TRIES TO SUPPORT
 TWO WIVES, FAILS
A,,est Discloses Case of Remarkable Dual Llfe-0ne Family Here,
 Another in Argenta.

I;ttle Rock, June 15.-The in' .h;Iity ot VIII T. Payne to sup ,,,two families and his subse oueut arrest for failure to care fo' h,s childlen, is dirG ctly rest onsi' he for the d,scovery..or remark ale double life alleged to have been led by the man and as a re- sult of the disclosure, he IS IT iii on charge of bigauy.
 Payne lived in Little Rock un' der his proper name and main tained his frit vile and oue child. In Argenta he is alleged to have have becu known as w. E. Holt and to have hod a wife of three months, who knew him under nc other uame.
 The uudoing of Payne was brought to climax yesterday morning iu the court of Justice oi inc Peace s. Ellenbogeu, when inc two wives of the man met and sccusiugly faced him. Each was moved to tears, and then to auger, and they turned fiercely on the man they accused of deceiying them.
 Payne was married to Mollie Fleet in Little Rock, February l, 1904, by Justice of the Peace w. II. Rankin. They have one child.
 Married Again Under Name of Holt.
 ca Mach 10, 1910, 1t IS allee ed that Payne, under the name of Holt. was married to Mrs. Mamie Davis of Argeuta by Justice of the Peace l.. w. Roberts. Mrs. Davis was widow with two chil- dren.
 Payne, who is painter by trade, has for some months been keeping a small fruit and mer- chaudise stand in Argents. It was there that he met his second wife, it is alleged.
 Until last March he was living at his home in Little Rock, req sonably attentive to his wife and child, Mrs. Payne said yesterday He gradually became less attent- i've and was absent from home frequently, sometimes for a week at a stretch. Recently, Mrs. Payne charges, he has contributed practically nothing toward the support of her or her child, and it was this that led her to com plain to Humane Officer Rankin. Mir. Rankin filed a complaint against Payne iu Justice Ellen bogeu's court and the man was arrested Sunday.
 Roth Wives Confront Man.
 The news of his arrest reached Mrs. Holt, wife No. 2, in Argen- ta, and she investigated it. Then she went to Humane Officer Ran kin and he took her tc court yes terday, when the "cruelty-to- children" case was called against Payne. She instantly recognized Payne as "Holt,' her husband. Mrs. Payne. who was on hand 10 testify, insisted that he was Payne, her husband.
 And then ss horror showed on the faces of the two women, Payne, looked at them and laughed lightly.
 "I didn't know it was wrong to have two wives," he said.
 Hum! You saw fit to change your name," remarked Justice Ellenbogeu. "Aud ignorance of the law is no excuse, anyway. I'll just bind you over for bigsmy and drop this little case"
 Payne went to jail in default of $500 bond.

For six years I was severely troubled with a bad skin disease, located principally on the shins. The trouble would appear in the form of small yellow blisters, characterized by very severe itching, etc. I tried sarsaparillas, so-called blood puri- treatment under a physician, but nothing did me any good. Becoming discouraged I left off all this treat ment, and just about this time saw $. .. s. advertised.

write few lines in regard to the con-
ditions of our depot. AS my daughter
was leaving here for Belding we went
TO the depot with her and if l should
express myself and my opinion of the
Accommodations, il was something fierce.
Both rooms were full of two kinds, one
of people and the other tobacco smoke
and once in while you will see person
that tobacco smoke is very offensive TO.

ed more than some, but | will say right
here that | have never seen such
miserable Accommodations as | have seen
on the Ann Arbor Il. II. ! have had
eight car loads OF lumber over the A.

all my life saw such filthy, dirty place
as the depot in Cadillac. 1t is simply
awful beyond description.
Fhe time referred to in this article
was last Wednesday morning. the
train from the east was 30 minutes late
and the one from the north % minutes
late, and the whole house blue with
tobacco smoke. don't know how this

think that the citizens of Alma ought to

PLAN TO STOP SMUGGLING.
Dealers In Gems Form Association to
Aid Authorities.

To stop the smuggling of gems. espe-
cially diamonds and pearls, a move
ment has been begun in the Maiden
lane district of New York city. Thirty
of the largest wholesale firms have
formed an association for the purpose
of cooperating with the federal au-
thorities in running down all snug
glers, whether dishonest dealers or re-
turning tourists.
One Of the means proposed for elm
mating the gem smugglers or at least
curtailing their activity is to induce
the London diamond syndicate or the
British authorities to keep accurate
records of shipments, as is done by the
customs authorities in New York. In
addition. the members of the new asso-
citation in New York are to obtain and
give information that will assist the
authorities in tracing shipments and
sales in New York and abroad when
ever there is a suspicion Of smuggling.
