relation of her late husbands peculiari-
ties. She said that after her marriage
none of her friends called on her. At

was not because her husband forbade
them calling, but the question was
disallpwed. Gonzales never took her
to the theater or any place of amuse-
ment in their 13 years of married life.
the witness said. The Ricos never Wis
tied Mr. and Mrs. Gonzales at the
ranch in Monterey county, she said.
She remembered that one of them. a

housework at the ranch for five weeks.
Dr. Gonzales never wrote a letter

consulted her about business matters.

cided whether 1t should, be admitted.

Small Blaze at DR. Childs'

A small blaze vas started at the resi-
dance of DIR. Childs on Monday night,
due to a window curtain being blown
over a lighted lamp IN the bedroom oc-
cupied by the hired girl, but the prompt
discovery and action of the girl and her
employers prevented the flames from
communicating with anything else.
The girl had entered her room but a
moment before and had placed the lamp
on her trunk under the window and
then turned away from it for a moment,
and when she again looked in that di-
rection she saw the flames licking up
the curtain, the breeze having blown il
over the flame of the lamp. Her cries
of alarm brought DR.. and Mrs. Childs
to the scene and the curtain was pulled
from it's fastenings and the flames
trampled out without farther damage
being done.
The cries uttered by the girl wher
she discovered the curtain was on fire
attracted the attention of someone on
the street, who, upon looking up to the
window, saw the flames, and not know,
ing or waiting to learn the size of the
fire, sprinted over to the NJ. E. church
and rang the bell for all he was worth.
This got the fire laddies out on the jump
and in a few moments they had the ap
paratus at the door ready for business
They reached the scene so quickly that
DR.. Childs and his wife thought there
was another fire in the neighborhood
and began asking whose house wa,
burning. And the next morning DIR
Childs went to Council Bluffs.

Had a Birthday Celebration

There was a pleasant gathering around
the festal board at the dinner hour last
Sunday at Mrs. Morey's bachelor home,
the occasion being another birthday in
that motherly lady's home, the lucky
one this time being Mr.. Tom Halligan,
the popular clerk at Buthweg & Han
sens clothing emporium, who had reach
ed the age of-well, beyond 81 anyway.
In honor of the above mentioned event
Mrs. Morey had prepared another of her
fine dinners and had also seen to it that
there was a sufficient number of tapers
placed around the big birthday cake to
fully represent the number of years Mr..
Halligan had attained in his earthly
career, even though he had attempted
to hide both the fact of the approach of
the anniversary of his natal day as well
as the number thereof. But he couldn't
fool the old lady and the spread was a
complete SURPRISE to him, as he thought
he had done it this time. There was "a
pleasant company around the table, in
Guiding Mr.. and Mrs. Buthweg and
their children and a good hour was en-
.ioyed by all in eating the good things
and in social conversation.
