matter. Mrs. Will Ritz, as president Of
the society, said:
There has been too much laxity in
these matters and henceforth it is 60
ing to be stopped. Our society has
been weak for some time owing to
the fact that many OF the principal
members have been absent, but now
we are going to take up all such cases
and have them prosecuted. The Pros
ecuting attorney has the case i'm hand
and through him we hope to stamp
out this growing evil. We would like
to have all similar cases reported to
us and with the help of the citizens
such brutal acts will be the exception
and not the rule"
The trial will probably be held on
Monday
