Larson was formerly a hotel clerk
in Denver. He was married there, and
after two months of happy wedlock it
is said his wife was taken from him by
her parents.
Unable to locate his bride Larson is
said to have begun to drink to excess.
About this time he was informed that
an uncle had died in Australia and had
left him an estate valued at over ST.
OO0 900, of which Larson will receive
one eighth or about $250,000.
The news of his good fortune is de-
clared to have so affected him that he

spree. The next heard of him Larson
awoke in San Diego. Considerable at
tention was attracted to the case by
reason of the fact that Larson did not
remember leaving Denver and was I'M
able to say how he had got to San
Diego.
He later came to Los Angeles where
he surrendered, and told the officers
that he had passed the checks while
unaccountably intoxicated.

1t was false alarm, however. neither

cess, and everybody was pleased at the
program.
"Old Pard" McCauley was the master
of ceremony of the evening, and with
DR.. Charlie Bonynge, DIR. Eddie Garrett
and DR.. Pat Quint as assistants they
made the social part of the evening pass
all too quickly.
After the business of the club had been
transacted and 1t was announced that at
the next meeting there would be the
nomination of candidates for the annual
election which is to take place January
IS DR.. Wiley was called upon to vindicate
himself before the club and committee
The candidate related the following tale,
and for the truthfulness of it took the
usual obligation:
"Since 1 came here from the east sew
eral days ago." said the doctor, IT have
had but little time to attend to matters
piscatorial, but I have always been an
enthusiastic disciple of Walton and 1 can
remember when small child of the
pleasure 1t used to give me to catch the
gold fish out of a bowl which stood on a
stand in the conservatory of my home
and feed them to the cat.
II can't say that 1t gave the fish much
pleasure nor that my recollections of the
subsequent proceedings when 1t was
found out are of the most delightful, but
I considered It great sport in the primary
stage at least.
1.-The story, however, which I am about
to relate, concerns an adventure. if 1t
may so be called, which I had while
visiting down east along the shores of
Chesapeake bay.
"I had spent q week or two with some
friends there in delightful fashion and
one day when it was proposed by a COM
panion that, we go fishing for founders
I accepted readily.

bit of boat called a dingy. 1t was a

to safety AS soon as 1t had got out OF
the reach of the sword fish 1t would
debate and drop into the water again and
swim away.
'"That gave me an idea and I proceed
ed at once to try it. Picking up one of
the Topping founders in the bottom of
our boat I caught it by the dorsal fin
and jabbed it with the point of bait
knife.
',At once the fish swelled up like a
toy balloon and / let go of it and there
being an inshore breeze it fioated away
to land and soon dropped on the shore.
my friend readily caught onto the
idea and we proceeded to treat all of tho
founders in the boat in the same fash
ion and within few minutes had cleared
the boat of all the fish in 1t and had the
comforting sight of a big pile of them
Topping around on the sand above high
tide mark.
"Of course, all of them didn't get
ashore. Some of them Debated refore
reaching land and got away in the water,
but we saved the most of them, and there
after we fished for three solid hours and
caught more than three barrels fun of
founders. AS soon as we took them OFT
the hook we would tab at them with
knife and they would swell up and float
ashore. We kept this up until the wind
changed and they began to float out to
sea. and then we stopped and went home.
"As I said we had more than three
barrels of founders. We gave the most
of them to friends and neighbors and the
next day was a feast OF fish throughout
the community, and to this day, the Sc

CAN'T GET A DRINK
IN bELLEv|LLE BY
ORDER OF JUDGE
William Connolly, of That Place,
Barred fro mLiqu0r Places
Under Old Law.

William Connolly, "a years old, of ~
William street, Belleville, by a decision
of Police Justice Cornell, of that town.,
Is officially barred from satisfying his
thirst for strong drink in Belleville.
Further, the saloon-keepers of Belle
vile are restrained from selling liquor
to the man under penalty of being de-
clared disorderly persons and fine $40.
Notices to this effect were posted
throughout Belleville today by Chief of
Police Flynn. The notices are signed
by Justice Connell and Poormaster
Thomas Brady.
This novel disposition was brought
about when Connolly was arraigned,
charged by the overseer of the poor
with not contributing to the support of
his wife and three children. Connolly
pleaded guilty, and was about to be
taken TO the penitentiary in default of
$500 bail when the justice learned that
possessed. Through the Justice a man
whose name was not disclosed offered
to give Connolly work. Sentence was
then suspended.
Township Counsel Andrew L. Boy
Ian came into the case at this point,
and brought out that Connelly's neg
lect of his family was due to his love
of strong drink. Counsel Boylan
pointed out to the court that an order
should be made out notifying all
saloonkeepers in the town of the case
and prohibiting them from serving The
man with liquors. The Justice admit
ted he had never heard of such a law,
and counsel produced the statute. Ac-
cordingly the order and notices were
made out, signed by both the justice
and poormaster.

James o. Ferguson is alleged to have
told his wife, Mrs. Annie Ferguson,
daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth Shawcross,
of Bloomfield. soon after they were
married in 1901. His alleged refusal to
provide her with a home or support
her is the grounds upon which Mrs.
ferguson hopes to win her suit for di-
vorce, which was recently heard before
Special Master in Chancery Herbert
W. Knight.
According TO Mrs. Ferguson, she and
her husband were married at the home
of a Methodist Episcopal clergyman in
Brooklyn after a brief acquaintance.
They lived together one day at 213
Broadway, Brooklyn, and then he left
her to seek employment and she re-
turned to her mothers home, in Bloom
field.
A few days later he followed her to
Bloomfield and said that he had an OPP
portunity of securing employment in
Philadelphia, but he had 40 money.
She drew her savings from a bank and
gave them to him and he went to
Philadelphia. A few days later she
received a letter saying that he had
not been as successful as he expected
and had not obtained a position. This
letter was answered and the next Mrs.
Ferguson claims she heard Of her hus-
band he was in Brooklyn.
Her brother-in-law went after him
and he was taken to Bloomfield, where
a stormy scene occurred between the
young husband and the mother-in-lawi
brother-in-law and other members of
the family. it is alleged. Mrs. Fergu-
son in her story, before the special
master. declared that he absolutely re-
fused to provide for her when she
asked him, and later her sisters hus'
band kicked him out of the house. He
hasn't been there since. 1t is ex-
pected that the special master will ad'
