legal rights and demand proof OF the genuine

WILLIAM MILLS
GRANTED DECREE
OF DIVORCE

William Mills easily proved his
case today and was granted his free
dom from Katherine Mills, to whnln
he had been married nine days. That
she had been cruel to him aad had
caused him great mental anguish
there was no doubt and the case went
by default, the bride failing 10 pnt
in an appearance.
Mills told his troubles to Judge
Brown and it was evident that he
had had many during his few days of
married bliss. The rosy path of
matrimony was full of thorns and int
pediments and he was delighted to
return to the blessed life of a bach
elor
Joseph Calvin corroborated Mills
testimony concerning the ability of
Mrs. Mills when it came to throw
ing plates, cups and saucers, cooking
utensils and hair brushes at her hus-
band. He knew because he had seen
the missiles as they came crowding
over toward the bridegroom.
That Mrs. Mills imbibed too free
ly was testified to by Joseph Ratch-
ISIS. There was sufficient evidence to
justify the court granting the sepa-
ration and the clerk was instructed
to make an entry accordingly.

ANOTHER VICTIM OF
THE UNLOADED GUN

SAN FRANCISCO, June 21.-Shot
dead while he was making mud
pies" with his sister, Max Diller, a
7-year-old boy living at 1415 Deyisa-
dero street, was claimed yesterday
afternoon as another victim of the
"unloaded" gun, says the San Fran
cisco Examiner.
Arnold J. Wichs, 4 years old, held
the shotgun that fired the fatal
charge of buckshot into the body of
the child. Wichs brought the gun
from his home and was cleaning it III
preparation for the Fourth of July
in an alley adjoining his mothers
restaurant at 1907 Devisadero street.
Several other children of the neigh
borhood were playing in the alley,
among them Max Diller and his sis
ter.
Wichs worked industriously pol
ishing the shotgun and forcing a
piece of waste down the barrel.
Suddenly there was a deafening re-
port and the Diller boy fell gasping
at the feet of his sister. Blood welled
from a terrible wound in his breast.
The full load of shot that was in the
gun which young Wichs was clean
ing entered the child's breast.
The terrified children rushed from
the alley, but by the time physician
reached the side of the wounded boy
death had ended his sufferings.
81 didn't know the gun was load
ed" declared young Wichs last night
Il wasn't even looking at Max when
it exploded | did not pull the trig-
ger and | don't know how it came
to explode. 1t was an old gun that
had been around the house for two
years. ! thought it would be fun to
shoot it off on the Fourth of July"
The body of the dead boy was TAX
en- to the morgue and Arnold Wichs
was arrested by Patrolman Gilihaus,
and at the city prison a charge of
manslaughter was placed against
him. Later he was returned. to the
Juvenile Detention Home at Tenth
and Harrison streets.

prices declining more than one cent
from the highest point of the day. Al
the close the spot delivery was 3-S %

The wheat market opened strong
because of an advance of Id at Liver

ever, soon started prices downward.
Favorable weather in this country
for the growing crop was the chief
reason for the selling During the
