WINGED Judge Mogan that he was not
the aggressor at any time, and his dis
missal followed. Miss Henry's case
was continued until October 8. when
she will have opportunity to prove her
assertion that she was no stranger TO
Charles. as he alleged, but had known
him for years. As for scolding him be-
cause he declined to take her TO dinner.
Miss Henry averred that was all bosh.
She did acknowledge that she captured
his hat. as he tried to elude her and
escape .on passing street car, but she
did that simply TO prevent him leaving
her. and With no idea of purloining the
headgear. How some men could go on
the witness stand and tell lies by the

When the full returns are in Il will
be of interest to compare the aggre-

state was 5S,545 for license and 54,-
935 against license. 1t appears that
there is gain this year in the no

in the state on the question of license
does not enter into the case.
