ton Wednesday afternoon, youth

Authorities Monday were investigat-
ing the mysterious death of Alvin Max
Schneider, IL, son of Max L. Schneid-
er, Monroe barber, which occurred on
Sunday evening after the boy had been
found in a stupor in the barn on
farm where his family was visiting.
At first it was believed the boy had
drunk some wine and had been
affected by it. His condition became
more serious and he died within few
hours After an intensive investiga-
ton authorities concluded that the
bows death was caused by the kick or
a COW. Companions, playing with the
boy at the time he was kicked, were
too frightened at first to tell their
parents.
Lurking in the background of the
murder Sunday of Jump River" Kel-
ly. gun toter and "the man without a
first name" it was indicated at Jump
River Tuesday, when authorities in
vestigating the crime divulged the
fact that the man had been kicked in
the face by the assassin after the lat
ter had sent a bullet into the heart OF
the north woods "bad man." The en-
tire side OF the mans face had been
crushed Apparently the killer wore
pair of heavy boots and had leaped
upon the body of his victim after he
had fired the fatal shot. Mute evidence
that Kelly feared an attack is borne
out by the fact that the dead man was
clutching his revolver in his hands
when found in his garage early Sun
day The fatal shooting was the third
attack on Kelly's life within month.
There will be very little cold wealth
er for the remainder of the winter, but
lot of snow, according to the pre-
diction of Charley Headfyer, Lac
du Flambeau Indian, whose reputation
as a weather prophet extends through
out northern Wisconsin. He says he
expects to see four feet of snow in
the north woods before spring. Those
tications for many years claim that
the old Indian seldom has been wrong.
He says there are certain signs, when
he declines to reveal, which foretell
the weather many months. 1t is said
that he predicted the cold weather OF
December. Headf1yer is nearly 80 years
old. but does not appear more than so.
He is as straight as an arrow, as sup
pie as an athlete, and his hair IS
only slightly tinged with gray. He
says his mother lived to be 1O3. Head
flyers grandmother was french
woman and he claims to be descen-
dant of Solomon Juneau, the founder
of Milwaukee. For many years he has
followed farming, at which he has
been very successful.
Infatuated because his love was not
returned, F. X. Bernard, sc, OF Hlb-
bling, Mimi, native Corsican, We'd
nesday shot and probably fatally
wounded Miss Lora Palmer, %, Uni
versity of Wisconsin instructor in Ro-
nance languages and French house
chaperone, and moment later turned
the gun upon himself and blew out
his brains. Miss Palmer, resident OF
La Crosse, shot twice through the alb
domen, was reported near death on
Thursday night. Physicians have re
moved one bullet and will attempt
blood TRANSMISSION before attempting to
probe for the other, which pierced her
stomach and intestines and lodged IN
her back. moral: Never trif1e with a
mans love-" This was the cryptic con-
tent of note found in the coat pock-'
ct of the dead man. There was no wit
nesses to the tragedy, which has cast
a pail of horror over the university
campus. A maid admitted Bernard to
the French house shortly after a.
