CHILD DESERTER
GIVEN SENTENCE
LARUE CALMES IS SENT TO
CHAIN GANG
Unfortunate Woman Gets Good Home
for Herself and Babies Through
Publicity Given to Case
by The Herald

Mrs. Lillian Gaines, who is now liv-
ing in Chatsworth Park, was pleased
when she heard that her husband,
Larue Gaines, had been sentenced to
the chaingang for five months by 20
lice Judge Chambers because he de-
serted her with her two children. Larue,
aged 2 years and Dean, aged months,
leaving them in destitute circum-
stances and sick.
Her greatest good fortune, however,
she says, she owes to The Herald be-
cause through the story of her pttiful
condition which it printed she was Of
fered a position as housekeeper by A.
o. Davidson of Chatsworth Park She
accepted the place and is now taking
care of her children and five children
of his. Davidson says that his wife
left him and his children and when he
saw that Mrs. Gaines husband had
left her he made her the offer to act
as his housekeeper
Mrs. Gaines left for Chatsworth Park
before the time set for the hearing of
her husbands case and she was unable
TO appear against him. Mrs r. Reed
of $50 Gladys avenue, who took care
of the woman and her children, told the
story of the desertion to the Judge.
She said: 1.-THE couple lived formerly
in Anaheim and it was there that
Gaines deserted his wife. She was sick
at the time. Soon afterward the chill
dren, one of which is six months old
the other two years old, were taken
sick with typhoid fever. Mrs Gaines
sold her furniture and with the little
money she received came to me. She
came to my house a month ago. At
that time she was hardly able to walk
and the children were almost dead from
starvation. 1 tried TO take care of her
and the children. The husband never
gave her cent while she was with
me-"
Gaines was unmoved when he heard
of the sufferings of his wife and his
two children. He entered plea of
guilty and offered the excuse that his
back had been wrenched and he could
not work.
Judge Chambers sentenced him 20
five months on the chalngang where he
will have to do hard work. An exam
ination made i'm the court room by Po-
lice Surgeon Freedman did not bear
out the statement that his back was
injured.
In speaking of the case Mrs. Gaines
said:
II am glad he was sentenced to serve
on the chaingang. While was lying at
home suffering from sickness and with
out anything to eat he hung around
pool rooms and spent his money for
drinks. He deserved what he got and
/ think that he should have received a
heavier sentence. The judge gave him
as much as he could, think, and am
satisfied"
Gaines was arrested in a pool room
on Main street last Thursday after his
wife had made complaint against

Not spread Smallpox.

J. B. jackson, of Tarfork, claims
that threats have been made against
the life of.his son, Eli Jackson, by per-
sons who claim that the latter, who
had smallpox while at Evansville last
December, ran away from that city
and went to Tarfork and caused his
brother, Marion Jackson, to have the
disease, making a quarantine, and
the inconyenl ences connected with il,

the effect that his son was In the
proper condition to leave that city.
Young Jackson returned to Tarfork,
on December 25, from Evansville.
His brother, Marion Jackson, was
taken i'll with smallpox in February.
The latter had been wearing a coat
that belc nged to the former while he
was in Evansville but which had teen
disinfected by the authorities The
father is OF the opinion that the coat
spread the disease, in which case mis-
son is vindicated, as the coat was dis

Young jackson was persuaded to
leave home and go to Evansville by a
