last days session of the national
and international good roads con-
vention T. G.. Harper of Burling-
ton, Ia, chairman of the commit
tee on resolutions, submitted the

An item from the Paris Appeal:
In the circuit court last Thursday
Clara McNear was fined $25 for
contempt of court for failure to
appear when the State case against
Ohas. Meals, indictad for her Sc
duction, was called. Prosecuting
Attorney Boyd fled information
against Cliff Wade and Meals, al
leging that he bribed the girl to
disappear. From her father who
wos a party to the affair, the de-
tails were learned. He confesse
that he connived at the attempt to
suppress the prosecution, alleging
that the price was $3.50, of which
amount he received $40 in advance
keeping $15 and giving the girl So
to pay her way out of the county.
She was intercepted at Centralia
and brought back to Paris. Wade's
part in the affair is alleged to have
been that Of a mutual friend act
ing on behalf Of Meals and the
girl. The cases will be tried in
August. In this, as in all other
matters coming in MISREPRESENTATION,
Boyd has proven himself one Of
the most vigorous and capable
prosecuting attorneys Monroe
county ever had.
