CONVICTED OF FRAUD.
Bankruptcy Case will be Reviewed
in Court Of Appeals.

An appeal case from South Caro-
lima that is of more than ordinary in
terest has been carried up to the
United States circuit court of appeals
now sitting at Richmond, Va. The
case is against Max Cohen who was
a merchant at Florence, S. c., and
failed and went into voluntary bank
ruptcy in the fall of 1906. There ap-
peared to be a heavy shrinkage in
his assets and he was prosecuted for
concealing from his trustees in bank
ruptcy $4,000 in goods and money
and tried and convicted in the United
States district court for the district
of South Carolina. Cohen has ap-
pealed to the circuit court of appeals
and the appeal will be heard this
week at Richmond. Cohen has nu-
merous grounds of appeal but his
main ground is that the district
judge allowed the schedules of his
debts and assets which he filed in
bankruptcy to be admitted against
him on this criminal charge. Cohen
is the fourth person indicted in this
state under the present bankruptcy
act and the third to be convicted.

The Sleeping Beauty.

Frederick w. Lehman, the new
prsident of the American Bar Asso-
citation, was discussing at a dinner
in St. Louis a case where some of the
evidence had not been above suspi-
cion.
"Well," he said there were Ger
tainly flaws in this evidence-temi-
biological inexactness, so to speak.
1t reminded me of the girl in the
hammock.
"A pretty girl in a hammock slung
in an apple orchard awoke suddenly
and frowned at the young man who
stood before her.
"'You stole a kiss while l was
asleep she exclaimed.
We'll stammered the young man,
you we're sleeping so soundly-you
looked so pretty, so tempting, T.
yes, l admit did take one little one.
''The girl smiled scornfully.
lionel said she. 'Humph, /
counted seven before I woke up!'' -

TRADING FOR A WIFE.
An Army Officers Experience With
an Indian at Western Fort.

"He says he would like to trade
with you for your wife!"-it came
out at last. It was a startling propo-
sition indeed. For a moment we
were both too breathless to comment.
Finally my husband. yielded to his
impulse for amusement and smiling
at me he replied:
ASK him what he will give for
her"
HE says six ponies, lieutenant.
"Oh. tell him she is worth lots
more than that"
"He will give you twelve ponies
for her,
My husband again replied that he
would not trade for any thing like
that; so the Indian kept raising his
bid. He offered twenty ponies; then
twenty ponies and squaw; and f.
nally twenty ponies, sQuaw and a
papoose. At length, wearying of the
nonsense, my husband nodded his
dismissal of the subject. But the
Indian seemed to think that the ap-
parent holding out for higher price
constituted trade when the final
offer was not rejected. He appeared
satisfied, but soon signified he
wished to finish the bargain. Of
course, my husband Immediately OBJ
jected. My savage admirer continued
unaccountably insistent; and AMIGA
bly, to rid himself of the Indians i'm
portunity my husband told him I
was not fit for more travel; that /
needed to 60 to rest at once. Ac-
cordingly I entered our tent.
The Indian was not content, and
continued, with some Of his COM
panjons, to hang around the camp
up' 4 one of the men told them they
u Ist now return to their camp, as
we were all going to retire. When
they had reluctantly departed my
husband laughingly told the lieuten-
ant, who had not been present dur
ing the parleying, of the incident.
The latter looked grave, and express
ed a fear that the Indian, in the be-
lief that he had made trade, might
cause trouble when the bargain was
not kept. My husband assured him
there was no agreement, and that the
buck had no basis for such claim.
The lieutenant explained that the
failure to reject the last bid and the
presence of witnesses to the price
haggling was all that the Indian con-
sidered necessary to make binding
affair of heart and honor.
Of course, terms had to be reached
and my husband, for the only time
in his experience with the red men,
or as far as l know with any man,
agreed to compromise. He bought
them off, and appeased their disap-
pointment by a gift of good, hard
money and a lot of tobacco.-Army

Dismisses Charge Against Railroad

New York, November 20.-The in
dictment against the New York Gen.
trail Railroad company, charging
manslaughter in the second degree,
growing out of the wreck of the
Brewster express in this city in Feb
ruary, 1907, in which more than 20
persons were killed, was dismissed
to-day upon recommendation of Dis
trict Attorney Jerome.
Mr.. Jerome said that, in view OF
the fact that the government had
been unable to convict Alfred H.
Smith, an official of the road, against
whom a similar indictment was filed,
it would be useless to bring the pres
ent case to trial. Upon this repre-
sentation Justice David in the su-
preme court granted the motion and
dismissed the indictment.
