Was Ready to Marry Girl and Thus
-rsed From Charge OF OBJ
tanning Money Under
False Pretenses.
YOUNG WOMAN TEsT1F1Es
stated That She Knew WesterfieId For
Several Months and Thought
Him to be Heir to Large
Fortune.

Clarence Westerfield was acquitted
BY j. G. Landes, justice of the peace
this morning On the charge Of obtain
ing money under false pretenses from
Emma Gahel, plaintiff in the case
Young Westerfield was represented by
Theo A. Craig and the plaintiff by AS
sistant Prosecuting Attorney Ed. W.
McManus.
According to the developments and
testimony in the case this morning
Westerfield obtained the money, which
amounted to about $1S, under a
pretens Of marriage. The young wo-
men stated on the witness stand dur
ing the trial that she thought the
check was given as security for the
money Westerfield had borrowed and
that at the time she was under the
impression that Westerfield would
marry her. She also stated that the
defendant told her he had several
thousand dollars coming to him fol-
lowing the death of his grandmother.
When ask whether he would con.
sent to marry the young woman West
erfield stated that he would and thus
eliminated the charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses, for this
was based upon his compliance with
his promise to marry. 1t was on this
ground that Judge Landes dismissed
the case. 1t is understood that the
plaintiffs relatives have stepped
between the marriage and no wedding
will occur.
The case has been quite strange
one. Westerfield had been going
with the young woman for several
months and had led her to believe
that he was going to marry her and
also that he would inherit large
sum OF money. Because of these be-
liefs the girl donated to young West
erfield quite a large percent Of his
semi-monthly wages. The case fell
through because Westerfield was
ready to back up his talk and sign a
marriage contract.

Word comes from Springfield that
Ralph Bell, pitcher on the team rep

Bell Is Kahoka DO, Is a

years of age, but is good sized, weigh

standing almost six feet in heighth.
He is a left handler with all kinds of
speed and good curves. The purchase
price was very large, $500, and as
Bell has risen rapidly he will have a
good show of sticking with the big fell
lows as he is an all around athlete.
He has only played professional ball
for two years. So far this season he
has won about half of his games for
the Springfield team which is leading
the league at the present time. The

NOT AN ECONOMICAL CUSTOM.
Why Mr.. zwoxzIeton No Longer Seeks
to Recover Stamps Pasted
But Unused.

Any waste of material or destruo
ton OF property is repugnant to my
feelings" said Mr. Zwozzleton, but
find by experience that there are
times when we may make more by
throwing something of value away
than we would make by keeping II
and bringing it into use. You take for
instance postage stamps stuck on let
tiers that you don't mail. ! used al
ways laboriously to soak off such
stamps taking much time for the
operation, and then use such stamps
again, but now find at l can make
money throwing these stamps away.
Working eight hours am able to
earn about five dollars day, or a
shade over cent minute. For pur-
poses of figuring we will call 1t an
even cent. Now:
ITO soak off from the envelope the
uncancelled stamp of letter not sent
used to take me about five minutes;
and then such stamp had to be spe-
cially smeared with mucilage before
1t could be stuck again. figured that
to bring such stamp into use cost
me altog ether about six minutes time
by this expenditure of time and labor
! did recover stamp of the value of
two cents: and yet, as in that time |
could have earned six cents, on the
whole operation sustained an actual
loss of four cents.
SO now when | have a stamp on a
letter that finally l don't send just
throw that good, unused stamp in the
wastebasket and keep ON with my
work
1T never pays to spend more on re-
pairs than new thing would cost"

Silverton. Colo.-John Mattibi Of
Silverton thought he was buying $11.-
900 worth of gold amalgam one day
last week for $1,835 from man
named Long, who explained that he
secured the valuable metal in man
ner he did not care to have the police
know. Mattibi chuckled to himself
for several hours at the thought OF
making such big clean up when he
thought to make close examination
of the alleged gold amalgam.
He was dumfounded to discover that
he had been buncoed and that the 1875
pounds of what he supposed was gold
amalgam was practically worthless.
Mattibi hurried to the sheriff with his
tale of woe, and Long, who had left
town, was located at Telluride, ar.
rested and brought back to Silverton
for hearing.
