MARRIED MS SISTER.
Very Interesting story Drawn Out in
Pnrkersburg Court.

Parkersburg, Jan. s7--Probably
one of the most interesting Incl
dents that has transpircd since the
prasent term of United States cir
cult court convened was that which
attracted the attention of every one
in the court room the other day.
The Robert Wolf case was on
trial and Minor Field, U. S. wit
ness, was called to the stand, Attor-
ney Crogan repsen,ing the defend
ant, began questioning the witness,
by asking how long he, Field,
had been out of Jail. The reply
wax that he had been out for sever
nj mouths. Next he was asked for
what he had been sentenced and
how long he had been confined to
the Jail. The witness said he would
tell his story and that he did.
In effect he said: His mother
was Miss Watts, and when he at
tanned the age of one year he was
sent to the county house, where he
remained until he was nine years OF
age. Then he was adopted by Mrs.
Mary Field, of Kingwood, and was
reared as her son. He was treated
as one of the family and really con-
sidered himself as a son of Mrs
Field. He was successful in school
and after leaving it secured good
position and is at present superin-
tendent of the Kingwood Telephone
company.
About eighteen months ago
young woman named Watts came
to Kingwood he fell in love with
her. She reciprocated his affection
and they were married. Soon af.
terwards one of his enemies brought
up the charge that he had married
his half sister.
Field was arranged for marrying
a blood relative. He said he learn
cd the that his wife was the daugh-
ter of his mother, though he had
known nothing of his relation to
even his mother.
He was found guilty OF the charge
made against him and fined s7s
and sentenced to sixty days impri-
sonment in the county Jail.
Immediately after his release he
instituted divorce suit and at once
released his half sister from the
marriage ties.
Because of the prominence of the
Field family the story of the marri-
age of the adopted son to blood
relative and his imprisonment were
kept from the public.

WATER STORAGE COUNCIL
Temporary Organization Made Per
 manent Yesterday.

The council Of the Salt River Valley Water Users association held meet ing yesterday in the board of trade room, nearly all the councilInen being present. Temporary Chairman Vernon L. Clark, presided and temporary sec retary Rice was at his desk. The first order of business was the report of committees after which the temporary organization was made permanent.
 The council then proceeded to dis cuss the matter of bylaws. It was de- cided not to do anything nasty and for that reason only a few bylaws were passed: such as are necessary for the council to proceed with its work in an orderly manner. Other bylaws will be passed as their need becomes apparent but it was deemed better to have too few regulations than to attempt to pass a lot of rules that might need changing at an early day.

The past week was no doubt the grandest ever known in the history of the Doris theater. Nightly the seat ing capacity was taxed to it's utmost by an appreciative and refined audi enCe. The Curtiss company like on their former visit delighted our public with a series of plays that for artistic merit would be difficult to surpass. Each play was presented in every de tail to make the production a success and the very pretty stage settings brought forth rounds of applause. or the company We need speak no praise for certain it is. that every member of the Curtiss company has a warm place in the hearts of our amusement lov- ing public and their splendid reputa- tion will ever live in the memory of their Phoenix friends.

Miss Dale who no doubt has more ad- mirers here than any other actress dur ing the past week. won golden laurels for her splendid portrayal of a num- Der of excellent roles. Miss Dale as the leading woman with the CurtlSS company mas been accorded the highest praise by our critics and in many ways has been faVorably compared with actresses that stand at the head of the dramatic profession. Her claim for recognition at the hands of the theater going public is based on the highly finished and perfect enterpre- tation of many very difficult parts and her ability to conceal her own identity handsome gowns have been admired in every role she portrays.
