IS DISCHARGED.

Was the Aggressor

BILLY" Noble was discharged this
afternoon by Judge Huffman after the
court had heard the evidence In the

.SP|TEFUL ACT
OF ONE WOMAN
Stirring Scene in Court Over
Fight for Baby

Two women, with tears streaming
down their faces and fighting bitterly
for the possession of a child, was the
scene which met the gaze of Judge
Brents in the superior court this after
noon. The judge had a much easier
task than Soloman HAD to decide in a
somewhat similar case many hundreds
of years ago, when it seems people had
much the same disputes to settle as
are settled in the courts in the era of
flying machines.
When Mrs. Matte. Badger was
awarded the little baby son for whom
she travelled half way across the state
and for whose sake she has been liv-
ing on one scanty meal day and
sleeping in Is cent beds in order to
keep alive while taking her case to the
courts, Mrs Thomas Hedrick and her
husband began to pull off the little
fellows clothes.
A pretty pink jacket and bonnet
went before the mother could take her
child and the enraged people were try
ing to take the little white shoes which
the mothers money had bought when
the court interfered and the loving
mother with the innOcently sweet anc
smiling face of one of the prettiest
babies that ever gladdened a home
snuggled fondly to her breast left the
court room murmuring all the endear-
ing and seemingly meaningless words
known to mothers the world over.
The Hedricks also left the court
room carrying with them the baby
clothes which they could not use
themselves but, like the dog in the
manger, kept anyway. Mrs. Hedrck' S
alligator tears might have produced
some sympathy for her if she had not
shown her smallness in grabbing the
little childs jacket and bonnet
Mrs. Badger will return to the little
town of Quincy, in Douglas county,
where she already has three children
to take care of and will continue to
earn bread for the family by taking in
washing.
