vorce in Los Angeles Court.
Information has been received at
Kimball Of an interesting divorce case,
which was heard in a Los Angeles
court, and in which Thomas Meirstein,
aged about 20, formerly one of the old
characters Of Kimball, was n of the
principals.
In disproving his wife's claim that
he never gave her any money, he
stated that he often gave her as
much as a dollar a week, and that
when they took a street car ride he
paid the fare of both. He testified
that his wife frequently slapped him,
and on two occasions threw himself
and his clothing out of the house.
Kimball residents believe the oma
married Meirstein for the wealth he
was supposed to have, and when it
developed that he was dependent upon
a pension of $14 a month " the sup
port of himself and wife their domes-
tic relations soon reached the break
ing point. Meirstein was granted a
divorce.

Souls Denied by NewIyweds.
John Gilman and Dora Rose of
Stratford came to Aberdeen to get
married. They had procured a license
from the county clerk of Sphinx coun-
ty, but found it was not effective in
Aberdeen, which was in Brown coun-
ty.
They hurried to the court house and
procured another license, and then
sought a minister. By that time it was
ten minutes of train time and the par
sonage was ten blocks from the sta
tion-and Aberdeen has no street
cars. The pastor, before tying the
knot, called up the M. & st. l.. sta
ton and asked the agent to hold the
train till the young couple could get
there.
The request was complied with and
the train pulled out a half hour late,
but 1t carried Mr.. and Mrs. Gilman,

corporations have no souls is erone-

Burning Sugar. In Sick Room.

The burning Of sugar in the sick
room has been practised, though many
of our physicians smile when it is
done, regardless of the scientific tests
which have proved its efficacy.
The tests made by Prof. Trilbert of
the Pasteur Institute in Pari sprove
that burning sugar develops formic
acetylene hydrogen, q most powerful
antiseptic gas. Five grains of sugar
were burned under a glass bell hold
ing ten quarts.
When the vapor had cooled bacilli
of typhus, tuberculosis, cholera, small
pox etc, we're placed in open glass
tubes and within half an hour all the
microbes were dead. Is it a wonder
that our grandmothers found the ap-
plication of sugar smoke to cuts and
wounds a marvellous curative agent?

Although only a mere boy, Everett
Dagenaar, son of John Dagenaar, a

county, has, during the past few days
demonstrated that he is something Of
a plunger in high, finance. He has
been doing big business with his
fathers property. Taking -four of his
fathers best horses to a nearby town,
he traded them for an automobile.
Not satisfied with this demonstration
of his ability along business lines,
he took another horse from his
fathers farm and traded it for a town
lot in the little town of South Shore.
It required the services of an attorney
to stralghten Out the tangle in which
the boy placed his fathers affairs,
and secure the return of the horses.
The matter Of appointing a guardian
for the boy now is being considered,
in the hope that it will prevent him
taking any more plunges into high
finance.

Forgery Charged in Action at Water
town in Behalf Of Two Girls.
The probate court at Watertown,
Judge John Nicholson presiding, has
been occupied with the case Of two
daughters-little girls-of Mrs. Spears,
to break the alleged will Of James
Cromwell, recently deceased. Crom.
we'll left what purported to be a will,
making Mrs. Pierce his legatee.
Cromwell was the proprietor of a
restaurant in Watertown, coming here
from Bryant. Mrs. Spears, who was
the wife of a station agent, assisted
him there, and when he came to this
city she accompanied him, leaving her
husband.
When his will was presented for
probate, Mrs. Spears, who formerly
lived in Ramona, where Cromwell also
was in business for some time pre-
vious to his undertaking at Bryant, set
of her two daughters. She asserts
that while engaged in business at Ra-
mona he boarded at the Spears home.
The charge, in the hearing before the
court, is that the aneged will or wills
left by Cromwell are forgeries.
Besides the property left, amount
ing to a comparatively small sun in
value. an insurance policy is involved,
payable to the estate of the deceased.
The court has taken the matter under
advisement.

TURNER GETS A NEW TRIAL
SUPREME COURT REVERSES YER
DICT IN CASE OF YOUNG MAN
WHO KILLED JIM CASEY.

A. w. Turner, Jr., the young man
who killed jim Casey, a well-known
and respected negro, in Calhoun
county in December, 1907, and is
now under sentence to the peniten-
tiary for life, will have another
chance at freedom.
The supreme court, to which the
case was appealed after Judge Spence
denied the defendant a new trial, has
reversed the Judgment of the supe-
rior court.
1t was shown by the evidence that
the only one who claimed to have
witnessed the killing was the widow
of the deceased man. But her testi-
mony was combatted by the defend
ants statement, Turner claiming that
! the shutters of the room she was in
were closed and she could not have
seen the affair. The trouble, it is
now said, grew out of alleged inter
! ference of Casey in Turner's affairs,
and eliminated when Turner went
+ to the house of one of his tenants,
whom Casey was visiting, and or
| dered Casey off the plantation.
Turner was represented by Hon.
Joe Hall. He is now in the Bibb
county Jail, and application will no
doubt be made for bail for him pend
ing trial again at the next term of
! Calhoun court, which will be pre-
sided over by Judge Park, the new
| judge of that circuit.
