A FAMILY FUED.
A Brother Tries to Swear HIS Sisters In
10 the Penitentiary.

MILWAUKEE, November THE jury in
the case of the Traders Insurance Company
vs. Miss Mary A. Melendy and Mrs. Sarah
E. Wescott (sisters) in the United States
Court this afternoon, gave verdict Tor the
defendants within ten minutes time after
the case was submitted to them. The trial
has been in progress nearly two weeks, and
has attracted especial notice, owing to the
prominence of the ladies, who are accused
of arson, and the fact that the chief witness
for the complaint is brother OF the de-
fendants. Seven years ago q large building,
owned by the Dancher & Melendy Company,
at Ludington. Mich, was destroyed by fire,
with nearly all it's contents. At the time
Mary Melendy occupied rooms on the
second floor of the building, and was being
visited by her married sister, Sarah E. Wes-
colt, the property was insured for
over $4,000, and the loss claimed
was paid. A few years later a brother
of Sarah and Mary David A. Melendy)
married against the wishes OF the sisters.
Since then a family feud has existed. Among
the companies having loss on the Luding-
ton buildings was the Traders. The secre-
tary Of this company was approached by
Mrs. David Melendy, and informed that the
Melendy sisters had fired the building for
the sake of the insurance that they might
pay a mortgage held against the property;
that they had threatened to do SO before
the fire, and had since confessed the act to
David. The Traders brought an action to
recover the amount paid the sisters. On
the trial David testified to the above ad-
missions, and also swore that a large num-
ber of articles belonging to his sisters, such
as jewelry, seal skins and laces, which were
listed as destroyed, and upon which the ia-
surance was paid, were still in the posses
sion of tho sisters Eminent counsel was
employed on both sides, and bitterly con-
tested the case. It has attracted great at
tention. The defendants occupied a mag
nificent Grand avenue residence, their own
property and are quite we'll known through.
out the Northwest. To-day's verdict meets
the approval of nearly all who have watched
| the progress of the case.

A CHICAGO GIRL.
She Revolutionizes the English Lam
guage as Spoken in Boston

A Chicagoan visiting Boston wakes indig-
nant at the article regarding Chicago girls
which appeared in an Eastern journal. The
article charges that Chicago girls are in the
habit OF using such expressions as "getting
left," "rustled around" event back on
him." "corraled her handkerchief" Gin
the swim," made the ritie" and put in
his best licks."
The article referred to was shown to her
and she became exceedingly indignant, ex
claiming
"That is fish story. The fellow who
wrote that is way off his base.'
"You think, then, that there is no truth
in the assertion that Chicago girls are
addicted to slang?'
"Well, now. hold on. l don't mean ex
actly that. There may be some OF them
who sling slang, but | never work the slang
racket myself. suppose some OF the girls
do use slang sometimes, but this child is not
one OF them-now, you hear my bazoo"'
"What is your opinion OF Boston bellies,
compared to those OF Chicago?" queried
the scribe.
II think we can discount Boston on
beauty; and as for accomplish hments, why,
that's where we hold Il full hand. Take me,
for example,
~ should be most happy" said the re-
porter, gallantly.
"Come off," she calculated, playfuly.
'Take me for example, | can paw the
ivory with the best OF 'em. l can warble
few wards. and | can elocute, too. No,
sir; can tell you, Boston girls have got to
hustle to keep even with us, and it s very
seldom hear any OF the girls use slang.
WE'LL must 60 and get ready for the mat.

A BIG GAME OF FARO.
The Famous Play of Ben Wood and John
MOrrissey.
An Old Gambler in Boston Herald.

An Old Gambler in Boston Herald.
Speaking OF high play l may as well tell
you a story, the truth of which is well
known among sporting men, about a game
between John Morrissey and Ben Wood,
the famous gambler, Fernando Wood 8
brother:
In 1867 | was running game at No. l,
West Twenty-Fourth street, New York
City, where the Hoffman House now stands.
l was going home about 4 O'Clock one
morning, when, seeing light in the window
Of Morrissey's gambling house at No. 5, |
thought would go up for a few minutes and
see what was going ON. l found only about
half dozen men there, the rest looking on
while Wood and Morrissey were playing
faro. About the time came in the game
stopped, and Wood was $4,000 winner.
The company took Il few drinks and, after
some talk, Morrissey said to Wood: "You
can double that $62, 900 or lose it,"
"All right" said Wood. "Get behind the
table and give me 62 chips representing
81 900 each, and I'll go you" So Morrisey
began to deal and Wood to play against
the bank. At first Woods luck seemed to
have turned against him, for in ten minutes
he lost 20 of his chips, so that he had only
33 chips left, representing S33, ,OOG. At this
point he made up his mind to risk the
whole OF this sum upon single turn.
There were only three cards left in the box
the tray. eight and six-spot. Wood
placed his $33 900 on the eight; it was the
largest oct ever made in this country over
a gambling table. Morrissey drew the fatal
cards slowly out OF the box. If he won he
would have his $4,000 back. All held
their breath. The turn came, tray, eight,
and Wood scooped in $50, 900 at one haul.
The result OF this turn gave Wood SET, 900.
The luck changed from that point and Nor
rissey was soon cleaned out. When the
game was over he handed Wood check for
$50, 900 and note at thirty days for the
remainder of the 1924, 900 he owed him
as the result of that nights play. The
sort OF game have just described is called
a snap or 'freeze-out.' 1t is usually played
by only two men, each OF whom puts up
an equal amount of money. When either
is cleaned out the snap is broken and the
Same is 1T an end"
