The Christ- mast tree in the corner of the room, the dolls and other playthings of his little girl, and the dining table laden h Christmas gifts were crimsoned with blood and shattered by the shot from the gun. The two women and the little girl then ran for two miles thru a drift- ing snowstorm to a neighboring ranch to secure help. However, before help arrived Swan Swanson, a neighboring rancher, passed the house and discoy- ered the tragedy. Dr. J. C. Kamp, who was sum- moned by a messenger on horseback, arrived a few hours. after the tragedy and gave medical attention to the women and little girl who were erical from the tragic events and the trip thru the blinding wind, seantily clad, to the neighboring ranch. A coroner’s jury composed of Pat Royee, Swan Swanson and J. B Griffith, was immediately summoned and accompanied by Sheriff Payton and Undersheriff Elswick, made the trip to the ranch, viewed the body, and will complete their inquest in the sity today some time, when the eye witnesses will be examined. Friends and neighbors are at a loss to account for the rash act of Cheno- weth. He apparently had not been irinking for some time and his finan- ul business affairs are said to be in excellent shape, while his home life seemed to be ideal. At the Wilson school entertainment held on Christ- as Eve the dead man had played Santa Claus to the children and helped decorate the little schoo! for the affair. A strange coincidence in connec- tion with the tragedy is the fact that about twenty years ago, at about the same time of the year, Johnny Adams, who owned and operated the me ranch, blew his head off in the me room, in almost the identical spot, with a high-power rifle, and Judge Tubbs, then sheriff of the county, a officiated as the inquest. The body of the unfortunate man is now at the Shaffer-Gay undertak- ing parlors, but funeral arrangemen will not be completed until relati are heard from. Besides his wife and little girl, the ideceased is survived by several }brothers and sisters, all of whom re- side near New eed Ind. “WAS. JENNINGS VICTIM OF FLU Mrs. B. Mayiienn Jennings, wife of | Lloyd H. Jennings, died this morning at 10:55 after an illness of Spanish linfluenza. Her death was unexpect- ed, however, as she had been recover- ing nicely until about half an hour before she died, when a relapse oc- curred, death resulting shortly. Mrs, Jennings leaves her husband who is employed in the Union Paul Line office, and one son, Harr: student at the Natrona County High Schoel. Her mother, Mrs. Phillips, who lives at the Jennings home, also survives. Mrs. Jenings was a member ef the First Baptist church of this city and was a splendid Christian wo man. No funeral arrangements have been made as yet, but interment will probably be made in Casper. —_—_—>— (By United Press) BERLIN, Dec. 26.—The ex-Kais- er’s chief supporters like himself are in exile.

The giant German jiner that was interned in New York harbor when hostilities between the English and Germans broke out and which had remained there up to the |time that the president declared war on Germany in 1917. Many of those from the west who visited the great city of Manhattan have viewed the big ship as she lay jin her berth off the Hoboken pier and when war was declared, the gov- ernment allowed the news to go out that the ship was taken over and that the machinery had been damaged beyond ordinary repair by the crew before they left the vessel. The word was also sent out that its name had been changed to the Leviathan but af- ter that no message was given out as to the big ship and as to what had become of her was mostly conjecture Casper Boy Member of Crew Now, however, with the censorship lifted, the story of this great ship is one of the finest romances of the war and it is doubly of interest to the peo: ple of Casper for on its decks for nine of the ten trips the giant ship made in the interests of the army and navy, has stood a Casper boy, a cee semen o City News | (cet es Walter H.
