The Wertheimer Portraits

A retexture by La Comtesse Zouboff — Original Mesh by @thejim07

The Wertheimer portraits are a series of twelve portrait paintings made by John Singer Sargent of and for the British art dealer Asher Wertheimer and his family. The series amounts to Sargent's largest private commission.

The family became close friends of the artist John Singer Sargent. He often dined at their home at 8 Connaught Place, where the dining room (sometimes described as "Sargent's mess" ) was decorated with eight of the family portraits. Mr and Mrs Wertheimer commissioned Singer Sargent to paint two portraits to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary in 1898, and ten more commissions followed in the next decade. Most of the portraits hang in the Tate Museum in London, after Wertheimer's death in 1918. The donation was an scandal, as some antisemitic comments emerged, such as that of the historian Sir Charles Oman: "these clever, but extremely repulsive, pictures should be placed in a special chamber of horrors".

The bequest and wish for the portraits to be displayed together was seen as a distasteful display of wealth with opponents claiming it was Jewish excess and asking “Is there any other gallery that has been given so many paintings?

Since the paintings would hang among royalty, clergy and historical figures, to have a room dedicated to one family deemed outside the British establishment was so controversial that it was debated in Parliament.

Nowadays, the portraits are regarded as masterpieces, and most of the antisemitic comments remained in the past, but some critics have thought that the paintings "exudes caricature-like features and projected racial stereotypes onto the sitters" although the family was perfectly happy with them (of course this wouldn't have been issue if the family belonged to catholicism or other western-predominant religion)

This set contains 12 portraits, with the original frame swatches, fully recolourable. They are of:

Elizabeth "Betty" Wertheimer, Mrs. Euston Abraham Salaman (oval shape)

Flora Wertheimer (née Joseph) Mrs. Asher Wertheimer

Helena "Ena" Wertheimer, Mrs. Robert Moritz Mathias, "A Vele Gonfle"

Madame Asher Wertheimer (née Flora Joseph) (another portrait of Flora)

Miss Almina Wertheimer in Turquerie Costume.

Mr. Alfred Wertheimer

Edward Wertheimer (unfinished)

Asher Wertheimer with his Poodle, Noble.

The Tethered (Us) "They are exact copies of each person - except for anything that makes them human. Everything they do is a parody, twisted mirror version of everyday life. They bask on the uncanny valley fear they create on their upworld counterparts. They are someone you should recognize, but you don't, and they have the explicit intent to harm. Oh, they are also introduced in a fair in a hall of mirrors."

Peter Nureyev (The Penumbra Podcast) "Peter Nureyev is a master thief, but his main skill is disguise. He completely hides his identity and switches between characters very often. You might know him as Agent Rex Glass, Duke Rose, Petya or Peter Ransom, Mr Dauphin, or who knows what else. Or should I say who else? Only a few select people know who he actually is, and he’s still mysterious even to them. He also is very good at disappearing from situations without a trace, although not supernaturally (i’m 95.7% sure)"

Chapter 7 and 8

Hi-! This batch is mostly comprised of theories. And it's a long one, so take as much time as you need!

A word of warning. Some of the theories are so out of context that it ACTUALLY makes sense. In a way.

1.) What is Mars', Jupiter', and Trocar's history post-LSOTP?

What happened to their mother in particular?

(I have a theory on Question 6.)

I have a feeling that perhaps Mars, Jupiter, and their father were victims of the Seige of Coronet.

A theory of mine. Though, perhaps there were other areas in Calcian Territory that were also victims of the 'enemy'.

Since you said that Old Sentry was the first that had fallen, I had assumed more would follow.

2.) He wanted to drive home the only reason he signed the contract was so Papyrus could finally live the life he deserved.

Where did they live before they were drafted?

Did the love interests live in a township together or are they spread out into various areas of Calcian Territory?

3.) Quick question.

Is Fonston and St. Calibri seperate townships or is Fonston simply a town in the Municipality of St. Calibri?

