State Meeting Makes Quick Work
Next Gathering at Carthage.

The MESSAGE last week contain
ed a partial account Of the doings
of the Anti. Horse Thief State
meeting in this city.
The old officers were reelected
by acclamation-it was a good ad-
ministration and the members
wanted more Of it.
Carthage was selected as the
next meeting place; October .,
1906, the date chosen.
D. l.. Rogers, president Of the
lodge at Dye school house, this
county, was elected one of three
delegates from the Missouri divis-
ion to the national meeting to be
held at Carthage, Mo-, Oct. 4,
1906.
Capt. w. T. Lott, of Venice,
near adjournment, being one OF
the Oldest members of the order in
Missouri and perhaps of the whole
country, was prevailed upon for a
speech. He told Of the times near
forty years ago when he was in
strumental in organizing a band of
farmers for mutual protection
against small thefts and horse
stealing, being then a resident OF
Clark county, Mo. The movement
in that county led to the orgauiza-
ton Of the State and National A.
II. I. A. Later, when Mr.. Lott
moved to Audrain, he organized a
similar band, A. II. T. A., at the
Dye school house. That was in
the early seventies. The lodge is
now known as No. l91, and is
one of the most important lodges
in the jurisdiction Of Missouri.
Mr.. Lott was listened to in wrapt
attention, showing that his past
services to the order are fully ap.
preciated.
The gathering wound up all
their business and took adjourn
ment just before midnight.
T. j Atkins, fran Laclede, was
delegate. He formerly belonged
to the lodge at Dye. He remains
here to visit his sons, Wiley ant
Will Atkins.
Val Erdel, Jr.. secretary o.
lodge No. 1S1, aud Frank james
and j. b. Weaver were three o.
the busiest men present. They
were on the reception committe,
and met every delegate as h,
stepped from the train. The Stat
meeting owes them a vote o
thanks. All the Audrain boy
worked, and the convention wa
therefore all the more enjoyable
The gathering was a great success

In the Lewis Roby alienation Of af-
lection case in Windsor county court

tiff for s1,6S3.
The plaintiff, Herman II. Lewis,
claimed that his wife's affections had

named James f. Roby and claimed
damages at $4,000. The parties live
at Springfield and the plaintiff Is 30
years old. He was married in 1895 to
his first cousin. Effie p. Brown. Each
winter Lewis on account of his health
has been in the habit of going to
Southern Pines, n. c.. where he has
an estate. In the fall of 1902 Lewis
departed, leaving his wife on small
farm about a mile from Springfield
village. She had two small children
to care for and had to do the chores
on the farm, including, ii is claimed
the care and milking of two cows. one
of which was a kicker When the
spring of 1903 came, Lewis decided 70
STAY south. and left his wife to look
after herself and children, assisted &C.
casionally by the father of her hus..
band. About this time the Defendant
Roby appeared on the scene ana
helped Mrs. Lewis to do the chores.
especially to look after the kicking
COW. The claim of the plaintin Is
that Roby became intimate with Mrs.
Lewis at this time. Mrs Lewis and
the defendant denied any improper
conduct. 1t was argued that If Mrs.
Iewis's love was alienated from ner
husband. 1t was by reason of his neg
lect of her.

First Selectman James f. Hooker
states that the letter which was pro-
duced by f. c. Gale at the hearing at
Bellows Falls on the question Of IL
cense at the island, was obtained from
him under misapprehension; that he
signed the letter for Mr.. Gale, sup
posing that it was merely a testimo-
NAL as to Mr.. Gales honesty and
business ability to be used by the lat
ter in securing position, presumably
as travelling salesman. and that he
had no idea that it was to be used in
connection with the license matter
which he thought was settled What
ever my personal opinion may be-
said Mr.. Hooker, Il have made it
point as selectman. to keep out of the
brewery license fight" Mr.. Hooker
has written James II. Williams of Bel
lows Falls in reference to the matter,
explaining his position.
Mr.. Hookers own statement is as
follows:
To the editor of the Reformer.
A letter from me was presented at
Bellows Falls in the Gale brewery
hearing. as has been noted in your
paper, and this letter was given by
me to Mr. Gale as a Recommendation
as to his personal character and nom
esty. / had no idea that there was
to be a hearing at Bellows Falls. In
fact, thought the island license az
fair was closed ! am writing you IN
order that my position on this ques-
ton can be understood.
