OPINION GIVEN
BY vERMIL|0N
COURT ovERRULED DEMURREH
IN THE HIxoN DIVORCE CASE
FOR JUDGMENT.

In an opinion received this morning
nv Clerk George Phillips from judge
6. w. Vermilion, who is spending MS
vacation at his home In Centerv1ile,
the defendants demurrer is overrulea
in the Hixon divorce matter and the
case will be heard later In the as
trict court.
During the March term an action
was begun by Helen T. Hixon aealns.
Charles S. Hixon in which it was
sought by the plaintiff to recover
some $4,000 of a Judgment that was
in the form of alimony granted tne
plaintiff in Cook county, ILL.,, In l9oo'
and which had not been paid by the
defendant. The divorce was granted
and IS per week alimony was allowed
for the support of the plaintiff anu
their son, Charles Downward H1xon'
aged five years, by Judge John Gid
bons of Chicago.
Since the granting of the divorce,
the defendant married again ana mas
ignored the Judgment of the Illinois
court. This led to the action started
in the district court of Wapello
county March 81, 1911, when 1t was
sought to force the payment OF the
Judgment which was fixed at $4,000.
Work & Work of Ottumwa defended
C. s. Hixon and filed demurrer In
which it was held that the district
court here had no Jurisdiction IN the
matter and that the judgment should
be subject to the court rendering 1t.
Also that the federal constitution did
not give this court Jurisdiction in the
premises. The court in his ruling
cites decisions of the United States
supreme court that are contrary to
the holding of the defendant and over
ruled the demurrer.

NEGRO BOUND
TO GRAND JURY
JESSIE GILMORE MUST ANSWER
TO BODY FOR ALLEGED
ASSAULT.

Having taken a change Of venue
from Judge l.. G. Hendershott in
police court to the court Of Justice OF
the Peace H. c. Nosler, Jessie Gil
more, a negro of Rutledge, was bound
over to the grand jury late last even
ing upon his waving preliminary
hearing on the charge of assault with
intent to commit manslaughter. He
is released from jail on $500 bonds.
Gilmore and number Of negroes
were having hilarious time in Rut-
ledge late Saturday night, SO 1t Is
stated, and when the climax was
reached some one pulled out a gun
and started to shoot. Norman Nor
flict, the prosecuting witness, declares
that he was lying in the bushes to get
away from the bullets but one found
him, striking him in the back. When
he met Gilmore next day the latter
did not speak to him and he therefore
accuses him of the shooting. From
what can be learned of the ARRAY from
the other negroes, Gilmore, 1t he was
doing the shooting, was en-
deavoring to hit Will Herrell but
plugged Norflict instead.

Tri. Weekly Courier
Will Go 10 Cash
In Advance Basis
Watch Date on
Label on Paper
Do Not Let Your
Subscription Expire

