WE|KERT GOES TO CELL
ON W|FE'S DIVORCE SUIT
Young Lawyers Plea Fails to
Have Writ of Ne Exeat
QuaShed.

Clyde Il. WeikeIt, the young attorney
who was sued for absolute divorce by
his wife, Charlotte Weikert, late yester-
day afternoon and taken into custody by
a deputy marshal on a writ of ne exeat
while luxuriating in sleep following q
bath at local Turkish bath establish
ment, spent last night in cell at the
District JAIL
After his arrest Weikert made two
fruitless appeals to his wife to drop the
proceedings or at least to have the ne
exeat qIashed. Accompanied by deputy
| marshal. the young attorney went to uls
wife's apartment in the Ontario and there
besought her to prevent him going to Jail.
She was obdurate at first. but later agreed
to talk the matter oyer with her mother
and give decision at the latter's apart
ments.
Accommodating the young man. the
deputy marshal went to the apartments
of the mother1n-law, but she was not at
home. After waiting awhile in front of
the building Mrs Weikert and her mother
arrived.
Here Weikert renewed his plea for lib
erty, but the wife's heart had become
adamant, and nothing remained for the
deputy marshal but to take Weikert to
Jail. as efforts to secure bail had also
failed.
Service of the divorce papers, in which
she was named as correspondent, was had
yesterday on the young woman with
whom Mrs. Weikert said she met her
husband on the street recently. The
deputy marshal found her at local
hotel. She was indignant, he said. and
protested her innocence Of the charge In
ferred In the wife's suit for divorce.
Justice Stafford has also cited Weik-
ert to show cau1e next Friday why he
should not pay alimony to his wife pend
ing the hearing Of her petition.
Mrs. Weikert Is represented by Attor-
neys Tucker. Kenyon & Macfarland and
E. s. Bailey.

character Heller is, TO look at him. said
the colonel. but you ought to have seen
him in Africa
When Col Roosevelt was shown the
cases and shelves hlied with the cured
and stuffed specimens which he had sent
home from Africa he exclaimed:

which he particularly remembered.

he said, singing it out from three or
four others. Heller, here, declared that
the elephant just happened to die of apo
plexy at the instant l fired, for he never
could find bullet or bullet hole in him.
Considerate Of the elephant, wasn't it,"
the colonel asked. with chuckle.

. OF THE TELESCOPE
How Friends Framed Up Joke on
the Thin Verdant Dolly
Gray.

When Pitcher Dolly Gray broke
into baseball ne was verdant Fellow
players soon tumbled to that fact and
had a lot OF fun. Gray's debut with
the Southern league was a thing OF
JOY. He pitched for Little Rock, with
which club Umpire John Egan was
connected as pitcher.
One day they had occasion TO play
In Chattanooga and had TO make
quick jump that evening. Gray
travelled with his clothing In one OF
those old, familiar telescopes which
opened both ways and from the mid
die. The grip was bound around with
two stout straps,
Before Gray returned to his room
the players sought the telescope, re
moved his clothing and the top OF
the grip and nailed 1t firmly to the
floor OF a building just Inside his WIN
dow. Then the clothes were put BACK
in and the straps tied down.
After the game Gray hustled to his
room. He missed the telescope and
friendly player told him somebody
must have set 1t outside the window
He clambered onto the roof and
tugged and tugged, but the grip head
firm. Finally his hand hold was
broken and he slid of the end Of the
low building and dropped dozen feet
TO the ground. He finally released
the grip with a hammer and has been
looking for the fellow who nailed II
down ever since.