4.) ”And who and where is your wife?”

”Dusted quite some time ago. Her name was Lilith Marigold.”

Her eyes widened and her demeanor seemed to change.

”My apologies. Your wife was a hero amongst heroes.”

This was a scene in Chapter 6. One that's been nagging at the back of my mind during my absence.

With what Mrs. Courier just stated. It means that the Institute realized and acknowledged that Lilith was a part of the military, and is considered a hero amongst heroes.

Surely other hens might be inspired to do the same as what Lilith had done if Mrs. Courier acknowledges this.

Also, I have a feeling that THIS is connected to the Gasters and the favor Cobalt owed. The implications of this one interaction is uncanny.

To reveal a hen in the military comprised of multiple sires (what a scandal-!) And somehow not get as much backlash (aside from the thing with Goudy and him reporting Lilith to the Institute) from the Institute...

I can only theorize that the Gasters MIGHT have lessened the blow. Perhaps with their rank, they managed to influenced a decision that is less detrimental to Lilith.

Instead of having been killed or mated with a stranger, they instead gave chose to give her to Cobalt....?

Only you can confirm.

5.) Ayo. I feel bad for Bubblegum.

Talk about brainwashing. Also, what's with this supposed 'scorring'?

"I bet I could get a perfect score with a trial whelp!” - Bubblegum

6.) I swear, if I didn't know any better (and I don't aside from the canon statements where magic in LSOTP is shit), I'd say Madame is Jupiter' and Mars' mother and Trocar's late hen.

I have things to back this claim, I swear-!

7.) 👀 I have my eyes on Madame as the head of the Institute.

Judging by the way she acts and the way she brandishes whelps as her own...

I'd say she most likely went from Mrs. Adiline Courier's case worker to Head (or at least a Board Member) of the Institute.

8.) 'The Elevator' proves my hypothesis that yes, the Institute DOES strap hens onto a gurney to be repeated raped.

9.) Ethel and Adiline are lesbians.

Change my mind.

10.) 'DAUPHIN'

*New area acquired*

The residents of this third-world country are Calcians.... Riiiiiight....? 👀

11.) ”She isn’t shit to me! She’ll never replace her! She ain’t good enough-“ - Sans

Don't mind me. I'm just brain storming ideas as to who his late lover was.

Definitely not me trying to make some sort of plot. Nope.

Nope I'm good.

That's all for Chapter 7 and 8. I hope I didn't drain your brain juice with my incessant questioning.

Bye! Take care! (⁠*⁠˘⁠︶⁠˘⁠*⁠)⁠.⁠｡⁠*⁠♡

A lot of this I actually can’t elaborate on. So I’ll go through what I can.

(3) St. Calibri is a big city. It’s about ~50 miles away from Fonston. In between the towns, farm fields stretch for miles. They’re the nearest towns to eachother.

(4) Lilith was registered as missing by her father which lead to a through investigation by the institute. It was found out a lot too late about the abuse the golden gals went through. The institute praised her for being smart enough to leave and still carrying out her hen duties while enlisted. (She got pregnant with Jett and that’s why they settled on base in Old Centry.) They used her image as a cover girl for how a good hen should be.

(5) Its exactly like a score on a test. They grade the girls based on how fast and efficient they are with those sort of tasks. (Though really if they aren’t perfect, it’s not good enough. ‘Perfect things do not have dust on them, ladies!’ So they use fear tactics to drill everything home.

(6) I do feel comfortable debunking this. This isn’t the case here.

(7) Madame is a powerful woman.

(8) The institute is a horrid place. Honestly death would be better than that place for men and women alike.

(9) They are. Yes. Adiline’s feelings for Ethel outshine and cast a dark shadow on anything she could feel for Mr. Courier. It’s her pent up emotions and anger that causes her to lash out and be cruel to him. It’s not right at all, but to say she hates him is an understatement. In her opinion the best thing he ever gave her was her children that she never got to keep.

(10) I can’t say on this one.

