look Up into the top OF a tall ellum
which stands in his Font yard and ne
seen a brown tail moths nest clean
in the tip top which was 80 or 10 feet
from the ground. The reason he had
Mt saw II before was because the
leaves had not fell and he couldn't
see il.
I'll haft 10 send for Hod and have
him cut that brown tale moths nest
OF tomorrow morning" says Slime and
so when Monday morning came he did.
When Hold had looked al the tree
Sine wanted 10 know how much il
would be worth 20 climb up and get
the nest. and Hold says a quarter. Sine
thought a dime would be enough and
after they had hemmed and hawed a
while Hod he agreed 70 do the lob
for q dime and 60 he tux of his boots
and begin 70 cline the tree. Hod got
clean up TO the top and was just rcch-
ing for the moths nest when he reach
ed too far and lost his holt and begin
TO fall

down he came banging hisseii against
the limbs terrible, Hold would fall FIVE
or ten feet and then he would strike
q linn and seem TO stop a second
or two and then he would lose his
balance and come on tumblin down
and after about five minutes he struck
the ground with a dull sickening thud
Sine helpt Hon onto his feet and
then he askt him, "Is there any bones
broke Hodi" Hold then askt Sine If
he calkilated there was any bones that
wasn't broke after falling 40 feet. Hod
then asked Slime for the 10 cents he
promised him, bat Sine he said he
wouldn't give Hold 10 10 cents until
he got that moths nest and then Fod
he limpt OF and said that raoths' nest
could stay In the top Of that ellum
until it rotted and he'd be eternally
switched before he'd cline up after It
again and break his fool neck.
But Hold said he hoped the moths
nest wouldn't rot, and that the eggs
would hatch out next spring and that
they would be enuff brown tale moths

WENT CUNNING FOR
THE GAY DECE|VER
Pasadena Girl Under Bonds
for Threatening to Kill
Former Lover.

Long Beach, Call Oct. 12-Julia
Ward Gibson. daughter OF q retired
Presbyterian minister of Pasadena, was
arrested today at the home Of A. d
Myers, a Nevada mining millionaire
after she had chased Myers out of his
apartments with a revolver. and forced
him to take refuge in the house Of
neighbor. Miss Gibson. was taken 10
Los Angeles tonight under IS zoe
PONDS 70 answer charges OF assault
with deadly weapon.
Miss Gibson acquired prominent
place in the news columns recently
when she filed a suit against Myers
Tor 100000 damages for breach of
promise Today she came 10 Long
Beach after having purchased a re
vClver, which she said she intended
10 use as a persuader in the event
Myers proved reluctant 10 accept her
proposal of immediate marriage. She
brought her father, W. f. Gibson, along
10 perform the ceremony without de-
lay.
Entering Myers home she made her
way 10 his apartments and demanded
to know whether he intended to mar
ry her. When he said no, she whipped
out the revolver, according to Myers
and declared he had just half a min
ute to make up his mind.
Before the half minute had expired
Myers found a door, and darting
through 1t. he hurried down a back
stairway and dashed across tho.
grounds surrounding his residence TO
a neighOr's house. From there he tel.

ARTILLERY ARM IS WEAK
Increased Detail of Troops 20 Man the
Coast Defenses of the Conn
try Badly Needed.

Washington, Oct. 12-Brigadier Gen
eral Arthur Murray. chief OF coast ar
tillery, L. S. A, in his annual report
10 the war department OF the eff
cheney and personnel of the service,
strongly advocates an increased detail
of artillery troops TO man the coast
defenses of this government.
1T is believed 20 be established be-
yond dispute" says General Murray in
his report, that in order 10 insure eff
ficient handling OF our coast defenses
in time OF war il is necessary that We
should maintain in time of peace at
least one full manning detail OF coast
artillery troops. This view has been
expressed repeatedly. not only by my
self and by predecessors as chief of
artillery. but practically all general Of
ficers who have commanded depart
ments containing a preponderance OF
coast artillery.
I'm time of war we must have at
each place liable TO attack such a num-
Der of coast artillery troops that they
will be sufficient not only to form d
fun manning detail but TO maintain a
full manning detail, allowing for alb
sentees, sick and wounded"
The report shows that the actual
strength of the coast artillery corps
on July l. 1909, was 634 officers and
1S,lO9 enlisted men. The authorized
strength on that date was 672 officers
and 1891 enlisted men.

MISSOURI RATE CASE.
Stubborn Contest Befort Supreme Court
of the United States.

Washington, Oct -Stubbornly con-
testing every point, attorneys for the
state of Missouri and the railroads
therein today began argument before
the supreme court as TO the validity of
the tW0-cent passenger rate, and max
imum freight laws Of the common
wealth.
1t is asserted by counsel that the is
sues in controversy Will affect railway
legislation in nearly every state in the
union. The case includes questions of
jurisdiction of federal courts over
state legislation and the proper basis OF
arriving at the remuneration guaran-
teed the railroads under the federal
constitution.
The federal circuit court held that
the laws were unremuneratiYe and en-
Joined their enforcement.
The arguments were opened by
Frank Hagerman for the Chicago, Bur
1ingtOn & quincy. He maintained that
the valuation of the property devoted
to interstate business as distinguished
from interstate business was in the
same ratio that earnings from the car
riage OF interstate freight and passen-
gers bore to the earnings from inter-
state business in the state. He argued
that IL costs more TO carry on local
than interstate business.

According to Sheriff Grant of Crown
Point the women have made several
trips into the Crown Point neighbor-
hood during the last three weeks in
an automobile. Approaching a farm
house, the sheriff said, the women
would tell the farmers and their wives
that they We're motoring to witness
the flight OF an aviator in the viein-

household would set off to see the
landing OF the mythical man-bird.

larders would then be robbed of but
