FORCED TO SIGN TIE ELL
Thirteen Year-Old Wife Repudiates
Her Signature TO an Application
for Divorce.


Paris, H., April II. = The divorce
case Of Pearl Ethel Harris vs.. Ernest
Harris. heard in the circuit court, de-
vGlOped a sensation when the GIRL tes-
titled that her signature to the bill of
complaint was secured by duress and
by reason of threats OH the part of
her parents. The marriage was an
elopement, contracted Dec. 81 last, the
girl being only - years old. She was
afterward restored to the custody of
her father under an order of court, and
has since been virtually a prisoner in
her home
During her testimony all parties on
both sides of the case We're, under or
der of Judge KimbrOugh, removed from
the room and locked i'll separate apart
ments of the court house, under guard
of special baillffs. Being assured OF
the courts protection, the girl then
repudiated the divorce bill and said
she had signed it because her father
had threatened to send her to the re-
form school if she failed to do so. She
still loved her husband and wanted to
live with him. The court subsequently,
warned the parents that any punish
ment of the girl because of her testi-
mony would be made very costly for
them. The case was taken under adj
viSement.

PRISONER SINGS FROM BALCONY;
TONES ENTRANCE MANY HEARERS

were waited in at the window. over
in one corner of the room, the little
widow in the case, sobbed audibly.
But in moment the song was ended
and the small crowd which gathered
about to hear the singing, applauded
loudly.
Then Lonesome Joe forgot himself.
Shows Grace Of a Master
He took off his hat as the crowd
applauded and stepping forward to the
edge Of the balcony over the court
house steps, made pleasant bow Of
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. The man in the
unsightly prisoners uniform leaned
far over the stone wall and sang "On
Billows Rolling" the tenor solo from
the Chimes of Normandy, and sang IL
with the same easy manner of the
scapegrace fisherman of the old mas
terpiece.
The sweet, clear tones floated far
out across the courtyard to the street
where scores OF persons stopped in
wonderment at the strange scene.
Up in Clerk Watson's room the BRIDE
to-be clasped the hand of the big man
who looked fondly at her.
The widow ceased her sobs and lis
tened intently to the unseen singer.
When Lonesome Joe finished the Sc
lection he was again greeted with a
round of applause from street, balcony
and windows. No one looked at the
ugly blue and brown clothes. The
hearers only saw a man with a won-
derful tenor voice.
The applause rose and died down,
then came in a strong wave Of sound
from an audience not to be denied.
Lonesome Joe's attitude and gestures
bespoke long experience before the pub
lie. He bowed his acknowledgements
with easy grace and again stepped to
the front of the balcony.
The audience waited expectantly for
the singer to begin.
Joe stood silently a moment. stepped
forward dramatically, his arms thrown
wide apart. At that instant Deputy
Sheriff Montgomery approached and
the singer half turned and exclaimed
"Oh. hell, I forgot"
The procession Of prisoners formed
a line and filed slowly back toward the
jail.

would gently fall upon the Just and
unjust of the southern section of the

British border and was central yes-
terday morning in North Dakota and
Montana. The rain or snow area ex-
tends from the Pacific coast, north OF
the Tehachapi. to the Missouri river.
Rain was falling at the observation
hour at San Luis Obispo and San Fran
cisco. Fair weather prevails in South
ern California and the conditions seem
favorable for continued fair weather
in this vicinity today, though with some
cloudlness.

QUALITY
Lonesome Joe, Trusty From County
Jail, Sings ION BilIows Rolling"
to Mixed Audience at
Court House

Lonesome Joe is over six feet tall
and broad of chest. Joe stood on the
north steps of the county court house
yesterday and looked with disdain at
the passing crowds while he waited for
deputy sheriff to take him back to
his cell in the county Jail.
Among his friends of the jail, the
man is known as Lonesome Joe and
whatever his name was to the civilized
world somewhere back east is, accord
ing to his statements, none of any ones
business.
The man was one of number of
TRUSTEES who for the past two weeks
have been repairing the detention home
and when they assembled on the steps
late yesterday afternoon after their
days work, Lonesome Joe occupied
The most prominent position on the
stairway.
"Can any of you fellows sing some"
he said as he swung his feet over the
stone balustrade. Three of his COM
panions volunteered as members of
the quartet and my Bonnie Lies Over
the Ocean," was decided upon as the
proper song.
Form lmpromptu Quartet
The other three tramps had good
baritone and bass voices and in a mo-
ment the sweet refrain from the old
song was echoing and re-echoing
through the corridors of the court
house.
In the marriage license office twenty
feet away, a young couple stopped,
listened and then as the clear Bring
back, oh bring back my Bonnie to me-
came floating to them, led by tenor
voice of remarkable sweetness, they
held hands and sided hopefully up
to Cupid Watson's desk.