More than q year ago the circula
ton of the Ottumwa Daily Courier
was put on CASH in advance basis
1t has been found to be very satisfac
tory to both the subscribers and the
publisher.
For years it had been the general
custom of the country for publishers
to send a paper till the subscriber
sent a written order to the office to
stop it. Some publishers would hard
ly stop paper even when told to dc
so by letter, but there are not many
of that kind left now.
About ninety per cent Of the sub
scription list of the Ottumwa TIL
Weekly Courier is now, paid in ad.
vance, and it is evident from many OF
the letters we receive from sub.
scribers, that they prefer to pay for
all their papers in that way and then
have the papers stop unless the sub
scriber sends in the money to pay for
it.
Almost everyone prefers the ad.
vance payment, then they are not
paying for any dead horse" and they
do not have to worry for fear Dill
will be run up on them.
Hundreds of people prefer the Daily
Courier to any other daily, and one OF
the reasons they give is that it stops
when the time is out, then when want
it. started again send in the money
to pay for it, and I'm never owing any
thing for my paper"
The government postal department
has made ruling that subscriber to
a tri-weekly publication who is more
than six months in arrears Is not en-
titled to receive the said paper and
that the publisher must not send such
paper for a term longer than six
without pay.
The publishers of the Tri-Weekly
Courier have tried to live up to the
six months term allowed by the gov
but find that in spite OF the
closest watching, there will be few
names get past the six months limit.
This makes it unfair for both the sub
scriber and publisher and it has been
decided to put the circulation Of the
Tri-Weekly Courier on the same basis
Of all the larger daily papers of the
state-that is on q cash in advance
basis-this pleases the subscriber be-
cause he Is not being continuously
called upon to pay up back bills. He
pays when he starts the paper and
hen the publisher notifies him just
before his subscription expires, and II
le wants the paper continued, he
,ends in another payment. But If the
subscriber does not want the paper
continued, he does not have to write
o the Office to have it stopped because
t will be stopped anyway unless 1t is
)aid for.
So we want our subscribers to con-
inue taki-g the paper, because we
Know they get better paper than any
me else can give them for the money
better markets, better editorials,
better continued stories, better local
Jews. better baseball and sporting
lews-and we ask that II your sub
'cription is not paid in advance, please
lend to the Courier, Ottumwa, Iowa,
IN amount Sufficient to pay your sub
,cription ahead. Look at the date on
he label on your paper, and 1t will tell
,ou when your subscription expires.
Please attend to this at once.

BOBBY BLACK TO
BACK FAIR JUMPS
FAT, CHUBBY LITTLE PLAYER,
WHO IS REMEMBERED HERE,
HAS A GIRL ARBITER.
TO REFEREE TOURNEY
Mary TregIia Of Sioux City is the New
"Umperlno" and Is to Work at
Her New Trade With
Abandon This Week.

B. Black, unshrinkable and a full
yard wide when considered in a base
ksll way, makes a new bid for favor
Ia sportdom. Chubby Bobbie, who viii
be remembered here in the old Iowa
State league days, never gets tired OF
watching the sphere from some angle
Bobby has some age on him, but ne
can't keep away from the diamond.
When he was nineteen years old, Mr..
Black started his base ball career by
nitching in the Northwestern league
sor Quincy, Ill.
"Kid" Baldwin was his catcher, and
black made good He was next noticed,
according to the dope" in the Penn
svlyania league. He then landed down
in Texas. from which league he wen.
10 Sioux City in 1889. With the Sioux
CITY team he made good as a fielder
and a pitcher. He was popular with the
fans When he gave up professional
baseball he played with the amateurs,
and also made good as business man.
To be on the diamond he frequently
umpired. But this is getting away from
the story.
Bobby Makes Find.
BOBBY Black now has discovered a
new find in one Mary Treglia. the
girl umpire" She is the daughter OF
Mrs. Rose Treglia, of Sioux City, and
IS an adept at baseball. She can pitch
end catch with the best of boys. Black
saw her wonderful performances. He
Immediately signed her as an umpire
Her first official work will be at the
baseball tournament at Laurel, Neb.,
tcday. Friday and Saturday. A number
Of Nebraska teams will compete at
this tournament and Miss Treglia and
Bobby will be "steeriks and safe"
callers. and also put padlocks on the
Jaws of the fussy ones.
One of the teams to play at, this
tournament will be the Wayne team
Dial Alderman, a former Sioux City
southpaw, is to do the twirling for
that team Miss Treglia, in her sweet
italian voice, will toll off the balls
and strikes Bobby Black says this is
The first stride toward woman suf-
TRACE, and he prophesied it would
revolutionize baseball.
Girl Will Have Restraining Influence.
Bobby said: Think Of an cratic
pitcher standing on the mound trying
to do his best with sweet voiced
girl standing behind. him saying de-
murely: Ball one Ball two 1t would
be vulgar to spit on the ball. It would
be uncouth to pick up a handful of
dirt and rub the sphere. Then, another
thing: the twirler dare not. If he be
a gentleman, turn around and puncture
the air with epithets. The little damo
on the strike and ball proposition
would be the whole thing"
In Miss Treglia Mr.. Black thinks
he has an "umperino" of rare quality.
Miss Treglia is ball player herself.
She can throw and catch finely, and
knows the fine points of the game.
She qualified as an umpire when she
tanned the Commercial club teams in
Sioux City.