(11) His past hen is most certainly a sore spot for him. Though I can’t say anything more on that. We’ll get some context soon.

Kelly Morse, 32 (USA 1996)

Kelly Morse was 32 years old when she found out she was 8 weeks pregnant. At 8 weeks and 5 days pregnant, she went with her husband Scott to Hillcrest Women’s Medical Center in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Despite the name, Hillcrest was just an abortion facility and would provide no medical care to her.

Kelly had allergies and asthma. She made sure to notify the staff at the abortion facility that she was severely allergic to Lidocaine and other medications ending in “caine”. Her allergies were highly dangerous, but easily avoided by simply not using the medicine she was allergic to.

Despite Kelly’s warning, Delhi Elmore Thweatt, Jr. administered 12 cc’s of 1 percent Lidocaine to Kelly. The effect was immediate.

Kelly couldn’t breathe and started turning blue. A licensed practical nurse got Kelly’s inhaler out of her purse and helped her use it, but Kelly told her that it was not helping. She was very agitated and struggling to breathe.

Instead of immediately calling, the abortionist proceeded with the abortion, rushing through it in about four minutes. Then he spent some time trying to administer incorrect measures to a dying Kelly before finally bothering to call an ambulance. Kelly needed medical treatment, but the abortionist killed her baby and watched her turn blue instead of helping her.

While all this was happening, Scott was waiting outside for his beloved wife, wondering what was taking so long. Before anyone at Hillcrest even told him about Kelly’s condition, paramedics arrived. He went inside with the ambulance crew to see what was happening. To his horror, Kelly was naked and blue-black from lack of oxygen, lying on a table that was halfway out of the examination room into the hallway.

The paramedics intubated Kelly, properly administered medicine, and performed CPR as they brought her to the Polyclinic Medical Center, where she was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit. The abortion was done on June 19, 1996. Kelly died on June 22 after a few days of barely clinging to life in the ICU.

Scott sued Hillcrest for killing Kelly. Here are some quotes from the lawsuit:

“As Mrs. Morse’s dyspnea and cyanosis continued to worsen, Defendant Thweatt improperly administered Epinephrine subcutaneously instead of intravenously….” (This measure would do nothing to assist a patient in Kelly’s extremely severe condition.)

“No one started an IV. No respiration rate was recorded, no pulse was checked and no blood pressure was measured. No EKG was applied. No cardiac monitoring was conducted. No pulse oximeter was applied. No intubation or emergency tracheotomy was performed. No oxygen was administered. Kelly continued to agitate in fear, desperately gasping for air, and remained blue in color. Defendant Thweatt just stood there with a stethoscope in hand and listened to Kelly’s breathing and wheezing progressively worsen.”

“As Plaintiff choked and gasped for air, none of the Defendants, took steps to immediately dispatch an ambulance. In fact, the ambulance was not summoned until 11:24 a.m., or 10 minutes after Plaintiff violently choked, gasped, wheezed, and discolored to a blue-black appearance from respiratory arrest and hypoxia.”

It was also discovered that even though Hillcrest advertised Thweatt as being a Board-certified OB/GYN, “Defendant Thweatt failed the OB/GYN Board certification examination not once, not twice, but on three consecutive attempts…Defendant Thweatt failed his Board certification exam even after a fourth attempt, following his deposition of July 27, 1997.”

On April 20, 1999, Thweatt and Hillcrest settled out of court with Scott. No amount of money could give his surviving son and daughter their mother and sibling back.

Even while Kelly was scared and dying because of the abortion facility’s lethal malpractice, the abortionist killed her baby instead of immediately calling for help. Kelly’s health and safety was clearly not important to Hillcrest.

