fight started caused a panic in the
theatre and brought the police in a
hurry.
The theatre crowd tumbled out to
find two men on the sidewalk running
blood and a dead man in the theatre.
and the combatants scurrying away in
different directions supporting several
staggering figures. Detectives are still
making searching inquiries among the

nation Of the motto In God We
Trust from the coin Of the United

upon II because OF the same reasons
assigned by the President. The motto
is too sacred to be used upon any coin,
since It would tend to bring IL into
commercialism and irreverence. It's
use has a tendency TO ,belittle the mot

for instance. IN political and financial

being done in any less spirit Of rev.

the superior court in an effort to secure
separation from her husband, Carl j.

on the ground of desertion October is,
1907, before Judge Bordwell, claiming that
her husband had left her ever a year
ago, ostensibly to go on trip to Tono-
pah, New, and had never returned.
She claimed at the time that she and
her little son were left without means,
and she firmly believed that her hus-
band never intended to return to them.
1--WE never quarreled and he had no
reason for abandoning my son and me-"
said Mrs. Lemon at the time of the trial.
Judge Bordwell could not see that there
was a clear case of desertion, but at the
same time did not wish to refuse her an
opportunity to secure redress. He al
lowed the plaintiff to withdraw the case
in order to bring in an amended com
plant on other grounds, such as nom
support.
The amended complaint came into the
superior court yesterday, it being filed

Confessed

35 cents, but instead of doing so Athena
is said to have drawn knife and stabbed
Stevens in the right hand.

streets and was taken to the receiving
hospital. There his injuries were dressed
and report of the robbery was taken.
According to the arresting officers, AL
tena told them he had expended 20 cents

turned the remaining Is cents. The stolen
money was all in pennies.
