JUSTICE SCHULZ.


James Fenster was before Justice

moreover charges that ne took her
buggy.riding, and when about
four miles from the city In a
lonesome part of tho road, urged her
consent to marry him, and threatened
her life II sue did not consent. Her
friends claim tnat .Fenster was, desir-
GUS Of marrying Ada because OF con
siderable property which Is generally
supposed will eventually belong to
her.
Fenster, In bis account OF the high
Fcspsrs cut by little Cupid, says that ne
had been smitten with the girl, and
that she was willing and anxious to
marry him, but tho "old man" strenu-
ously objected. He moreover alleges
that tho maiden was brought to tears bv
this cruel decision OF the "old man."
He furthermore declares that he spent
'slghts" Of money on the girl, doing
tho handsome In the way Of Ice cream,
oysters, buggy rides, etc., and that
hostilities wore brought about by his
refusing to accommodate tbs oil
conference.-the father OF the Girl
