AN UNHAPPY JUDGE
Freeman Has to Hear RecitalS
Of Two Very Angry
Women.
A NEIGHBORHOOD QUARREL

Mrs. Mollie Ollinger and Mrs. Lii
liam Lane appeared in the city court
this morning and rehearsed their
troubles to acting Judge Freeman.
Each desired that an affidavit be filed
against the other. charging assault
and battery.
The two women reside on North
Fourteenth street near F, and their
neighborly affection for each other
has never been of the strongest, 1t is
said. Yesterday afternoon an alter
cation over a dog arose. Hot words
followed, and for about the 'steenth
time within the past few weeks the
couple engaged in a frantic hair pull
ing contest in which the dog acted as
referee. The pair were finally sepa-
rated before any serious injury had
been inflicted. Prosecutor Ladd lis
tened to their complaints this morn
ing and will probably comply with
their requests.

As nearly every one knows, the stars
of this musical piece by Henry Bios
som and Victor Herbert. are Swor and
Woods, and they will be seen in it at
Woods. Mr.. Swor. besides being bit
of q globe trotter, Is an amateur
photographer. That he is clever COM

His trusty camera always accompan-
les him. Last summer Mr. Swor visit
ed Holland. the locale Of the story of
The Red Mill.'' and at Katwyk-aan-
Zee got some very good studies of the
quaint little town. One shows the
famous red mill on the outskirts of
the town from which Henry Blossom

The other portrays the Greet Bad Ho.
tel, which Is represented in the first

Copenhagen, Sept. liking Freder-

noon received in private audience DR..
Frederick A. Cook, the American dis
coverer Of the North Pole who arriv-
ed here at 10 o'clock this morning by
steamer and received the greatest ova-
tion of modern times.
Cook, attired in the same clothes
which he wore on the southwark trip
from the pole except furs, and wear
ing moccasins, was ushered into his
royal presence and warmly congratu-
lated as representative of civilization.
The king told him ne brought glory
to himself and his country. The king
and man who once drove a milk wag-
on for five dollars a week met togeth-
er on the common ground of science.
Will Never Return.
Before going to the palace Dr. Cook
told newspaper men that he never
again would go back to the North
Pole. One such experience was suffi-
cient for one life time.
Cook reiterated the statement that
the careful records he had made with
chronometer and sextant and calcula-
tons verified by observations and
daily diary would amply convince
scientists of the genuineness of his
discovery. Other explorers would
have to make the trip soon to expect
to find the flag and brass tube with
records inside at the same point
where Cook placed them.

the court house yard during the sum-
mer time are pure devils" He has
entered complaint with the county
commissioners and an effort will be

said that the boys had taken a poker
and punched holes in thirteen or four
teen large window panes which are To-
Gated on the west side OF the court

Henry c. Starr and w. A.
Bradford Meet in the
City by Accident"
BOTH ENTERED DENlALS
STATED THAT THEIR PRESENCE
IN RICHMOND HAS NOTHING TO
DO WITH THE c. & o. AND THE
c., c. 4 L. DEAL.

Perhaps it is merely a coincidence
that brings w. A. Bradford and Henry
c. Starr. former president and vice-
president. respectively, of the c., C. 4
L. to Richmond the same time. New
ertheless they are both in the city n
present. and when asked IL their visit
here had any significance or any beas-
ing on the proposed purchase of the
c.. c. & l.. by the c. & O. railroad.
Mr.. Starr stated that it had none what
ever. They both denied that they had
anything to do with the transaction
and neither one knew that the other
was in the city until they chanced to
meet quite by accident Of coursel on
the street. Mr.. Starr stated that the
newspapers know more about the C..
G. & L. situation than ne does and that
he is not at all interested in the mat
ter.
Perhaps. also. the earnest conversa-
tion between these two ex-railroad Of
ficials at the home Of Mr. Starr on
North Tenth street this morning was
nothing more than a friendly chat over
old times-perhaps. Mr.. Starr de-
clares that he is in the city on a short
visit to his mother, while Mr.. Brad
ford says tha. he is in Richmond to
look after several of his horses In thia
community.

