OCEAN BATHS IN NOVEMBER
Philadelphia Crank Indicted for Try
ing His Theories on His
Six Children.

Chicago. Dec. "a dispatch to the
Tribune from Philadelphia says:
Thomas Wister Brown, who is rich and
the father of six children, has theories on
the rearing OF boys and girls which in
volve ocean baths in November and bare
foot strolls over the December snow. For
this reason he is under Indictment at
Ocean Grove. on eight charges of cruelty
and number of prominent Phlladelphl-
ans have become kidnapers, in that they
have stolen the six children and keep
them concealed from their father
The kidnapers are relatives of the
Brown and Wster families. which are
among the weaIthiest and most prominent
in Philadelphia They are determined to
keep the children until the courts enjoin
the father from forcing icy baths and
icier walks upon them. Also the rela-
tives and the children's mother contend.
the court shall decide whether or not it is
cruel to force the children to learn chap
tiers of the Bible by heart.
Mr. Brown declares that he wishes to
see his children have strength to plunge
into the ocean all winter. if necessary.
and he does not think that in giving
them this training he is being other than
kind
Soon after Brown was indicted Mrs.
Brown and the six children left his resi-
dence at Ocean City and took refuge with
relatives here Brown has appealed to
the police to find them.

Every Man Entitled to Trial.

The regulations prescribed that no man
could be summarily discharged without
a right to be tried, and the articles of
war, he argued, prescribed infinitely how
these trials are to be conducted; that all
punishments should be in accordance wi.a
the directions of courts-martial. He con-
tended. after reading at length from the
articles OF war, that il was lnconceivable
that the president should be absolutely
without restraint.
The president, he said. stated in his
message that these soldiers were guilty
OF mutiny and had been discharged for
that reason. He followed this with the
article of war providing that "A court
martial Should direct this punishment

THE HAVING SEASON AT
LOVELOCK SOON TO
BEGIN


The haying season is about to begin
in the Lovelock valley and from pres
ent indications the supply of men to
handle the crop will be short.
While there are some fields that are
spotted and injured by the frosts, still
the aggregate of the crop will be
heavy, especially in the lower part of
the valley, and there is every reason
to expect an abundant second crop.
Cutting of the first crop will begin in
about a week and there is not the
usual number of laborers gathering in
town for the work. there are usually
200 or 800 extra men employed in this
valley during the haying season. When
the railroad and government work was
going on between here and Reno the
men would come by hundreds about
this time, and be ready to take up the
work Of baying as soon as the crop was
matured. But some other field of labor
has drawn them this season. At any
rate, they are not here in the usual
numbers, and if there are any idle men
about Reno, ~able-bodied and willing to
work in the hay field, they had better
come this way.
