GIRLS LIKE TO "DREss UPr

The theory that II is only little girls
who like 10 dress UP and play a part
is a false one.
Masculine superiority and indiffer-
ence have been proven fallible. Little
girls have found infinite delight in
the cas'-off or borrowed garments OF
their "big sisters" or have drawn
fascinating treasures from forgotten
trunks slowed away i'm the attic. They
have not dreamed of possessing such
gorgerous raiment as is now possible
for their small brothers.
The supposedly Indifferent ones do
not pretend 20 hide their delight in the
ideal chauffeurs. soldiers-anything

charged with grand larceny was ar
raigned before Judge T. D. Lewis this
morning and entered a plea of not
guilty. In the information he Is ac-
cused OF stealing $780, @ watch and
some clothing from Otto Streck, an
other railroad man, on Oct. %, 1909.
Struthers was arrested in Grand juno
ton at the request of Sheriff Joseph
c. Sharp and extradited,
Joseph Noriega, Mexican, charged
with grand larceny, withdrew his plea
OF not guilty. and entered ono of guilty
this morning in Judge Lewis court. He
was sentenced TO Is months In the
state prison. With the assistance of
another man who escaped, Noriega
robbed p. j. Harrington on Commercial

David johnson of Sandy, who was
charged with perjury. was discharged
this morning by Judge Lewis at the
request of Diet. Atty. Fred c. Loot
bourow and the complaint dismissed.
In his statement to the court, Mr.. Loot

charged that he perjured himself on the
witness stand.
