A Mat f||i[
Tickle Man of Peaceful
Valley Comes to
Grief Today

John Gentle, voted the homliest
man ever brought into police court,
was convicted before Justice Hinkle
this afternoon of changing wives
oftener than any other man in Peace
full valley. By the expert testimony
Of Mrs. Alice Stevens and Mrs. e.
Fairburn, neighbors. the suave Mr..
Gentle, in private life a teamster.
has ensconced at least one new wom-
an in his house each month for more
than half a year.
Gentle denied the soft impeach-
ment by saying: "'Tis not true that
I'm so ohangeable with the ladies.
These women were merely my guests
and the guests Of Mrs. Effie Winandy,
my companion"
Sanitary Policeman Otis told on
the stand Of being at Gentle's last
Sunday and of seeing a strange wom-
an preparing breakfast. To this
charge Gentle retorted that he had
no cook stove-it was only a queen
heater. 1.-The breakfast was being
cooked on the queen heater" ex-
planned Otis.
Gentle was fined $25 and costs and
told by the court that the moral tone
of Peaceful valley must be maintain
ed; that If Gentle were a young man
he would be given the full extent of
the law.
After Gentles lesson had been given
by the court, Charles Fairburn. a
neighbor with whom Gentle fought
last Sunday, was brought forward and
fined IS and costs for disorderly con-
duct. Fairburn's chief offense was
to bite a hole in Gentle's cheek.

RAIDER and 1t is believed that while
trying to assume this position he
slipped and fell on the rail.
DR.. Frank P. Witter was called, but
before he arrived the man was dead.
Smith & Co. the undertakers, receiv-
ed call for their ambulance as soon
as any Of the yardmen could reach
a telephone, but before 1t got to the
scene the man had passed away.
An examination Of the body Of
RAIDER shows that death was almost
instantaneous as the heavy car pass
ed over his right hip and tore into
the groin, which bears out the theory
that he fell astride the rail with his
feet to the car.
RAIDER was well and favorably
known here, having been employed
with the Northern Pacific several
months. Up to a few night ago he
had been working on the day shift.
No inquest will be necessary.
