morning by his mother, Mrs. HI.
Schmelz when she went to call him for
breaHa about Z o'clock. Mrs.
Schmelz called Edward but he did not
answer her so she went to his room.
Finding he did not stir in response to
her summons, she placed her hand upon
his face and found it cold and investi-
cation proved that he had been dead
for some time.
Had Been in Poor Health.
Mr.. Schmelz had been sick for about
week and had just gone back to his
job at the Stockstead Candy Kitchen
the day before his death. Atthe close
Of the days work he com planned to his

but rushed hatless il the rain to the
Setter garage for help, fearing that his
mother would next attempt the life of
his sister. 5s.
Upon entering the garage, he found
several present and proceeded to tell
them that his mother had fred at
him when he went home. He was
telling them how lucky he was that
he had not been hit, when one Of the
men caught sight Of the blood on his
coat and informed him that he had
been shot in the neck. A closer ex-
animation revealed the fact that the
heavy bullet had entered the fatty por-
ton Of the back Of the neck from the
left side, just missing the spinal col
|umn. The wound was such that he
felt no pain and under the excit tement
did not know it was there. s:5
Girl Reused By Shot.
/ Meanwhile, further developments oc-
Cured at the scene Of the attempted
murders. When the shot which was
meant for the brother was fred, the
girl, who had lapsed into semiscon-
.sciousness was awakened, arose and
ran from the house. She crossed the
street in her night dress to the George
Witty home and pounded frantically
on the door. The Witty family had
retired, but heard the frantic pounding
and the appeals for help. Mr.. Witty
opened the door and was confronted
with the gruesome spectacle Of the
poor girl, who had fallen to her knees.
Her features were unrecogniza and
her garment was drenched with blood.
He carried her into the house and called.
up the police and Sheriff Norman.
The boy was taken in hand by the
garage force, who also notified Sheriff
Norman. Several then left for the Fled
Ter home in response to the appeals
of the boy. When the authori-
ties arrived, they found the place in
darkness and no trace Of the mother
could be found. A hurried search Of
the ground outside failed to show foot
prints ofithe mother, although those Of
the boy and girl were discernible. The
rain and snow quickly wiped out all
traces, however.

NOT A MATTER OF TAXES.

r u r 4 = sI . r. 4 : r.
In last weeks issue OF the Broae7s
Cou7,tY Journal it was stated that mem
bers Of the Junior Pioneer organiza-
tion would be taxed to the extent
of $500 each for the purpose of raising
funds for the coming celebration. This
is not quite the exact truth, and
Junior Pioneers who are working on
the celebration have asked the RepieaD
to state that there will be no systemat-
ic taxing" Of the Junior Pioneers but
all members are asked to give what
they can give at the time the funds
become necessary. The simple fact
that one is a Junior Pioneer does not
make him liable to pay $500 to the
fund. If he feels that he can donate
this amount his contribution will be
gratefully accepted but there is abb.
solutely no obligation and no one
should hesitate to become Junior
Pioneer on account Of this proposed
plan. Every one who is entitled to be
| a Junior Pioneer is wanted as a mem
her Of the organization even if he is
not able to contribute one cent beyond
his fee for annual dues.

BOX CARS JUMP TRACK.

For some reason not quite under
stood, several box cars attached to q
freight train which was switching at
Cambria one day the past week Jump
ed the track and one Of them which
was loaded with oats went down a
five foot embankment. The entire
top Of the car came off and the oats
poured out like water. Most Of the
oats was salvaged and loaded into an-
other car and the freight train was
delayed for only about two hours.
The train was switching at the time
to take on q stock car and the dam
age done was not very great. The
sWaseca wrecking crew came up the
next day and cleaned up things.

NO PAVING NOW w..
FOR STATE STR.
CITY COUNCIL REJECTS PLEA
OF THOSE WHO FAVORED
IMPROVEMENT.
TIME is NOT RIGHT, THEY
FEEL FOR ANY GREAT
EXPENDITURES. .,=

~~~-S
year, the City Council having rejected
the petition which was presented to
them some tine ago by a number OF
property owners living along that
thoroughfare. This action OF the
Council was taken Wednesday even
ing of last week when special meeting
was held at which those who favored
the paving and those who opposed 1t
were given hearing before the
Council. The City fathers decided
that it would be best to have all sewers
and water connections made with
every lot on State street before any
paving is done. 1t was not stated
that the Council was opposed to paving
but rather that they felt the time is not
right.
Arguments Against.
The objections to the paving pre-
sented by those who did not want the
street work done this year were as
follows:
/. The expense is not warranted at
this time because of financial condl-
tions and as it would cause hardship to
many property owners to meet the as
sessments.
2. Due to the present condition of
the CITY treasury the city would not
be warranted to bear it's portion OF the
expense without bond issue.
3. The specifications as to width OF
the proposed Improvement are not
practical. The many public buildings
on State street make wider thorough
fare than contemplated necessary.
For instance: A hearse drawn up to
public building on narrow street to
receive q coffin would necessarily block
the traffic. ....
4. The now happy parking arrange
ments would necessarily have to be
interfered with at the many churches
on that street.
5. The noise caused by the clatter
of hoofs and otherwise on cement
navement in resident, school and
church district.
6. Pavements induce speeding so
detrimental to the safety OF the pu-
pills attending the many institutions
of learning situated on that street.
T. The cost of maintenance will be
far in excess of the present cost.
8. Experience has taught that the
dust on Minnesota street cannot be
allayed during certain periods OF the
wear. We do not wish State street en-
numbered with this unsanitary condi-
ton.
9. Concrete paving is an expert
ment too costly to try out in view OF
the fact that we have gravel locally
far better suited for road and street
purposes than concrete.
10. The many public buildings on
State street would necessarily throw
large part of the cost on the public at
large, meaning additional indirect tax
alton.
Arguments For.
Those who favored the paving at the
present time felt that one good reason
for doing it new would be that prices
are much lower than they were last
wear and they figure that it is not likely
that they will 60 any lower but rather
might be higher. They also believe
that permanent Improvements for City
streets are cheaper than the expenses
of maintaining such streets as we have.
The discussion took considerable tine
and covered practically every side OF
the subject. The fact that there are
IS property owners on State street who
signed the petition for paving indicates
that there is sufficient sentiment IN
fo1yor of ma wing To bring the matter up

At the examination nothing was

that death did not come from gas poi

on to believe that there was any drink
