HER FOR SANDER

Court to Prove He's
a Hero.

of the unkindest words ever spoken,

documents to prove that he won various
medals for meritorious conduct in the
French-Prussian War.
There has been a feud between Miss
Utter and Mr.. PIN for a long time
The origin of it Is not publicly known
PIN alleges in his complaint that the
school teacher called upon him n day
and said:
you killed your first wife in France
you have been in Jail five or sia
times. It's a wonder you wouldn't ge'
married to the woman who at present
is known as Mrs. Pim."
After making the remarks quoted
PIN alleges Miss Utter went on hel
way. Mr.. PIN went to Paterson I'M
retained Henry Marelli, a lawyer, t
demand $50, 900 ina suit for damages
$10.0 900 for each assertion.
The case is to be tried In the Distric'
Court in Passaic. Miss Utter has re
tanned Edward F. Mercy, City Counse
of Paterson, to defend her.

The highwayman shot first. however,
a bullet passing through Pinto's hand,

man into the woods.
Pinto believes he killed the would-be
robber. The authorities are in touch
with the county undertaken, hoping
thereby to learn of the h~ighwayman's
