THURSDAY, MAY 26, 1921 LAW DEMANDS THIRD VICTIM OF ILLIGIT LOVE AND TRAGEDY WETHERFIELD, Minn., May 23. The hanging of Elwood B. Kade, scheduled last night was the third death to result from a man's wild infatuation for another's wife. When the youthful milk wagon driver became unduly attentive to the fair Mrs. Ethel Hutchins Nott in the summer of 1920, there was no shadow of the impending tragedy. Both principals apparently lived happily with their respective families in their homes in Bridgeport. Mrs. Nott is 30; Wade 23. The latter has two children, Gertrude 5, and Elbert 3, and Mrs. Nott had two children, George 5, and Mildred 3. The first death was that of George B. Nott, gambler by profession, who was attacked while sleeping in the attic of his home and later killed in the struggle. A heavy piece of pipe, a carving knife and a revolver were used. The persons who committed this murder were, according to testimony at the trial, Elwood B. Wade and John E. Johnston, who was employed by Wade on the latter's milk route. The second death was that of Johnston's aged mother, who died February 28 of a broken heart. And the end is not yet. When Mrs. Nott stands trial she will be faced by Homer S. Cumings, state's attorney and former chairman of the democratic national committee, and the man instrumental in sending Wade to the death house. Johnston, it was believed, may escape with a light sentence for his part in assisting the prosecution in Wade's trial. This 20-year-old youth was the first to break down and tell police of the murder. The murder of Nott was carefully planned and deliberately and methodically consummated. None of the principals with the exception of Johnston, appeared unduly excited when committing the deed, testimony at Wade's trial revealed. A player piano, with a roll of jazz music on it, was played to drown the sounds of the struggle. HEREFORD BREEDER'S WEALTH TRACE CALGARY, ALTA—Frank Collicutt's rise to wealth traces back to one scrub cow. He tried to make the cow's calf better than its dam. Then he tried to make the calf's calf better still. "When I owned one cow," said Mr. Collicutt, "I dreamed of owning the best purebred herd of Herefords in America. That dream became my definite goal. I allowed no hard luck or alluring side prospects to swerve me ness of purpose is t success. This new adian country is a tumities for poor m started out." Fifteen years ago was a "news butcher railway. He vision ties of the prairies ranch hand. Then ranch manager. In a few years he herd."

None of the principals with the exception of Johnston, appeared unduly excited when committing the deed, testimony at Wade's trial revealed. A player piano, with a roll of jazz music on it, was played to drown the sounds of the struggle. On Sunday morning, August 29, George Nott came home after being out all night, slapped his wife's face, went up to the attic and to bed. Mrs. Nott called Wade on the telephone. Summoning the hired man, Johnston, and getting a heavy piece of pipe, the two men drove to the Wade home. Mrs. Nott admitted them, and the pair crept up the stairs to the attic after shedding their shoes and stockings. Raising his heavy pipe Wade struck Nott five times over the head. Nott awoke, screaming and grappled with his assailant. Wade then fired twice. Mrs. Nott emerged from an inner room and handed Wade a huge carving knife, it was testified at trial. Physicians said they found 17 knife wounds in the slain man's body. That night Wade and Johnston hauled the trunk to a swamp in Easthon, 10 miles away, packed it with stores and sank it. The body was found two days later. Johnston confessed, implicating Wade and Mrs. Nott. The trial opened December 30 and lasted several weeks. Despite an insanity plea, first degree murder was the verdict. An appeal was immediately taken, but the state supreme court of errors in an opinion by Justice Wheeler on May 4, declared the court could find no error. RACINE Mitchell WISCONSIN U.S.A WAS 3-PASS.

He visioned the possibilities for poor men as when I started out. Once started as an independent rancher, he introduced pure Hereford blood and soon had a herd of fine grades. He sold off his grades and bought a smaller herd of pure-breds. Today his famous Willow Springs ranch comprises 7,000 acres. His purebred Hereford herd numbers 700 head, and his young animals have gone to every part of the continent. Many of them have sold for $5,000 and one for $20,000. His annual sales net him a small annual fortune. NEW YORK'S BLIND HAVE BIG VACATION NEW YORK.

The production of nearly $12,000 worth of food products in one year is the very creditable record of the 747 members of the boys' and girls' agricultural clubs on the little island of Guam during the last 12 months. The record is all the more remarkable when it is known that clubs on the island were organized only about 18 months ago. Each boy or girl who becomes a club member is required to grow a certain crop, or raise certain animals, according to instructions given by the Guam Agricultural Experiment Station in co-operation with the department of education. Six lines of work are taken up, the production of corn, beans, taro, copra, pigs and poultry, and because of the warm climate each year is divided into two seasons to correspond with the periods of crop production. According to a report received by the United States department of agriculture the enrollment of 747 boys and girls in club work on the island during last season represents an increase of 202 members over that of the previous season. Of this number 662, or 89.9 per cent of the enrollment, completed their work and made reports. These 662 boys and girls grew 863.5 bushels of corn, 9,566 pounds of beans, and 18,762 pounds of taro. They cared for 740 cocoanut trees and made 3594 pounds of copra. In the pig and poultry clubs they raised 204 pigs and 3916 chickens. The total value of these products was $8296.07, which taken with the $3513.63 produced during the previous season makes a total of $11,809.70 for the year. The club members made 430 exhibits at the district fairs last season. The club work is not only benefiting the boys and girls, who take it up with an enthusiasm, but it is having a marked effect in inducing the NEW YORK'S BLIND HAVE BIG VACATION NEW YORK. May 26.—The blind people of New York City are getting ready for their summer vacations. Perched high above the gleaming river at Cornwall-on-Hudson, in the midst of eight acres or richest Orange county farm land, stands a big old fashioned house with broad verandas. It is called the River Lighthouse and is the playground of the sightless, maintained by the New York Association for the Blind. Beginning June 15, groups of blind persons are conducted there by sighted guides for twelve day visits throughout the summer. The River Lighthouse is one of four projects maintained by the New York Association for the Blind. There are also the Bourne Workshop for men, the Boarding House for Man and the Lighthouse, an industrial school for adult blind. President Harding, on a recent visit to New York, took time to view the "Lighthouse" and is honorary chairman of a committee seeking a $2,000,000 endowment for the work.

WAHLBERG TAKING HIKE THROUGH SAN JOAQUIN This is Farm Bureau Traveling Conference week. Farm Advisor Wahlberg; Assistant Farm Advisor Waters and Directors Murray Horne and I. L. Marchant are traveling over the San Joaquin valley, studying Farm Bureau projects in that part of the state. They will bring to the farmers of Orange county first-hand information of what the farmers of other counties are undertaking and accomplishing toward better rural conditions and more profitable agriculture. The Farm Bureau seeks, by better and more improved methods, to advance American agriculture and make possible the production of more and better food for America and the delivery of such food to the ultimate consumer in the best possible condition and at the lowest price consistant with the result obtained. The information gathered by these gentlemen will be given to the various Farm Centers of the county after their return. Let us all come out and give them a good hearing at every center when they make their report. WILSON & BEVER BUILDING CREDIT The occasional visitor to Anaheim has been impressed with the attractive appearance of the Wilson & Bever building which has just been remodeled and has had an up-to-the minute front put in. The appearance of West Center street has been greatly improved by the progressiveness of this firm of local contractors who recently purchased the building and completely remodeled it, adding a third story and basement after all efforts on the part of the city officials to force the old owners to move the building back in line with other buildings on the street had failed. A lot of consciences go to sleep on the old political bunk.
