PASADENA, Nov. GA case came up IN
Justice Roses court yesterday OF most
shocking nature.
1eorge A. Mckay is defendant and
Mrs. Mckay plaintiff. The defendant Is
charged with an uncomfortable crime,
which if proven will land the defendant
in the penitentiary. Mckay was bound
over until Saturday to keep the peace,
when the preliminary trial will be held.
As near as can be learned the case has
its origin in family troubles, the first OF
which cropped out few days ago, when
Mr.. Mckay swore out complaint
charging his wife with adultery. This
was dismissed bv the justice for lack OF
evidence. Now Mrs. Mckay turns
around and makes the charges as stated
against her husband. The whole matter
will come out at the examination next
Friday.

point that no city in the state could
compete with the Crown of the valley:

pears to gather at the various places
where devotional exercises are held. VI
churches and religious societies there ls
almost an unlimited number, there be-
ing no less than 20 regular services held
here on Sunday, not counting the many
irregular meetings and religious lec'
lures.
Today was communion Sunday and
the capacity of the altar at the Method

over 400 people coming forward. Large
crowds were also present at the other
