Sometimes the life of person who

guished by industry and usefulness.

the good influence therefrom may be
much more far reaching than is
agined.
Such was the life of ]. Q. Maze OF
529 East Fairchild street, who died
at his home at noon Thursday His
career has been one of endeavor and
efficiency, of good will and helpfulness
toward his brother-man. Mr.. Maze
has worked faithfully in the boiler
shops at the Santa Fe for 25 years.
He was always punctual. always care
full as q workman and a good fellow
among the shopmen.
He was born in Cloverdale, Ind, in
1S49. the same year by the way when
the men began to rush across America
to California for gold. As boy he
always had taste for mechanics,
and as he grew up he chose this trade.
1t was only natural then, that when
he came here in 1886, that the work
in the Santa Fe shops should draw
him and that he should find employ
ment there. He went into the boiler
department and has worked among
the huge masses of iron and machin-
cry nearly ever since.
Heart trouble caused his death
after he had been sick for some time.

Kansas avenue Methodist church, at 4

HE MAKES TWO HAPPY.
Judge Dana Gives Two Abused Wives
Their Freedom.

Judge Dana today granted two di-
vorces to unhappy wives whose hus-
bands it was charged drink bad whisky
and stay out late at night. In one case
the court assessed a judgment for $500
against a derelict husband who COM
PEELED his wife to work in restaurant
and refused to provide for her.
Anna Fry is a pretty little woman
of % summers, who told the court a
pitiful tale concerning his matrimon-
ial venture. She was just 20 years old
when she married Henry Fry. A year
later Henry found her a position in a
Junction City restaurant. Two years
later Fry homesteaded a farm in Idaho
and his wife lived in the wilderness
and did most of the work. When Fry sold
his equity for $4,000, Mrs. Fry got none
if it. Again she went to work in a
restaurant.
On the witness stand this morning
the woman told Judge Dana that her
husband never took her to church.
There were no summer vacations in the
Fry home and each day Anna labored
in the restaurant. On Sundry occasions
the woman was permitted to attend the
cent picture show. But that was the
limit of Fry's extravaganza. In more
than four years the husband spent less
than 500 for the support of his wife,
so the plaintiff testified. Then Fry
kept questionable company, gambled,
drank TO excess and came nome late
at night. He used vile and profane
language in speaking to his wife and
once he choked her.
The woman was delighted when the
court gave her a judgment for $500
She stated that she wants to become a
trained nurse and that the money will
help her to buy a little home and live
haDpily-an by herself.
Dora Evans told of her disappoint-
ments in the field of matrimony. For
almost six years she tried being happy
with Frank B. Evans. But to no avail
Down in Garrett, where the Evans
were married. the husband drank heav-
lily and gambled and abused his wife
she said. One day in 1909 he went tc
Kansas City, telling his wife that he
would sent for Ger the following week
Patiently Mrs. Evans waited for the
ticket that never came. Alone in the
world, she was compelled to earn hel
own living. Now she has learned thai
she can live more happily when Evan!
is absent than when his presence grace:
the household. Mrs. Evans was happy
as she walked from the court room
with the courts approval of an uncon.
ditiOnal release.

Manager of Zang's Brewing Company
and a Friend of the Masses is
= no More.

On Wednesday the remains of Mr.
Fredericks was borne to its last rest
ing place at Riverside cemetery, by
his friends, who were many. There
are few men who were better known
than was Mr.. Fredericks, and none
more useful and charitable than he
was. He was interested in every
project, having for its object the up
building of the city and no man did
more to uphold the credit of the city
than he did. These things were not
forgotten by the people, as was DEM
onstrated when they went by the hun
dreds to pay their last respect to the
great man, whose massive form lay
still in the icy grasp of death. The
Orion Singing Society rendered
beautiful selection in the home and
the singing section of the Turnverien
sang at the grave.

that, may peace like a river attend
