PROPOSED IN HIS SLEEP.
Such is Simon Brandt's Defense
Brooch Of Promise Suit.

Brecch OF Promise Suit.
Cherokee. July 10.-The claim that
he must have been talking in his sleep
and consequently without volition on
his part, Is the novel defense offered
by Simon Brandt, wealthy bachelor,
|. to the breech Of promise suit by Miss
Katherine Crippen. Miss Crippen de-
clares that he proposed to her, and
that she accepted. Brandt does no.
enter a complete denial, but says that
he has no recollection of making over
lures of marriage to her.
Miss Crippen sets forth In her claim
that one night while the two were en-
sconced on the settee in her parlor,
Brandt proclaimed his love for her, and
declared that life would be worthless
unless she consented to become his
wife. She declares that she had n sim
liar feeling, and promptly accepted his
offer. Not only this, but that she told
her friends and had begun preparations
for the ceremony, when Brandt enter
ed q remonstrance, claiming that he
had never entertained any such
thoughts. AS result OF the ignomy
that his action has placed her in. she
declares that her nervous system has
been sorely affected and that It can on
" be ameliorated by the carrying out
OF his promise or the payment Of $685.

Brandt does not propose to have
either done. He declares that he found
the occasional company Of Miss Grip
pen a relief from the monotony Of life,
and believes that his time was sim
liar relief to her dreary existence. as
he claims that there was no competi-
ton for her favors. He says that he
had no intention nor has ever had any
idea Of. leading other than life Of
single bliss.
However, he recognizes now the dan :
gers Of the time he spent with Miss
Crippen being wrongfully interpreted
by the gossips and a jury. and he sets
forth his novel reasons of how he may
have unwittingly inspired the girl with
aspirations Of matrimony.
He declares that II is an established
fact that living alone leads to talking
to ones self, and that in time this
grows and results In talking In the
sleep. He declares that he Is a victim
of this habit, and unfortunately falls
asleep at inopportune times and does
things or talks Of matters that he has
no remembrance Of when awake.
Brandt acknowledges sitting UP one
night until after midnight with
Miss Crippen and fears that during the
evening he may have fallen asleep and
while in the nap may have proposed.

the temperance pledge, for at the state
bar meeting, which convenes here
July 10, there will be no liquors served

made that the members--that is. few
Of them-fail to preserve the dignity
OF the occasion.
The entertainment committee in Des
Moines has, accordingly, decided that
all the Iowa lawyers shall have to
drink within the association is punch
from bowl which will be presided
over by Charles Bradshaw, a temper
ance member of the local bar. And
members OF the committee have stated
that the punch will be SO weak that
there can come no harm, no matter
how much is drunk.
