be half-witted, appeared before Judge
Gibbs of department two Of the Supe-
rior court yesterday and asked that
some one be appointed as guardian to
protect him from attacks which he
claimed had been perpetrated upon
him by his father.
The story told by the boy, the officer
and a score of witnesses who appeared
in the case, did not speak well for
Richie, If he ever fell under the ban
of the SQUIRT
Supported by the statements of other
witnesses, the boy said that his fathehr
beat him numerically and thoroughly
once or twice day with rake handle,
a shovel or anything that he could lay
his hands on.
Witnesses stated that the swelling in
the welts on the lads back and shoul-

where she died two weeks ago.
The officer further testified that
Richie was wealthy and lived on East
Fifteenth street.
Father on Chain Gang
When the court asked where the re-
markable father and husband was, 50
that he might be brought into court
and admonished, Officer Zimmer said
that Richie was serving out sentence
on the chain gang on charge of dis
turbing the peace. The officer further
stated that the arrest on the charge
had been made because of Richie's ac-
tions at his wifes funeral when he and
a woman companion were alleged to
have tried to waltz in the same room
where the casket had been placed.

is ACQUITTED
OF WIFE'S CHARGE
PROVES HE TRIED TO CARE FOR
CHILDREN
Woman's Allegations That Her Hus-
band Forced Her to Live in a
Cow Shed Are Not Believed by
the Jury

After reciting In detail the long his
tory of his matrimonial woes, William
F. Jacks, a carpenter of Burke station,
was acquitted yesterday by jury IN
Justice Youngs township court or a
charge of non-support of his two little
children, filed against him by his Wire.
The trial of Jacks was more in the
order of a complete vindication of the
man than of trial, for there was prac-
tlcslly no evidence brought against
him, while he had witness after witness
to substantiate the fact that he had
always done the best within his power
to care for his wife and his little ones.
According to the story told by Jacks
yesterday, he was married four years
ago, and since then has had nothing
but trouble which he stated was
brought on simply through incompati-
bility and not through any fault of his
wife, for he refused to say anything
even his own defense that might tend
to even suggest that his wife had a
temper of her own.
Slept In Cow Shed

face.
Jacks was arrested and released on
bail The woman was also arrested,
and likewise furnished bail, but 1t is
now thought that the charge against
her will be dismissed.
Yesterday Jacks asked a jury trial,
and the jurymen were summoned. He
was the chief witness on his own be-
half and was allowed to take the stand.
He told the court that his wife had left
him, taking her babies with her; that
he had looked everywhere and had been
unable to find her, and that finally in
utter despair he had sent in an answer
to an advertisement asking for house,
keeper. At that time, according to his
statements, his home was filthy be-
cause of lack of care, he being away all
day at work, while the premises were
going to ruin
Woman Was Housekeeper
He told the jurymen that the only
woman he ever had I'm the house was a
paid housekeeper who had received his
answer sent to an advertisement pub
lished by her.
In speaking Of his wife he told the
court that later she had returned and
lived In the cow shed, that he had Of
fered her his home but that she had
refused to come back, and had refused
to let the children return to their fa-
ther, although they were In an uncared-
for condition. He testified that he had

Grasshoppers in a Glacier.

One of the small glaciers in Mon
tana is of especial interest on account
Of the fact that in the mass OF Ice
there are inlbedded two strata OF
grasshoppers, each about foot thick.
There are literally tons of grasshop-
pers in the ice, and the question nat
urally arises as to where they came
from.
The most obvious explanation is
that centuries ago two enormous
swarms in course Of migration were
caught in a snowstorm, chilled, and
buried in the snow, where they have
remained till now in a perfect state.

FUNERAL OF SAM JONES
Held in Big Tabernacle at Carriers.
vile Attended by 5000 People.
Touching Tributes Paid.

In the presence of an immense con
gregation, estimated at 5000 people
which gathered in the Sam Jones tab
ernacle, funeral services over the re
mains of Rev. Sam P. Jones were
conducted at Gainesville, Ca, Thurs
day afternoon.
Bishop Charles B. Galloway of Jack
son, Miss, presided. Addresses were
made by prominent churchmen and
evangelists who had assisted Mr..
Jones in his work all over the coun.
try. Most of them were bosom friends
and knew Mr.. Jones probably better
than did many people who lived in
Gainesville.
The morning trains brought in big
crowds from all sections of the state
and the south to add to the large
number of visitors who were already
present.
The funeral cortege left the Jones
residence shortly after o'clock and
proceeded to the Tabernacle only a
short distance away.
The honorary escort included dele
cations from the local Masonic and
knights of Pythias lodges, and pre-
ceded the hearse.
The board of school commissioners
met at the public school building
shortly before 2 o'clock and marched
in a body to the Tabernacle.
The children of both the white and
negro schools were marched to the
Tabernacle in separate bodies. A
large section of the Tabernacle had al
ready been set aside for the negroes.
Every seat was occupied and over
a hundred stood on the outside.
The singing was the most impres.
sive that had ever been heard in the
Tabernacle. The singers composing
the quartet had been co-workers with
Mr. Jones and were well known all
over the country.
Even nature was in accord with
the grief Of the city. The sky was
overcast with banks of dull, threaten.
ing clouds, which seemed at any mo-
ment ready to turn loose the full flood
Of their sorrow. Gainesville had the
silence of the sepmchre during the
entire day. Business was practically
suspended from early morning and in
the afternoon, during the hours con-
sumed by the memorial services, every
store in the city was closed.
