given to temperament in the form
of mental anguish sent a noble en-.
terprise on the shoals of failure.
Taking the Senor's grief In
chronological fashion, the pathetic
tale slips back to last Spring, when,
with the fire of youth and the surge
Of a beautiful Mexican Spring in
his veins, Senior Soame came to
Fort Worth and located at the his.
torical stock yards here.
He rented a spacious pen and for
weeks bickered and bargained with
stock raisers for their most vicious
bulls.
Test Bulls.
Each day he stepped fearlessly
into the enclosure with only a roar
ing bull for companionship. and put
the animal through a rigid test. If
the bull developed indications of a
career, Senior Soame purchased him
outright. If not the days labor was
concluded with a weary sigh.
After several weeks of this and d
collection of twenty bulls, Senior
Soame packed up his scarlet cape,
loaded the bulls in a stock car and
started East, to give the more cul.
tured world taste of genuine bull
fighting.
Lands In jail.
The expense was overwhelming.
he landed in Newark, N. J., almost
tempted to slaughter one of the ami
mails that he might eat and have
sufficient strength to put on the
exhibit.
But his hunger was short lived.
One performance and Newark au.
thorities provided him with a city
meal. He was arrested, char ed
with annoying the bulls with a RID
flag, then lodging the animals jus.

much mental aggravation and
anguish"

TO German atrocities in Belgium and
claim to have unearthed the real
''inside story" Of the execution OF
Nurse Edith CaVell in Brussels in
the fall of 1916.
The Evening Standard announces
that the execution was due to a
blunder of the German military gov.
Ornor of Brussels. q general by the
name Of Sauberzweig. who had sole
authority to confirm, quash or mod.
fly courtmartial verdicts.
Nurse Cavell was condemned to
death with several other persons.
General Sauberzweig was particu-
larly vindictive against her and, at
o'clock In the evening of the day
before she was executed, ordered
that she alone should be shot the
following morning.
Baron Won der LancSen, although
of inferior military rank to Gen.
oral Sauberzweig, attempted to in
tervene, urging the general to post
pone the execution until he had
communicated with the kaiser.
Sauberzweig refused and ordered
the baron from his room.
Defying discipline, the baron tele.
phoned to the German headquarters
at Charleville, urging that the
kaiser should be informed of the
facts of the case and begged to
intervene. The kaiser had retired
and his officers were afraid to
wake him.
When informed of the execution

was very angry and Immediately
Reprieved the other women con.

ordering that in the future no wo-

The kaiser realized, according Il

execution was illegal, the offense
OF which she was convicted not
coming within the category of
espionage in the German military

inquiries have been made as to
whether we, in this country, have

The first move in the fight for
clemency was expected to be a let

Grant, who never has confessed
the crime, says his hopes rest with
the governor. The State supreme
court has affirmed the verdict Of
the criminal court in his case.
Krauser's appeal still is pending
end should the higher tribunal up
hold the verdict, he too, is expected
to appeal for clemency.
Grant was twenty years old at
