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.

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.

MARSHALL SELLS HIS
MURRY ST. PROPERTY
J. H. MarKs Gets House and
Sixteen Lots For $8,500 From
Lime Dealer
A. A. Marshall, the lime dealer, lias
sold his home and grounds, consisting
of sixteen lots up Murry street, to J.
R. Marks, of the Capital, for $8,5q0.
Mr. Marks says that he bought the
property as an investment and has not
y«t decided what he will do with it,
although it is probable that he w ill
build dwellings upon part of the ground
for rental and sell part of it.
The Marshall home is one of the best

Marshall will probably build a new
home further up Murry street.
Goveyiment Victory in Germany

Berlin, Germany, Jau. 28.—The gov

least eighty seats. More important
for the government that the success of

Childless Marriages Breed Contempt
Between Husbands ar.d Wives—
Result cf Psychotogi *) Stody
of Problem of Seperation
Chicago, Jan. 22.—The childless mar
1 1‘iage breeds eontempL between hus
band and wife and is one of the most
pci lific cav fi i- ('■ ,-i'r, e, according
t statistic!) computed by Judge Wil
lard McEwan, \ bo I',- nore tales of
domestic vi o.]o:' i: , : th than do all
ho other judjc •• of t , rior court
combined. 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.
Funeral of Alex. C. Morrison
Fundral- services were held at Ely
Hall yesterday afternoon over the re
mains of Alex. C. Morrison, who died
