NOT so SERIOUS.
Winserter Escaped With Only the
Costs to Paw.

Philip Wingerter was tried in May
or's court, Friday, on charge of as
sault and battery upon VIM. Edwards.
The affair is alleged to have taken
place at Halo-nearly a month ago
and Edwards was so badly hurt that
he was obliged to stay in the County
Intirmary, for several days. At the
time, Wingerter was taken before
Justice of the Peace, at Reservoir,
and fined 81 and costs. But the city
of Akron believed the punishment was
insufficient, and had another affidavit
filed against him. Wingerter, how
ever, became i'll of blood poisoning,
not long after the fight with Edwards,
it is claimed, as the result of pre-
vious fight with the watchman, at the
Colonial Salt Co.'S plant.
AS the result of the hearing in May
or's court, Friday, Wingerter was fined
the costs in the case. 1t was shown
by the testimony that the fracas oc-

NEW KITE
To Help Wireless TeIe-
sraphy.
May Be Able to Send Messages
1000 Miles.

New York, Dec. 13.-Wm. A. Eddy,
who has just arrived in Bayonne, N.
j., from Connecticut, has written to
Mr.. Marconi inclosing diagrams of an
improved tandem kite system for
reaching height of 5000 feet with
the Major Baden-Powell system Of
kite. He thinks this system will en-
able Marconi to send messages at least
1000 miles. because every increase in
heights has so far enormously in
creased the range of wireless tele-
grams. Should the receiving vessel
1000 miles out at sea also send up a
receiving wire by means of kite storm
flyers to height of 5000 feet, Mr..
Eddy thinks the 1000 mile limit will
be reached.

Mr.. John Webber, owner of the

interior of the building. This is fully
covered by insurance.
Nine. PARCEL, who carries no in
surance, estimates the damage done
her at several hundred dollars. The

praised.

Mr.. Geo. Haas's Grocery
Stock Destroyed.
Mysterious and Obstinate Fire
Early Thursday Night.

A mysterious fire, which originated
in the basement of the grocery store
of Mr.. George Haas, 127 North How
ard st., last night at 7:15 o'clock, re-
suited In the entire loss of his stock
to Mr.. Haas, damage to the building
to the extent of about $1,500, and loss
by water. fire and smoke to the prop
erty of Nine. PARCEL, magnetic healer,
who lives on the second floor of the
block. Water in the celler of Koch
g. Crile's restaurant also damaged
goods that were stored there.
The clerk had just closed the store
and left for his home, when the fire
started, and before he had reached his
home, he was notified that the grocery
was burning. He notified Mr.. Haas
and they returned to the scene at
once.
An alarm had been rung in the mean
time, and No. department responded.
A dense smoke, binding and penetrat-
ing, prevented the tiremen from work
ing with the accuracy they desired,
and kept the exact situation mystery
almost until the fire was out. Half
an hour after the first alarm, the
rest of Akron's departments were call
ed by telephone, and they hurried to
the scene.
Three streams We're kept at work
on the blaze for three hours before 1t
was extinguished. Nine. PARCEL, who
lives over the grocery, was uncon-
scious of the fire until notified by one
of the firemen.
She hurried down stairs and
then returned to rescue her
dog and bird which had been left
behind. She was overcome by the
smoke, and tainted as she reached
the open air.
Thousands of gallons of water were
thrown, and all the cellars In the i'm
mediate vicinity We're half filed, be-
fore the firemen left.

fire again at 8 o'clock today. and the

factories now, the value of whose pro-
ducts for the year ending in June,
1900, was $S,246, 240 for general rubber
goods and $11,999,03S, for boots and
shoes. The census of 1890 showed the
value of general rubber goods pro-
duced in Connecticut for year to be
$3,476,390. The increase shown in
other States will be as large, as a
rule, and the whole, warrants the as
sertion that in no decade for 4C
years has there been SO great an in
crease in the volume of the rubber

GAS AND TROUBLE
Comes From White Bread.

