Hodgenville, Ky, - Sept. 4. The
humble little log cabin in which
Abraham Lincoln was bcjrn and the
farm of 110 acres about which he
played during the early years of his
boyhood, loday became the property
of the American people as the gift of
the Lincoln Farm association.
After suffering the vicissitudes of
neglect and decay of nearly 100 years,
the cabin, once in the possession of
a traveling showman, is back on its
original site, sheltered within the
walls of a magnificent granite memo
rial hall.
Accompanying tile '.itle to the farm
and cabin is an endowment fund of
$50,000 for the maintenance of the
grounds and the memorial hall.
General John B. Castleman of
Louisville, a man Abraham Lincoln
nnr-e- KtnnA raHv in uv nrnan h.
was in danger of being condemned to
death by a tederal court-martial, was
to introduce former Governor Joseph
W. Folk of Missouri, president of the
Lincoln Farm association, the first
speaker at the ceremonies at which
the title was transferred,
Castleman Taken as Spy.
Young Castleman; then a lieutenant
in the confederate army (his title of
general dates from Spanish war days)
was arrested in Chicago during the
closing months of 1864, while on a
secret mission in connection with a
proposed attempt' to liberate south
ern soldiers held as prisoners of war
in that vicinity.- He was taken in
civilian clothing, using an assumed
name, and his friends feared he would
be condemned to death as a spy.
They appealed to President Lincoln
and he being put into possession of
all tne tacts in the case, gave to Judge
S. M; Breckenridge of St . Louis,
through whom the appeal was made,
a letter forbidding the execution of
Castleman, in the event he was sen
tenced to death (by , court-martial.
This letuv written . November 29,
loot, was not to re usea unless a
sentence of death was passed against
Castleman, and unless such an emer-
Kcuty uiu arise uic'iaci mat it naa
been written, was to be kept secret.
Castleman was released on parole at
the close of the war. . - . .,. ,
Former Governor Folk was fol
lowed by Senator John Sharp Vil
liams, who, like General Castleman,
was a confederate soldier. Senator
Williams took as his subject. "Abra
ham Lincoln and the South."
The presentation of the deed of gift
to the Lincoln homestead was to be
made by Robert J. Collier of New
York. Secretary of War Baker was,
on the program to make the speech
of acceptances
The final address in connection
with the ceremonies was made by
President Wilson, who followed Sec
retary Baker..
History of Monument.
Early in 1906 Robert J. Collier
learned that the farm upon which
Abraham Lincoln was born was about
to be sold at auction to satisfy claims
against the estate of A. W. Dennett,
a Mew York restaurant owner, in
whose possession it had been for
several years. According to the in
formation reaching him several per
sons, among them a man with big
distilling interests, were anxious to
obtain possession of the place, in-
lending to use it in exploiting their
wares.
He at once sent Richard Lloyd
Jones to Kentucky to acquire title to
the property, if possible. Mr. Jones
on his arrival found the estate still
involved irr" court procedure and left,
first arranging with local attorneys
to notify him when the case was
finally adjudicated.
In August of the same year came
word that the farm had been ordered
sold at the courthouse door of Larue

Colorado Springs, Colo, Sept. 4,
The collapse of a portion of the
bleacher seats at the Welsh-Whiti
lightweight championship fight today
precipitated 200 spectators to the
ground and injured at least 100, sev
eral seriously. At various hospitals
here tonight it was stated that all o
the sixty persons taken there imme
diately after the accident would src
cover. Many later Were released af
ter having their injuries dressed. The
crash came before the larger part ol
the crowd had arrived. Policemen
aided by members of the fire depart
ment and special officers, quickly
placed the injured in automobiles and
comparatively little confusion resulted
anq the boxing program was not de
layed. ' , .
Says Inspection Made.
Announcement was made from the
ring side that the stands had been
carefully inspected before the crowd
was admitted and that no reason could
be ascribed for the collapse of the
seats. D. G. Johnson, commissioner
ot public safety, however, said that
so tar as he knew no inspection had
been made by the city engineer s of
fice and he added that a thorough in
vestigation would be made in an effort
to fix the responsibility:

Says Mr. Norris
Spokane, Wash, Sept. 4. Commis
sioner Georire W. Norris of the fed
eral land hank board, who, with other
memoers, opened a hearing here to
day, said, that .in the .6.000 .miles the
board had traveled it was found that
the farmers in at least thirteen states
were eager to avail themselves of the
provisions of the land loan act
' Montana farmers, it had been as
certained, he said, were paying higher
interest rates man tne farmers ot any
other state. Witnesses at Helena,
where the board sat until late Satur
day night, testified that the installs
tion of a loan bank in that section
would mean the salvation of the farm
ers, who face ruin because they are

irom w to is per cent on money
borrowed to promote their agricul-
ti rai interests. . ,