OPEN SEASON IS ON
Hoosier Sportsmen May Now
Hunt Ducks, Geese,
Mudhens, Etc.
GAME LAWS ARE AMENDED

The open season for hunting all
sorts of water fowl is now under way,
having opened Sept. 1. Sportsmen
who are needing the call of the wood,
field and marsh will be interested in
the following provisions of the state
game laws, as amended in the recent
session OF the general assembly:
Ducks, geese, rails, doots. mudhens
and species Of water fowl may be kill
ed between September l and April Is.
Quail, November 10 to January l.;
number one person may kill in one day
15 90 ~-. ~
Rabbits, November 10 to succeeding
October 1. A closed season for rab-
bit shooting during October has been
provided in order that hunters may
not scour the fields and kill young
quail while pretending that they are
hunting rabbits.
Squirrels. July to October 1.
Woodcock, July / to January l.
Snipe and plover any time.
Doves, protected during the entire
year.
Pheasants, prairie chickens. grouse
and Hungarian partridges must not
be killed until 1915.
1t is unlawful to kill wild duck or
other waterfowl at any time between
sunset of the day and sunrise of the
following day.
It is unlawful to kill wild birds at
any time, or to hunt or shoot on Sun
day.
Hunters must have license to hunt
anywhere except on land owned or
rented by them.
From October I to November 10 is a
closed season for all game except water
fowl.
Because of the lack of an abundance
of waterfowl in Wayne county 1t is not
likely that any of the laws will be se-
riously fractured.

This city has expended thousands

necessary in almost every case within

TRIAL DATE IS SET
Springfield Resort Keeper Will
Be Arraigned in Cin-
Cinnati.
GOVERNMENT VERY ACTIVE

Nellie Ginger. alias Ada Howard,
the Springfield, Ohio. resort keeper,
who was arrested earlier in the week
on complaint of Postmaster j. A. Spe-
kenhier, for using the mails for oo-
scene purposes. will be tried in the
federal court at Cincinnati next We'd
nesday. according to word received
by local authorities. Miss Ginger
will be charged with using the mails
for obscene purposes, but there Is
question whether her letter to the To-
cal young girl, in which she invited
her to visit her resort at Springfield,
is a violation of the postal laws.
Miss Ginger worded the letter very
cleverly and there is not a word in
the letter which could be taken as o.
scene 1t is the letter itself and its
purport on which the affidavit against
Miss Ginger was based. In the let
ter the local young girl. whose name
had been given to the Ginger woman,
is invited to come to the Ginger wo-
mans home in Springfield. Spring
field is characterized as a lively town.
The letter is signed Your Unknown
Friend. Miss Ada Howard"
That the federal authorities will use
every effort to successfully prosecute
the Ginger woman, is evident in their
every move so far An offense such as
she was arrested for, usually calls for
a $500 bond. Instead she was placed
under 1000 bond. The government
authorities are extremely anxious to
win the case for il they do 1t will es-
tablish precedent.
In fact, If the postal authorities
make their case against Miss Ginger,
it will result in every resort keeper be-
ing denied the use of the mails in re-
spect to reference in their correspond
ence concerning their business. It
will result in the postal and govern
ment authorities making . campaign
on resort keepers. which will greatly
limit their field OF operation.

of the cases were for failure to pro-

In the latter case William A. Will
son asked a divorce from Mrs. Martha

seemed to enjoy the proceedings and
1t appeared as though they were at
tending a festival of some nature, in.

finally of his desertion. During the
short period of time that Mr.. and Mrs.
Griffith lived toe-.her in this city,
they resided at four different places.
Mrs. Griffith said that her husband
would live at one place without pay
ing rent as long as the landlord would
stand for it.
Mrs. Magdalena Camplin of Cam

husband abandoned her three years
ago last March and that she had been
supporting herself and four children

FAIR ENTHUSIASM
 BRINGS THE CASH
President Dennis and His Committee Find Ready Response on Every Hand-Everything
 Looks Good.

Mena and Polk county, not de. pending upon state approprls- uous, nor upon race horse gam oling to support her annual fair, are not sulking, nor is anyone proposing to give up the annual celebration this year.
 G. B. Dennis, president, who has been for years one of the reliable workers in the move ment, has gotten his soliciting committee together, and with come on boys instead of ''go on, he has started the work of raising funds-aud all the bust uess men of Mena who ever helped the fund, are cheerfully gIvlug as much or more tha Ii ever. As soon as the work is done, the premium list will be prepared and issued.
 Last year certain of Meua's progressive citizens boug h | grounds for the Mena and Polk county fair, and hundreds of dol lars worth of work were spent in improving them and in the con- stfuction of buildings.
 The organization of the Mena Driving Club has resulted in spending hundreds of dollars ad- ditional in making a nice one- third mile track, where driving matinees can be held, and the baseball team has aided by fixing up fine ball ground.
 Mena and Polk county will celebrate the city's anniversary by big fair this four days of it-August ls, 19, 20 and 2l.
 Better begin to get ready to attend.
