NON-SUPPORT CASE
AIRS FAMILY TRIALS

Walter w. Blake In the district court
this morning was sentenced to six months
at the state workhouse for non-support
OF his wife and seven children. The wife
was in court and said that her husband
is an expert stone setter and earns good
wages, but he thinks more OF drink than
he does OF his family. She said he left
the family last May and has been room-
ina and since then has sent home but SIS.
She told OF how her husband came home
drunk and abused the family and she and
the husband had a regular family bick-
ering right before Judge Rueckert.
Blake said the continual seedlings OF his
wife and other domestic affairs drove him
from home. that he was able TO and will
ing to support his family, but that never
moro would he live at home.
Blake said az a sort OF justifcation Tor
leaving home that he had TO care for too
many OF Mrs. Blake's folks and taunted
her with having had TO pay for the burial
OF her father and mother.
Mrs. Blake intimated that the burials
were paid for by insurance that cost 20
cents day and said that 20 cents a day
allowed TO a woman who run house and
brought up seven children was earned by
her. and that II was a poor woman who
could not earn 20 cents day. She refut-
ed with scorn the assertion that her hus-
band had buried her father and mother.

WOOD WITH CANE
CUTS FALLON'S SCALP

Michael Wood last night while in a
saloon in the Fifth district with his
cane struck Andrew Fallon on the
head and the blow made a scalp wound
three inches long, which had to be
sewed up at the Rhode Island hos
pital.
The cane has a sharp pointed head
and Is something of the type OF a
bludgeon. AS Wood has .crippled
foot II is necessary for him to carry
the walking stick. Capt. Lawrence
said that Wood. when he struck Fall
Ion. was drunk, and gave the blow
without provocation. Wood told the
court that Fallon kicked him before
he hit him.
Wood when asked his age replied
that he was 49, He didn't look IL, and
Judge Rueckert, in a doubling voice
asked IL he said 7S. and Wood again
repeated that figure.
Capt. Lawrence said that this morn
ing Wood told him he was so years
old. When was you born?" asked the
court. In 1884 replied Wood, after a
moment. and by his reply he proved
II not his age. that he Is quick at
mental arithmetic. Wood pleaded
guilty TO the charge and was held for
the grand jury in surety of $500.

ENTERPRISE LINE
HAS THROUGH ROUTE

The Enterprise transportation COM
pany has given out the folio eng state
ment for publication In reference to
it's through line connection from New
York to Boston via Fall River:
by the laying Of the last rails from
the wharf OF the Enterprise Trans
portation company at Fall River to the
main line OF the Old Colony Street
transportation Is completed that
matches the most perfect connection
possible TO even the New Haven rail-
roads own boat lines.
The rails are laid and the wires
strung, and although the granite block
paving OF the roadway down the
steamship company's property. past its
extensive freight sheds. is not yet I'm
ished. the special electric cars that
connect with the company's boats have
already begun running down the wharf
to the passenger gang plank. This
makes possible the unique experience
of travelling from Wall street. where
the Enterprise Transportation com
pany's New York dock IL located, to
Postoffice square, in the very heart OF
Boston, without making any transfer
other than stepping of a boat on to a
waiting electric car.
The completion OF this track, as a
sequel to prolonged franchise fights
for the right to do express and freight
business, opens the way for the early
development OF such business via Fall
River on a larger scale than is pos
sible for the Brockton. Taunton and
other inland express and freight busi-
ness that Is now being handled by the
Enterprise Transportation company's
Provideice line"
