Permits His Daughter to be Sent to

Ottawa, July 15.-Wednesday night
Marshal Heck received a telephone
message from Marshall Skinner of
Ouenemo asking for the arrest and de-
tention of Mrs. Florence Mise, who was
supposed to be in this city She was
here-came yesterday-and was placed
under arrest. She was charged with
having written an order for $40 worth
of goods on Merchant Marshall of
Ouenemo, and unauthorizedly signing
her fathers name. The goods We're de-
Iivered and the father, VIM. WestWood,
refused to honor it, but declared it
forgery and permitted the law to take
it's course.
Mrs. Mise is petite, pretty, well edu-
Gated and not over IS years old. She
is we'll known in this county having
held positions of trust here, and has
many friends.
She was deserted by her husband
when a bride of less than a week.
Sheriff Church's sympathies were en-
listed in her behalf and she was not
subjected to the full rigors of prison
life last night. Today officer Skinner
came over with an agreement from
Marshall TO dismiss the case on return
of the goods and payment of costs, to
which the girl has gladly agreed.

GETTING UNDER WAY.
The Karnival Knights Held Another
Meeting Last Night

Next Monday night a big meeting will
be held at the Commercial club rooms in
the interest of the Carnival feature of the
Fall Festival. All of the members of the
board of Karnival Knights, selected a
week ago, will be present and the work
of arranging the Carnival will be mapped
out.
A number of the members of the board
met at the club rooms last night and talk
ed over the Carnival in an informal way.
1t was decided to elect president and
secretary at the meeting on Monday, and
present that Charlie Holiday should ac-
cept the executive place. Mr.. c. K. Hol-
liday, Jr., will accordingly be unani-
mously asked to head the carnival young
men Dean Low was mentioned as the
probable secretary.
Several of the members, including E. L.
Copeland, Frank Crane, F. f. Nipps and
H. F. Bird were in favor of issuing Ii
cense to those participating in the Car
nival this year. Fred Chase thought this
scheme might not work because some of
the people who would take part in the fun
would not want to give their names. 1t
was proposed to keep the registration
book in the hands of the select committee
of three sworn to secrecy, but this mat
ter was only discussed in an informal
way and action was taken
At the meeting Monday night an irnpor-
tant step will be taken by appointing a
big committee on ideas to furnish brains
for the demonstration. 1t is expected to
greatly enlarge the committee and elect
board of directors.
