LAWSON OUT OF 1T.
Only Three Candidates Left in Sheriff
Race.

Carl w Lawson last night an
nounced his withdrawal from the race
for sheriff. His action was a distinct
surprise. but the spirit of pulling out
of the sheriff's race seems to be in the
atmosphere But three candidates
are still left and all are from the First
ward. They are John Wilkerson, G..
W. Belts, and Rome Colvin.
Lawson has little explanation for his
withdrawal. He issued the following
card for publication:
''TO the public:
After a careful review of the po-
litical situation in this county I have
come to the conclusion that I can pro
mote harmony in the Republican
party by Withdrawing from the race
for the office of sheriff.
Il am not unappreciative Of the
loyal support so many kind friends
have rendered me, and I will place
myself at their service at all times.
Respectfully,
CARL w. LAWSON
Originally there were six candidates
for the Office. James w Gibbons
withdrew on the day the entries
closed. John D. Norton, considered
by many to have an extraordinary
chance, pulled out a week ago Last
night Lawson quit. COIvin, Belts and
Wilkerson are left. The winner will
probably be determined by the process
Of elimination if enough time is still
left before the primaries.

They toll from o'clock in the morn

smoke, steam and CRIME, and they get
on an average less than $1.25 a day.
They are known as "coremakers.
They WELD hammers over anvils

down with hammers weighing about
eight pounds.
At the proper time, when it becomes
necessary to turn these patterns,
weighing In some cases half ton
completely over, the work is done by
the women, who put forth all their
strength in the effort and are breath

Marriage Was a Society
Event

The domestic troubles Of Mr.. and Mrs
Henry l.. Randall wealthy Pasa-
dena couple, were aired in court yester-
day. when the case came up before
Judge James on an order to show cause
why $500 counsel fees and a consider
able amount of alimony should not be
paid to the plaintiff, Mrs. Randall
during the tendency of the action.
A surprise was given the counsel for
the plaintiff when the aged father OF
Mr.. Randall testified that the handsome
Pasadena home which 1t was claimed
that he gave to his son and daugnter-
in-law was purchased by the defendant,
note being given in payment, indorseu
by the father The attorneys for Mrs.
Randall asked for more time to meet
this allegation and the case was con-
tinued.
The complaint of Mrs. Mary Randall
accused the husband, Henry Randall,
OF many acts of alleged cruelty. the
couple were married in Pasadena sew
eral years ago and It was one of the
society events of the season. AFTER
boarding in a fashionable tourist hotel
the couple went to live in a beautiful
home which is valued at $4,000.
Saws Husband Was Parsimonious
Mrs. Randall says that her husband
soon made her wish that she had never
seen him and that he was very penurl-
Gus and accused her Of using too much
coal in the kitchen range and often
consolidated with her because the SER
want used too much hot water and con-
sumed altogether too much fuel III
warm weather.
She complained that on a trip to their
former home in Canton, o., he per-
sisted in nagging and swearing at her
for her lack of education and declared
he was ashamed to introduce her to his
former friends. Finally, she claimed
that the actions of her husband made
her i'll and that she had to have the
care of q physician
Robert S. Randall. the aged father of
the defendant, went on the stand and
said that the beautiful Pasadena home
was purchased by the son, payment
being made by note which he had in
dorsed for his son. He denied that Mrs.
Randall had any title to the place and
said that his sons marriage had been a
most unhappy one.
Admits She Is Not Poor
Mrs. Randall testified thct her hus-
band had always held himself out to
be a. wealthy man and that after mar
rage she found that his father had
supplied much of the money. She re-
garded the Pasadena place as partly
hers and said that she only had $15 left
of her own.
on cross-examination, however, she
admitted she had $1,000, mostly loaned
out to relatives, and that she owned
farm in Illionois.

his money did your" was asked by the
attorney for the defendant.
