Barn Burns.

Tuesday morning, shortly after
1 o'clock, Frank Highly, who is
staying at Geo. BrinsOn place,
discovered the barn was on fire,
and hastily arOusing a few OF
the neighbOrs made an attempt
to save some of the property con-
tanned therein, but the fire burn
ed so fast that the barn and al
most all the contents went up In
smoke.
One side Of the barn contained
100 bushels of wheat and some
of this was shoveled out, but all
was practically ruined by smoke
and heat. The loft was filled
with hay and all the farm har-
ness were in the building. Some
insurance was carried in the Mu.

A Close Call.

Architect Quinn was in KinS-
Ley last Sunday on business, and
while there had a mighty close
call from being poisoned by eat
ing some tainted meat. After eat
ing his breakfast at the hotel on
Monday morning he walked down
town, transacted business with on
or two parties, and while waiting
to see another party stepped into
a store to look at some post cards
and noticing a peculiar feeling he
walked out into the street think
ing the air would straighten him
out all right. This was at 1O:3O,
and after II o'clock he recovered
consciousness in a doctors office,
knowing nothing of what had haT
pened in the meantime. 1t was
necessary for the physician to
give him hypOdermic treatment
along with other restOratives to
restore his heart action. The doc
tor pronounced it a light case
of ptomaine poisoning, evidently
from the meat eaten at breakfast,

She's A Beauty.

Mr.. Thompson, the genial man
ager of the j. l. Case business at
this place, has just received a
new sample of the Case automo-
bile. This car is beyond question
the most beautiful car ever Of
fered for sale in Great Bend, be-
ing a torpedo body and built on
lines so symmetrical that it can
not fail to attract the attention
of any observer, be he amateur
or professional mechanic.
This car is manufactured by
the Case people, and backed by
their reputation.
The Case Co. expect to make
the automobile business one Of
their leading interests from now
on. They have taken an ample
amount of time to satisfy them
selves as to what is the best type
of motor, and have spared no ex.
penSe in obtaining the same.
This car certainly cannot fail
to meet the requirements of the
man who is looking for a car that
is worth the money. Mr.. ThOmp-
son will be glad to show the car,
and whether you buy or not if
you are able to appreciate good
machinery you will feel that the
time was well spent in looking
this car over.

went to Lyons last Saturday and
waxed it to the boys from the
salty town to the tune of II to

a walk-away with our team, and
they claim to have a stronger line
up this year than last, so that
would indicate that we have con-
siderable of a football team this

game, but the work of Steuri, Gil

Make Visits to Cafes and
Herald Office Last
Evening

Five hundred eXcursionists from san
Diego who came to attend the aviation
events of San Diego day at Domlngue2
today devoted the entire evening TO an
informal celebration in hotel lobbles
cafes and at newspaper offices. A brass
band and a seXtet reminded all hearers
of the fact that San Diego has III con-
temptation the Panama-Calliornlae eA-
position in 1915.
Starting at the Angelus hotel, the
band and its long line of followers pro-
ceeded to The Herald office, where the
sextet, headed by Joseph c. de Narona,
interrupted proceedings in the editorial
chambers long enough to render a sur
ring song and chorus boosting the falr.
The original 500 was swelled to pa
rade of a thousand before the informal
procession dispersed. Men and women
who had arrived on late trains equipped
themselves with banners, badges and
remnants and fell into the long line.
The delegation was headed by Col. u.
G Collier. director general of the Pana-
ma-California exposition, and ]. w.

committee.

CHICAGO, Jan. 11.-Roberta de ia
hou. the young Philadelphia heiress
who was arrested here Monday with
Frederick Cohen the hotel waiter with
whom she eloped December %, became
nervous tonight after passing twenty
four hours in a police station.
The girl, who related to the police a
remarkable story of her attachment
for the waiter as an adopted father
grew weary of watching for the arri-
val of detectives from Philadelphia
who are to take her to her GRANDPA
TIERS home from which she fled in dis
guise.
Information reached the authorities
that the Philadelphia officers would not
arrive in time to return with the girl
and her elopement partner on night
train for the east.
AS Miss de Janon is merely being
held and no charge is made against
her, she was permitted to attend a
theater in company with detectives.
Later she was returned to the station
TO await the arrival Of the officers.
Cohen remained in a cell at the Chi
cago avenue station.

