Mr.. Grandstatf's many friends in this
city, who from time to time have heard

restore him to reason, and tnat he may
not allow his life to be blighted for.

WAS BURNED TO DEATH.
Mrs. S. 0. Sprinkle is Fatally Barn
ed at her Home South of Davis
City last Friday Morning.

A terrible accident resulting in the
death of Mrs. s. O. Sprinkle, occurred
at the home of S. o. Sprinkle, farmer
living about two miles south of Davis
City last Friday. Mrs. Sprinkle was en-
gagged in her household duties, being
alone in the house with her three small
children. She was getting dinner ready
and in lifting one OF the vessels from
the stove her apron came in contact
with the blaze and caught fire. She
had on dress of infiamable material,
and in an instant she was all i'm flames
The poor woman tried to tear her dress
off, but did not succeed, and she ran
screaming for help through the house
and out of the door. Her cries we're
heard by VIM. Campbell, the hired man,
and he met Mrs. Sprinkle at the gate
a I'd made a desperate effort to tear the
burning clothes from ber body, but did
not succeed. He finally threw her on
the ground and tried to smother the ire
out, and then ran and got Il bucket of
water and eXtinguished the flames, but
not until she was burned in a terrible
manner about the arms and body,
strange to say her face and hair not be-
ing burned. Her arms were burned so
badly flor the wrist to the elbow that
the flesh dropped off to the bone.
Medical aid was at once summoned, but
she was burned beyond human relief
and after suffering untold. agonies she
died about fourteen hours after the
accident.
The deceased was the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. Scott, who live
on the r. M. Black farm northwest of
Davis City, and was 23 years of age
She married Mr.. S. o. Sprinkle several
years ago, and leaves loving husband
and three small children.
Funeral services were held from the
home on Sunday afternoon, conducted
by Rev. Smith. interment being in the
new cemetery at Davis City.
The bereaved family have the deepest
sympathy of all the people of the COM
munity in their terrible bereavement.

Margaret Ralph.

The talented young star, Margaret
Ralph, has added another success to
her long list of triumphs in her
portrayal of the fascinating role of
"Rosalind" which she offers to theater-
goers OF Leon in the near future. There
is no heroine in all literature who has
as long chain of devoted admirers as
our fair Rosalind. She is the merriest
lady Of the pen of the bard of Avon
without once becoming, biting or scorn-
full. Her wit is all pure fun and UNDER
meath it all is as loving and tender a
heart as lover could wish for which
Orlando soon discovers. 1t requires
a, very rare talent to satisfy our ideals
of Rosalind, and to have accomplished
this is sufficient glory to any actress.
There is no woman before the public
today who lays higher claim to success
in the part than this charming young
actress. Miss Ralph possesses the
most beautiful INFLOW voice, the
memory of which ffDgs in your ears
long after and her Keen appreciation Of
the beautiful lines of the part leave a
lasting impression. Her katherine"
in "The Tanning of the Shrew" last
season will not be forgotten by Leon

Says Her Husband Induced Her to
Leave the State
AS health producer California
failed to measure up to the expecta-
tions of william M. Hunt and he
Urged his wife to sojourn in the east
pending her recovery from a severe
illness.
Mrs. Ruth e. Hunt believed in the
good faith of her spouse, and con-
sented to make the trip.
Yesterday in Judge York's court she
charged her husband with deceit, and
insisted that he urged her to cross the
continent for the sole purpose Of Sc
curing divorce.
Mrs. Hunt upon her return to Cali
fornia instituted proceedings on her
own account for the dissolution of
marriage.
Hunt filed an answer to his wife's
complaint in which he admitted the
truth of the allegations made against
him. Judge York granted a divorce.

and Judge Conrey was compelled to
deny the decree.
After having provided for her for 2
period OF six months after the we'd
ding day, Mrs. Nichols told the court
her husband urged her to get out Of
the house, saying that she was old
enough to hustle for herself.
on one occasion while the pair were
living in Arizona, Mrs. Nichols testi-
fed her husband went to the lodge for
the purpose Of riding a goat.
In the meantime Mrs. Nichols prop
ped herself up in an easy chair to read
the newspapers and between the lines
picture to herself the spectacular
stunts" Of her husband at the club.
Nichols finally arrived home in the
wee hours of the morning, much the
worse perhaps, from his experience
with the goat.
In his eagerness to enter his home
he battered down the door, and, be-
came enraged at his wife, she says, and
proceeded to hurl her about the room.
Since that night Mrs. Nichols has
been engaged in peddling soap to the
old soldiers.
Judge Conrey held that Nichols
conduct was unprovoked by his wife,
and in order to allow her to gain her
freedom he continued the case until

