UNCLE DRIVEN TO SUICIDE Relative of Minneapolis Woman Who | Confessed to Slaying Child Ends His Life by Drinking Carbolic Acid Because of Worry Over Tragedy. | | Minneapolis, Oct. 7.—Arsenic has | | been found in the stomach of Viola | Leckwold, the nine-year-old Minneapo- | | lis girl murdered by her mother, ac-} | cording to the confession of Mrs. Ida} Leckwold. Simultaneously with this | | announcement from the University of Minnesota came the identification of | a dead man found in a North Minne- | apolis field as John Michaud, uncle of| Mrs. Leckwold, who, of all her rela-| tives, was closest to the woman. He | had committed suicide by drinking carbolic acid. | First degree murder was at once charged against Mrs. Leckwold by the police after the report from the} university showing strong traces of the poison in the dead girl’s viscera. Mrs. Leckwold was arraigned on a murder charge as soon as the com- plaint was finished in the county at-| | torney’s office. She wv unable to go into the courtroom un. ted and was half carried by the police matron on the other. : When the court clerk started read- ing the charge she shook violently and moaned. When the specific date of her act was reached she collapsed and | was carried from the room by court | officers. Michael Brady has been retained by | her family as her attorney. He asked | that she be given a preliminary exam- ination later. The police are inclined to believe | that the suicide of Michaud is the di- |rect outgrowth of the crime charged |to Mrs. Leckwold, but in nowise con- jmected with it. Ever since the noto- |riety of his niece’s arrest Michaud | has brooded. | ASHES COVER LARGE SECTION | Volcanoes of the Aleutian Range Still | in Eruption. | Seattle, Wash., Oct. 7.—The brigan- | dine Harriat G., Captain J. A. Mc- Innis, arrived here after a summer spent in Bering sea, and brought the report that volcanoes of the Aleutian Tange are in violent eruption. Ashes from the peaks covered rig- ging and decks, carpeted the ground of the Alaskan peninsula and spread all through the summer, members of the crew said. Mount Kaymai also has sent forth volcanic cinders. “During the summer we were an- chored in Port Holden, some 200 miles from Unimak,” said Captain McInnis. “The grass on shore was covered with ashes and the sky was always over- cast with heavy smoke. Although ULnimak island is usually covered with snow we were surprised on the way down to find the snow covered with ashes. For forty miles down the coast we traveled under the smoke cloud.” |SLAYER MAY BE BIGAMIST Police Find First Husband of Woman Held for Killing Spouse. Chicago, Oct. 7.—Police Captain Baer returned from a trip through Kansas and Missouri, where he went in search of light on the life of Mrs. Alice Sing, the white woman held to the grand jury in connection with the murder of her Chinese husband, Char- ley Sing, several weeks ago. In Richmond, Mo., he found a farm hand named Lester H. Derry, who readily identified a picture of Mrs, Sing as that of his former wife. He asserted he left her three years ago because of her temper and her habit of chasing him with a knife. He nev- er obtained a divorce from her and never received notice of such proceed- ings on her part, he said. “If the murder case fails I’ll charge Mrs. Sing with bigamy,” Captain Baer said. BARNES COMES BACK IN KIND Hot Retort to Roosevelt’s “Habitual Liar” Message. New York, Oct, 7.—With Colonel Roosevelt about 300 miles at sea, William Barnes came out with a hot retort to the “habitual liar” message which Roosevelt fired from the gang- plank. Barnes said that Roosevelt relied upon the ignorance and _ careless thinking of the public in order to get away with “incorrect and falla- cious statements,” and added that the colonel was himself largely responsi- ble for bringing about these careless habits of thought.

Two months | later he has emerged on the shores of | Lake Megantic, clad entirely in deer | skins. The point where he left the wilderness is almost 100 miles in a straight line from the point he disap- | peared. | Because he feared the displeasure of game wardens for killing a deer in the woods out of season Knowles dared not leave the woods in Maine, but crossed the Canadian line. In the whole sixty days Knowles did bot see a human being, despite the fact that during the last week hun- dreds of sporting men from New York ‘and New England were in the woods waiting for the deer season to open. By his feat Knowles proved his claim that the man of today is just as able to exist as our primitive an- cestors were without modern civiliza- tion.

FLEEING TROOPS PURSUED insurgent Army of Four Thousand Men Separate Into Two Retreating Forcesand Sustain Heavy Casual ties inTheir Attempt to Escape. El Paso, Tex., Oct. 7.—Additionat details of the federal victory at San- ta Rosalia were received by Guiller- mo Porras, personal representative of President Huerta in this city, in a dispatch received from General Mercado, military governor of Chi- huahua. What remained of Villa’s army of 4,000 men broke and fled under the final assault of General Castro’s 4,700 troops and split into two parts, one flying southward and the other re- treating to the east. General Marcelo Caraveo, with his command, pursued those who fied southward, overtook the fleeing reb- els and forced an engagement. The harassed rebels were again defeated with great loss. The fate of the revolutionists who fled eastward was even more dis- heartening. General Jose Ynez Salazar had been sent to Conchos by Castro be- fore Friday's assault and the fleeing rebels ran into a surprise. They suffered severely. At last reports they had swung and joined their comrades in flight southward. General Mercado’s dispatch reports the capture of many horses, arms and munitions with the taking of Santa Rosalia. In the final assault on the town Castro’s army moved forward with General Careveo and General Landa on the left, General Rojas and General Mancilla on the right, and Castro himself on the right. The dispatch did not say how much the federals suffered in taking the town. ar eottontetotioetoeotine~ Sesto osieeaoonsoegoaes Seieeoeie Woedeocteeteetoeteetontectectocteetentont GEO. F.
