A Pleasant Trip

Editor News
Notwithstanding the bad weather
and roads. I enjoyed my trip made for
Mr.. Lyon through Gods country a few
weeks ago. was waterbound at Co.
lumbia, (the best inland town on earth)
for two days. Still l did not care. l
spent one night at the Model Hotel,
kept by Mr.. and Mrs. Allen Walker.
The traveller that finds fault with them
would be hard to please. The other
night was delightfully."- spent with my
old friend Ed Hughes and his nice chill
dren. [ never was more royalty enter
tanned. didn't learn any thing from Ed
however, except how to ask questions,
and to do successful banking business.
He surely has his whole life in his
business. / also had a fine dinner at
DR.. Grissom's with my old friend of
North Carolina, Sam K. Breeding.
Then had the pleasure of carrying
him to Breeding, and of seeing uncle
Richie few days before his death. 1t
was indeed wonderful to see him so
cheerful and so well satisfied, feeling
assured at the same time, that he must
soon cross over on the other. side.
What a great blessing and comfort to
his family to know that according to
nature he had to go, yet the change
was for his good. Therefore they
should not grieve.
From Breeding to Edmonton and on
around to Gradyville. the roads were
almost impossible. From Edmonton to
Gradyville l had uncle Weeden with me.
and we spent Sunday with uncle Char
ley, and had a great day, attended two
Sunday schools, and cousin Ella fixed
us good things to eat. What more
could we ask? Nothing. From there
to uncle Henry Moody's-at the old
Moody home, where he was born nearly
eighty years ago, and spent his life
time, for he never new any other home.
I was also born there, but not so long
ago. nearly always have the pleas
ure when l am there, of sleeping in
the room where l first saw the light
over sixty years ago. Uncle Henry is
quite feeble, but as cheerful and happy
as can be, and his faithful Whenever
was one better or truer to her work
On to Greensburg and CampbeIlsville,
with orders for Wedikind, the Buchanan
Lyon Co., and also lot for our own
factory. Altogether, | had a great
trip.
On my arrival homeSI had a card
from Sam Breeding, saying he was
coming by to make us visit of day
! and night. He came, and is gone to
North Carolina. We certainly enjoyed
having him, and hope that he will see
his way clear to return to Kentucky to
live according to his present plans.
l have been on the road thirty odd
years, and never before have | seen a
five months straight summer weather
like we had last Summer, nor did l ev-
er see FIVE months straight winter until
this one, and | have watched these
things closely fo- thirty odd years.

FREE Of FORGERY,
HELD FOR B|GAMy
Jersey City Man Arrested as
He Leaves Court on New
ark Woman's Charge.

AS he was coming down the steps
of the Criminal Courts building,
New York, where he had just been
acquitted of forgery today, Fred Dun
bar, of Jersey City, was arrested for
bigamy by the police of this city. who
had been looking for him for two
years. M
Detective Walter Godfi ey. of the
prosecutors staff. made the arrest
With him were Lieutenants Farrell
and Ryan, of police headquarters.
The charge bigamy is made
against Dunbar by Mrs. Elizabeth
Baker, of this city.
The prisoners first wife is said to
be Mrs. Emma Woppler, of 764 sum-
NIT avenue, Jersey City.
Dunbar, according to the police,
has a criminal record. He is said
to have served a year in New York
for forgery, and to have been con-
victed of other crimes.
Mrs. Baker, 1t is said, also intends
pressing against Dunbar charge
of stealing $4,000 from her. This he
is said to have gotten away from her
by subterfuge after she had gotten

s 1000 FANS SEE BIG GAME
ON STARS BALL-PLAYER

One big narrow strip of gray as
phalt, fenced with fans decorated
here and there by gayer-clad fan
nettes, watched The Stars ball
player scoreboard yesterday. When
the battle had started in "Beantown'
Branford place resembled a strip of
very effective fiy-paper covered with
fans-their eyes on the scoreboard
and their thoughts riveted in Boston
city. At least 5000 persons were
present during the progress of the
battle. They came and went, but the
dyed in -the-wool' type remained
standing on tip-toes until the news
was flashed that the contest was
called.
SO faithfully does the "Ball-Player'
detail every point of the game that
the crowd was as excited as any
bleacher crowd possibly could be,
When Speaker made that home run
in the tenth inning the fans could
almost see the diamond. And when
Merkle made third base in the tenth
the crowds artics were beyond de-
scription.
"Come on, Matty, shoot 'em over. "
"Now, Iris let's have one over the
fence" Say, Meyers. you haven't
had home run in the series vet"
These were some Of the remarks
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1912-10-10

showed into the boards of the Ball
Player" AS 1t was. the enthusiastic
fans were simply able TO supply by
imagination all the scenes of the real
diamond.
The scoreboard man climbed to his
little platform about 2 o'clock, and
was greeted with a ringing cheer.
With few strokes he informed the
Newark public that the batteries
would be Matty and Meyers for New
York and Collins and Carrigan for
Boston And-on and on the battle
ragged. When runs were scored hats
and newspapers went up in the air.
1t was an unusual scene.
The fact that the actual game was
so far away has something to do with
the increasing of the crowd. They
couldn't get to Boston, so they did
the next best thing-they came to the
Stars ball-player. AS a matter Of
fact, thousands have begun to realize
that the ball-player shows them the
game even better than they could see
IL from the average seat on the
diamond, and so they are spending
the days of the worlds series at the
Star. The crowd began to collect
about l o'clock. and stayed faithfully
by the bulletin board until the an
nolincenent, that the game had been
called.

Leaders
Refused Bail

SALEM, Mass, Oct. 10.-Judge
Joseph F. Quinn, of the Superior
Court, today declined to order the re-
lease on bail of Joseph j. Ettor,
Arturo Giovannitti and Joseph
Caruso, whose trial on charges of
being responsible for the alleged mur-
der of Anna LopiZzo, a Lawrence mill
worker, is pending in his court
In his finding in each case Judge
Quinn said:
Assuming this court has authority
to entertain the within motion, as to
which l have grave doubts, find that
the defendant is not entitled as of
right to be admitted to bail, and there
is no such cause as moves the court
in the exercise of its discretion to re-
lease the defendant on bail. The
motion is therefore denied"
The trial of the three men will be
resumed next Monday, when a new
venire of $50 talesmen will report for
examination.

proach of federal reinforcements, the
women returned to daylight none the
worse for their experience.
