HOW DID YOU COME
TO Be SUCH A LIAR?''

For three days Mrs. Jane Burge-
son, wife of q prominent SLOGAN min
ing man. has been the wonder If not
the admiration Of the police court.
The trouble started with Mrs. Bur-
geson's arrest for disorderly conduct
IN having assaulted Amanda Tibbits,
her washerwoman, last Thursday.
She was arrested, but when her
name was called she told Justice Hin
kle she had something more import
ant than coming to police court.
"Tn have to put you under bonds"
said the justice.
Il won't give a bond because I
have no money" said Mrs. Burgeson
with decision.
"You1l go to Jail. then" said the
Justice with equal determination.
We'll. you don't get any bond out
Of me-not on your grandpa's pic

was duly locked UP. She remained
In jail about two hours. weakened

Yesterday she was up for trial, hot
with rage. and the first outburst came

that Mrs. Burgeson flew into a yio-

about giving matters to the papers

1t was also learned late this after
noon that Wallie Lawson, the big col