Love WITNESS
IN DIVORCE CASE
FORMER OTTUMWAN SAYS WIFE
LAY IN BED TILL NOON sMok-
ING cIGARETs.

Baker Ore, June 14.-Sidney C.
Love, formerly of Chicago, was on the
stand all morning in the hearing of his
suit for divorce againse Marjorie
Burnes Love, which began yesterday
before Referee Charles p. Murphy
The questioning Of the witness was
along the lines of his business affairs
prior to and after his marriage to the
defendant, especially his financial af-
fairs when they lived in Rofant, Eng
land, when the quarrel which resulted
in their separation took place.
When the matter of his wife's f1t-
ness to care for the child during their
residence in England and her habits
during that time came up Love said:
"She gave the child no care at all.
She never got up for breakfast and
seldom for luncheon and lay in bed
until 1 or o'clock every day smoking
cigarets. She smoked thirty-f1ve or
forty day. She was addicted to the
use Of sleeping powders continually.
What they were composed of do not
know"
Testfies on Wife's Letter.
Concerning letter alleged by the
pldllIClu " nave UCCA w ilICCH W A1lo
mother. by the defendant during her
illness after they were married Love
testified:
"As far a I know, the letter has
been destroyed; but she wrote my
mother telling her about our married
life, and, among other things she
said. concerning her own uselessness:
I don't see why Sidney don't trade
me off for yellow dog"
Concerning the reasons why he
wanted his wife to, leave England,
Love said:
"The reason was that I had lost my
money and had to go to work"
Mrs Francis Burnes, mother-in-law
of the plaintiff, was blamed for the
quarrel between Love and his wife.
Mrs. Love Aids Attorneys.
Mrs. Love sat by the side of her at
torneys and frequently directed them
to object to some of the testimony
and made other objections.
Mrs. Love and her mother arrived
here yesterday, much to the surprise
Of Love, who had expected his wife to
present her side of the divorce case
hearing by dispositions taken in New
York.
Her arrival here, accompanied by
Ter attorneys, is considered by Love
md his attorneys as an indication that |
he places small reliance upon the New
York decree granted on May "a and |
intends to fight the legal case to a
finish.

REVERSAL "FLIeHT OF FANCY"

Under the above heading the docket
of the West Publishing Co., has the
following:
A resident of Washington state, de-
string to rid himself of his insane wife,
of murder in the first degree, sought
a new trial on the grounds that the
trial Judge permitted magazines to be
sent to the jury room for the enter
tainment OF the jurors during their con-
finement. Dunbar, j., In disposing Of
the contention on appeal, took the
view that, in the absence of showing
that there was anything Objectionable
in the magazines, 1t would be presumed
that the court properly censored them
before permitting them to be sent to
the jury, and stated:
while the rights of defendant in
a criminal action must be maintained,
when once the court INDUCES in con-
sideration of bare possibilities, and re-
verses judgments because 1t was
within the range of possibility that a
juror might have received communi-
cation from the outside, the court will
wander from the path of reasonable
caution into the hazy realms of fancy;
for, when Imagination waves its magic
wand, sober calculation Is put to flight.
In the case cited, the court, by extend
ing its imagination a hairs breadth,
might have concluded that it was con-
ceivable that a communication con.
cealed in sandwich or biscuit would
reach juror, or would reach him in
one Of many other ways which are
conceivable. In addition, we must in
dulge some presumptions In favor of
the integrity of the jury. 1t is a
branch of the judiciary, and, If we as
sumo that jurors are so quickly for
getful of the duties of citizenship as to
stand. continually ready to violate their
oath on the slightest provocation. we
must inevitably conclude that trial
by jury is farce and our government
a failure"