Jeanne d'Arc écoutant les voix by Eugène Carrière (1899)

At Poitiers they lodged her in the house of one Jean Rabateau, qui avoit espouse une bonne femme. The Rabateaux had a little oratory in their house, to which Jeanne would often retire in prayer. But in spite of the gravity of her frequent prayers, she was in a gay and high-spirited mood, rising rapidly with the rising wave. Since leaving Domremy, she had certainly met with checks and delays: she had met with no definite reverse. She had convinced the Dauphin; she had no reason to believe that she would not equally succeed in convincing the doctors at Poitiers. Her replies to them were racy and almost cheeky. "I see you have come to ask me questions," she said to them; "I know neither A nor B." And, meeting a young man called Gobert Thibault, she clapped him on the shoulder, saying that she wished she had several men of such goodwill as he — a remark which drew from Mr. Andrew Lang the surprising comment that "her ways were those of a clean honest public-school boy." She was full of hope and thought she had nothing to fear.

—Vita Sackville-West, Saint Joan of Arc

Ernest Thesiger

(15 January 1879 – 14 January 1961) as Dr. Septimus Pretorious.

Thesiger was a British stage and film actor. His early ambition was to be a painter, but after serving and being wounded in World War I, increasingly traveled in literary and theatrical circles. George Bernard Shaw wrote the role of The Dauphine for him in the play “Saint Joan”.

Thesiger made his film debut in 1916, and appeared in several silent films. He befriended director James Whale, who was hired to direct the screen adaptation of J. B. Priestley's novel Benighted as “The Old Dark House” (1932), starring Charles Laughton in his first American film, together with top-billed Boris Karloff, Melvyn Douglas, Gloria Stuart, Raymond Massey and Lillian Bond. Whale immediately cast Thesiger in the film as Horace Femm, launching his Hollywood career. The following year Thesiger appeared (as a Scottish butler) with Karloff in a British film, “The Ghoul”.

When Whale agreed to direct Bride of Frankenstein in 1935, he insisted on casting Thesiger as Dr. Septimus Pretorius, instead of the studio's choice of Claude Rains.

Thesiger made several appearances on Broadway, notably as Jacques to Katharine Hepburn's Rosalind in the longest-running production of “As You Like It” ever produced on Broadway. Later films included “The Horse's Mouth” (1958) with Alec Guinness, “Sons and Lovers” (1960), and “The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone”, with Vivien Leigh and Warren Beatty (1961). That same year he made his final stage appearance—a mere week before his death—in “The Last Joke” with John Gielgud and Ralph Richardson.

In 1960, Thesiger was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE). His last film appearance was a small role in “The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone” (1961). Shortly after completing it, Thesiger died in his sleep from natural causes on the eve of his 82nd birthday. He is buried in Brompton Cemetery in London.

BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN opened wider in the United States on 20 April 1935, after premiering 19 April, 1935 in San Francisco and in Seattle.

Universal Pictures. Starring Boris Karloff, Colin Clive, Valerie Hobson, Elsa Lanchester, Ernest Thesiger, E. E. Clive, O.P. Heggie, and Una O’Connor.

Directed by James Whale. Screen story by William Hurlbut and John L. Balderson. Screenplay by William Hurlbut. Inspired by the novel “Frankenstein” by Mary Shelly.

Music by Franz Waxman.

Black and White. 75 minutes.

Ivanov Seniors Graduate!

Ivanov Seniors experienced a bittersweet day today, even more so than any usual High School Graduation, as over the celebrations and festivities hung a black cloud of doom.

After the conference officially announcing that the Empire was at war with Windenburg, all foreign students were immediately sent back to their respective countries and families- except for the graduating seniors, who were allowed to stay a few more weeks in order to complete their courses and celebrate this momentous milestone.

Ivanov Graduating Class

Lady Josephine Arrington celebrated her big day with her parents, Princess Natasha and Jamie Arrington, Duke and Duchess Eastmeadow, and her younger brothers, Theodore, Marquess Branmar, and Christopher, Earl Maymour. Lady Josephine will be continuing her education at Britechester University where she plans to major in Ballet Performance, and one day transfer to the Royal Ballet Academy and follow in her parents' footsteps.

