MYSTERY IN SHOOTING OF NEW YORK DOCTOR Puzzling Case of Physician Who Was Mortally Wounded in His Own Home by Unknown Special To The News New York, Jan. 27.—The police are puzzled over the case of Dr. Charles W. Townsend, a well-known Staten Island physician, who was shot down and probably fatally wounded in his own home. The case is surrounded with mystery. From the meagre de tails that have been permitted to leak out by the officials who are investigat ing the case, it is believed that the doctor was the victim of a man who sought vengeance for some fancied wrong and that the shooting was not done by a burglar. This theory is borne out by the fact that nothin ; was stolen from the house. DISDAINING HOSPITAL HE SLEEPS IN OPEN SHED A laborer, who walked t o the McGill smelter site and froze hi i-t on the way, was sent back to .. by Dr. Abbott.

He then crawled into the roofless, finished building back of the Nova. Northern passenger station, where h passed the night, huddled under tw< quilts, Dr. E. L. R. Wallace, hearing where he had gone, went to see him, hut the man haughtily refused to accept medi cal attention. Later, Dr. Lew Wallace visited the hermit. He, too, could not persuade the man to accept attention. He persisted in his investigation, how ever, until he satisfied himself that the man’s condition was not at all serious. Tne eccentric fellow was still in the unfinished building last night. O’BRIEN HERE TO LOOK AFTER MINING INTERESTS William N.

Since tic h of the late Judge Cary, Ji. go I Ewan has had 1 an opportunit; to nmi i t yehc logical study of the c;c< roe ; Idem, and he hears an average of - v suits for legal seperation each i- uh. Figures compiled by the jurist shov s that out of 200 upplieati sis for decrees which were presented since November 15, in 125 cases conjugal unhappiness was the outcome of a childless home. A table kept liy Judge McEwan dur ing the last two months .-flows the fol lowing to be the causes for the decrees which he has granted to the 200 per sons who have appeared before him: No children and drunkenness.115 No children and cruelty. 10 Another woman and desertion. 25 Another man and desertion. 10 Religious conflict. 9 i Jealousy. 11 Lazy husband. 15 Dubious past. 5 The list shows also that of 200 com plainants more than 60 per cent were women, but the judge explains that this does not indicate that the man is usually the offender. When for one reason or another a husband and wife separate, he says, the husband will ! usually allow his wife to get the di vorce, and in these cases the charge as a general rule is based on desertion. Incompatibility of temper, JuegeMc Ewen declares, is a misnomer. "There is no such thing,” he says, “and whsn this explanation is given it is safe to say there is another woman or another man in the case.” The subject of ages is also gone into by Judge McEwan in his investigation, and the figures kept by him show that persons between thirty and forty years of age are more likely to seek divorces ‘ than are those who are older or others : who have not reached the age of thirty years. Taking the 2C0 cases upon which the : figures are computed, the judge finds that more than two-thirds of the com- j plainants and defendants in those suits j were between thirty and forty years j old. Ages of the others ranged be- i tween twenty-five and thirty y**rs, and there were very few who had passed the forty mark to seek a dlsso- 1 lution of marital bonds. "The most difficult period in married life,” said Judge McEwen, "is the first twelve months after the ceremony. Two-thirds of the persona who appeal I to the courts for legal separation, the records will show, have lived together j for less than three years, The first; [ year is the moc-t trying period, for as a i | g neral rule neither the husband nor the wife finds it an or.: matter to adapt himself i.r herself to the other.

ELY UP TO DATE ^ (Contributed by a Tenderfoot) A newcomer in Ely of course ex , pects to find many things and go up •gftinst several features of mining camp life that are the same as experi enced in every camp of a like nature in the country. But for some reason or other it always seems that they do not take this place for what it is really worth and what tney are later convinced it is going to do. In the first place the Easterner comes here convinced, or rather with a pre conceived idea that Ely is a new spot on the map and that someono came along here a few short months ago and found that there was mineral in the ground and consequently caused a boom. Right here is where the first surprise comes and when it gradually begins to dawn on the visitor’s mind, as a result of talks with old-timers, that Ely and its mineral resources are not a newly discovered thing; that it has been known for years that there were vast deposits of copper ore in the district and that all that was needed were men with capital to invest to develop the immense ore bodies. About this time the newcomer winders why he didn’t come sooner, or at least didn’t hear something about the place. No matter what were his earlier im pressions of the camp and its possi bilities, a man with common sense can not fail to see, and for that matter also hear, that Ely is destined to be come a city—not a little, measly, strug gling city, that gains its only right to the title because it was incorporated as such, but a city with a vast army of workingmen, business men and pro fessional men, who will all draw then various incomes from the mineral re rources of the district. This idea of a large, permanent metropolis is further strengthened by the optimistic talk with which a new comer is greeted on every side It is impossible for a man to be in the camp a week and hear the resonant whack of any man’s hammer. That is one thing that seems to have been left out of the make-up of Ely's population “the knockers. ’’ Everybody seems to have made money; and furthermore—and that is where they catch the newcomer begin to tell about how many thousands more they are going to make in the next thirty, sixty or ninety days. Naturally, as every one that comes here doesn’t come for the sake of the scenic beauties of Ely or for that delightful trip from Cobre down, but rather for the purpose of gathering in a good measure of the “root of all evil,” this optimism has its effect. No one would have the presumption to say that Ely is a beau tiful spot, or possessed a real moral tone, or in fact administered in any way to the cultivation of the a-sthetic side of mankind’s existence, but as for all that it would take a good long search throughout the length and breadth of the United States to find a mining camp that is as nicely situated and as weil conducted as this same town, of Ely, and as to what it will be when sewer systems and waterwork systems, and street railways, and city hospitals and all those public institutions that go in the makeup of a modern city are installed, anyone can surmise. Another feature that strikes the visitor from the east as peculiar about Ely is the fact that although it is an old town.it has never incorporated as a municipality. Incorporation is now under way in tne State Legislature, yet there are those who are opposed to the project because taxes will be higher : and nothing may come of the scheme ■ until next year, they tell me. All in all a newcomer is impressed ; with the possibilities of the can p to a | degree that makes the minutes seem ! like days until he has made some in vestment in the camp and stands a chance to win, as everybody else seems ! to be doing.
