Causes Wife-Slayer to Confess

1. ; " , : :
Mrs. Frances Birch (above), 30-year-old widow, allegedly for
whose love Guy Tallraadge, 53-year-old Eockford, 111., undertaker's
assistant, killed his wife when she refused him a divorce. It ia
stated that he broke down and allegedly confessed the slaying of
Lis wife, Bessie, 53. Tuesday (May 19) near Oregon, 111., when
confronted by Mrs. Birch at the Oregon jail today.
In sponsoring the Scout movement,
the Brotherhood is performing a
very meritorious service and one
that will benefit a large number of
our boys. Scouting is not simply an
organization to "belong" to, but a
progressive movement with the boys
advancing in rank as their own dil
ligence permits. It provides a con
tact with the boys of a community
that could not be established in any
other way.
The duties of a sponsoring orga
nization are to provide an active
troop committee of three to five mem
bers who shall be responsible for the
advancement of the troop, selection
of a Scoutmaster, providing the funds
to maintain the program, etc.
The new troop here will be a part
of the Cornhusker area, covering a
total of some 53 counties in Nebras
ka lying south of the Platte, and
having headquarters in Lincoln.
An Accommodating Gentleman
While "No Trespassing" sign3 are
found at the entrance to many nat
ural beauty spots along the highways
where motorists are wont to stop for
a picnic, Frank Cook has desisted
from the placing of such a sign at
the Cook grove on what is known as
the Dreamer place, where he lives,
even though a man of less patience
would be sorely tempted to do so.
Mr. Cook is pleased to have people
make use of the grove, but at numer
ous times the visitors have left the
gate open and hi3 cattle have stray
ed out into the read and in neigh
bor's fields. lie asks that they co
operate by seeing that the gate is
kept closed.
Some city people are highly ap
preciative of the privileges accorded
them by farm folk, but there are a
small minority who ruthlessly de
stroy everything in sight, leave the
gates open and scatter paper, etc.
about the ground, and it is the action
of these few that causes many farm
ers to post "No Trespassing" signs.
Vc would say Mr. Cook is a man of
much patience and with a kindly
heart, and we are glad to call this
condition to the attention of Journal
readers, trusting that it may cease
before it becomes absolutely neces
sary to close such a popular recrea
tion spot in order to prelect his own
property. Picnickers, please note.

Clarence Price
Dies in Prison at

Vas Serving Life Term for I.lur
dcr of Niece, Edith Kuhl, at Paci
fic Juntion Last Summer.
Clarence Price, 50, sentenced to
the Fort Madison, Iowa, state peni
tentiary for life for the slaying of his
thirteen year old niece, Edith Kuhl,
died Friday at the prison hospital.
Price was a sutferer from heart
trouble for years and during his trial
at Glenwcod suffered several attacks
and since being taken to the state
prison he had grown much worse
and was kept in the hospital for the
greater part of the time. In recent
weeks his pulse has been very low
and the death was not unexpected.
In letters received by relatives in
the early part of the year he had
stated that he was again back in the
hospital and in very serious shape
and repeated denial of his guilt.
Reports of suicide reported by Des
Moines newspapers seem without
foundation in the message received
here from the prison warden.

handsomely engraved with the word
"Coach" and "1323-1936" the years
of the coach's services here.
The cup was presented by Joe
Ilendrix, senior class president, on
behalf of the present and past ath
letes of tho school and Mr. Rothert
very focling replied to the demon
stration of appreciation and affection
from those with whom he had been
so closely associated in the past
years.
