Allegation

The police department and associated
charities we're appealed to yesterday to
settle the differences between Mrs.
Amanda M. Kiger, eighty-fve years old,
and her son-in-law, w. A. Ransom, 667
Rampant street. and the woman is now
in charge of the charity organization.
1t is the old, old story of mother-in-
law and a son-in-law who seem to be
unable to agree upon many essentials
to happy relations and the charity or
ganization has taken the aged woman
in charge as the seemingly best method
Of settling the differences between
them.
Mrs. Kiger was born in 1920 mid the
green fields of Virginia" and is a sturd;
specimen of proud aristocracy of the
south before the war" period. Dur
ing the strife between the north and
the south in the SOS, she linked her
sympathies and fortunes with that oe
the Dixie land and still clings to the
memory Of the past with cherished
fondness.
After the war she removed north of
the Mason and Dixon line and fol
years resided in Springfield, Ill. Two
months ago she accepted an invita-
tion from her daughter Mrs. Ransom,
to make her home with the family in
Los Angeles and the offer was ac-
cepted.
Differences are said to have arisen
between the mother and daughter and
the son-in-law 1t appears became in
volved to some extent. These differ
ences eliminated yesterday in the

Ba of Superior Court Fears Plot of Some Terrible
sin Until Harmless Telephone Battery
Is Revealed
Is Revealed

The scene Of conflict between the
hand and the nobility Of the land on
the other was transferred from the
snowy Businesses of the north yester-
day afternoon to department four of
the superior court, county of Los An
geles, and as a result rumor passed
through the corridors that Bailiff
George Conart of the department had
narrowly escaped being blown up by
Nihilist bomb.
The department during the quiet
hours of the afternoon was laboring
through the technicalities Of water
suit, and the attorneys for both sides
were stripping themselves of several
pounds Of compressed eloquence which
they had been burdened with for
the past few weeks and wanted to
get out of their systems.
At his desk toward the north wall of
the room, the bailiff was reading some
of the court records and wondering
how long it would be before the fiorid
raced man who sat near him would
find it necessary to again scratch his
ear.
Finds Supposed Bomb
Suddenly the bailiff moved his foot
to insure a more comfortable position,
and as he did so it struck something
which responded with dull, heavy
sound. The bailiff is descendant of
prominent house among the legisla-
tive nobility of Russia and in a flash
the old stories told him Of the horrible
deaths meted out to some of his dis
tant relatives flashed across his mind.

How to Maintain Strong Nerves

Shattered nerves is a very common
complaint during the summer months.
The ozone of the winter air on which
the nerves have been sustained during
the cold weather is missed.
The depressing effect of warm
weather depletes and weakens the
nerve centers.
This results In nervousness, and
sometimes complete nervous prostra-
ton.
Especially so with people who are
bloodless or in an overworked con-
dition.
Peruna is not a nerve medicine. but
1t does strengthen the nervous system
by assisting in the proper digestion of
food.
1t frees the mucous membranes of all
catarrhal taints, leaving the whole
digestive tract in a sound healthy con-
dition.
Good digestion makes good blood and
good blood makes strong nerves.

Slowly he looked and as his eyes
gradually became accustomed to the
gloom beneath his DESK he discovered
the object of terror.
A vicious appearing little instrument
Of galvanized iron rested snugly
against a corner of the desk. From
one end of the bomb two small fuse
wires, wrapped with prepared tape to
make the bomb as effective in water
as in air, appeared and as the officer
looked closer one Of the fuses seemed
to be moving as though the slow train
Of powder was gradually working to-
ward the heavy charge OF dynamite.
The bailiff secured a short leave OF
absence and left the room. Nearly all
the spectators were ranchmen and
therefore used to being blown up, but
the bailiff did not care to be initiated
into the mysteries Of the process. A
quiet rest of few minutes in the en-
virons Of the palace of Joseph. situated
near the court house, restored him and
he returned to see the effect of the ex-
ploSion.
The bomb was still in Its accustomed
place and Clerk Jack Wright was
searching through his desk in the hope
Of finding piece Of valuable evidence
which is to be used in a trial within
few days and which, for safe keeping,
he had placed beneath the bailiff' s
desk until he could lock it in a vault.
When called to the attention of
Wright, the clerk eagerly clutched the
once terrible bomb which, in fact. was
a defective make of telephone battery,
and fastened toward the vault with it..
