Swarthy Turk Held in Custody
Appears in Court Look

COURT MOVED TO MIRTH.
ONE OF MEN UNDER ARREST
SAYS mo" WHEN ASKED IF HE

HEARING THIS AFTERNOON.

John Doe" and " Richard Roe" the
two foreigners arrested yesterday for
violation of the fish and game law
seining in the Whitewater. appeared in
the city court this morning TO answer
the charge placed against them. Ow-
ing to the fact that their Interpreter
was not on hand the hearing of the
case was postponed until late this aft
eTnOOn.
DO you men understand English" ="
asked the prosecutor.
No sir replied John Doe This
caused even the stern court TO let forth
a few ripples Of merriment.
How did you know what | said if
you don't understand English:" con-
tinued Prosecutor Jessup. We don't
understand. That net not ours. per-
sisted John Doe The prosecutor
then asked that the case be continued
until the Interpreter could be secured.
John Doe" is swarthy looking
Greek from the province of Macedonia
consequently he is a Christian. Rich
ard Roe" is a Turk and, by the same
ed this morning like man who di-
gested d good breakfast. but poor Rich
ard. spurning Christian food, appeared
as the living illustration of a hard luck
story. This unhappy Turk sat discOn-
solate in the court room, never moving
a muscle. Probably in his Turkish
immagination he is figuring whether
his "heathen' captOrs will burn him
to the stake without any preliminary
functions. or whether they will torture
him little before pulling off this
event. However he remains true TO
the preachings of Allah and not a bite
has he eaten since being confined in
the city jail.
Sergeant McManus states that the
two men knew they were doing wrong
when they used the net. as the inter
prefer told them that this was against
the law.

Preliminary Meeting Held
and Great Popular In
tereSt Shown.
COMMITTEE NAMED.
Meeting for Organization
Will Be Held Next Mon
day Night.

The meeting called to consider
the organization of a Christian Coun-
ty Fair Association was largely at
tended and much interest was shown
in the movement.
The meeting was called to order
by Mayor Meacham who stated the
object of the meeting and briefly
discussed the many advantages that
would result from an annual reun-
ion of the people for an old-time
fair, where everybody could meet
| for pleasure and to compete for
premiums in every department of
the county's resources. The worlds
fair business has been overdone and
the people are hungry for a return to
the home fairs, where social features
are uppermost in mind.
The meeting was organized by the
election of Douglas Bell, chairman,
and DIR. M. W. Williams, secretary.
The plans of the grounds upon
which an option is held were laid
before the meeting, with the report
Of the engineer, who had made a
preliminary survey, and a number
of speeches were made advocating
the immediate formation of a COM
psny to hold fair this fall. Among
those who spoke were M. c. Forbes,
j. E. Moseley, Mel. Davis, and 9TH
ers.
A motion providing for the organ
ization of a $4,000 company was
adopted and the chair was author
lied to appoint committee to So
licit stock, with members in>every
magisterial district, and report at
another meeting next Monday night.
The shares are to be S25 each and
the money is to be used to buy Is or
26 acres of woodland at 500 an acre
and erect grandstand, floral hall,
stables and fencing, and grade the
track for the speed rings. In the
clearing of the grove enough posts
can be obtained for fences and some
lumber will be secured in thinning
out the trees. 1t is proposed to put
a dam across a little valley in the
cleared field south of the grove and
make a lake of five or six acres,
which can be done at small expense.
The entrance to Main street can be
bought at $3.50 an acre, and the one
to Virginia for less, and Capt. Davis
announced that he would exchange
this roadway for stock in the associa-
ton.
1t is hoped to have the company
organized and ready for business
by July l.

In America the fudge-angelfoOd

The kitchen seems a place of pen

Haste is one of the curses of the
American kitchen industry. Ameri

Frying is one OF the most deplor.

really a CRATER upon public health.
The frying method is a public out

bribery.
European women do not stoop ia
