But South Dakota has an initiative and

hotels in Sioux Falls-the divorce mecca
secured the legal number of signers and
invoked the initiative, requiring a vote by
the whole people. BY doing this they put

of the lawyers and the capitalists, for hun

Then the lawyers in the east began ia
look up the statutes of the different states
and discovered that Nebraska had a six

Troops to Spend Month On Historic
Grounds.

ATLANTA, Ga, July 1.-The quarter
of a million dollar encampment which
congress determined should be held al
Chickamauga park this year begins to-
day, and already many troops are in
camp on the historic ground.
The encampment is to last only a
month this year. This is due to wisdom
learned three years ago. Then it was
proposed to have a three months en-
campment but before the end of the
general weariness of everybody brought
it to premature close.
Altogether 10000 troops will be quar-
tered at Chickamauga during the en-
campment. but never more than 5000 at
one time. The encampment this year
will be very similar to the one of two
years ago, except that more time Will
be given to the solving of tactical prob
lens and less to drilling.

YOUNG GIRL
NOT SCARED
PRETTY MAIDEN TELLS OF EX-
PERIENCES WITH CALIFORNIA
BANDITS.

COALINGA. Calf, July 1.-"Of
course l was scared at first, but it did
not take me long to recover my nerves."
said beautiful Edna Domengine today
She makes light of the fact that she
was kidnapped cad only IN a night
gown, carried into the mountains by
bandits and used as a shield from the
bullets by one captor when the posse
overlook the pair in the fastness Of
Fresno county mountains.
'I was awakened from sound sleep by
the glare of light and sound of guns"
she said. without waiting to dress I
ran down stairs to see what was the
matter. Father and mother were watch
ing carriage The house was a mass
of flames. Two men were standing be-
tween the house and barn shooting
ransacked by the men they hitched up
ana placed papa and me in a buggy
and drove down Coaligna road. After
driving few miles. during which time
one of the two men threatened papa
if he refused to pay $4,000 ransom, they
allowed papa to alight.
"At Caoligna we stopped at the pest
house and turned the horses loose. We
walked three miles, and my feet got
sore. Finally We reached a little pOnc
called Jack springs. One of the men
told me to go inside a small hut there.
We sat there the rest of the night and
through the next day until the posses
came. Rogers. the name of the man
with me, talked only once saying. I
guess we fooled them
"Suddenly we heard a pistod snot.
and a bullet crashed through. Rogers
picked me up and held me in front of
ming up the hill. Dr. Seebery, who
was in the posse saw us. and fired two
shots. Rogers laid his gun across my
shoulders and began shooting. My
ears hurt yet from the shots. Rogers
showed me behind rock and continu-
ed to shoot. Finally Rogers threw up
his hands and shouted, I surrender
THE posse rushed to me inquiring
If was hurt. / said no.
Tony Lovall, leader of the kidnap
ers is at bay today in Warthen canyon
Is miles from here, surrounded by a
posse, and heavily armed. His death
or a captRre is expected at any mo-
ment.
A pathetic feature is that one of the
bandits was captured by his own father.
The father had no idea he was chasing
his own son with a gun.
The resentment CT the community
is directed against Lovall, who is ac
cused of planning the kidnapping. 1t is
learned he sent Rogers ahead with the
girl and fell back and joined the posse
avoiding suspicion until the girl Nsas
rescued.
