Id BROTHER 'S TiLE
Reveals Details of Infants Death
to Decew; Father Accused
Him of Wilful Crime.
After having been accused for a year,
by his father, of wilfully strangling his
infant brother to death when he was
guilty only of negligence, Reindeer Coff
man, 15-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.
W. 11. E. Coffman of near Conrad, has
revealed to Humane Officer A. E. I)e
Cew the circumstances under which, he
declares, the baby met its death and also
his reason for remaining silent despite
his father's suspicions. It was not un
til after an extended effort had been
made that he was induced to tell his
story, but when it was finished Mr. De
cew was convinced that he had told the
truth. He had remained silent before,
he said, bfi*ause he believed the puuish
ment he would receive for having ne
glected the child would be worse than he
had already received as its suspected
slayer.
Hung on a Nail.
The boy told Mr. Decew he had been
left in (charge of the infant, and laid
it on the bed unattended when he be
came tired of his duties. At the foot
of the bed, on the floor, was sitting a
drygoods box, with nails protruding
from the rim. and when lie returned to
his charge the infant had rolled off
the bed, \oatching the collar of its dress
on a nail and dying of strangulation.
The baby gasped once or twice after the
boy returned, but attempts to revive it
were without success.
'T understand that the boy. Hein
deer, was whipped terribly by his father
because of the suspicion that he strangl
ed the baby, and he refused to tell the
truth because he feared be would be
whipped even worse for having neglected
it. I was a long time getting his story,
but I believe he told the truth when he
finally decided to take me into his con
fidence."
To Industrial School.
Mr. Decew was called to the home to
investigate a petition for the boy's com
mitment to the industrial school, but
which had nothing to do with suspicions
growing out of the baby's death. He
had attempted to run away, it seems,
Decew thought that the youngster's op
portunities would be better in the school
than at his home and obtained an order
for his commitment. Another of the
Coffman boys ran away some time ago
and is now serving in the navy.

Reindeer Real Name.
The boy's unusual name (caused Mr. ;
Decew to make inquiries as to its gen- :
uiness. He found not only that Rein- j
deer was called by his correct name j
but that there was a still more unusual j
name in the family. Reindeer has a j
brother named Rainbow.

LOUISE GLAUM ,
in THE
LONE WOLFS DAUGHTER
A tremendous drama and melodrama combined; a
story embracing the characters, the thrills, the over
powering grip and fascination of "The Lone Wolf"
and "False Faces."
The wily, all-knowing, all-seeing Lone Wolf him
self.
A crafty, desperate and overwhelmingly ingenious
enemy and rival opponents always at each other's
throats.
A drama enacted from the interior splendors of
Buckingham Palace to the mysteriaus depths of Lon
don's "Limehouse."
And a new fascinating, beautiful girl—the Lone
Wolf's daughter.
A famed crook's daughter redeemed by acts of
inconceivable courage and loyalty.
Gowns that, in richness and beauty, will establish
the new fashions of tho seasons for millions of
women who see this production.
A production even richer in color, in setting and
in scenio splendors than J Parker Read Jr.'s other
world-famed Louise Glaum success, "Sahara."
