Badness Due to a Living Minute
Germ.

Badness Due to a Living Minute
Germ.
Many people, even unto the present
day of grace, consider badness due to
hereditary influence.
Nothing is further from the truth
Badness is caused by the onslaught
of minute organism which secretes
itself beneath the scalp and attacks
the roots of the hair-causing it to
lose its life and fall out.
This organism cannot be got rid of
except by the free and persevering
use of Newbro's Herpicide.
No matter how badly the scalp is
effected the Dandruff surely disap-
pears and hair health is restored when
Herpicide is applied.

effees."

Dead Man Wins Case.

Some time ago Samuel II. Heitzman
now deceased, built house on South
Sixth street, between Park and Pase
walk avenues, for f. Filter, retired
farmer. All but 5000 was paid by Mr.
Filter, who, during the construction OF
the house, had a number of changes
made. When Mr.. Heitzman turned in
his bill Mr.. Filter refused to pay, say
ing the bill was too high, there being
no contract made. The case was
brought up in the county court and
later settlement was made by attor.
neys for the plaintiff and defendant
but when the time for the payment
was set, Mr. Filter did not pay. The
case was then brought up in Justice
Lambert's court, enough of the liens
of the house being paid off by Mr.. Fill
ter to allow the case to go to justice
court. Thirty-four dollars was left to
be paid Mr.. Heitzman. The case was
continued and in the meantime the
plaintiff died and today the case is be-
ing tried in Judge Lamberts court by
the following jurymen: j. A. Tru
lock, S. H. Grant, F. A. Bryant, Glen
Barnhill, Peter Barnes, Samuel Parks
Jack Koenigstein is attorney for the
plaintiff. NJ. C. Hazen is counsel for
the defendant.
After lunch, the jury in the case
summoned Constable Finkhouse and
sent him to look for Jack Koenigstein
attorney for the plaintiff, saying that
although they had reached a verdict
they would not give it up until Mr.
Koenigstein had appeared and paid
the jury's fees. This made it plain
that Mr.. Koenigstein had won the
case.
After a long wait the attorney made
his appearance and announced that he
would give the judge his personal
check for the jury fee.
The jury then handed Judge Lam
bert their decision, finding in favor Of
the plaintiff, the defendant to pay
$19.1S and costs of the suit.
In his argument before the jury Mr.
Koenigstein said:
There was only an oral contract be
tween the two parties, but Mr.. Filter
is allowed to tell the jury all thai
passed between him and Mr.. Heitz
man. My client is dead therefore

Mecarthy's Statement
Attorney Mccarthy, in an inter.
view, said;
II do not know what is the matter
with the state in this case. We have
been waiting for the presentation of
complaint so that we may know

The possibility of a controversy
over the reward may have something
to do with the delay. | do not know
about that But the truth is | think
those who have been most active in
OBTAINING Mr.. Flege have not the
nerve to sign the complaint.
Attempt was made by the prosecu-
ton to get Henry Lessman, neigh.
Dor of William Flege, who was pres.
ent when Albert Eichtencamp gave up
the information, to sign the complaint.
Mr.. Lessman refused, saying that he
was not directly interested in the case
any more than any other neighbor
and friend of the family.
"A brother-in.aw of Mr.. Flege, and
his brothers Henry and Fred, were in
Ponca yesterday. They were impor-
tuned to sign the paper. They refus-
ed, naturally"
That after the first shock which the
arrest of William Flege cast upon the
neighborhood near Wayne, the feeling
that he is not guilty is gaining ground
fast, was an assertion made by the
prisoners attorney.
Citing the fact that each day more
friends and neighbors from the Ger.
man settlement are coming here to
see the prisoner, while on the first two
days there was no one but officers
visiting him, Mr.. Mccarthy said that
showed that the reports that the
feeling in the German settlement is
strong against Flege were groundless.

nouncement of an engagement during
the week that has been brief respite
in the social dullness One of the most
interesting bits of news came from
Napa in the announcement that Miss
Adair Walden will become the bride of
Winfield Lee Howard. The betrothal
is of interest to local society, where
the couple have many friends, as we'll
as in Berkeley and other bay cities.
Miss Walden is a graduate of Miss
Heads school in Berkeley. and her
hance is a former student at the Uni
versity of California The announce
ment was made at luncheon given by
Mrs. Rufus Steele, a cousin of the bride
elect. Mrs. Steele made the announce
ment in charming and informal way,
having bidden a score of friends to
the engagement party at the Walden
home. The hostess of the occasion was
assisted by another cousin of Miss
Walden, who is visitor at the coun-
try home, Miss Edwina Fay F'risbie.
Miss Walden is the daughter of John
E. Walden and her family has a wide
acquaintance in the state. The we'd

will take place probably in the late
summer.
