More Trouble From Kibbey In the
Family of Giesey.

Family of Giesey.
Great Falls. Dec. 9.-Another OF those
ludicrous cases which Kibbey from time
to time produces. and sometimes sends to
the district court. has been settled. Tho
family of Giesey Is capable OF producing
a case at almost any time, offhand. as II
were, which,. though very serious to the
Gleseys. is a roaring farce TO the public.
Back in the summer there was another
of the series of family trouble in the
house of Giesey. Mr.. and Mrs. John Gle
sey had said for the 'steenth time that
they could not bear the sight OF one an
other and must part again. John had just

so he alleged, by poison administered In
his food by the hand OF his loving wife
Abbie. and they had partly made up this
trouble. Then something happened-his-
tory does not specify what-and the merry
war began anew.
John and the hired man were workin I'm
the fields one day. Abbie spied them and
sailed forth to do battle. Her eapon

for MARKET: some that the speckled hen
had laid In a stolen nest and then de-

There was an appeal to Justice. No man
can dwell In harmony with a wife who

arrest OF Abbie on a charge of assault
and battery was issued and tne case
should have been tried this week In the

dismissed the case on the ground that,
while the complaint alleged the throwing

FACTS ABOUT THE APPLE.
1t Is the Most Extensively Used of All
the Fruits.

~ Euhss
When the people living along the At
lantic coast from Maine to Virginia
awoke one morning last April to see a
full inch of snow on the ground, few
realized how much damage had been
done by the storm. All through the
farming districts the fruit trees Were
either in full bloom or the buds well
advanced, so that the snow lay like a
cold. wet blanket on the buds n killed
nearly all of them. thus destroying OF
blighting the fruit crop. When the
peaches in Delaware and Maryland
were reported killed by this frost. II was
still hoped that the apple trees. which
bloom much later, would be all right,
but, as the season advanced, II was
found the buds had been injured and
the years crop would be inferior and In
many places a complete failure.
The apple is the most used of all the
fruits grown. 1t is world
and has figured in history and the lives
Of most nations since the earliest rec
ord. Poets and philosophers have told
of IL, and mythology a endowed IL
with wonderful virtues. The golden
fruit of Hesperus was an apple; also
the famou tree of knowledge bore APP
Piles. II was an apple which Eve ate
and offered 20 Adam. and the fruit IN
the garden guarded b. the dragon
which Hercules finally ~overpovered
were apples. Apples were tabled IN al
the myths and were believed to have
many wonderful powers, such as con-
ferring Immortality, and were reserved
by the gods as a special food for those
who felt themselves growing old. AS a
relic of this old reverence for apples
IN farmers of Devonshire. in England
still keep up the custom Of "salutine
