Herman Boche has strong cause
of complaint against his arrest and
trial before a Madison justice court
Wednesday. Boche, it now appears,
pleaded guilty to doing something
which the law gives him perfect
right to do and was fined on his own
admissions. In Madison Herman Bo-
che, on behalf of his son, Emil, plead
ed guilty to illegally selling catfish.
This was under the old law, which was
repealed by the last legislature. Most
people still believe it illegal to sell
fish caught locally. The game and
court officers in the case of Mr.. Boche
made the same mistake, 1t seems, of
not being aware of new law. The

The granting of a divorce to Mrs.
Rose Miner at Madison this week is
the final chapter of theatrical ro-
nance which began thirteen years
ago. Two years before that she had
married Harry Gates, but Gates failed
to support his wife and the married
ife of the young lady, who mad been
Rose Beemer, Norfolk girl, was most
unhappy. The stage had attracted her
then and though her first ventures
were unhappy she continued to cling
to it. Thirteen years ago this month
she started out with Edward j. Miner,
until this week her husband, with the
Little Winner Comedy Stock COM
pany. The company was not win
ner, and one of the pathetic incidents
of the honeymoon was the placing I'M
der arrest in Sioux City of Miner and
his partner, Bert Stratton, on the
charge of horse stealing, they having
failed to return livery horse. Dep
uty Sheriff Will Davenport, formerly
of Norfolk, made the arrest. The two
were bound over to the grand jury.
Mrs. Miner, billed as "Queenie Mil
ner," has been appearing at the Lyric
theater while the divorce suit re-
quired her presence here, but left to-
day for Texas, where she has a theat-
rical engagement.
