tRan IN feet from the dividing line
between properties. Vehicles are 70
laand aengthwise the street with
wheels within 5 feet Of the curb The
distance between posts win allow
this ana ii will leave the street clear
for other vehicles. Weights larger
than 10 inchesin diameter and hitch
ing rings are prohibited.
This ought to settle the hitching
most troubles. Those who want
POSTS may put them in, those who
do not may leave them out. There

terday Probate Judge Anderson al.
lowed Mr.. and Mrs, Harry Hampton
to retain possession Of their son, but
placed them under parole, stating
further. that II at any time In the
future complaint Ia made Of their
abusive treatment Of the boy, he will
|be taken from them without trial.,
The costs must be paid by the de-
fendant.
The witnesses introduced by tho
state swore to many instances Of
brutal and inhuman treatment Of The
child by its mother. The testimony
Of these witnesses made very COM
plete and connected story, telling Of
two specific instances when the boy
was whipped with large strap I'M
TIN the blows were heard all over
1.-THE neighborhood, and at ono time,
Il . . y
until interference was made.
There were also allegations to the
effect that Mrs. Hampton wes In
possession of a loaded revolver which
she had shown on several occasions
and that she was constantly abus-
ling the neighbors with profane and
lobscene language.
Mrs. Hampton denied oil OF tstse
ALLEGATIONS and several witnesses
were introduced to verify her s'ate-
lments. A small book strap was ex-
lhibited as the one used TO chastise
1.-THE child.
Il Attorney j. G.. Flemniing 81 Sa-
lima conduced the case for the defense
and County Attorney Rugh repre-
scented the state.

Twas when Mrs. Hampton d" apnstrat-
ed how hard she could strike With
