Mrs. Sweet made a pathetic pic
ture as she was led trembling and
hesitating into the crowded,
sitting courtroom. Dressed in the
severest of black, the color of her
simple gown accentuated the look
of worry in her face and the white
ness of her hair. AS her case was
called she had to lean on her
daughters arm before she could
step up before Judge Gemmill.
Once, when the store detective be-
came persistent in their demands
that she be given a heavy fine, she
staggered and came near failing.
She bore out in every detail the
story of her daughter to the effect
that she had been seriously i'll for
weeks and that her unfortunate
trip downtown yesterday was the
first time she had left her room
for many days.

MITCHELL
PERJURER

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-Attor-
ney Davenport, representing the
Buck Stove q Range Co., created
a sensation in the United States
district court today by accusing
John Mitchell, former president of
the United Mine Workers, of wilful
and malicious perjury when the
case of Mitchell and Gompers for
alleged contempt of court in vio-
lating the order of Justice Gould
by placing the name of the Buck
company on the unfair" list was
called.
Pointing his finger at Mitchell,
who was seated with Gompers and
other labor leaders, Davenport
shouted:
Il will show Mitchells affidavit
in this connection to be state
ment wholly false and made with
the knowledge that it was false"
Mitchell flushed to the roots of
his hair. Judge Parker, attorney
for the American Federation of
Labor, declared his client had a
reputation as good as any man in
the United States. A statement In
the case will be taken before the
master in chancery. The limit Of
60 days is fixed as the time during
which testimony must be taken.

been the scene of numberless esca-

haps, has never been witnessed in

feat of the Oklahoma marshal.
Alternately does not know fear
his feats in the hunt Of man
and beast have proved that. His
Craftsmanship is superb, typical of
the new country. He is as active
and 1.-THE as panther, and it was
with no trepidation of mind or
spirits that he headed a party Of
sportsmen a few days ago to hunt
wolves in the Wichita forest re-
serve.
The dogs started huge lobo
and to their frantic baying the
hunt was on, with Alternately and
his big white horse in the lead.
The run was fierce, but the fugt-
tive was gradually worn out,
chiefly because of hunger weari-
ness. The dogs snapped at the
flying heels an I the lobo turned at
bay, desperate and dangerous.
The marshal was the first to
reach the finish. Like a fash he
was off his horse and with his bare
hands sprang at the crouching
wolf. There was scuffle as the
man and lobo rolled together on
the ground. The mans hands were
in the mouth of the animal and
with his powerful strength he was
striving to force the jaws apart.
! Then Alternately shouted The
fangs of the lobo fastened them
selves in his right hand. Slowly

nathy sank to the ground with the
lobo paving his breast and abdo-
men.
The dogs watched helplessly
while the wolf crouched on the
PROSTATE mans breast. 1t was
only a few seconds until the rest
of the party shot over a ridge and
a little man threw himself from
his mount and without the least
hesitancy grappled with the bewild-
cred lobo and pulled it from the
wounded mans body. The animal
was despatched
Abernathy's rescuer was AL Jen-
nings, a member of the notorious

| Alternately was taken by his COM
panions to Cache, village near by,
for treatment. His wounds were
pronounced serious at first, but his
remarkable constitution precluded
any probability of fatal ending.
His hand was badly torn by the
lobo's fangs, his abdomen deeply
scratched and his clothes were con-
verified into shreds during the en-
counter.

saw" said the marshal after he
had recovered from the immediate
effects of his injuries. "The brute
weighed 1876 pounds. He twisted
loose when | grasped him and
