GUTHRIE CASE
Adjt. Gen. Johnston Says the
Soldiers Were Protecting
Railroad Property.

Frankfort, Ky.-According to in
formation which was gathered by
Adjutant General P. P. Johnston,
when he was in Guthrie a week or
two ago, the two milltiamen who
were under arrest there charged
with breaking into a railroad car,
were doing nothing except protect
ing the property of the railroad. The
incident occurred several days ago.
The soldiers were on duty along the
railroad track under orders to watch
and protect the property Of the rail-
road.
Just a short time before that
night riders had burned three depots
on the Illinois Central railroad anc
were threatening the Louisville &
Nashville railroads property. The
soldiers were instructed to protect
the rolling stock. They claim they
were walking along the track wher
they found freight car with the
door open. One of the soldiers en-
tered the car, he says, to see if there
was anything or anybody in it. The
civil authorities swooped down on
them about that time and charged
them with breaking into the car.
The car contained whisky, which
was not touched by the soldiers, but
this is being used against them.
Gen. Johnston says it may have
been trap laid for the soldiers in
order to create opposition to them
and put them in a bad attitude to
the public.

Burned Near Casky.

A house on the farm of C. A..
Brasher, near Casky, was burned
Friday night. 1t was occupied by
Albert Johnson, colored, a tenant,

firing tobacco near by and stuck to
his post, being afraid to leave the
barn for fear it would catch also.
The fire was caused by an overturn-

MARRIED ID TIMES
But Phoebe Townsend Failed
to Find Happiness.

Is there any woman in all these
broad United States of ours who
thinks herself capable of managing
fourteen men-all of them husbands
let her read the story of how a
Nebraska woman tried it, failed and
is still hopeful. Mrs. Phoebe Town
send. of Dodge, Neb., is the woman.
She has been married fourteen times
within the span of her fifty years of
life. This is believed to be the rec
ord from the time when marriages
were kept-at least in this country.
On the subject of how to manage a
husband, Mrs. Townsend says:
Although l lost so many hus-
bands, it is no fault of mine. l was
a good wife to each of them. guess
it's matter of luck. know how
to manage a husband. YOU mustn't
love him too much. That is mot for
your own good. And it is not good
for him. 1t spoils him. You should
conceal some of your affections so
that you may keep him in hopes Of
winning more. You mustn't let him
know that you're managing him.
That will never do. If he has any
obstinacy, and most men have good
deal, he will fight. You've got to
lead him. Some of my husbands
were very obstinate. But | gener-
ally managed to get them to do what
| wanted them to do. Of course |
couldn't make them faithful, and /
couldn't give them good dispositions
if they didn't have them. You can
change man somewhat, but you
would be a fool to think you could
make him over. I've had too much
experience to believe that. l tell you
a woman must have good. deal of
hope in her to marry a man at all. I
guess Pm of hopeful disposition.
Pm not mean. | don't think I'm sell
fish. But l know my rights. There
are some things / can't stand. / had
the hard luck to get men who didn't
appreciate me. Affection isn't all a
man wants. Some of them just
want a servant. Even a woman who
is married to a good man will find
that the best of them are selfish. l
suppose women are, too, in certain
ways. Maybe it's matter of luck
whether married people can get
along with each others selfshness.
Anyway. people have got to marry.
We are told that it is not good for
man to be alone. A woman is just
as helpless. l always got lonesome
after parted from one of my hus-
bands. No one ought to blame me.
Ny children have, and so have other
people. But think I'm right in my

sideration. As a result of the discus
sion Councilmen Eckerson and Bennett

council to grapple with. 1t is only fai
to the council to explain that all the de
lay in the matter is not chargeable tt
