read My dear girl, 1 take my pen in
hand to write to you, hoping you are
well, as this departure leaves me-"
"These letters do not show the de-
fendant had thoughts of marriage" eX-
planned Attorney Michael j. Keane.
IF there had been any contemplation
of a wedding there would have been
such terms as: My sweet little tootsie-
wootsie, my love burns as 1 write and
so on, If 1 understand that love must
be established before marriage comes
about"
The large crowd that listened to the
hearing showed little interest in the
love letters, but the court room was
convulsed over the testimony of the de-
fendant.
Miss Calvin, on the stand, stated that
she had entered into contract to
marry Scanlon and that arrangements
had been made for the wedding at his
own suggestion. She sued on the
grounds that her affections had been
mistreated and that she had been hui
inflated and put to expense in prepar-
ing for the wedding which had been
broken off at the volition of Scanlon.
A number of witnesses for Miss Gal
vim testified to what they had heard
concerning the Galvin-Scanlon nup-
tials, but none of them testified to per-
sonal knowledge of the contract. where
fore the jury was instructed to weigh
their testimony according to what
bearing it had directly.
The jury was out two hours. 1t was
the first breach of promise case since
Senator Breckenridge was sued by
Miss Madeleine Pollard several years
ago. Miss Calvin was awarded a ver-
diet of $1O0.

THIEF FIGHTS A DOG
WITH STOLEN PENNIES
ESCAPES AFTER DESPERATE BAT.
TIE WITH BULL TERRIER
His Only Weapons Handful Of Cop
per Cents Which He Had Filched.
Thrown Into Brute's Face They
Keep Him at Bay

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, March "a handful of
pennies was the odd weapon a mid
night burglar was compelled to use in
desperate battle with small bull
terrier which had interrupted the thief
during the robbery of the store of the
dogs master, B. f. Secord, 6S56 Keefe
avenue. Many residents in the neigh
borhood were aroused by the con-
tinued barking of the dog, and they
witnessed the unique battle between
man and canine. They could see the
animal barking and swapping at the
stranger, while the latter continued to
keep the dog off by throwing pennies
into the animals face.
The dog proved the final victor, and
the burglar was compelled to take to
his heels, and after he was out OF sight
the animal proudly returned to the
store and stood guard at the open door
until his master arrived and relieved
him.
Investigation showed the burglar had
forced an entrance into the store by
climbing through q rear transom.
Dropping to the floor, he made his way
to the cash register, but secured moth
ing of more value than several hum
dred pennies. Just as he seized the
money the thief was surprised by the
Dull terrier.
Animal in Hot Pursuit
The burglar ran to the front door,
removed a bolt and dashed into the
street with the bull terrier in hot
pursuit. The animal was soon upon
the thief and biting savagely at his
legs. So vigorous was the dogs inter-
ference that the man was compelled
to halt.
The burglar then resorted to the use
of his stolen pennies as weapon.
He threw a bunch OF them into the
dogs face and started to run, but the
dog was close behind and repeatedly
the fugitive was compelled to stop and
each time he threw bunch of coppers
at the dog.
In the meantime the barking Of the
animal had aroused many of the resi-
dents in the neighborhood, and when
his ammunition became exhausted and
it became apparent the dog was to be
reinforced, the robber took to his heels
at full speed and succeeded in making
his escape.

C0RDUR0YS ARE A BADGE
University of Missouri Agriculture
Students Adopt New Style of
Dress as Their Own

Special to The Herald.
COLUMBIA, Mo-, March 3.-Students
of the agricultural college of the Uni
versity of Missouri have adopted cor
duroy trousers as a badge of their de-
partment. Practically every student
of the college, from short course stu
dents, commonly known as "short
horns" to seniors, wears trousers made
of this serviceable material.
The stores here that do a mail order
tailoring business have been besieged
the last few weeks with orders for cor
duroy trousers, and some of the far
mer' students have gone so far as to
procure and wear to the daily recita-
tions whole suits of the material. The
fad has met with the approval of the
other departments, especially the en-
gineering, with the result that many
other students have copied the dress of
the farmers" One fraternity, COM
posed largely of agricultural students,
recently turned into a mail order house
an order for twenty-five pairs of cor
duroy trousers