SENTIMENTAL POETRY
AND ARDENT LETTERS

CHICAGO. Jan. 11.-Among the cor
respondence of Roberta de Janon and
Cohen, found in the elopers' rooms, was
the following, written on the face of
an envelope, no date:
ITO my sweetheart papa, from his
sweetheart daughter: l wish l could
have a little talk with you tonight, as
I am feeling terribly sad, but guess we
will have to wait until tomorrow. If
it is a nice day and if papa is not ready
to take Tootsie down about 1915, l will
try to come down, but if I find that's
impossible, don't get angry. Good
night, dear
This letter was evidently a reply to
one in which the waiter threatened
suicide:
Il think it is awfully unkind of you
to say such unkind things about kill
ing yourself. l think / am unhappy
enough now without you trying to
make me more SO, for you know, dear,
love my sweetheart papa, and would
like always to have you near me, if 1t
were only possible. Good by until to-
morrow morning, when 1 will expect a
nice fatherly kiss from you"
That Roberta INDUCED in poetry is
indicated by the following, found scrib-
bled on an envelope
Suppose that I'm girl from Germany,
You understand
Suppose that you're man from gay Paree,
home of romance.
In sunny France.
But l don't know word Of your Fran
cais'
And German too is Greek to YOU.
Do YOU think that you can find way 10
say that you love me?
why certainly.
Words are not the only thing,
When you are making love, you're eyes
are always awhispering:
Come, be my turtle dove"
Every time you take her hand
She knows your love is true,
And lips are only needed
When you steal a kiss or two.
But be careful not to steal more than two
For If you do you will again hear: Il hate
you"
This exchange related to the dis
parity in ages of the "sweethearts;

10000 PERSONS
ATTEND MEET
AVIATION COMMITTEE AS
SURED OF SUCCESS
Cars, Run on Two Minute Schedule,
Haul Crowds from Early
Morning Until Late in
the Afternoon

The attendance at Dominguez park
yesterday was a source of qualification
to the aviation committee and that
the meet will be q great success scien-
titically and financially seems assured.
At the Pacific Electric station it was
announced last night that $4,000 tickets
had been sold to persons visiting AVia-
tion field yesterday. With the crowds
that went to the field in autos $4,000
was regarded as q conservative estt-
mate of the crowd.
The work of the deputy sheriffs in
handling the crowd was admirable,
and no arrest was recorded at the
emergency police station.
The success of Mondays trial flights
attracted a large crowd and it is eX-
pected the attendance will increase
each day.
From o'clock yesterday morning
until late in the afternoon crowd be-
sieged the Pacific Electric building,
and despite the fact that cars were
run on a two-minute schedule, it was
impossible to carry the persons to Do
minguez field as fast as they appeared.
The aerial meet is attracting atten-
ton in all parts of the country, and
every hotel in Los Angeles is crowded
to it's capacity.
Louis James of the Louis james,
theatrical company wired his manager,
Branch O'Brien, last night to be sure
to obtain a box seat for the Sunday
meet at Aviation park.
The committee announced last night
that slight mishaps and strong WIND
had prevented carrying the program
out on schedule time yesterday, but to-
day arrangements have been made tol
keep the crowd entertained all theI
time.
I'VE will have a machine flying
every minute of the time Wednesday
announced Dick Ferris |
last night. "While some of the crowd
was disappointed yesterday, those who
and saw the flights after the
wind had subsided were well repaid
for their time and money. BY the lastI
of the week persons in Los Angeles
will come to a realization of the fact
that a real aerial meet is in progress
and that Los Angeles is the proper
place for making midwinter flying rec

COMPANY'S OFFICE
IN WOMAN'S POCKET
PECULIAR QUESTION DECIDED
IN TRIAL
In Odd Mining Case Promoter is
Found Guilty of Concealing
Information
Especial to The Herald. ]

PASADENA, Jan. 11.-W. a. Vernon,
$40 Lincoln avenue, was found guilty
this evening by Judge Mcdonald after
an all-day hearing of having willfully
concealed information from j. B. Runk
about the Mimareau mine, in which
Runk is a large stockholder Sentence
was deferred at the request of the de-
fendant for two days.
The case is one of the most remark
able in the history of the local courts
Vernon and his wife were the executive
officers Of the company in which Runk
was a heavy investor. Runk demanded
of the wife that she, as secretary of the
corporation, show him the books. The
contention was made that they were in
Mexico. and Runk then accused Vernon
with Withholding information about the
company and the case was set for trial.
Then came athe first snag when Mrs.
Vernon refused, even under order from
the court, to produce the books. She
was fined $100 and sentenced to serve
one day in jail for contempt of court
This placed another aspect upon the
matter, and then she intimated
through her attorney, that if purged o.
contempt she would produce the DOCKS
for inspection in court
The next move in the case was a
series of delays which postponed the
hearing for weeks until the patience OF
the court was exhausted, and today the
action was brought to trial. 1t was
then testified to that two days prior to
the time he defendant had told Runk
the books were in Mexico the aforesaid
books had been inspected in Pasadena
This method of rapid transit on the
part of the corporation records did not
appeal to the judge.
One of the most peculiar questions de-
cided during the trial was where is the
office of a corporation which does not
maintain any specific office? The court
decided that since the company had no
office and the secretary carried the
books about, the office of the company
wandered hither and thither with the
secretary, in her pocket, as one of the
attorneys facetiously put it. Thus,
legally, Mrs. Vernon is a sort of per-
ambulating office for the Mimareau
Mining company.