While it Is true that we build up the
body from food, 1t is also true that
different kinds of food have different
effects on the body and produce differ
ent results.
For instance, 1t Is absolutely impossl-
BILE to live on white bread alone, for
1t contains almost nothing but starcn,
and an excess OF white bread produces
gas and trouble in the intestines, while
at the same time, the OtLer elements
required by the body for building up
brain and nerve centers, as well as
muscular tissue, have been left out of
the white bread, and we see from ex-
perence the one trying to live on white
bread alone gradually fails in mental
and nervous power. as well as loss in
muscle.
Such diet coul not be kept up long
without fatal, results. A lady In Jack
sonville, Fla. was crippled by an ac-
cident two years ago. Being without
the power of exercise, an old stomach
trouble that was hers for years became
worse, and II WAS serious question
regarding food that she could digest.
A physician put her on Grape Nuts
Breakfast Food with some remarkable
results. She says now that, not only
is she able to do big days work, be-
cause Of the strength. OF her brain and
nerves, but that she has finally thrown
away her crutches because the muscles
of her limbs have gradually grown
stronger since she began Tie use of
Grape-Nuts. and now she is practically
well and can go about without trouble,
Notwithstanding the fact that 1t was
said she would never be able to walk
again. So much for eating the right
kind of food instead of remaining an
invalid and cripple because of the
lack Of knowledge of the kind of food
to use to bring one back to health.

last of the session. viii be one of hard
work for the legislature, for there are
many important measures to come be
fore both houses. Three appropriation
bills are to be disposed of, and at least
two of them viii require exhaustive
consideration.
The senatorial problem seems no
nearer solution than it was on the first
day of the session. 1t seems to be the
opinion that Corbetts forces viii stand
solid. that the Mcbride adherents will
not go TO Corbett and that the Demo-
Gratis viii not step in and settle the Re-
publican fight. In other words, there
! are many who believe that there Will
+ be no election. There is talk Of eX-
Senator John II. Mitchell entering the
fight. but so far as the public knows
his plans have not yet been matured

i they are a majority of the Republican
members they cannot reasonably be

BIGAMIST WARDS
CROOKED RECORD
Known as Potter and Had
Many Wives.
BROTHER OF VICTIM
COMING TO UTAH
Ward Supposed to Be in Hiding
at Ogden.
Especial to The f1erald.l

Denver, Colo. Feb. 16.-The police of
Denver believe that Michael T. Wards
other name is A. B. Potter. For four
teen years A. B. Potter has roamed up
and down these western states, marry
ing women with available money, OBJ
tanning their cash and then deserving
them. The experience of the trusting
woman who was buried yesterday in a
paupeT's grave at Riverside proves that
she was a victim of the Potter method
though the man who deceived and be-
trayed her gave the name of Michael
7. Ward.
Potter gave all sorts of names and
from the similarity Of operation de-
tectives are strongly inclined to be
heve that Ward is Potter and vice
versa. Ward and the woman who com
mitted suicide last Wednesday came to
the city last summer, registering at the
Windsor hotel. Later they lived at the
Warren House on Larimer street. They
were accompanied by a maid, Miss An
ME KOStt and said they came from
Washington state TO attend to some
mining business. NJ. T. Ward is well
known under that name to several WO-
men of Colorado, who have suffered
from their acquaintance with him.
Among Wards victims in his fake
mining deals are Mrs. Tilla A. Jaquette
and Mrs. z. D. WeltOn of Denver, who
are each said to have purchased of him
a fifty-foOt portion of the Bohemia mine
in Douglas, Ore, for $3.50. The identity
of the woman who committed suicide
Wednesday was made known by Mrs.
Welton, Mrs. Jaquette and Miss Grace
Warren, daughter of the proprietor of
the Warren hotel. After consulting an
attorney, Frank Jaquette has gone 10
Salt Lake on a search for Ward.
Potter's criminal record covers a pc
riod of about fourteen years He was
originally a railroad man, but has not
been in Denver under his right name
for ten years. After his departure a
score of letters reached the local au-
thorities in regard TO his performance
In July, 1894, he married a girl in Ohio,
only to leave her a month afterwards,
after getting what little she had. Be
fore that he had wives in Georgia, Ar
kansas. Kentucky and Tennessee. In
his operations Potter nearly always as
sumes the part of a wealthy railroad
man. For a while he represented him
self to be the business manager of the
Rocky Mountain News.