Miss Wren Hathaway was joined by her mother, Megan Ivanov, Duchess Arnsey, her step-father, Prince Nickolai Ivanov, her step-sister, Princess Victoria Yang, and her husband, Lord Louis Yang. Miss Hathaway will be joining her friend and cousin, Lady Josephine, at Britechester University, where she will be studying pre-med, in the hopes of also following in her mother's footsteps and one day becoming a pediatrician.

Prince Grant Ivanov proved his naysayers wrong when he walked across the stage with a perfect 4.0 GPA, and celebrated his accomplishment with his father and step-mother, Prince Yuri and Kacie Ivanov, Earl and Countess Thornleigh, and his little sister, Princess Alexandria Ivanov. Prince Grant has chosen to defer his enrollment to Britechester University in favor of volunteering for active military service. When he does return to college, he will be majoring in Criminal Justice Advocacy.

Only a few short months after she had transfered to IRA from a school in Komorebi, Miss Reyna Medieros, the ambassadress' daughter, graduated with top marks despite the chaos of changing schools mid-year. She was joined by her parents, Mr. Ignas and Ambassador Samantha Medieros, as well as her younger brother, Ricardo Medieros. Miss Medieros will be attending Foxbury Institute for her first year of college, and hopes one day to transfer to Mount Komorebi University to continue her studies in Komorebian Culture and Diplomacy.

Crown Princess Claude Pelletier shocked no one when she made Valedictorian- and celebrated this huge accomplishment with her mother, Queen Regent Genevieve, and little brother, King Adam Pelletier. The Queen Regent was heard telling the Dauphine that her father was "there in spirit, and so, so proud." Crown Princess Claude will be joining Lady Josephine and Miss Hathaway at Britechester University, where she plans to double major in Foreign Languages and World History.

His Lordship, Viscount Beckham Landgraab, walked across the stage in front of his parents, Princess Carolin and Soren Landgraab, Duke and Duchess Clovervale, and his older sister, Lady Brianne. The Viscount is choosing to defer his collegiate experience until after the war and instead has volunteered for the Oasis Springs Military Service. After the war, he plans to attend "whatever school Malie ends up at" but wherever he goes, he'd like to study Music Performance.

Princess Malie celebrated her culture by wearing a Sulani Lei as she walked across the stage, in honor of her mother, grandmother, and younger sister who could not be at her graduation. Sulani is one of the island nations in the Southern Sea currently being occupied by Windenburgian Naval Forces. But Malie did not celebrate alone. She was able to be joined by her paternal Aunt and Uncle, Queen Misha and King Cesare Colona, and grandfather, Prince Widower Alfonso Colona, all three of whom currently reside in Glimmerbrooke. Princess Malie will be continuing her education at Britechester University for the duration of the war, then plans to transfer to the Chieftain's International University in Sulani when she's able to. She hopes to double major in Sulani History and Mythology, and Sports Medicine.

Bonus: Friends and S.O.'s

"CONSTABLE LIES AT DEATH'S DOOR," Free Press & Prairie Farmer. January 29, 1913. Page 1 & 4. ---- CHARLES ROOKE OF PROVINCIAL POLICE SHOT BY GALICIAN RESISTING ARREST ---- Shooting Took Place in Settlement 25 Miles From Dauphin - Baran Fired Through Door ---- Dauphin, Man., Jan. 26. Constable Charles Rooke, of the provincial police, lies at the point of death at a farmhouse in the municipality of Gilbert Plains, in the district of Riding Mountain, about 25 miles from here suffering from a bullet wound from the rifle of a Galician named John Baran, whom Rooke was sent from here to arrest for wife desertion.

Rooke left Dauphin this morning, taking a livery team and a driver to arrest John Baran, who has been giving considerable trbl of late. He had deserted his wife, who has been a public charge for years, and is said to have been living with another woman at his arm in the Riding Mountain. A warrant was issued recently for the man's arrest, and an effort was made a few days ago to serve it, but after a terrific fight, constable who was sent out had to return without his man.

