ALL, NOW IN jail,
1t is Claimed Theu Did Not EN-
brace the FOrmdIitu OF Getting
Legally Separated Before
Assuming New Relation

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. S.-Magis-
trate Fegenbush has knotty case on
his docket for Monday. Four per-
sons are charged with bigamy. An
exchange of wives is concerned, and it
appears that brothers married sisters.
James and William Eddington and Ju-
liza and Effie Eddington are the persons
accused. They live at South Park, q
few miles south of Louisville.
Some years ago the Eddington
brothers married sisters. After a time
it is alleged that each found he loved
the other the better, and a shift of
wives was PROPOSED. Now, here is
where the story differs. The Edding
tons claimed to have been divorced.
The arresting officertsays not. Magis-
trate Fegerbush is to decide which is
correct
For nearly two years the two couples
have been living together happily in
their new relations. Two weeks ago
Julia Eddington gave girth to child,
the first born to either couple. This
is said to have aroused jealousy, and
caused the news of the alleged shift to
reach the ears of County Policeman
Gilbert, who swore out four warrants
for bigamy.
The Eddingtons are all in the county
Jail. The brothers claim their wives
secured divorces before making the
shift, and that they were married by a
preacher named Oakes.

MINER FILLS FROM PRECIPICE AND
BECOMES ENTRNGLED In VINES.

COTTON. Calf, Nov 8.-W. T. Ber-
gin, one of the best known desert
miners in this county, has arrived here
with news of the death of George Lem
becke of Chino, who fell from preci-
pice twenty-seven miles southeast of
Sugar Loaf, just across the line in Inyo
county Becoming entangled in wild
grapevines, Lembecke was strangled,
and for days his body hung suspended,
being frightfully torn by vultures.
Bergin and Lembecke left here sev-
eral weeks ago to prospect in Inyo
county, and were changing their camp
when I4embecke, while looking for a
spring, lost his way and was overtaken
by night He evidently attempted to
find his way back to where he had left
Bergin, and, reaching growth of
grapevines, sought to push through
them, not knowing that they were
growing on the edge OF precipice
seventy-fve feet deep.

about him that he was rendered in

ports of all burglaries, and they tailed

and had followed the business ever
since. He said he came to Marion
with his parents about six months ago,
and had followed his vocation and had
assisted to support the family, retain
ing only small part of his income for
himself. He alleges the first job he
did in Marion was to enter the same
place he was captured while making
the second raid. The father and
mother deny the story told by the boy,
and say they never knew of him steal
ing anything. The fact that some of
the property stolen by the boy was
found at the Young home caused the
police to accept the statement made by
the boy, and the father and mother
are being held for Investigation.

lost Part OF Brains
Yet Mdv Recover

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, Nov. s.
With part of his brain gone, George
Parsons, an 8-year-old San Leandro
boy, who was kicked in the head a
week ago, still lives.
The doctors who attended him deem
his case one of the most remarkable in
medical annals. At first they were
hopeles of his recovery, because his
skull was crushed and large section
of brain matter disturbed
They removed several spoOnfuls of
the destroyed brain and pieces of the
skull that had lodged there, and closed
the cavity with a silver plate. The
operation was performed while the boy
was perfectly conscious. He did not
seem to feel the pain at ALL
Young Parsons has been getting
along SO well since his treatment that
the doctors say he will soon be at play
with his friends.

Bergin started the day after Lem

Whisky in Pals
TO Beat Prohibition

CHESTER, Conn, Nov. 8.9-A new
idea for introducing liquor in the town
has been tried here recently, which, it
is believed, is not due to any influence
from the towns thirsty ones, but orig
mated with the distillers.
Large consignments of wooden pals,
each pail containing a gallon vessel
of whisky, have been delivered by the
express company at the railway sta
tion here.
The pals are sent &C. o. d. and
the person to whom each is addressed
may take it by paying the price, which
is plainly marked, or may leave it.
The express company mails notif1-
cation of the presence of the pail to
each of the persons addressed.
Some highly respected citizens of the
town have been included in the list of
eonsfgnees, and there is considerable
quiet Indignation in the community.

Attendance From ThOrOughfare Neck.

An entertainment was held at Walk

being the childrens treat. Holly was
artistically grouped around the room.
A mammouth Christmas tree all ablaZe
with everything beautiful and the

cheerful finish to the scene. AS is
customary on that particular night the
people turned out en- masse, filling the
house to its fullest capacity.
The exercises, interspersed with
music aud singing were carried out in
very creditable manner due to the
ability of the young teacher, H. Clar-
ence Pritchard. The tenor solo,

Mr.. J. E. Latta, was we'll rendered
and much appreciated. Mr.. j. A.
Latta favored the audience with "Back
to Home, Sweet Home" which called
forth much praise, and ''Just for Old
Lang Syne," by Miss Bessie Warner,
was fine and full of sentiment. The
pleasing feature of the evening was the
dialogue "Goin' Somewhere" by Liz
zie Devnish and Aubrey Latta, anC
the closing address by young Harry

The occasion was one of the mos
successful ever given at Walkers. A.

The State Board of Education met
at Dover yesterday, with full attend

holding up of this appropriation of

salaries of the teachers, it will doubt
less have the effect of causing shake
up in the schools at this the be ginning

the inmates very nice entertainment,
which consisted of number of sacred
songs, recitations by Miss Alice

by Mrs. Mary WolcOtt, (that brought
loud applause), speeches by Rev. G.
