Teton Fox urges that the club take
immediate steps to cause the enact

Court Fines Writer One Cent
for His Indlscreton

FREEPORT, ILL.,, Oct. 19.-For using
the United States mails to send a
threatening letter to his brother-in-
law, who is alleged to have misused
members of his family, John Bower of
Rockford was fined l cent by Judge
X M. Lands of the United States
district court in session here yesterday.
Bower explained he was ignorant
of the postal laws covering the case
and told Judge Lands the story of
how the recipient of the letters had
abused members of the Bower family.
Judge Lands evidently sympathized
with the accused and fined him the
minimum amount allowed by law. He
told Bower what he said to the brother

all right If he had gone to the relative
and said it before his face.