Constable Rooke, who is well known as a fearless and efficient officer, was detailed to the case, and started out this morning, accompanied by J. Thompson, driver for a livery firm. The team was left at a neighbor's, a mile from Baran's, while the two men proceeded on foot, expecting thus to be able to make the approach and effect the arrest, without warning the man or giving him a chance to escape to the woods or otherwise elude capture. Rooke and his companion reached the house at about noon today. After carefully approaching the house, the constable rapped on the door, but was told by the woman, who came to the window, that Baran was not at home. Rooke then proceeded to make a forcible entrance, when three shots were fired in rapid succession from a rifle, through the door.

The first shot struck the officer in the left breast over the heart. His companion, Thompson, attempted to assist him to walk back to where the team was left, but after proceeding a short distance, he was compelled to leave the injured man and hasten on for his team. Returning, with the assistance of a neighbor, he conveyed Rooke to the neighbor's house, but had to leave him there as he could not stand the jolting of the cutter. Thompson then proceeded down the moun- tain about nine miles to the home of H. McCorvie, and telephoned from there to Dauphin for medical aid.

Dr. Harrington went immediately to the scene, while a posse, under Chief Bridle set out to capture Baran.

At midnight tonight word was received that Constable Rooke was still living, although in a serious condition. If possible, he will be brought to Dauphin hospital before morning.

Baran is a big man, 45 years of age and is well known as a desperate character. Constable Rooke, 40 years of age, is married and has three children. He is a native of England and was educated at Wellington college. has been in this country about years. The news of the affair was kept from his wife until a definite statement as to his condition had been received, as it was desired not to cause her unnecessary anxiety, Mrs. Rooke being in a bad state of health as the result of a carriage accident in which she was injured a few months ago.

Constable Rooke was placed in the Dauphin General hospital shortly after midnight. Dr. Harrington, who went out and attended to his injury found him in a very critical condition, the bullet having passed through his chest and some out through his left shoulder.

Baran does not seem to realize the position he has placed himself in and has made no attempt to get away. Officers have been sworn in and will leave early in the morning to bring him in to stand his trial.

Rooke Resting Easily. Constable Rooke's condition tonight is favorable, and if complications do not set in he has an excellent chance of recovery. The woman in likely to recover. The bullet entered just above her right breast and did not come out.

Baby Killed, Mother Injured. Dauphin, Man, Jan. 27. - Seeking the Galician, John Baran, in the Galician settlement this morning, the posse headed by Chief Bridley, approaching Baran's house, fired upon. Returning the fire, the police rushed the house only to find wounded woman and a dead baby, and no sign of their quarгу.

The posse had set out early In search of Baran, who, on Sunday afternoon shot and fatally wounded Constable Charles Rooke, a provincial police constable sent to arrest him. The journey to the Galician settlement, which is 20 miles out, was made in fast time, in the hope of catching Baran unprepared, and on arrival at the settlement hurried toward the house pointed out as Baran's.

There being no sign of any one around the house the porze was dis armed, until two shots cracked out, one after the other, Immediately guns were drawn and the fire returned as the posse rushed the dwelling. The door was huried open and the seven mon crowded in, prepared for a fight with the desperate Galeian. instead of Boran, however, they found a wo- man, bleeding badly from a bullet wound above her breast, and near by baby, a little over a year old, shot to death by the fusillade they had poured in.

The woman was hurried into the hospital at Dauphin, but the babe was past aid. A close search was mde for Baran, but no trace of him could be found. Whether he had escaped by a rear entrance after firing the two shots, or whether the stricken woman had fired the opening shots, has not been ascertained.

No figure or face could be seen at any of the windows when the shots were fired, and the woman is too badly hurt to tell a coherent story even if she would, Who the woman is, whether Baran's wife ir not, is not yet known.

