WOMAN THROWS lYE
IN HUSBANDS FACE

Earl LaMons, bartender at tne
Oriental, was severely injured late
yesterday afternoon by his wife throw
Ing lye in his face, His eyes, face,
ears and neck were burned. The wo-
man was arrested soon after. La
Muuk went to Wars drug store, where
his injuries were attended to. La
Mong had Just gone OF duty and went
to the Windsor House. where the cou.
Pile were rooming, and started to pack
his trunk, intending to move to other
quarters, owing to domestic infelicity.
He was accompanied by friend, Har.
ry Haley. Some words were exchang
ed between LaMong and his wife.
when she went to another room, got
the lye and threw II at his face. He
missed large portion OF II by dodg
Ing. The couple came here from Sa.
Ida, where they were married, few
months ago. There Mrs. LaMong ran
a rooming house and had acquired
considerable property, which she sold
before coming nere. The last sale
she made was the rooming house. and
II Is said to have brought $500 La
Mong was one OF her roomers and
that is the way he got acquainted with
her. She is a good-looking widow. IL
much older than her husband and has
a little boy by her former husband.
Gossip has been busy concerning the
couple ever since they came to Duran
LaMong told his associates that he
was only after his wife's money One
woman recently told Mrs. LaMong OF
these reports. hoping to put her on
her guard and possibly save her from
becoming the dupe OF designing
man. Notwithstanding their differ
ence In ages. they appeared to be a
happy couple, his homecomings being
always greeted with exhibitions of al.
fection. In fact these greetings were
SO marked as TO attract the attention
of the neignbors. A week ago last
Thursday night they attended the
| dance at Redmen hall. Mr.. LaMong
is a fine dancer, jovial and jolly, and
he had good time. His wife did not

happy at her husbands enjoyment
He was at the dance again last Thurs
day night, bat was there alone. He
said ne had a quarrel with his wife
before. he went, but no one thought II
was serious 1t is supposed that the
stories that reached Mrs. LaMong's
ears, coupled with jealously. are re
sponsible for her throwing the lye.
Mrs. LaMong was released on bal

at the present time. but with the great
leap we are about to take-the great
advancement to make, we will need
other things-remember. we have a
reputation to keep up. VIII we do it?
It's up to yo, citizens OF Pennington
1t is for you to say whether or no
our little city will still be known as

We will soon need paved streets, LET
us have them before they are needed
Let every citizen appoint himself

improvements. Many new streets will
be opened. Let us grade them in the
beginning, that unsightly improve
ments will not be needed later. Let
MS have good sidewalks and plenty of
them. Let us keep the highways and
byways cleaned mp and free from ref
use and filth. We must have sew
erage system. In a few short years
we will need and want a street rail-
way system-let's begin to boost
now! Keep Pennington ahead of the
times.
All these things will have to come
sooner or later-wny not sooner? The
times adyance-so must we. II our
town elicits favorable comments from
visitors now, how much more will 1t
do so. if, with these improvements
We need public park-why not have

Why not follow these natural laws--lay away

Quite trueyou can get these things laterthe

at so low price now-because we are special
pricing winter hosiery and underwear and are doing
everything in our power TO encourage buying.
Why' Because we bought too many of these

but our judgment as to the quantity needed was at
fault-hence your opportunity.
