Details of the marital unhappiness

Coroner Taylor and others are of the

he was discovered before he got IN

carried out. On another occasion he
told Mrs. Paul that he was going

He got his pistol and went down,

couldn't fire the shot.
Time and again he made threats
10 kill his wife, himself and his step

Leslie returned last Sunday from
visit 10 his auuts in Spotsylvauia
county. but her husband refused TO
allow Mrs Paul 20 go TO the station
TO meet him. But the little boy was
met by Mrs. Binford. He hah waited
some time for some one TO meet him
and was being watched by a police
officer. AS soon as he saw Mrs. Bin
ford he told the officer that he knew
her. and she took him home.
The second time little Leslie ran
out TO get some one to help his
mother. but was told by the people
he went 10 see not 20 say anything
about il. Thereafter he lived in con
slant dread OF his stepfather.
Sometimes he was nice to me" he
said YEARLY, but most OF the time
he hated me. People kept on telling
mOthr to leave him, and I wish she
had. 7 wish she had never married
him, and then I would have her now.
Now ] haven't got anybody" He got
so tired from his long vigil that he
could hardly hold his ewes open.
Heavy blue lines were drawn beneath
his eyehds. and his face was the pic
ture Of WEAKNESS He had been
awake twenty-fOur hours. and, when
at last he was too tired longer 20
hold up his head, they put him in a
cot and he soon passed into the sleep
of utter exhaustion.
After her mothers death, Mrs.
Paul was reared by Mrs. A. r. Bin
ford Of 2505 Stuart Avenue, who
idolized her. Mrs. Binford was
aroused soon after the tragedy, and
at once went to the house where the
young woman lay dead. She was
frantic with grief, and could not be
comforted. She was taken away after
spending several hours by the bier,
unable longer TO stand her sorrow.

In an action for fire trespass on
the Black Hills National Forest
brought by the United States
against the Missouri River and
Northwestern Railroad, the jury
has awarded damages to the gov
eminent not only for the loss of
merchantable timber but also for
the destruction Of understandable
young growth. This is regarded by
Government officials as establishing
very important precedent. So far
as is known at the US. Department
of Agriculture, it is the first time
that any court has recognized what
foresters call the expectation val
ue" of young growth as furnishing
a basis for the award of damages.
The difficulty in the way of such
an award in the past has been that
there was no way to prove to the
satisfaction of the courts the money
value of the loss suffered.

The city of Redwood, named after
the river and that christened from
the redwood that grows upon it's
banks, is a beautiful, home-like
place, with wide streets and elegant
public buildings, including churches
that are models as well as a high
school building seperate from the
graded school, that is commodious
and attractive.
There are so many ear marks of a
city, with some of the elements
lacking, that one is at once impressed
with it. No saloons, and no drunk
en- people are seen in Redwood.
The 'Kahler," named after our
old friend, is the principal hotel and
is managed by Mr.. Baldwin, which
is conclusive evidence it is popular
and we'll patronized.
But now it is noon and the last
day of the fair. We followed the
crowd and crossed the bridge to the
inclosure where the hounds were to
chase the Kansas jack rabbits.
About three acres were fenced in,
the rabbits one at time turned
loose, and the hounds in pairs chased
them until caught and killed. We
saw several thus chased and killed
and thought it cruel and unsports-
manlike to thus cause the death of
rabbits while in captivity and unable
to escape. We did not enjoy that
sport.
Returning to town the newspaper
offices were visited. Found friend
Aiken busy at his Gazette and Starr
at his Sun Office.
| We left at 4 o'clock and returned
in two hours, arriving in time fol-
supper.
