MIXEOLA, N. V., Aiiir. . Mr.
Binncn Errnziiriz lie Similes will not
be without friends when she is called
for triiil for tho murder of her for
mer husbnml, John Longer Do Saul
les, lust Friday niejit.
Relatives in Valparaiso, it was
learned today, were not only ready to
did her in the forthcoming triul, hut
were planning to obtain permanent
custody for hor of her four and a
hnlf-year-old son, John Longer De
Sunlles, Jr. '
It was beeouso of Mrs. De Saulles'
devotion to hcr son and also the fear
that the husband sbe hud divorced on
the ground of infidelity was planning
to keep the child from her, that she
lulled him, according to her attorney.
Following the statement given out
by Henry A. Uterhnrdt, Sirs'. )e
Saulles' lawyer, that Mr. De Saulles
was a fortune hunter, whose love
cooled after ho had used about half
of his wife's fortune, G. M. llcekshor,
a cousin of the murdered man, today
made public a copy of n recent let
ter which he said De Saulles had
written his wife.
The letter, which was dated June
ilO, speaks of tho good tho country
life had done for the child and sug
gests that he lie allowed to remain at
the cottage' Mr. De Saulles occupied.
The letter also offered Mrs. De
Saulles the use of a servant to take
care of the child, should ho remain
at his father's home, and said that
lie would be ready to bo taken away
by his mother nt the tune appointed
by the court.
When the onso o Mrs. Do Saulles
is called for trial, according to state
ments of her attorney, Mr. Do Saulles
will be pictured ns n man who had
had his infidelities forgiven many
times by his wife, because of her dc
45ftion for the child. It was also
learned the defense would attempt to
show that tho murder was not pre
meditated, but that Mrs. De Saulles
carried the revolver, n gift of her
husband, for her own protection.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. fi. The
California field artillery, now organ
izing, wants a grizzly bear for n
mascot. It detailed n man to catch
or buy one, und ho has reported thai
the only grizzly bear lie could find

state seal.
Officers of tho Grizzlies gave out
this statement today, and supple
mented it by asking that any one who
has an extra grizzly hear on hand
will kindly cominitnicato with them
'at Sun Francisco. Tho bear scoul
reported he could find plenty of
other varieties of hear, but no griz
zly. He is extending his search, the
officers reported, into the wilds of
the northwest, but in the meantime,
if California can produce a home
grown grizzly, the soldiers prefer
such a one to fin imported specimen.
The soldiers expect to go to France
soon and want a mascot to ncconi
pany them.

CALLED TO COLORS
ILL CARED FOR
ASHLAND, Aug. (I. Never before
in military history have the comforts
of the soldier boys been looked after
with more complete supervision than
during tho present emergency. ' Mis
takes which prevailed during the
Spanish war havo been provided
against, with the result that 'govern
ment, state, county and , municipal
efforts vie witli each other in sup
plying every requisite. Add to these
tho loving remembrances afforded by
the individual conation und the ser
vice would seem to be well nigh com
plete. In reserve there yet remains
the Red Cross, flonof Guard Girls
and Army Y. M. 0. A. units us addi
tional factors inelicf and personal
comfort work.

for instance, nnd for that matter all
tho regimental units linvo been re
membered in like generous measure.
Supplementing government equipment
the average soldier was provided,
either by organization or relatives
nnd friends, with razor, strop, and
mug, kerchief and towels, tooth
brushes, toothpicks and without in
vading the beauty parlor, various in
dispensable toilet accessories were
added to the kit, us supplied by lov
ing friends ut home, all being "hous
ed" in roomy, comfort bags. If any
of the boys have been neglected in
this respect, "first aid" will be speed
ily rendered upon making tho omis
sion known.
Supplementing tho army ration,
supplies are to be sent from home,
including the substantial and a fair
share of delicacies. Meetings have
been recently held here with this ob
ject in view, nnd the result is that the
work will be conducted along syste
matic lines, the extra rations from
home to be sent to 1 lie camps nt stat
ed intervals, not ill quantities to glut
the military commissariat but in
measure to afford a welcome depar
ture occasionally from uccustomcd
