THE MASTERS
Bound Over to Probate
Court.

John and Elizabeth Masters, living
at Pigeon Run, four miles east of Mas
sillon, and who have been the de-
PENDANTS In an assault and battery
case in Justice Barrick's court were
yesterday afternoon bound over to
the probate court by the magistrate
under bond of $3.50 which was given
for them by Mrs. Sarah A. Arment, a
sister of the woman defendant.
The hearing occupied all Of Tues
day and Wednesday afternoon. The
prosecuting witness. Fremont Bow
man. living next to the Masters farm,
claimed that while he was walking
past their house on the public high
way the mother and son came out
and committed an assault upon his
person. The defendants refuted this
charge, inasmuch as they did not
trespass on the public roadway. Bow
man does not bear any marks of the
criminality and, in fact, all that he
did sustain was blow on the breast
from young Masters fist and one in
the same place from a clinker which
his mother threw. The legal pro-
ceedings which were entered into by
Bowman and the Masters families for
the past seven or eight years. during
all of which time continual jangle
has been kept up in the way OF vitu'
peration by both sides which is dis
pleasing to the neighborhood.
Bowman is "a years old end about
six feet high. Mrs. Masters does not
weigh over 100 pounds while her son
is but 10 years of age and not a stocky
build.

SUSPICION
DIRECTED BY DIMM'S LAW.
YER AGAINST
A. P. OWEN OF CANTON
Says He Manufactured
Evidence.

Cincinnati, July 20.-A jamestown,
N. Y, special to the Enquirer says:
VIM. ID. Dimm, OF Dayton, Ohio, a
railway postal clerk on the Erie road,
between Kent, Ohio, and Salamanca,
N. Y, was put on trial in the United
States court here this week on the
charge of stealing money from the
malls The evidence was procured by
United States Postal Inspector A. p.
Owen, of Canton.
Owen, on April A, mailed a decoy let
ter, timed for transfer to Dimm's run
and followed ON the same train. At
Salamanca owen arrested Dimm in a
grocery store Immediately after leav-
ing the train. Taxing his prisoner to
a hotel Owen made a search for the
contents of the decoy letter. which con-
sisted of two one-uvilar bills and a
marked Canadian quarter He says he
found the quarter in Dimm's pocket
book but the bills were missing. The
next morning the bills were found in
an apple basket In the grocery store
and the theory of the prosecution is
that Dimm put them ..ere as soon as
ne saw the inspector on his track"
Dimm's attorney, in opening for the
defense, said he would show that Dimm
was innocent and would ask not only
verdict of acquittal but also a recon-
mendation from the Jury that the min
ues of the trial be presented to the
kext federal grand jury to take such ac-
tion as the law justified against Owen.
To support his contention that Dimm
did not place the money in the apple
basket, he produced grocer named
Stevens, who has store adjoining that
in which the money was found. Mr..
Stevens said Mr.. Owen and another
mail clerk named Whitney came to his
store on the night Dimm was arrested
and searched an apple basket. AS they
were in the wrong store they did not
find the money.
Milton ID. Fosyer, prominent
churchman of Dayton, and friend of
Dimm. who has been attending the
trial, swore that last week Clerk Whit
ney told him that owen found the de-
coy letter intact on his arrival at Sal
amanca. From this testimony the de-
fense wishes the jury to draw the in
ference that Owen or Whitney placed
the money in the apple basket.

NO SWIMMING
OR SKATING ALLOWED BY STATE
BOARD.
Sweeping Order With Reference to
PolIuting Streams that Supply
Water.

Columbus, July 20.-The state board
its hands If 1t intends to enforce an or
der promulgated today. At the request
of the officials Of GAINESVILLE rules were
adopted which will seek to prevent
boating and bathing in water streams
which supply water to municipalities.
While framed particularly for Barnes
vile. the rules win be applicable to
every municipality in the state.
Under the provisions Of the Braun
law. enacted last winter. the state and
local boards have greater authority in
the matter Of regulating water supplies
than the general laws give to them.
The Braun law gives municipalities
control over the streams from which
they take water for 20 miles from the
municipal limits. The construction
placed upon the law by the state board
of health is that not only the main
stream is under control. but that every
branch and tributary also comes under
supervision. and, in effect, this means
that almost the entire watershed Of
any stream may be made subject to
the rules of the local and state boards
of health.
The boating ed bathing feature of
the rules says that such sports are not
to be tolerated without the consent of
the local boarl Of health. Skating on
the ice in winter comes under the same
ban.

There's cabbage, bread and peaches

And milk and toast, all good to eat;
And eggs and custards. pies and cakes,
And melons mellow. free from aches.
And peas and beans and onion stews,
And salads rich you can't refuse,
And berries sweet Of every hue
Still damp with mornings early dew;
And cream, and fruit from distant

So when the price Of meat high scars
Don't fret and coarsely cuss and swear
Because you miss your steak cooked

But live on fruits that nature grows
And let the beef trust take its blows.

DR.. George w. Harrison, well

spoke for a few moments heartily en-
dorsing Senator Andrews for con.

would use every effort to secure the

direct contrast to what had been the

better fitted to secure appropriations

to awakea an irrigation spirit Ia The
state, and 70 ove;cor,, the objection
which good many residents have
to any agitation of the irrigation
question, based on the foolish predi-
cation that the state has no arid
lands and that any advertisement of
Dakota irrigation presupposes that
dry farming is a precarious occupa.
ton, and that emigration to the state
will therefore be discouraged.
There is little use in attempting to
disguise the fact that the western
portion of North Dakota is to all in
tents and purposes arid and that
farming there can be profitably and
surely conducted only by the aid Of
irrigation. Any large farm emigra-

destructive boomerang.

FOLSOM, N. M ;, Oct. %. The
special train bearing Senas3r William
H. Andrews, republican candidate for
delegate to congress, was met at the
station at 8 o'clock this morning by
nearly every inhabitant Of Folsom
The schools had been dismissed for
the day in honor of the event, the
children mingling with the crowd to
see and hear the man in whom the
entire county is now interested
Although the hour was very early
for any demonstration, nevertheless
the platform resembled excursion day
in a rural town when the train puffed
into Folsom. Canon crackers, flags
and bunting showed that all were en-
tering heartily into the celebration
while the rush made to the rear coach
clearly demonstrated the cause.
Headed by the Santa Fe band the
party marched to the school house a
few yards away The building had
been beautifully decorated with the
stars and Stripes for the occasion and
little children were drawn up on the
steps waving tiny flags for the sena
tor.
AS the party ony had one hour al
it's disposal all speeches were neces
sarily very brief. Chief Justice w. J.
Mills made a neat speech. thanking
tie ladies' and children for their pres
enIe as well as the five hundred vot
ers. Judge Nils popularity in his
dFtrict is undisputed, all entering In
to ready sympathy with him as soon
as he begins to talk.
Judge Mills talked for only few
moments on national issues, devoting
the major portion of his time to Sen
ator Andrews and the republican par
ty of New Mexico. AS the chief jus
tiice was well acquainted with the
audience, owing to his numerous Wis
its to Folsom he entertained them
the ladies, with brief description oil
the personality of the candidate much
to the amusement Of his hearers and
to the no slight discomfit OF the sena'
tor who had not anticipated being
called handsome man before the
fair sex Of Folsom. Judge Mills then
devoted his time to what had been
accomplished by Senator Andrews
since his. residence of ten years In
New Mexico. He closed by requesting
the votes of each republican in that
district, which was promised in one
