MEAT PRICES SOAR

New York, N. Y, Aug. 24.-Meat
prices have gone up and are still con-
tinuing their upward movement as If
they intended to establish an alti-
tude record. The poor consumers of
New York, with the emphasis on the
poor will have the choice between
bankrupting themselves to buy meat
and pulling their belts tighter after
having stricken meat from their bill
of fare. 1t is alleged that the higher
prices OF corn compelled" the meat
trust to raise the price of meat, as if
the meat trust ever bothered about
SO trivial thing as a sufficient rea-
son for it's doings. Whatever the
primary cause may be or may have
been, the fact remains that the trust
has given the jack-screw forcing up
the prices another turn and the re-
tailers, not to be outdone gave the
same screw not one but two or three
turns. If the packers raise the price
one cent a pound, the retailers
promptly charge to the consumers
from two to five cents more per
pound. Many people are of the opin-
ion that it is about time to reopen the
cold storage investigation.

MAIL ORDER MARRIAGE
ENDS IN Divorce SUIT
MILLARD KING, A DRY FARMER
AND HIS WIFE, EACH FILE
PETITIONS.

Mail order marriages do not always
turn out well, as has been demon
strated time and again. Courtships
conducted through matrimonial bu-
reaus and ending in the mating OF
couples usually have their finale laid
in the divorce court.
This has been the experience of Mil
lard King and his wife, Mrs. Myrtle
j.. King, who have filed rival petit
tions for divorce in the district court
of San Miguel county. King filed
suit first, and then his wife filed a
cross-complaint, asking that she be
awarded the decree of separation. The
two petitions are being heard before
referee and the evidence is volum-
inous.
According to Kings petition he is a
farmer living few miles east OF
Wagon Mound on homestead. He
located there in April, 1908, coming
to New Mexico from Whitley county,
Indiana. The loneliness of the plains
made him think he needed a help
meet. He subscribed for matri-
monial journal and answered an ad
from a lady in Lancaster, Pa. They
entered into correspondence and in
November of the same year, his pros
pective bride came to Las Vegas and
they were married at the Methodist
parsonage.
They went to the farm near Wagon
Mound to live. All went well until
February, 1909, when, so King al
leges, his wife tired of him and re-
turned to her home in the east, say
ing she would never come back. He
brought suit recently on the ground
of abandonment.
In her cross-complaint, Mrs. King
charges her husband with ill treat
ment and says this was the cause of
her leaving him. She asks a decree
of absolute divorce and the home
stead, which she claims King prom
ised to give her for marrying him.

LOWING TRAGEDY

Chesterfield Court House, Va, Aug,
24.-1he bloodstained automobile in
which Louise Owen Beattie met her
death, was driven into the yard OF
Chesterfield court house early today,
just before the trial of Henry Clay
Beattie, Jr., indicted for wife murder,
was resumed.
The prisoner was on the lawn when
the machine arrived and he calmly
inspected it. His father raised the
cushion of the front seat, revealing
mass of coagulated blood on the
woodwork.
Court convened at 10:3O O'Clock
and the prisoner took his, seat prompt
ly. TODAY was the first anniversary
of his marriage to the woman he is
accused Of numbering.
Thomas Owen, uncle of Mrs. Beat
tie, to whose home the prisoner
brought the body after the tragedy,
took the witness stand at 1920.
While the prisoner gazed fixedly at
him Mr.. Owen told how Beattie drove
up to the house on the night of the
murder, took his young wife into the
car and returned an hour later with
the dead body beside him. He said
Beattie cried "My God" as he drove
up and shouted "they have killed
Louise" Briefly and simply Mr.. Owen
told how the body was lifted from the
car, but said he did not examine the
body at the time. When it was pre-
pared for burial, however, he saw
the wound in the left cheek, which he
described as being as "big as half
dollar" AS the witness said this
Beattie mumbled ''half dollar" loud
enough for those near to him to hear.
Beattie's bloodsoaked clothes were
unrolled before the jury and the wit
ness identified them. The single-bar-
relied shotgun with which the COM
monwealth says the shot was fired,
was then exhibited. Mr.. Owen iden-
titled the gun as the one shown at
the coroner's inquest at which time
Paul Beattie swore that he had pur-
chased it for his cousin.
When the commonwealth counsel
announced that it was through with
the witness, Attorney H. M. Smith,
Jr., for the defense. began the cross
examination. Beattie toyed with a
pencil all the while.

some sections in the city where such
a request would be entirely superflu-