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, March 3.-"Everybody
works but Proudfoot. He hangs
round all day"
This was the plea of Mrs. M. A.
Clemmons, ATS Fulton street, in Justice
Grants court today, when she insti-
tuted proceedings to collect a board bill
amounting to $3.50. which she alleged
Proudfoot has owed her for six months.
To escape paying the amount Proud
foot, Mrs. Clemmons testified, escaped
from his room by using two sheets as
an improvised rope ana sliding to the
ground from the second story of the
boarding house.
What did you do with your trunk? 2"
asked the magistrate.
"He carried it on his back" broke
"That seems impossible" said the
magistrate.
His clothes were his only trunk" "
said Mrs. Clemmons.
Arthur H. Proudfoot admitted that
he escaped from his room by using
sheets as rope. He also admitted
owing the board bill. but said he OBJ
jected to paying it because his land
lady had served him with tough beef
steak for breakfast.
"I broke one of my teeth in trying
to chew the steak" ne said. ST told
Mrs. Clemmons she had to pay the
dentists bill. She refused, so I also
refused to pay for my room and
board"
After hearing the testimony Justice
Grant ruled in favor of the woman,
granting her a judgment of $3.50.
Proudfoot failed to pay and an assign
ment was entered against his salary.

NOT TO GET RAKE0FF.
Supreme Court Denies Extra Pay for
Reporting Proceedings.

Guthrie, Okla, Sept. 6.-The Okla
homa supreme court today decided
that under the laws of Oklahoma
county clerk cannot recover extra
compensation for his services in re-
porting the proceedings ofthe board
of county commissioners and trans
mitting the same to the official coun-
tv paper. The decision is Of great
interestto all the county clerks in Ok
lahoma.
In rendering the opinion, Judge
Burwell states that compensation of
county clerk in Oklahoma is limited
to his annual salary plus a sum not
to exceed 5000 for making out the
tax roll as may be allowed by the
board of county commissioners. The
ease is styled the board of county
commissioners of Garfield county,
against John +. Danley, and the low
err court decided that the clerk might
receive extra compensation. The SUI
preme court reverses this decision up
on appeal made by the county board.

AGAINST BOTH RED AND BLACK MEN.

The one surface object and purpose of the demo
orfac speakers and newspaper. in trying to mfame the
public mind on the subject of negro domination is, Of
COURSE to array the Indian vote against the republican
party because the NEGROES are naturally republicans in
political aGiioton but that there is a deeper purpose
below the surface is manifest from the slogan which
goes out in connection with the agitation that "his will
be a white mans state" Cross lines in box letters,
running the width of the democratic organs, have pro
claimed the fact that "Okahoma is to be white man 5
state" The spclbindes, invoking the inspiration of
race rrcjudcc,, have declared from the public platform
Of Eufaua Caddo Krcbs, and wherever the shrickers
have spiccd that "Oklahoma will be white man,
state" and they mean what they say If the democratic
party make it So, "Oklahoma will be white man S
state" against the Indian just the same against the
negro. Less candid than Senator Bailey when he de
carcd in the United States senate that in his action
upon territorial legislation, he had no concern whatever
for the Indian and only for the white man. the JrsgIer
for democratic votes in the Indian Territory carefully
avoid doing more than covering their text in shouting
that "Oklahoma will be white mau state =" and then
ringing the changes ON "uiggcr domination when the
question Of 93 per cent Of whites being dominated by
Z per cent of negroes is issue IN th, cam
pagn than the codes of the Mcdcs and the Pcrsaus
Thus warned the Indians will be quick to perceive
that the democrats idea of "whitc man, state" as
completely and as iucNorabIy excludes the Indian the
negro 1t states in les, blunt but less comprchen
sye force than did Senator Bailey, that the democratic
party. true to its record of oppression covering more
than third of ccutup's dealing with the Indian has
with him whatever in establishing democratic
a-ccnlency in the state beyond his vote accomplishing
that purpose. and feels concern only for vhte people
and democratic whites, at that. South McAlc,ler Cap
