has struck her, beat her, bruised her,
cursed her, and in many other ways
has abused her. She says he failed in
every instance to furnish her with
physician although she is the mother
of nine children.
Last September, she said, she was
compelled to leave him and to bring
an action against him. But for the
sake of her children, on his promise
to treat her well, she afterward went
back to live with him, dismissing her
case. She declares that after a short
time he began his abuse once more
with renewed viciousness, and that he
became so brutal that her children
had to take her away from her home
during one night recently.
She asks the court to compel her
husband to furnish her with a rea-
sonabIe sum to enable her to live
the rest of her natural life. She says
she has no clothing or money to pur-
chase any. She claims she and her
husband own property here valued in
the aggregate of $500.

MYRA'S COMBINATION
Former Joint Smasher Calls w. A.
White a CrawfiSh.

Myra McHenry, who has returned
from Washington, and is spending the
summer in her native state, is stump
ing southern Kansas in the interests
of the regulars and Senator Charles
Curtis. She has sent an energetic
article to the State Journal in which
"the machinist doing business in the
south win of the capitol is ruthlcssly
derided.
GAS to William Allen White" she
writes, ST am surprised that Senator
Curtis throws away his time on him.
1 know a crawfish when I see one. I
have caught them; they always back
out when you get them in tight
place. remember how he crawhshed
out in the senate investigation"
This scathing reference relates to
the cross examination of w. A. White
and Dave Leahy, wherein Mr.. White
was the star, and the subsequent mock
session held by the newspaper men, at
which Myra McHenry herself is said
to have ShOne.

Macon, Ga, July 30.-Still suffering
intense pain from the wounds inflicted
by the father of the man she says she
loves, Essie Carter of Dawson declares
that she will sue her assailant for
heavy damages, probably $4,000. The
man who attacked her is w. S. Do
zier, clerk of the superior court in
Dawson The son is Vogt Dozier. The
injured woman is now in Macon, where
she is slowly recovering from her
wounds. She has employed Macon
attorney.
The story of the attack on Essie
Carter is almost without parallel in re-
cent Georgia history. She was taken
from her bed late one night by w. ;.
Dozier and a half dozen men, among
them a negro. carried TO the ROAD anu
there horsewhipped almost into IN
sensibility.
The motive of the men, and espe-
cially of the elder DoZier. was to pun
ish the young woman for lavlshing her
attentions upon Vogt Dozier. Young
Dozier was in love with her. His fath-
er did not approve of this, and some
weeks ago gave her notice to leave
Dawson. She left but later returned
Then followed the whipping
The Carter woman says her cries or
pain and pleadings for mercy were
unheeded by the men who hogged her.
On the contrary, parts of her night
gown We're stuffed in her mouth to
stop her cries. The man who laid on
the lash did not stop until he was so
tired he could continue no longer.
At first the life of the injured wom-
an was despaired of. She was brought
to Macon, however, and under the best
medical attention is slowly recovering
The accompanying picture was taken
of her as she lay in bed, propped up
by pillows.
The elder Dozier does not deny the
Carter woman's story. He defends his
action on the ground that it was neces-
sary to save his son. He has issued q
statement in which he says:
1--WE have in our home very way
ward boy, who, in spite of all that his
mother and I, my sons and our friends
could do, has proven incorrigible to
date. but he is ours and we hope yet
to reclaim him. In our efforts to do
so this woman, Essie Carter, crossed
his pathway and apparently infatu-
ated him with the result that his con-
duct became disgraceful, intolerable
and criminal. 1t was very humiliating
to nv family. The municipal officers
appealed to me and while advising me

ANTHONY IS HERE
First District Congressman
COnfers With Friends.
Believes Roosevelt Campaign
Will Help, Not Hurt Taft.

Congressman d. r. Anthony, who is
spending a couple of days in Topeka,
believes the third party movement is
on the decline and that the Roosevelt
sentiment will aid rather than injure
the chances of President Taft for re-
election. Then, too, Anthony sees the
overwhelming defeat of the progress
ives in the primary fight in the First
district and the elimination of Stubbs
and Capper and the defeat of the
Roosevelt electoral candidates"Should
they be permitted to remain on the
ticket.
Anthony is holding counsel with the
regular leaders today in a room on the
sixth floor of the National hotel. He
came to Topeka, not to speak, but to
fight. He admits the congressional
night in the district is red hot, but says
he likes it and defies Judge Stuart
his opponent-to tell where he stands
on the presidential situation.
why don't Stuart come out of the
brush and tell where he stands %
queried Anthony. Hes on the pro-
gressive hand picked slate, so why
don't he fly his colors?"
When asked concerning the situa-
ton in the district, Anthony seemed
hopeful
81 will win by big majority" said
the First district congressman.
What do you think of the Curtis
Stubs fight in the district?'' Anthony
was asked.
Curtis will win by big majority
declared Anthony. 81 have visited
every county in the district and was
surprised at the Curtis strength. Last
week L was in Jackson county, consid-
cred one of the most progressive COM
munities in the state; and found the
sentiment almost unanimous for Cur
tbs. AS for the Roosevelt electoral can
didates, they will be badly beaten in
the district. The people are awake to
the effort to steal the party ticket the
party emblem and the party prestige
and will not be misIed.'
"Will Taft win in the November
election % was asked
We'll, wouldn't bet all my money
on it just now" said Anthony, 'but he
is surely gaining strength and I be-
lieve he has a good chance. The rad
icals in the party will vote for Roose-
Welt. That's sure. But would rath-
er have them vote for Roosevelt imam
for Wilson and the third party s1tua-
ton will strengthen us in the fight
Anthony will devote most of his
Shawnee county time to visit with
the regular leaders. He may speak at
several ward meetings tonight and is
planning to make a speech in Ross
Vile before returnin gto Leavenworth.

Jeannette's Manager Says He Is Now

New York, July 30.-'It is not Gus

Gibson muttered the $4,000 to Johnson u-l-
