The electrical cooking display given
by the Craighead company. at their
store on Main street is attracting a
great deal of attention and is Great
ing much comment among the women
of the city. Electricity is being used
as fuel and is doing more in this line

All the tests made with cooking uten-

probably better results are obtained
than through any other means Chat

elites are being tested. and the same
degree of efficiency illustrated in the

rounds the work of the novelties. A
large crowd was in the store all day
today watching the tests.

LON MONTGOMERY
DESERTS HIS FAMILY
Young Farmer Departed Sud-
denly Leaving Wife and
Child Without Means.
WARRANT FOR HIS ARREST.
WIFE HAS GONE TO HOME OF
HER FATHER-SHE is STILL DE-
VOTED TO HUSBAND AND
WOULD HARDLY PROSECUTE.
WARRANT FOR HIS ARREST.

The police were notified today of
the arrest of Alonzo Montgomery, a
young farmer residing south of this
city, who is wanted here for desertirg
to Wabash last week, expecting the
man would show up in that city as
he has relatives there. He will be
brought to Richmond at once and if
he refuses to support his young wife
and baby he will be prosecuted.
Montgomery is % years of age and
over six feet in heighth. For some
time prior to his leaving the county
the man had been employed IS a Ia
borer Jon the farm of Harry G. Miller,
well known farmer living on the
Boston pike. Montgomery and his
wife and child lived in a little ahack
on the Miller farm. His wife is only
1a years old and the baby is just three
weeks old. When Montgomery desert
ed his family the baby was quite i'll
and the police say that Mrs Mont
gomery had no money or food in the
house.
Goes to Fathers Home.
Mr.. Miller had been depending en-
Montgomery to assist him on The farm
this spring. When Montgomery sud
denly left for parts unk lowa he had
to get another man and his wife TO
assist in the farm work and to make
room for them, Mrs Mont gomery apd
her sick child had to leave the shack
and go to the home of her father who
lives near the Miller farm and whose
home is small and poorly adapted for
additional tenants
Mrs. Montgomery is still devoted to
her husband, despite his actions and
she told the officials who investigated
her case that she was certain Aionzo
did not desert her for another woman.
She said she supposed ne Just wanted
a change and that she knew he would
come back to her as soon as he t.-ei
of wandering. 1t is very doubtful if
Mrs. Montgomery would appear
against her husband in case the au-
thorities decide to prosecute him.

Breach Between Municipal
Body and Its Attorney
Has Been Widened.
CAN'T BE A DICTATOR.
HOWEVER, 1T SEEMS TO BE GEN
ERAL IMPRESSION THAT MR..
STUDY WAS RIGHT IN HIS TRAc-
TiON CONTENTION.

City Attorney It. J. Study is still very
pending the Main street freight car or
dinance for period of one month. Mr..
Study admits that Mayor Schillinger.
by holding up the suspension ordi-
nance for ten days and then placing
his veto on it. can make the measure
ineffective. but that does not cool his
Indignation against the city fathers.
Mr. Study states that he is afraid the
traction officials will gain the impress
sion that they can make monkeys of
the council. He also accuses council
of having no backbone.
Just when a satisfactory agreement
between the city and the traction COM
pany was about to be made, council in
terferes and now it is probable that ev-
erything will end in farce" bitterly
complained the city attorney. He is
about ready to give up the fight.
Are on a War Footing.
The breach between the city attor-
ney and council, which started last fall
when he fought the appropriation for
Reid Memorial hospital has been grad
ually widening and at the present time
council and Mr.. Study are on war
footing.
Council resents the efforts of the city
attorney to dictate what it shall and
shall not do and council loses no op-
portunity in handing it OUT to the
city's legal adiser. One of the coun-
cilmen states that he hopes Mr.. Study
will soon awake to the fact that he
cannot ride council with whip and
spur.
Can't Dictate to Council.
MIR. Study may run the mayor,
board of public works and some other
departments of city government, but
He cannot dictate to republican coun-
ell" said this councilman. ..He takes
as active part in debates at council
meetings as the councilmen do them
seles Eery action brought before
council brings Mr. Study to his feet,
telling us what we shall or shall not
do Council has been very patient with
the city attorney. but he cannot con-
tinue these tactics much longer.
Hint to the Attorney.
1t is generally regarded that coun-
Cif's action Monday night in suspend
ing the Main street freight car ordi-
nance was a sassy" method on the
part of council in telling Mr.. Study to
attend to his knitting and offer adj
ice when asked for. However, it seems
to be the general impression that in
his fight with council Monday night,
the city attorney was in the right.