Yesterday in Judge Trasks court
Mrs. Malvine Heggi freed herself from

interests are concerned, and by decree
Of the court henceforth she will be
permitted to conduct her commercial

That her husband is i'll and unable

she proposes to engage in the business

AS her husband is an experienced

BOARD DISLIKES
PROPOSED LAW
BUSINESS MEN SAY CREDIT
0RS WOULD SUFFER
It Is Asserted That the Amendment
Would Prevent Men From seeur-
Ing Credit to Carry on
Their Affairs

The Los Angeles board Of trade
which has intimate relations at times
with business firms in a crippled condi-
tion financially of proposed at
sist the enactment of a proposed at
tachment law now pending in the Cal.
ifornia legislature.
1t is asserted the passage of the pro-
posed Senate Bill No. $50, which is an
amendment to Section 53S of the pres
ent attachment law, would result in
endless trouble and serve to assist deb
tors in swindling creditors, and would
in addition prevent men desiring to
engage in business from securing cred
It, The present law makes it possible
obtain credit fol. a reasonable amount.
If he should become embarrassed from
any cause the creditor on presenting
bis bill and falling to get his money,
may go into a court of record, swear
out an attachment, and levy on the
property at once, thus securing his
claim. This law is said to work salts
factorily in this state, and under it's
operation there is but little or no
chance for debtors to dispose of stocks
of goods or pocket the proceeds.
The proposed amendment would give
debtors ample opportunity to swindle
their creditors, If they desired so to do.
A creditor not having any mortgage
or other security would have to present
his claim, and failing to receive pay
ment, would be required to bring suit,
secure judgment in court, then cause
an attachment to issue, all of which
time. In the meantime, it is contended,
the debtor might dispose of his goods,
pocket the proceeds, or dispose of
the goods in some fraudulent manner.
Two years ago the attempt was
made to secure the enactment of the
same amendment at Sacramento, but
Los Angeles and Southern California
wholesalers and business men for
warded letters and kilograms Of protest
to senators and assemblymen in such
numbers that the amendment was
called up for passage. Those opposed
to the change in the attachment law
are now in communication with mem
bers of the general assembly and hope
to again kill the proposed amendment.
+ Secretary Gregory of the Los An
geles board of trade, states that the
present attachment law is just to
everybody, a benefit alike to the debtor
and the creditor. 1t protects the cred
itor at all times, and makes it possi-
BILE for the debtor to secure accom-
modations. Honest retailers, it is as
serted, have no reason to complain. 1t
is suggested that the proposed amend
ment is championed mainly by ire
sponsible retailers who desire an op-
portunity under a new law to swindle
those who sell them goods.

The Little Sisters of the Poor, who

COMPLAINS OF POLICEMAN
Junk Dealer Charges Officer With Un-
becoming Conduct

Frank Fisher, junk dealer of East
First street and a wealthy property
owner of the east side, yesterday en-
tered complaint against Officer Harry
Varey of the Los Angeles police force
before Capt. Auble.
The action taken by Fisher is the
result of a neighborhood quarrel in
which Varey Fisher and Mrs. Ida
Welk are said to have taken part.
The affair started near the Santa Fe
station several days ago. Fishers two
sons, Abe and Maurice, sell papers at
the station and while attending their
customers last Wednesday evening are
said to have engaged in an alteration
with Mrs. Welk.
Maurice, the younger boy, told his
father Mrs. Welk was striking Abe
and pulling his ears. Mr. Fisher
hastened to the rescue and asked Mrs.
Welk why she struck the boy. 1t IS
alleged that loud and profane language
was used by the woman and Fisher,
though no positive statement could be
made because the alteration took place
in the Jewish language.
Varey was standing near by at the
time of the quarrel and Fisher ac-
cuses the officer OF having kicked
him.
Several days later Mrs. Welk swore
out disturbance of the peace warrant
against Fisher and Varey was ordered
to serve it. 1t is alleged by Fisher
that when the officer failed to find
him at home and when Mrs. Fisher
claimed not to know Of her husbands
whereabouts, the officer called her bad
names and later refused to allow the
hoy Abe to leave the house to go for
medicine for his sick sister. Fisher
was fined $5 on the charge by Justice
Chambers Monday, and yesterday car
ried his complaint against the officer
t. Capt Auble. The captain examined
Varey, who denied having said any
thing out of the way to Mrs. Fisher
and explained his action in refusing
to allow the boy to leave the house
