LANSING WOMAN
FOLLOWS MISS BROOKS
With Stove Poker She Keeps
Men at Bay; Warrant
For Her Arrest.

Mrs. Charles Krum of Lansing. with
a stove poker for a weapon. stood off
street contractors. teamsters, village
trustees and others who were attempt
ing to lower the grade of a street in
front of her boarding house.
She held the fort all day yesterday
and today at noon she was still In I'M
disputed possession of the street and
the bravest teamster did not dare ques-
ton her right to hold the rort-
The trouble arose when the village
trustees of Lansing concluded that ii
would be wise to make a deep cut in a
sandhill on one of the main streets of
the city to avoid a useless grade.
The preliminaries were all attended
to but they had not reckoned with Mrs.
Charles Krumm and her stove poker.
When the teamsters appeared on the
scene to do the grading Mrs. Krum
beat their horses with her stove poker
If a teamster objected he was alsa
beaten.
Hubby Calls Constable.
Finally the street was cleared and
Mrs. Krum sat on the sidewalk in front
of her home waiting fer another at
tack. Finally one OF the trustees
Charles Miller. esayed to drive her from
the street.
He gave her a shove in the breasi
and she alleges that he kicked at her
Her husband Charles Krum went out

lowing his arrest. ana gave a recog
nizance bond in the sum of 500. Ths

The influence of Miss Virginia Brook
seems to be infectious. The idea o
a woman beating off a crowd 0
teamsters and lighting one of the trus
tees of the village while her husban
rushed about excitedly in search of
constable presents a conception of tn
topsy t~urvyness OF things when womal
suffrage prevails.

Mrs. Geo. Nicholson, of 423 w. Sib-
ley street, Hammond, Ind, and a grad
uate nurse of the Episcopal Hospital,
of Philadelphia, rebelled when the sur
geon told her that her only hope was
in an operation. Mrs. Nicholson, be-
ing a nurse and knowing something
of the line of treatments that are be-
ing given in DR.. Leedy's Office. in suites
80 and 33 Rimbach building, over the
Lion Store in Hammond, decided that
! it would be much more agreeable 10
take this new and conservative treat
ment than to risk her life under the
surgeons knife. Now, after taking
| the treatment, she is sure that abe did
the right thing and writes the follow
ing statement for publication:

A rather novel idea for sum-

tables, spread over them the
big frames made for wagon

should be of vfsferfa with the
heavy stems running down
through the center of the table
to the standard, the table itself
to be covered with a lilac art
linen square. with servicttes to
match. The second table should
have the umbrella of pond
lilies, their long stems twfning
about the handle and being
caught at the bottom by cat
tails, the table being covered by
nm art square of corn color with
the s~erviettes to match. The
third table may have the UNI
breIIa of the crimson rambler

with the art linen In the old

The fourth table may be of

SUES CRIPPLED
CHILDREN HOME
FOR ACCOUNTING
F. E. Crosby Claims Part of Els.
tate His Father Willed
to Institution.

The Home for Crippled Children at
Clifton and Park venue was made
eo-defendant in a suit in which testi-
mony was taken before the vice-chan-
cellor 'oday, involving an accounting
for $3.50 and settling in equity a real
estate transaction between father and.
son. August F. Rosinger, an executor
of the state of Ebenezer M. Crosby,
the father, was h other defendant In
the suit prosecuted by the son, Frank
e. Crosby, who was represented by
Frank Benjamin.
The father died in April of last year,
and in his will left his entire real and
personal estate to the home. which is
interested in the suit as a legatee.
The son, according to the papers in
the case, owned a house and lot in
Ridge street, which he conveyed to his
father some time before his death, the
agreement being that the father was to
hold title for his sons benefit. and
they a other real estate transactions,
one covering 124 Central avenue, for
which the father, according to the son,
received $4,250, instead of $4,000, leaving
$3.50 u~naccounted for.
Several disagreements arose between
the Crosbys after the Ridge street
transactions and became acute
when the Central avenue conveyance
was made.
1t was set up by the defense, which
was represented by Arthur F. Egner,
the Central venue property was
to be sold by the father for the benefit
of the son, but that the son was to be
paid on a basis of $4,000, according to
between the two. That
there was not the least intention to de-
fraud was also a point made by the
defense.
Several real estate agents testified to
the transactions between the father
and son and the Central avenu deal
particularly.

MADERO FEARS
BOMBS On WAY
To MEXICO CITY
Locomotive May Be Run Ahead
OF His Train for
Protection.

JUAREZ, Mex, May 24.-Whether
ceed to Mexico City so long rs railroad
traffic near there Is being impaired was
considered at the insurrecto leaders,
headquarters today. The aews from
Mexico city that the insurreetos were
still destroying railroad and Geographic
communication visibly caused much
disquietude here.
The suggestion that the insure los
near Mexico City have not been in
formed of the signing of a peace agree
ment is not regarded as fully EXPLAIN
ing the situation. 1t is considered UNI
fortunate thai Senior MaIero. The
avowed leader of the nsurrectos.
should have to prepare for himself an
armed protection to go to the capital.
The possibility of Madero's train be-
ing blockaded between towns in some
remote locality while on his way to
Mexico City is being considered. The
plan to run a locomotive a short dis
lance ahead of the Madero train to
scout for bombs has caused comment.
Figueroa, the insurrecto chief, opel
ating near CuernaVaca, will not lay
down his arms until Madero is safely
arrived in Mexico City, according to
advices received by Madero today. Ac-
entire syn athy with Madero. but in
tends to remain in arms until the pro-
~visional government is established.
