Ten more ladies joined the swim- hing and gymnasium class at the Y. M. C.

 Secretary Blanton, of .he local r. M. c. A. stated last night that he has heard many expressions along the line referred to in the Graphic yes- terday morning, in which it was urg- cd that a business women's class be given an evening hour at the local "Y" to give the ladies employed in downtown stores and offices an op- portunity of enjoying the benefits of the Association, especially the com- forts and pleasures of the natator- ium. He said that Physical Director Wilson informs him that every night is already taken up with classes and i that if the merchants will permit their salesladies, those of them that would like to join the business women's class, to get off for an hour in the af- ternOon, two or three times a week, he could arrange to organize their class for them. It is not believed that there would be more than two or three salesladies from any one store who would join and one mer- chant has already told the Y M. c. A. official that he would permit his lady clerks to spend an hour at the Y. M. c. A. on two or three afternoons each week.

was stifling. At least two dozen empty beer and whiskey bottles. the contents of which Mrs. Dickens said had been drunk by Hacket,t were scattered about the room. Some were in a dresser drawer and others had been taken from the room and placed in an adjoining storeroom.
 Upon coming to Pine Bluff on All gust 1, Hackett deposited $19 with the day bartender at the Arlington. Dr. Asa Brunson attended him earlier in the week and a part of the money was paid to him for his service. Sey- eral dollars went for whiskey and beer and some of it is still on deposit there

POLICEMAN QUITS WANTS A HEARING BILLY WEST SAYS HE DID NOT 'TIP OFF" SALOON MEN WHEN
 RAID WAS PLANNED.
ANOTHER IS INVOLVED
Doc Satterfield Made the Charge Police Committee to In.
 vestigate.

The police committee of the City Council will meet Saturday night to listen to some charges that are said 10 have been filed against Patrolmen Dec Satterfield and Billy West, but none of the members of the committee would state last night the nature of the charges. The sudden resignation of Patrolman West last night created a stir in police circles and it is most likely that there will be some inter- esting developments within the next few days. Although Patrolman West has quit the force, Patrolman Sattef- field has not intimated that he intends to hand in his resignation nor is It known positively that direct charges have been preferred against the latter officer. It is said that Patfolman West was asked to hand in his star by Chief Parnell.
 Although the charges against Pat rolman West have not been written up and presented to the police com mittee. it is stated that his resigna- tion was asked for because he IS charged with having tipped off, the proprietors of the Two E'9" saloon when Assistant Chief of Police Reeves and several of his men wee planning to' investigate the reports that whis- key was being sold from the saloon on Sundays. Satterfield makes this charge against West, it is said. Neith- CT of the officers could be seen last night for a statement.
 It leaked out last night that there had been bad feeling between the two patnlmen for some weeks; that it or iginated some weeks ago when charge was made against RtENman satterfield that he went to Dumas about year ago and guarded num- Der of scabs who were working there while a stlike was on. This action on the part of Satterfield, which he de- nies it is said, brought about ill feel ing towards him by number of un- ion men of this city and it is reported that the unions of the city are c1r- culating a petition, requesting the re- tirement of Patrolman Satterfield from the force.
 Patrolman West, it is said, was giy- en the privilege of resigning from the force or facing charges before the po- lice committee, and handed in his re- signation. He is said to have request ed the Chief to give him a hearing before the police committee and hand ed in his resignation to remain off the force until he is either vindicated or found guilty of the charge. He says he did not "tip off" the saloon men and that the charge made by Sater- field is .sjoh."

Took q Hot Drink.

At Waukon on Sunday a man
named Balzell got hold of a bottle
containing a quantity of ammonia
and other strong ingredients, being
used by a party to clean his gun bar
rel, and before he could be prevent
ed had taken mouthful of the stuff
thinking it was alcohol. He was adj
vised to seek pump and wash out
his mouth which he lost no time in
doing. The stuff burned him terri
bly, and he suffered great agony.
On being questioned later the man
said little of the stuff had gotten into
the throat, else death might have re-

river section and is a brother of the
man who murdered a woman near
Rossville a couple years ago and
then suicided in the county jail

Four-Year-Old Gets Pearl.

Probably the largest and most
valuable pearl ever taken from the
waters of the Boone river was dis
covered near Webster City by a A.
year-old baby playing in the water.
The youngster is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. j. Pringle, and the pearl
probably is worth from $50 to 5000
Mr.. Pringle was fishing and had
taken the youngster along with him.
While he fished, the baby amused
himself playing in the shallow water
near his father. He picked up all
the clam shells he could find and
piled them upon the shore. While
doing this the little fellow ran upon
the pearl, which he brought to his
father, thinking it "a pretty stone"
The pearl is about as large in dame
ter as good sized lead pencil and is
richly colored.

rather exciting experience one day
last week. She was walking alons
the street when she encountered a
flock of chickens headed by chesty
rooster, and when she endeavored
to shoe his majesty away he attack

extent. A lady came to the girls
assistance and the conceited rooster
decamped, but not until it had dis
played some more nerve by starting
to attack the lady also.

Hickory Whip Saves Life.

West Liberty, June 20.-A hick-
DRY whip in the socket of the steel
pillow upon which he was seated
while working in his field south of
town, proved Asa Ford's lightning
rod and it held responsible for his
escape when a bolt split the whip,
ran out over the tongue of the pillow
and killed one of the team of horses.
The flash temporarily blinded Ford,
but he suffered no other effects of
the visitation and the mate of the
dead horse gave no evidence of in
jury and stood quietly as the other
fell across the splintered tongue.
