission firms, the one at ST
Louis having become the third larg-
est in the field within three weeks
handling 92 cars in the third week and
replacing in its treasury for rebating
to customers, so percent of its COM
mission charges after the first 80
days of operation. Commissions were
based on charges made by old line
firms.
The Omaha firm, said Mr.. Scholl,
refunded SO percent of its commission
charges the first year, 46 percent the
second vera, so percent the third year
and So percent last year.
In Indiana, he stated, the live stock
department has saved $26O,0OO since
its installation, and a cooperative
commission firm is contemplated and
will be explained at district meeting
at Newcastle on Wednesday.

You Can't Brush Or
Wash Out Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dan
druff is to dissolve it, then you des-
troy it entirely To do this, get about
four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon;
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning,
most, is not all, of your dandruff will
be gone, and three of four more appli-
cations will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace OF 81, no matter how much dan
druff you may have.
You will find. too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop az
once, and your hair will be fluffy, lust
rous, glossy. silky and soft. and looi,
and feel a hundred times better.
Xou can get liquid arvon at any drug
store II is inexpensive and never
fails to do the work.-Advertisem

The Farm and the Farmer
BY William r. sanborn

While it is not uncommon to find
twin lambs in the sheepfold, and occa-
sionally triplets, to find a eve with
family of four is indeed a rarity.
But just this happened on the S. S.
Hart farm, near Campbellstown, about
two weeks ago. Mr.. Hart says the
mother was unable to feed all four of
the lambs right along and when they
were one week old he took two of them
from her A night or two ago one of
these became chilled and is nov dead.
Of the three now alive one is a bottle
baby" and seems to be doing well. Mr.
Hart has quite flock of "Shrops" and
says he already has a large number of
lambs which are coming along in fine
shape
1--WE could have paid SIPS for wheat
last Saturday." said Fred Miller, of
College Corner What we can pay
today would depend on the cash mar
ket price at Cincinnati. AS matter of
fact since wheat started on the up
grade no farmer around here has want
ed to sell and for about two weeks we
haven't taken in a load. Nor have we
received a load of corn in several days.
Farmers are bullish on grain and felt
! at the high time that it was on its way
to still higher levels. AS you know
many of the large grain operators are
still of the opinion that wheat Will
again go higher shortly"
Mr. Miller is right in this matter.
Many grain men feel that the demand
for the old wheat in the country must
result in better prices before the grow
ing crop is available.
Have Stopped Buying Tobacco
| 1t is a little surprising that buyers
/ of leaf tobacco are now out of the mar
| ket; in fact, have been for some days.
Their entry into the field was rather
late, to begin with, but once started
they worked fast, at least in some Mi
ami valley districts. So far as we have
learned all buyers for the large inter.
ests have been ordered to take vaca
ton. Just how soon that vacation
may end can not now be said, but it is
known that whole lot of tobacco re
mains in farmers hands.
W. B. Eddins e Son, of Eldorado, re
! port that they had purchased two car
loads up to the time they ceased buy
ing This tobacco has not yet come
UuL III D6 udul6u III anu lOdutu CT
~ into the cars within few days
They paid II cents for all their pur
chases. Asked as to how soon they
lexpected to begin buying again, they
answered that, while they did not ex
pect to be out of the market but
short time. they could not set a date
for new purchases. We are unable
to quote other buyers around EldoradC
today, but it is evident that compare
lively little of the leaf tributary to tha
town has yet been sold.
Lewisburg Warehouses Full
If the estimate of Harry Gay, to
bacco warehouseman at Lewisburg
Ohio, is correct. some lively buying
has been done in that section. Mr.
Gay says that it is his opinion that O.
per cent of the leaf around Lewisbur,
has been contracted for. He says tina
the buying squirt didn't last long, blu
: that the buying was so lively while OF
that the local warehouses are prett,
well filled. Mr.. Gay said that his to-
