BLOODSHED IN EUROPE SOON
GENEVA, Nov. 8.—The “blood of

aquatic plant, which however blooms
very rarely. The phenomenon was
first seen in 1476 when 26 00') Burgun
dians under Charles the Bold were de
feated near the lake by the Swiss, The
last time the waters were blooured
was in 1914 just before the outbreak

seen on Morat there wrill be much
blood shed in Europe.”

The problem of just how fox farm
ing firms and corporations are to
make up their income tax returns is
something which may require a ruling
from the department.
H. H. Murray and G. H. Wallace,
the two government income tax ex- ]
pe,ts now in Alaska advising with i
tax payers regarding parts of the law t
that might be confusing are not pre- t
pared to give any definite answer as c
to how fox corporations may be hand- a
led by their department. (
The fox industry is a new one. but *
has rapidly developed to considera- £
ble proportions. The rule that applies £
to corporations handling stock will £
hardly apply to fox farmers for the i
simple reason that the latter cannot i g
count their stock, as is true of stock \
that is branded. A particular farmer
may have a general idea of the num- |
ber of foxes on a particular island,
but after the young pups are born, it
would prove rather difficult for him to
set forth exactly the number on the
island in order that they might be in
cluded in his assets.

NEWCASTLE, Ind., Nov. 8.—With
the filing of a notice of the final set
tlement of her estate here, the myste
rious case of Catherine Winters is be
lieved ended for all time—an unsolv
ed puzzle to the police departme.wV
and to her relatives.
How, in midday, a nine year old
school girl could vanish without the
slightest trace of her being found is
still puzzling residents of this locality.
On a March day in 1913, Catherine
was last seen. A search, began with
in a few hours, lasted for days, and
finally for years. Hope upon hope of
her fond parents was shattered as
various clues were run down and
shattered.
The last time Catherine Wilson was
“found” was when a young married
woman living in Ohio, who could not
recall her youth, came to Newcastle,
thinking perhaps she might be the
long lost girl. Her age and a few oth
er points tallied, but she was not the
missing girl.
Dr. Winters has spent his fortune
going from state to state in search of
his daughter.
Finally the girl was declared legally
dead and an administrator appointed
to take care of her estate left by her
grandparents. Millikin died and his
was named to succeed him. The son
filed the Ipapers with the court, writ
ing finis on a chapter equalling tl'4P
mysterious disappearance of Charley
Ross.

lowing the arrival in SeatHs this week
ot 100 live blue foxes from Petersburg
Alaska. These foxes are valued at

v'endovi island will thus nave the
distinction of being the farthest south
fox island in the world. As there is
only about 5 degrees difference in
temperature between Belli ogham and
Petersburg, Alaska, it is believed the
foxes should thrive.