Three Posses Are Out. Three posses were organized lastnight by Chief Bridley, and included H. A. Hillevan, E. Torland, P. Crowder, J. W. Evans, J. Fraser and F. May. Commissioning two sleighs the men set out at o'clock this morning. All were armed with rifles and determined to take Baran dead or alive. It was believed that he was still at the settlement, which is 25 miles away, in the Riding Mountains, and was likely to put up a stiff fight. It was this knowledge that led to the volley fired on the house prior to rushing it. No shots came from the house immediately after the return of the posse, so that it is possible that Baran may have tired twice and then, seeing the determined rush, decamped immediately by a rear entrance that by the time the police had got Into the house he had made good his escape into the bush. Two other posses are now out seeking Baran.

Rooke in Low Condition. Constable Rooke still lies in Dauphin hospital, very weak from loss of blood. The bullet had entered below the heart and passed through his left lung. He bled freely and lost much blood on the long ride back to town. He is in a critical condition and thero is little chance his recovery.

Woman Refused Entrance. It is believed that the woman shot is the same woman who, on Rooke quiring at the house for Baran, told the constable that the man they sought 1 was not at home, Rooke was seeking his man on a charge of wife desertion, the Galician having abandoned his wife to become a public charge, and living with another woman in the settlement.

The woman at the house refused to open the door when the constable called, telling him through a window that Baran was out. Disbelieving her, Rooke attempted a forcible entry, when three rifle shots were fired through the door. The first shot took Rooke in the breast over the heart and the livery driver, who had taken him to the settlement, dragged him out of range, and took him back to town.

This was the second attempt made to apprehend Baran, an officer having gone after him a few days ago, but, after a terrific fight, he had to return without his man, and Rooke was then sent out to attempt the capture. Baran is a big, husky man, 45 years of age, with an unsavory reputation, and known throughout the mountains as a desperate, lawless character.

Rooke Has Good Record Charlie Rooke, who is an old country boy, having been educated at Wellington College, Bucks, was formerly a member of the North West Mounted Police, Eight years ago there was a great deal of trouble on the southern frontier, through the constant raids of horse thieves from across the line. A mounted patrol was organized with Rooke at its head, and largely through his energy the thieves, who known as the McGraw gang. were were traced, and all the horses they had stolen, except two, over a long number of years, were recovered. Rooke was then taken into the regular provincial police force and stationed at Dauphin about a couple of years ago.

Rooke is married and the father of three children. The mother and the children live with him in Dauphin, He frequently came to Winnipeg and is well known here.

OFFICERS CAPTURE GALICIAN OUTLAW Dauphin, Man., Jan. 27. - John Baran is safely behind the steel bars of one of the cages in the Dauphin lockup tonight. He was brought to town shortly after 8 o'clock by Detectives Mackenzie and Parr of the Winnipeg provincial force. They left early this morning for the other side of the mountain, taking the Elphinstone trail. This they followed for a dash of over 35 miles. Shortly after dinner they overtook Baran, who was heading for the south as fast as his legs could carry him. When apprehended he made no effort to resist arrest and quietly took his position in the sleigh with the officers, He was taken about five miles from the farm where the shooting occurred. The return trip was made to Dauphin without anything worthy of not happening. Baran claims that he was not in the house when the shooting occurred and did not know about it until the evening when he returned. He claims the woman did the shooting, and she is stated to have said she fired the shots at Constable Rooke. The stories of Baran and the woman do not fit in in all respects.

The hunt for Baran was wall organized posses working from all points of the compass, which left no avenue open for his escape.

The most regrettable feature of the Bridley, part with the result that both the woman and baby were struck. Much excitement has prevailed in town all day and the whole talk on the streets was the shooting.

Many Galicians from the mountain settlement were in town during the day and all expressed the hope that Baran would be arrested, as they regarded him a menace to the peaceable inhabitants. The woman came here from Kamsack about a year ago, and since that time has lived with Baran, he having deserted his wife and children.

The whole proceedings was the killing of the year-old baby which was lying on the bed. A fusillade of rifle shots was fired into the house by Chief

BARAN AND WOMAN TO FACE CHARGE --- (Staff Correspondent.) Dauphin, Man., Jan. 28. - John Baran and the woman with whom he has been living since he left his real wife will be charged with attempted murder in connection with the shooting of Constable Rooke, of the provincial police force.

