AGED MAN
IS HELD UP

Alexander Allison, one of the old
est residents of the county. was as
sailed last night about eleven O'Clock
as he was going to his home in the
Crawford Addition, by II hoId-up,
badly hurt and robbed of his watch.
MIR. Allison had been up town for
several hours and started home
shortly before eleven o'clock. He was
walking along West Main street and
had just crossed the railroad tracks
at IA point near the brush pile where
hoboes have been in the habit of
camping. A man suddenly stepped
out i'm front of him and dealt him a
terrific blow on the s.de OF the head
with a piece of wood of considerable
size. The old gentleman was knocked
scnseless.
When he came to consciousness
he found himself in the road, suf-
fering from a bad wound on the
head and found that his watch Vas
gone. He managed to get home and
his wounds on tn head and face were
given immediate. attention. He is in
serious but not necessarily a dang
erous condition and will recover. The
blow he received was of awful force
and it is remarkable tina tthe skull
was not crushed.
The assaulted man did not get a
good look at his assailant and it was
dark. The officers are making every
effort to get the guilty man but have
practically no clue to work on All
second hand stores and pawn shops
have been notified to keep on the
lookout for the watch should a watch
be presented for sale or pawn.
1t is said that on Thursday night,
as he was going home, a stranger
approached Allison near the railroad
tracks and acted as If he was plan
ming to hold-up the old man but the
latter evaded the stranger.

fruit men in the business in the per-
son Of our fellow townsman, Fl. G.

the local association.
The Palisade association is COM

men in the valley, and they have
been abundantly successful in their
undertaking since its organization a
few years ago. Those in charge are
very optimistic regarding the busi-
ness this year and state that from
all appearances it will be the great
est one in its history.

FRANCHISE
APPROVED

Al an adjourned meeting of
the city council last night the
electric railway franchise was
discussed for more than two
hours and finally with only one
alderman voting "NO," the Or
dinance granting the franchise
TO Horace X. Devercux and ELL
gene A. Sundcrlin was passed
on first reading and ordered
published according to law.
The amendment offered by James
w. Bucklin, providing that the city
can at any time purchase the electric
street railway at reasonable valua-
ton, was turned down by a decided
vote although Mr.. Bucklin was pres.
ent and made spirited argument in
behalf of his amendment Many OF
the aldermen held that 1t would not
be treating the applicants for the
franchise fairly to make it possible
for the city to take over the plant al
its actual value whenever the city sc
desired as 1t is hardly probable that
road will begin to pay much profit
until after it has been operated for
several years and then, as soon as
the road Is placed on paying basis
it would not be right for the city to
force n sale of the system.
Alderman Plank opposed the fran
chise as it stood last night owing to
his belief that clause should be in
serted stating that if the company
did not have three miles of track
completed and in operation by July
18th, 1903. according to its agree
ment, it would forfeit $4,000 to the
city.
A number of minor amendments to
the proposed ordinance were made
involving mainly, technical express
sions.
Charles e. Noble, representing Mr.
Devereux, was present at the meet
ing and many points were thoroughly
discussed by Mr.. Noble and the mem
bers of the council

WOMEN WE'RE AFRAID
TO COME UP TOWN

A patch of growing bushes and a
pile of brush located at point on
West Main street, just across the
railroad tracks. has proved a very
convenient place for hoboes to camp
and sleep out. AS a result many of
the women residing in the Crawford
addition We're afraid to come up
town in the evening owing to the fact
that they had to pass this hobo rel-
devouz. Complaints were made to
the officers.
Yesterday the brush was cut out
and today it was burned up and the
hobo camp is now thing of the past.

THANKS
COUNCIL

The residents of Crawford addition
are greatly gratified that the city
council has cut all the brush along
the track on West Main street in the
Crawford addition and they desire
to express to council their gratifica-
tion of the action taken in removing
the brush, as they feel that in doing
SO they have given the residents of
Crawford addition an additional pro-
lection. which they otherwise would
not have.
So many tramps and men in idle
ness congregate along the tracks of
the railway company, that they feel
that the best protection they can
have comes from the largest amount
of open space that can be given them
The residents of all that section
have united in this memorial thank
ing Mayor Wentworth and the men,
bers of the council for the protection
they have afforded in having the
weeds and tall grass removed.

United States between the years
1887 and 1906 the number of mar
riages was u, 1882, 044. The num-
Der of divorces granted during
that period was 945, 625, or in
other words, one divorce was

riages.
Two-thirdS of the divorces were
procured by women. Thirty
eight and nine-tenthS of the
divorces we're granted on the
grounds of desertion, and it APP
pears that while about one-half
of the divorces granted husbands
were upon the grounds of deser-
ton by the wife, but one-third of
the number granted the women
were for the same purpose.
Adultery, cruelty and drunken
ness, in the order named, form
the next greatest causes tor di.

These figures are a silent com
ment upon the laxity of our laws
on the divorce question and upon
illconsidered marriages. A little
more thought before marriage,
would lessen the divorce evil, and
more strict and uniform laws be-
tween the states on divorce would
also be a much needed reform.
