INTO SERIOUS TROUBLE.
Trades Love Of Woman For $3.50
Charge.

The following, taken from the
Omaha News may interest Falls
City people to some extent as it
relates to parties who held forth
in this city some two years ago:
''That he might have, unchal-
lenged, the affections of Mrs.
Catherine Patterson for himself,
Gates Parker is alleged to have
turned over to f. G. Woddell, for
merly of Omaha, but now of Des
Moines, $3.50 worth Of jewels and
$500 check, though the former
possessor of the woman s charms
now says the check was forgery
and is prosecuting his rival.
Woddell until recently lived
in Omaha and Parker lived at
Guide Rock. When the alleged
barter of affection for money tool
place all the parties were in
Omaha.
County Attorney English, on
Woddell s representations of
forgery, sent Detective Deyereese
to Denver to get Parker. Dever-
eese has returned empty handed,
with a story Of how the man, in
his resistance to eXtradition,
showed that he had money in the
Guide Rock bank, which his di-
vorced wife had so entangled
that his check drawn in good
faith was not honored.
Mrs. Patterson, according to
Denver advices, declared that
Woddell had repented Of his
bargain to give her up for fin
ancial consideration and brought
the action through jealousy.
"Parker's hearing at Denver
disclosed the rivalry of the two
men for the affections of the wo-
man. Mrs. Patterson stated on
the witness stand that she had
posed for three years in Omaha
as Woddell's wife. She said
they had lived in Kountze place.
." L can show a letter from
Woddell saying all he wants is
to get hold Of me again, said
Mrs. Patterson testified, but he
won t, not a little bit.
Woddell is alleged to have a
wife and family living in Iowa.

Reliance Insurance company of

MINK LEAGUE TO CONTINUE
DIRECTORS PLEASED WITH FL
NANCIAL SHOWING.
Meeting in Falls City Wednesday
Shows Good Standing-FaIls
City Leads i'm Attendance.

At a meeting of the directors
of the Mink League the continu-
alton for next year was assured.
The chief object of this meeting
was to examine the financial
standing of the league in order
to make a report to the National
Association and assure the Mink s
position for next year
The treasurer s report showed
a balance of $407.7s after all
debts had been paid and above
the $500 guarantee from each
town at the beginning of the sea-
son. OF this balance, 5000
was voted to President Wilson to
reimburse him for any travelling
expense he might have incurred,
and $50 was reserved for any
little bill that might be left un-
paid because Of not being pre-
sented in due form. The balance
was pro-rated to the six towns
Of the league. a number Of
players were reserved by the
several cubs to protect them
selves with the National associa-
ton. This simply means that
the clubs reserving these men
have first right to them for next
year, that the men cannot play
elsewhere unless released by the
Mink club reserving them. But
it does not mean the Mink clubs
must keep them next year. They
may release them il they choose.
Although many of the Falls City
colts were reserved, Manager An
mis- was not.
Falls City is particularly proud
of her standing in the league.
She won the pennant against
great odd. She leads all the
Mink towns in attendance and
we also believe in enthusiasm. In
her home county and among her
neighbors she stood absolutely
alone, but won out with fine
showing. You cannot down II

End annual Horse SHOW
A FINE DISPLAY OF HORSE
FLESH.
Big Crowd Enjoys the Splendid
Exhibit - she Show Pro-
nounced a Success.

The second annual exhibit Of
the Richardson County Horse
Show Association was held in
this city Wednesday of this week.
1t drew a very large crowd Of
interested spectators from all
over the county.
The show was in every way sa-
perior to that Of last year. There
was greater interest manifested
by the public, there was a much
larger exhibit, the animals eX-
hibited generally were of better
stock and more classes were rep
resented.
The show opened at 9:30 a, IN.
and the ring was kept lively un-
til noon. always something to see.
\ recess was taken until 30 p.
m. when the program was again
taken up and continued until
400 p. m, followed by a parade
of prize winners. The First Reg
iment band of IIiawatha, which
furnished music during the day,
was at the head Of the procession.
Mr.. Howard j. Gramlish of
South Omaha was the judge of
the day. lie is a gentleman Of
wide experience in this line and
several years of his life has been
devoted to this work. He is a
graduate Of our state agricultural
school and holds the record Of
second place in the United State
international Judging contest hol,
in Chicago and first place on our
state team. lie spent the past
summer in Scotland taking a post
graduate course in his line of
work.
. The general points observed in
his decisions were good blood.
life, action, general symmetry
gait. style, color, condition, tenn
per, general usefulness. 1t was
often necessary to go into finer
points in making a decision, and
Mr.. Gramlish said often he felt
he would like to put a red rib
bon on two horses.
He spoke in most favorable
terms of the horses and mules of
all ages that were exhibited and
pays a great compliment to our
county.
1t is hoped that our Horse Sho s
is an assured thing. 1t has a
real meaning to breeders Of horse
flesh and to those who admire a
good animal from a disinterested
standpoint. 1t meant splen-
did day for our merchants and
pleasure for everybody. Another
year perhaps it can be arranged
to show the animals to greater
advantage and comfort to the
public. No effort will be spared
next year to make it even a
greater success.

Our merchants speak of having a