Statements from both Baran and the woman have been secured by Constable Parr and these will probably be presented when Baran comes up for his preliminary hearing before the Dauphin magistrate this afternoon, following the inquest on the baby of the woman who was killed by the posse when the man hunters returned the fire from the Baran cottage.

Woman Maintains She Did Shooting. The woman still maintains she did all the shooting and while it is generally admitted that she was the one who fired on the posse it is believed that it was Baran who shot Constable Rooke, Baran attempted to prove an alibi with the statement that he was at a neighboring farm when the shooting of the officer took place, but it has been shown that there was two hours' difference in the time when Rooke was shot and when Baran was at the neighbor's. This would give him plenty of time to travel from his own house to the place where he states he was at the time.

Good Looking Woman. The woman with whom Baran has been living is said to be rather good looking and well educated for one of her class. She appears to be devoutly attached to Baran and will stick by him to the last. Her devotion probably accounts for her statements that she did all the shooting, being an attempt to shield the man, Baran is said to have made threats. against Constable Rooke, who was largely responsible for having two of Baran's children by his real wife placed in the care of the Children's Aid society at Winnipeg, The other two are living with their mother near Dauphin. Baran's reputation in the neighborhood is alleged to have been such that his neighbors would make a wide detour to avoid passing his house.

WOMAN STATES SHE ALONE FIRED THE RIFLE SHOTS --- (Staff Correspondent.) Dauphin, Jan, 28. - Provincial Police Constable John Rooke has a chance for life. The woman who protested his entry to the shack of John Baran, the outlaw, is recovering, while Baran himself moods in his cell at the local police jail, remanded on a charge of wife desertion.

The developments of the last 24 hours have materially altered the whole aspect of the Riding Mountain tragedy, and apparent mysteries are likely to be cleared up. The only hopeless feature of the case is the loss of the baby life in the mountain shanty up in the bush.

The woman in the hospital, whose name is still unknown. swears that Baran was never in the house when the officers called to arrest him, claiming that she alone repulsed Rooke with a rifle. She was known here to be a skilled hand with a gun. The story now gains credence, as does her declaration that she fired the shots at Chief Bridle's posse, whose return volley shot to death her baby and so nearly ended her own life.

Baran Was Unarmed. Baran when captured yesterday, was unarmed, Deputy Chief John MacKenzie and Constable Parr were driving along a mountain trail when their man wandered out from the bush. They immediately made toward him, but he made no attempt to get away or to struggle, and came quietly back to town. Since his arrest, he has given the police no trouble whatever, and the only direct charge they have against him is that of wife desertion. It was on this charge, therefore, that he was brought before Magistrate Munson at 10.30 this morning. Until the recovery of the woman who lived with him, no further evidence can be secured against him, and he was remanded.

Woman Alone to Answer. The whole case now rests on the wounded Galician woman. If her declarations that she alone fired the shots that wounded Rooke and endangered the subsequent posse be not disapproved, she will have to answer for Rooke's hurt, perhaps for his life. If she lives herself, she cannot but Implicate Baran; it is her word against anything he says, and the matter may yet call for the judgment of a Solomon, if each persists in defending the other, or each attempts to condemn the other.

CAPTURE OF BARAN. ---- Dauphin, Man., Jan. 28. - John Baran is safely behind the steel bars of one of the cages in the Dauphin lockup today. He was brought to town at 8 O'clock last night by Detectives Mackenzie and Parr of the Winnipeg provincial force. They left yesterday morning for the other side of the mountain, taking the Elphinstone trail. This they followed for a dish of over 35 miles. Shortly after dinner they overtook Baran, who was heading for the south as fast as his legs could carry him. When apprehended he made no effort to resist arrest and quietly took his position in the sleigh with the officers. He was taken about five miles from the farm where the shooting occurred.
