GIRL PLAYS BOY.
Runs Away and Works on Railroad
Dining Cars-Wearles of Home.


Unhappy home relations led Mel
wood Kemmaster, a 17-year-old San
Francisco maidep, to seek employ
ment on dining cars, dressed as
boy. A few days ago the runaway
was arrested in Omaha on charge Of
vagrancy. The police Judge, after she
had admitted his guess was correct
told her to assume her own attire and
return to her home.
Melwood told the Judge she had
planned for months to escape from
conditions at her home, which she
said were irksome. She would have
been willing, she said, to elope II the
right young man had come along and
offered himself. Alone, however, she
saw no chance to roam until she hit
on the plan of wearing trousers. She
applied for a position on a dining car
and was accepted, and 1t was several
months before her sex was discovered.
Then she was dropped from the pay
roll and from the train.
Discouraged and penltent, the girl
broke down and told the judge that
she was willing to go back home.

Claiming that Jerry Stone has
wrongfully damaged his reputation as
a school teacher and also as law
yer, Homer l. Watts, former princi-
pal of the schools at Athena, has
started a damage suit in the circuit
court and asks for a judgment
against Stone for the sum of $4,000.
In the complaint, which was filed
today by Watts himself, 1t is set forth
that the plaintiff holds a life teach
er's diploma and is also duly admit
ted to practice law in this state.
Jerry Stone is characterized as q
''man much believed and relied upon
by people of the county as a truth
giver and as a proctor OF the good
morals Of the community man Of
wealth and Of influence which is felt
beyond this state"
The particular offense charged
against him is that on December l,
1907, while Watts was serving as
principal of the Athena schools, he.
Stone, caused to be published and
circulated a slanderous, scandalous
and libelous story concerning the
plaintiff. In effect this story was
! that Watts had disregarded the in
structions Of the Athena school
board; that he had also used pro-
fame language on the streets Of Athe-
ma. and had called pupils by various
offensive names.
Because OF this alleged libel the
plaintiff complains that he has found
it impossible to secure further en-
ployment as a teacher and on this
ground he is damaged to the exetent
of $500. He then asks for the sum-
of $4,000 in addition because he al
leges that the defendant acted
against him for the purpose of an
noying and injuring him.