attorneys were wrangling over a will

Chairman Smith Of Finance Commit

Lamps

It hurt worse than the toothache, but
"Uncle" George Smith. chairman of the
finance committee, was yesterday COM
PEELED to tell Tax Collector johnson to
take the s1725 levied against Central
park out of the general fund. "Uncle'
George Smith could do no less, as 1t
was chiefly through his motion that
this sum was assessed against the park,
when the ornamental lamp posts for
Hill street were allowed by the coun-
Gil.
with a large provisional deficit star
ing the city in the face Financier Smith
can hardly bear to see one penny of
city funds expended for things not
considered in the general municipal
budget and there were lines of distress
on his face when he told the tax COL
lector to draw on the general fund.
The mayor vetoed the ordinance pro-
viding for the lighting of Hill street
with an ornamental system and when
the ordinance was returned to the coun-
Gil Uncle George was the first to move
reconsideration and the passage of
the ordinance, notwithstanding the
mayors veto.
The chairman of the finance commit
tee held off as long as he could, but
the assessment becomes delinquent to-
day and the tax collector declared he
would add the 10 per cent penalty If it
was not paid in time. This declaration
brought the watchdog of the treasury
around to the tax collectors office
early yesterday morning and the ques-
tion of the payment of the assessment
was settled. No steps have been taken
to provide for the assessments against
the police and fire departments and it
is expected that as these are merely
nominal these departments must bear

Persis, ward of the latee Spencer
Baird of the Three Bars, rose from the
stiffened form and glanced about with
white face. She was only two weeks
from boarding school, but In those two
weeks things had happened. Spencer
Baird had had bitter quarrel with his
son and had disowned him and then
had sent a peremptory summons for
his ward. wishing to see her before he
died, the telegram stated.
In this short space she had made the
long journey, cared for the dying man
as she could and, against her protest,
been made heiryss of the Three Bars
and the other property and now, death
coming suddenly, she was alone on the
ranch, with all the cowboys watching
the herds at the dry season bottom
lands, days journey away The own
er had been too Ill for removal, so had
been left to her care and the cooks,
and the cook, seeing his opportunity,
had loaded horse with booty and rid
den away. Persis did not discover 1t
until the man was a mile from the
ranch house, and then her guardian lay
dying.
As she rose from the motionless form
she hesitated moment, then went out,
closing the door reverently behind her.
1t might be two days, perhaps three,
before any of the cowboys would re-
turn, and she must have help.
The corral was only a few yards
away, and in 1t was a well broken
horse which had been given her by
Spencer Baird. She had only a vague
idea of the cowboys position, the d.
rection and that it was a days journey
with herds, and from few words Of
the cook she knew there was a small
frontier town off that way somewhere,
but whether this side OF beyond the
dry season bottom she did not know.
Another thing she did not know, and
that was the f1ckleness Of the Dakota
weather. Though late in October, it
was like June morning when she
started across the prairie Two hours
later a chill Whit Of wind touched her
lightly and there was haziness blur

Ruling Switzerland.

In Switzerland they have no idea
that they are essentially idiots and
must have great men and superior and
divinely gifted intellects to rule them
and tell them what to do about their
affairs. They do not think much Of
ruling" in Switzerland nor much q
the idea of diyinely gifted intellects.
All are great men In Switzerland, and
one is as great and as divinely gifted
as another. To the Swiss mind the
great men are those that do something
in science or literature, like Agassiz Of
De Saussure; but they have no part1c-
ular fancy to be ruled" by anybody,
however great. You will find many an
intelligent Swiss that cannot tell you
the name Of the president Of Switzer-
land. He knows the name of the presi-
dent Of the United States, always, but
he does not know who Is at the head
of his own country. Not because thA
interest he takes in his political affairs
is small, for it is very great; but be-
cause who may be president of Switz-
erland is not important. Whoever he
is, he amounts to nothing, he effects
nothing, he rules nothing. The only
rulers of Switzerland are the Swiss
people.-Everybody's Magazine.

A Texas correspondent tells Law
Notes" how an obstinate juryman was
circumvented by his fellow judges of
the facts. The offence charged was as
sault with intent to murder. After the
jury had been out about two hours
they returned the following verdict:
1--WE, the jury, find the defendant
guilty of aggravated assault, and as
sess his punishment at $25 fine, and
herewith pay the fine" On inquiry as
to the meaning Of the last clause of the
verdict, 1t came out that eleven of the
jurors had agreed that the defendant
was not guilty, but the twelfth logged
ly hung out for conviction for aggra-
waited assault, and would not consent
to punishment less than fine of $25
Finding 1t a hopeless task to bring
over the obstinate one to their way of
thinking, the eleven finally decided to
agree with him, and "chipIsd in"
enough to pay the fine
