coarse and derisive laughter by the

She Bet Her Baby.
From the Carthage Press


In mentioning a few of the novel
bets made on the election we omit
ted to speak of that made by Frye,
of the lumber yard. He bet his
lumber yard against Mrs. Frank
Warmers baby and as the prospects
grew bright for the Republicans on
Tuesday he rushed f~rantically to a
drug store, purchased a nursing
bottle, contracted for Jersey COW
and engaged a responsible woman
to care for the infant through the
day, intending, with Capt. Emery's
assistance, to care for it himself at
night. And now to his utter dis
gust Mrs. Warner declines to
give up the baby.
In St. Louis two young men were
counting the same girl and one OF
them killed the other, the girl be-
ing the emily witness. The survivor
has now married the girl, thus
cheating the State of a witness, as
a wife cannot be made to give evil
denee againsther husband. Hence
conviction seems ~impossible.

must develop more serious distur-
Dances. 1t is said that when any
of the strikers at Bevier go elswhere

is known that they came from

federation there. AS long as the
strike is continued at Beyier these
strikers receive support from the
state considerations. 1t is said
that if the State refuses to interfere
there will be more armed men go
to Bevier, and the people will soon
have more men killed there than
they WILDE willing to buy collins
