She further AYERS that S. B. Amidon has
in his possession the sum of $1,000 belong
ing to the defendant. Ralph Balm; that
1t was placed with him for the purpose
of avoiding and defeating the order made
by the court
Wherefore she asks that an order be

s. b AmidOn, compelling them to pay
the sums now due upon order of the court
Wall & Houck are attorneys for Mrs
Balm.
Ralph Balm was still unable to appear
when his case was called for trial in the
police court yesterday.
When seen at the ST. Francis hospital
yesterday, Balm said that he felt better,
but was. as yet unable to see out Of but
one eye. The cause for this being that

will be able TO appear in the police court
in a day or two.
