ONE MAN TOO CHIVALROUS
Desiring to Help Woman, He Gets
Pocket Picked Second Time.
WOMAN FRIEND HELD BY POLICE
Was Cooperating in Pool for Bond
when One of -CO-OperRtOrs Made )
a Quick Touch ON MP.
Bausher.

Charles Bausher is a mar of many woes.
Excitement has reigned where he has
been Of late, among the incidents being
the picking of his pocket twice-the same
pocket.
Bausher and a feminine friend known as
Clara Brown, seem to have been In the
Peterson saloon at 524 North Sixteenth
street, when two men, w. II. Smith, ad-
dress unknown, and F.. j. Peterson of 1911
Farnam street "obtruded themselves" as
Bausher puts it.
What next happened is not clear, but
after a little Bausher says he felt a
strange hand in his pocket. Extending a
search from the hands up the arm to the
body, he discovered that the hand belonged
to smith.
I'm robbed, I'm robbed" cried Bausher
in robust, sonorous tones.
Look on the noor-on the floor" shouted
the bartender.
Bausher did discover four S. bills under
the table and professed himself still out
a similar sum. The police appeared and
carried off the quartet to the station. No
more. bills were found, though Smith was
searched. He was held for trial and later
given ninety days.
Clara Brown, Peterson and Bausher were
held 10 appear as Witnesses against SMITH,
Miss Brown being detained and Bausher
being allowed to withdraw.
ChivaIrY His UndOinE.
Bausher went back to the saloon. Here
the bartender told Bausher that he ought
to so to the residence of Cora Weston, 6lS
North Seventeenth, to help raise the money
to get the Brown girl out Of jail.
Bausher feeling that perhaps having es-
corted Miss Brown into the saloon. or at
least having met her there, 1t would be the
chivalrous thing to help get her free from
custody.
So he went to the Weston place.
In a few minutes Bausher was back again
at police station saying he had been robbed
Of IS at the Weston house. Two men in
the house had just deliberately pulled the
money from his hand, he said.
The police took Cora Weston to the sta
ton and arrested c. w. Carter Of nll
South Sixth street as one OF the two men.
Bausher is now leading the simple life.

MAJOR MCCARTHY May RISE
Chief Q-uartermaAter of Department
of Missouri Goes East and May
Win Promotion.

The visit OF Major ID. E. Mccarthy. chief
q-uartermaster of the Department of the
Missouri, to Washington, is thought to
have something to do with his possible
change from this station, probably as de-
pot quartermaster at San Francisco, which
is regarded as one of the most important
q-uartermaster stations in the country,
During Major McCarthy's absence Cap
tain L. II. Kilbourne will act as chief
q-uartermaster.
Major Mccarthy is now near the top
rank of the majors in the quartermasteT
department and he will reach the rank of
lieutenant colonel within a few months,
which would naturally assign him to a more
important post than the one he now oc-
cuples.

Alimony Must
Go Higher, Too
Woman Demands Increased Allow
ance from Divorced Husband Be-
cause of Higher Cost of Living.

The high cost OF living is given as a
reason why a court allowance to a
from her divorced husband should be in
creased. Mrs. Isabella Smith secured a
decree last August from Ernest ]. Smith.
She received alimony in a lump sum and
$40 a month for the boarding and lodging
of their two boys.
Now Mrs. Smith comes into district court
again asking that the $40 be increased to
$40. Mrs. Smith declares that since the
decree was entered August "a, 1909. the cost
OF food and provisions and Of rentals have
so materially increased that $40 is far too
small a sum for the boarding and lodging
Of the said children, who are growing
rapidly and fast attaining young manhood.
and who have large and healthy appetltes."
