And now, in an orderly way, He flies on the fleetest of pinions. l And carries the news of the day All over his masters doninions. One morning while taking 3 stroll
 He heard iugubrious cry, Like the shriek of 8 suffering soul In hospital standing near by. Anon such 2. terrible groan
 Saluted St. Jonathan's ear That his bosom--which wasn't of
 Was melted with pity to hear. That night he invented a charm
 So potent that folks who employ it, In losing d leg or an arm.
 Don't suffer. but rather enjoy it! A mira cle, you must allow.
 As good as the best of his brothers. And blessed St. Jonathan now
 Is patron of cripples and mothers. There's many an excellent saint:
 St. George, with his dragon and

OFFICERS DELAY CAUSES
INNOCENT MANS ARREST
Warrant Recalled in Santa Paula is
Served on w. G.
Purcell


Through the neglect of the Santa
Paula, Cal, officers to recall a warrant.
w. C. Purcell was arrested in Los An
geles yesterday afternoon by Detectives
Murphy and Sharon on a charge of
grand larceny.
Marshal Baker of Santa Paula, who
arrived in Los Angeles last night, in
formed the police that since the lssu-
ance of the warrant for PurcelPs arrest
1t has been learned that the case is one
of mistaken identity. No complaint Will
be made against Purcell in Santa Paula.
Baker explained that the complainant
i'm the warrant has expressed his desire
to recall the charge, as he has learned
that he was mistaken in his man, but
owing to severe illness he has not been
able to appear before the proper
authorities. After this information the
officers of Santa Paula took no further
measures to recall the warrant and con-
sidered it dead letter, but did not in
form the police department of Los An
geles to this effect.
1t will be necessary to take Purcell
back to Santa Paula, where he will be
arraigned on the grand larceny charge
of stealing a watch, and then discharged
in the regular manner.

WOODBRIDGE TROUBLES AIRED
Counter Charges of Cruelty Cause Puz=
zling Complications

AS the last chapter in the domestic
troubles of Prof. Samuel M. Wood
bridge, the South Pasadena chemist,
suit for divorce was instituted against
him yesterday by Mrs. Edith G. Wood =
bridge before Judge Oster, sitting in
department of the superior court
The case has been one of the most
sensational in the history of South
Pasadena and there was a large at
tendance at the trial yesterday. Ac-
cording to the allegation of Prof. Wood
bridge, he is the ill used party to the
suit, although his wife is the plaintiff.
He asserts that his mother-in-law and
wife conspired to trump up a crimina |
charge against him on which he wa s
compelled to stand trial.
Mrs. Woodbridge declares that her
husband has been cruel. According to
the complaint Woodbridge is charged
with having told his mother-in-law she
had reared "a hard bunch" of girls. He
Indignantly denied the statement on the
stand yesterday. According to his
statement he went to, his mother-in-
laws house to obtain an audience with
his wife, but when she saw who was at
the door she slammed in his face. and
his hand, held out to prevent such
action, crashed through the glass This
formed the basis for an assault charge
in the Pasadena courts.
Other difficulties marred their mar
rled life and now both want divorce
the woman on the allegation that her
husband was extremely cruel to her
and the man that his wife was cruel t.
him. This forms peculiar complica tions
in the suit, as Judge oster has ruled
that if both prove cruelty honors will
be even and neither shall have a
divorce.

MRS. PATTON ASKS DIVORCE
FOR NOVEL CAUSE
SAYS HER HUSBAND IS LAZY
Plaintiffs Case is Strengthened by
testimony Of an Old Soldier,
Who Is Witness for
Defendant
SAYS HER HUSBAND is LAZY

Because a woman is married to a
man is that any sign she is compelled
to treat that man like a baby, wash
him and trim his nails for him?" asked
the indignant Mrs. Margaret A. Patton
in reciting her troubles to Judge Bord-
well yesterday morning.
The woman was suing for a divorce
from Michael Patton, an old soldier,
and her complaints were many. They
were married in 1878 and some time ago
went to live in Santa Monica, so that
Patton could be near the Soldiers home
at Sawtelle.
The trouble started a short time after
the move west and Mrs. Patton says
that she was compelled to bathe her
husband. That was only a small part
of the difficulty. according to the
numerous allegations, and the plaintiff
further accused her husband of trying
to kill her.
Il was afraid of my life when that
man was around" shouted the excited
woman, and one of the attorneys said:
Madam, do you talk to your husband
that way?'

Yes, when he needs It," was the
reply. "My husband has always abused

Socialists, but fooled him and 1t still

Patton had a number of witnesses
from the Soldiers home to testify in his
defense. One of these witnesses caused
surprise when asked about Pattons
habits. The old soldier cast one look
at Patton and then became indignant.
Turning to Judge Bordwell, he said:
''That fellow Patton is the LATEST

ANOTHER DOUGLAS MINE.

Douglas, AriZ, Oct -(Special)-
 The nternationaEAmerica is in receipt of information to the effect that soon another important copper property will be employing a large force in its development and that the headquarter offices of the com pany will be maintained in Douglas.
 The company is the Belen Copper Company, and is composed of num- Der of wealthy IhiA owners in the city of Minneapolis, hr. Bassett, a we'll known mining I1aa who has been ope- rating in SonOso for number of years, will be in charge of this new en- terprise and he is now in Minneapolis completing arrangements for the be- ginning ot the development work.
 This company owns a vast mineral tract twenty-five miles west of Cum pas, which will be reached from that point by an extension of the Transvaal wagon road from the Verde mine to the Belen properties, a distance of six miles. The building of the six miles of road will be a heavy expense, but it is entirely feasible, and when done will be of the most permanent char acter.
 The work on the property and the road will be started at an early date and it is learned that 100 men will be employed al the beginning. This company will add considerably to the trade of Douglas. and everybody in this city will wish the enterprise sue cess

NEH FLAMING MILL
 NEARLY COMPLETED
DOUGLAS LUMBER COMPANY TO SOON HAVE ONE IN
 OPERATION.

Douglas. Ariz.. Oct. (SpecialD-
 The Douglas Lumber Company is rapidly completing the erection of a blaming mill, which wlll undoubtedly prove a paying investment. The mill is located in the lumber yard. just back of the office, and will be com pletely equipped. The machinery to be installed at first aside from the necessary boilers and engines, will be a planer, a sticker. a rip saw and a lathe. As business iusJifies it a full equipment of band and jig saws will also probably be added.
 Thls, being the only blaming mill in the city. will probably do all Ihe Lds f. ness in this line that the building o. erations, which are now heavy. will require. A great saving in expense to the contractors will also accrue by having their work done at home, as much of the lumber now in use must be redressed after shipment in order to take out the defects caused by handling in transportation.

 MAY BE MURDERED

Douglas. Ariz., Oct. 21.-( (Special.)-
 It was rumored on the streets to- day that James Durnal, formerly con- stable in Douglas. had been murdered near the city of Chihuahua. Mexico No verification of the rumor was pos sible. however. and it may be a canard 1t is said that the account of his death was published in the Cananea Herald last week, but this is a mistake so far as the edition which was sent to Douglas is concerned. It may be how ever, that a later edition of the Can anea weekly contained the story.
