The ruins OF the former homes Of
cliff jewellers in Northern Arizona
will be visited this month by party
of St. Louis and Washington scien-
lists, who propose to dig for specimens
to be taken to the Worlds Fair in
1901. Arrangements are also under
way for collection of specimens
from the petrified forests OF northern
Arizona, also to be part of Arizona's
exhibit at the exposition. The Ari-
zona Worlds Fair commission has ap-
pied to Washington for permission to
take from the reserve such specimens
rs may be satisfactory and will give
proper idea of the beauty and value
OF these petritied trees.

RIGHTS OF ENGAGED GIRLS.
Justice Finds That They Are Not
Chattels Of Those to Whom They
Are Pledged.

TOLEDO, o. Dec. 3.-Charles White,
of this city, was engaged to a girl
named Mamie BoSley. White is jeal'
Gus. and when he saw her walking on
the street with Henry Valentine he
attacked Valentine and the fight that
followed was bloody. Then Valentine
had White arrested on a peace war.
rant.
Judge Templeton heard the case to-
day and placed White under bonds.
He said.
white seemed 10 think that Miss
BoSley is an automaton; his personal
property, a chattel. An engaged wom-
an has the right TO go with Others.
The f!ancee may have an action against
her for breach OF promise, but he can
have no action against the third party.
After marriage q third party may be
sued for alternating the wife's alec
lions, but an engagement is merely a
promise TO enter into the marriage
contract,
The engagement, Of course, should
be held sacred, but just the same the
lady has the right to accept the at
tentionS of other men. In this case
Miss Bosley evidently permitted
Valentine to pay his attentions to her.
White should have talked the matter
over with her before demonstrating
with Valentine"
After the trial, Miss Bosley and her
mother stepped over to where White
sitting and offered their con-
dolences. There were tears in the eyes
Of the Virl.
