CITY AND CENTRAL

This is the story of a child who was murdered because he retur- ed to tell a lie - murdered when only 8-year-old by his foster par- ents. 103 years ago at Montello. Wisconsin. The residents of the lit- tle town never forgot the valiant lad who stuck to the truth though it cost him his life.

Declaring a truth day. Montello folk gathered last June in a cold rain at the isolated ceremtery where the remains of the 8-year- old boy lie buried. In the nearby Greenwood church, 150 persons as- aemblad to witness the dedication or s six-toot granite slab in mem-

cry of Emmanuel Danna. the youth who was put to death tor telling the truth. Outside. standing bar beaded in the rain and sitting in automobiles. 2350 other persons listened to the program on loud- speakers.

Emmanudl was born in England in 1613. but his parents brought him to the U. S. A. in 1815. Three years later he was an orphan in the public poor house. The boy was taken out for a few days at it time by an uncle, who soon died. One day the orphan drew the at- tention of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Norton. who adopted him in 1851. They took him to their crude shack in Montello. Court records reveal that the Nurtons went to prison for seven years for beating the little boy to death "with stout switches."

So that's why 2.500 persons gath- ered in the rain to pay tribute to it mere child who was beaten to death 103 years ago.

The strange story of the Haunted Tree was told y German traveler. Hugo Boltze. W o lived lor several years in Africa during the latter part or the ltlth century.

Here is Mr. Boltze's startling story:

"During my time in Koltve. East Africa. a report was brought to the government that a certain tree had the dreadful property of pro- voking the homicidal impulse in

aral aoldlere were seat in pursuit. and then one who proiaaaad ab- solute incredultty concerning the strange tale. out of sheer bravado. went and touched the trunk of the haunted tree. No sooner had he done so than he too went crazy and. after which in a Ioaming fury. he also tried to escape into the jungle. Being hotly pursued. he kept up his gunfire and it was only after he had fired his last charge that he could be captured and executed.

"I do not know how mnay un- fortunstes in all died as a' result of coming in contact with this tree of crime. but certainly it was a considerable number. The govern- ment at last put an end to these tragedies by causing a great quant- ity of straw and dry tinder to be placed around the tree of evil memories and set on fire. The fuel was replenished until the tree was .destroyed root and branch. After ithat the murders stopped."

in Doonville, Mo.. Mrs. Lens Doyle became a grandmother tour times in less than a week. How did that come about? Well. her daughter. Mary had twins on June 15th and five days later her daugh- ter-in-law added another set of twins to the tamily tree.

anyone who should lay his hand on it or bring any part of his body into contact with it.

A soldier. having touched it. went mad and at once murdered three or four persons by shooting

track and a bin of steel culverts. These items were buried a b o ut four feet down. and when or who put them there is anybody's guess.

”The greatest kindness I re- member in my 68 years of living."

"l was 26 years at age at the time and pennilasa. other neigh- bora ploughed the ground. and one man came with the right amount of seed grain. All the work was done gratis. But I did pay for the seed grain sometime afterward.

All those good neighbors have passed on. and one that I shall ever remember !or his numerous acts of kindness rests in Cornwall Cemetery in your corner of the Island.