Fragrance of Memories.
My Dear Marjorie: And now
evening comes on, dear, and the shad

the two beautiful days in our hearts,
and the dreams and the lasting fra
grance of memories of you.
"It seems that when vour touch is
on my arm such balm of mind and
perfect happiness exists, and I always
icarc mi my visits as lAOUgn 1 had
been in a trance and keep trying to
refresh my memory to see if it's only
been a dream, or if it's all real. Our

don't you really' say we were happy
as kiddies and the movies and the
drive all so hearts that throb in sym

love interest for each other, that'all

"So, yes, we understand each other,
and our phone calls just little- whis

eacn other, and so interested in each
other's every move and action, our
sweet farewell only a bon voyage.
Fond Touch of Lips. ;
"Our fond embrace and touch ot
lips. And that, too, shows our hearts
are still very warm. And now, my

to God for his safe keeping of my

CAUGHT AFTER GUN FIGHT
"That's the man who robbed the
Farmers' State bank of Florence' re
marked " Harry Day wait,- chauffeur,
who drove the car in which the bandit
accomplished the robbery and made
his escape. ' i' .
This assertion of identity was made
to Chief of Detectives Maloney of
the Omaha police department, in his
office at headquarters' late Sunday
afternoon, when a picture of Edward
von Walden, alias Jack Evans, was
shown Day wait.' " .:-
Von Walden is under arrest in San
Francisco for the robbery of the An
glo-California Trust company branch
bank, whi:h he robbed of $8,000 on
Wednesday,' August '30: " The Flor
ence bank was visited August 5 by a
bandit who succeeded in making way
with over $1,000' in a daring daylight
holdup at the noon hour, -
The man whose picture was iden
tified by Day wait was arrested, in
San Francisco a few minutes after his
ttemoted holdup there. He entered
the bank, held it up at the point of a
gun, dumped $8,000 from the tellers'
trays into his pockets and escaped in
taxicao atter a gun Dattie witn tne
police. Twenty minutes later he was
run to eartn in liolden uate park
and captured.
Von Walden confessed to the San
Francisco robbery; also that he had
escaped froriva reformatory at Ionia,
Alien., wnere ne was serving a sen
tence for an attempt to hold up the
Hotel Metropole in Detroit. This
statement tallies with information giv

Von Walden tor a week was engaged
in legitimate business --in Los An

straight living.

"I failed and am ready to take mv

trouble my family. Mv father is a
physician in Cincinnati. I tried to
make good, but 1 couldn t see any
way out without money, it 1 could
have got away I hoped to return what
had taken when 1 got a start.
Von Walden staged his recent es
capade with all the spectacular fea
tures of a moving-picture scenario; in
tact almost exactly like that ot the
Florence robbebry. He walked coollv
into the bank among many depositors,
thrust a revolver through the teller's
window and demanded the cash,
which he thrust by handfuls into his
pockets and made his getaway in a
rented taxicah,
The teller followed in another ma

The . last letter, written to Miss

Ross Dines, who is being sued by
the former for $30,000 in a breach of
Sromise suit, has been given out by
liss Grove.
Miss Grove is living at the home of
her sister, Mrs. W. S. Stanton, 5016
Burt street.
Prof. Dines is at Dartmouth col
lege. He was formerly connected
with the mathematics department at
Northwestern university. , '
The missive is as follows:
"Chicago, April 19, 1915. To My
Dear: Needless to say I was surprised
and yet glad to see the letter 'in the
familiar handwriting, as I had thought
after the way I had acted you would
care to have nothing to do with me. I
knew that I owe you an explanation
and if such a thing could help in the
matter which touches us both , so
deeply, an apology, but I acted as I
thought right under the circum
stances. "I will begin by saying.' yX, in it all.
I acted more with the thought of
what was best for you than of any
thing else. I had kept you waiting for
five long years, years which seemed
longer to me than to you, I am sure,
and yet happy years in the anticipa
tion of the outcome. Imagine, then,
the sad blasting of my hopes when I
found that with it all this outcome
was seemingly as far in the distance
as ever, ,
-' "I , found, to speak quite plainly,
that the salary which I should re
ceive as teacher for some years was
barely enough to keep : myself on,
witnout prospects ot saving anything.
How foolish, then, for me .to attempt
anything further than this. And what
was the fair thing for me to do to
you? If I told you of it I 'was sure
you1 would laugh at me and, in the
generosity of your nature, tell mc
that this made no difference, whereas
I knew that it would wreck our hap
piness ior an time. r,.,
"And so I thought the best thing to
do was just to break off everything,
as you. know I had thought of doing
before. I thought it would be hard
for us both, but better: much better
than the other way. And I have been
living here with' the thought of real
happiness placed far in the distant
future, if at all. I hope you will for
give me and try to see my side of it
a little in thinking of you.
"As to any favors you may ask of
me, I think you know that anything
I can do that you want me to do I
shall be glad to do: I am sorry that I
cannot come out to Omaha as you
suggest, and I cannot see that much
good could comeN of it except a re
newal of the heartaches that I felt
when I treated you as I did. ' '
Thank you for writing me as you
did. Please, Dickie, try to think as
well of me as you can, and believe
me ever. ' ,
