Daniel WandeII Who Shot
Neighbours Goat Guilty.

Daniel Wandell, one of the wealth
lest citizens on Staten Island, having
lived there for nearly eighty-four
yers, was found guilty of goat-get-
ting in the court of Special Sessions
at st. George, yesterday, and paid
$40 for it.
The complainant was Samuel Glib
son, the venerable Mr.. Wandell's
next door neighbor. Mr.. Wandell
admitted getting the goat with a shot
gun and said he believed he was Just
flied.
That goat, your Honor, came re-
peatedly over my premises and ate
up all my roses and daisies. l
warned Neighbor Gibson to keep said
goat on his W ground before / got
tt mean shot It,"
superintendent Freel, OF the So
ciety for the Prevention Of Cruelty
to Animals, was In court and, as you
might say, speaking of goats, butted
IN.
"Mr. Wandell, would you have
killed a horse if 1t had taken your
daisies?" he asked.
NO." said Mr.. Wandell. IA horse
is a domestic animal and a goat is
something different, yet"
Mr.. Wandell, though wealthy, did
not have $40 when the fine was i'm
posed, but a friend slipped him a
bank note which he turned over to
the Court Clerk.

the authorities did not receive any
A telegram was received by the
clerk, instructing him to deduct
$3.50 from the balance due the Harri-
son Construction Company on his re-
port. The council could not see 1t
that way, wanting something more
substantial than the telegram to au-
thorize the deduction and also some
statement as what the alarms will
actually cost.

the sewer committee, was appointed
a committee to confer with Mr..
Potts and report 20 the council.
The W alarm proposition was
a matter which was left out of the

STOLE CHILD
AT KEYPORT
Mother Starts Action for Re-
covery Of Little One.
rectal to the EVENING NEWS.

Special to the " IE VS..
Keyport, Oct. 31;-An article to
the following effect appeared in New
York papers this week:
"A petition for a writ of habeas
corpus was filed in the county clerks
office in Brooklyn Monday on behalf
of Mrs. Lavender Y. r. M. Dunlap,
who seeks the custody of her infant
daughter, Lavender Amelia, taken
June %, last by violence, it is al
legged, from the home, of the matern-
al grandmother at Keyport.
The afliction for the writ was
originally made June rs in New
York county, but SO far counsel for
Mrs. Dunlap have been unable to
serve the defendant, William Allen
Dunlap.
The Dunlaps were married in Mil
waukee April 1, 1907; lived for a
Der, 1911, established themselves in
Garden City, l.. l. There the trouble
began. On June 8, Mrs. Dunlap left
Garden City. taking her baby with
her and went to her mother, Mrs.
Mabel Byers at Keyport.
Her husband had kicked her, she
stated, as they were leaving a dance
In Garden City and about 3 o'clock
in the morning forced the front door
Of the friends house in which she
had taken refuge, broke the lock on
her W door and dragged her
through the street in her night dress.
She was saved from further assault
on reaching home, she alleges, by the
interference of a maid.
The baby, according to the petit
ton, was stolen while the mother
was dining with friends In Manhat-
tan. Her husband, 1t is alleged,
forced his way into Mrs, Byer's home
beat the proprietress when she at
tempted TO prevent him and decamp-
ed with the little child.
Mrs. Dunlap, Immediately brought
the habeas corpus proceedings
through, O'Gorman, Battle & Mar
shall, of Manhattan. She merely
asked for the custody of the child,
saying that the defendant had no
property in his own right-only 1926
income a month from his MOTHER
and that she would live with her
W mother at Newport.
At the law offices of O'Gormap,
Battle G Marshall it was said that
they had not been connected with
the case since July. They had been
unable to serve the defendant. The
fling of the Dapers at this time in
Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-10-31

dicated that some new action was
to be brought through other counsel,
they thought probably a suit for
separation in which service may be
made by publication.
Dunlap is about forty years old, it
is said. His mother is now In
Europe and a sister, Mrs. Lawson
johnson, lives in Europe.
The parties are all known here.
Mrs. Mabel Byers, was the proprie-
tress of the Whitlock Villa in Front
street at West Keyport during the
summer of 1911 and 1912. Mr.. ana
Mrs. Dunlap were frequent visitors
at that place during the summer OF
1911 and while stopping there made
a number of friends In the borough.
While their troubles were known
here to some extend during the past
summer, part of which Mrs. Dunlap
spent with her mother at the Whit
lock villa, 1t was understood by them
that a reconciliation had been eff
fected and that Mr.. and Mrs. Dunlap
and the child r now In Europe.
They cannot account for the petition
for a writ of habeas corpus being
fled in Brooklyn on Monday and be-
leive that an error of some kind has
been made.
Mrs. Bvers, a few weeks ago, held
an auction sale at the Whitlock villa
and disposed Of all her household
effects, and 1t Is understood she has
gone TO Florida to live.

THE FIRST GRAY
HAIR SIGN OF ACE
Easy Way to Preserve Natural
Color of the Hair and
Make 1t Grow.

A harmless remedy, made from
common garden sage, quickly re-
stores gray hair to natural color.
| The case Of the hair, to prevent 1t
from losing Its color and lustre, is
lust as important as to care for teeth
to keep them from discoloring. Why
spend money for cosmetics and
creams to improve the complexion,
and yet neglect your hair, when gray
hair Is even more conspicuous and
suggestive of 6 than wrinkles or a
poor complexion? OF the two, 1t is
easier to preserve the natural color
and beauty of the hair than it is to
have a good complexion.
All that Is necessary is the occa-
sional use of Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy, a preparation of
common garden Sage and Sulphur,
combined with other valuable rene
dies for dry, harsh, faded hair, dand-
run, itching scalp and falling hair.
After a few applications of this sim
pie, harmless remedy, your hair will
gradually be restored to its natural
color. in q short time the dandruff
will be removed, and you hair will
no longer come out but will start
to grow as Nature intended it should.
Don't neglect your hair, for 1t goes
further than anything else to make
OF mar your good looks. You can
buy this remedy at any drug store
for fifty cents a bottle. and your
druggist will give your money back
II you are not satisfied after using.
Purchase a bottle today. You will
never regret 1t when you realize the
difference 1t will make In your ap-
|pearance.

are full instructions for filing them
out in order to show how many of
the 10000 odd children reported by
City Superintendent Maxwell as
above normal age are In the differ
ent classes. This plan for statistics
is so complete that a teacher will be
able to tell. if the plan is carried
out, whether her particular problem
concerns itself with children who
have fallen behind since coming to
school or with those who started to
school late.
Several hundred out-of-town
school superintendent will also re-
ceive sample cards with Instructions.
This has been made possible through
a fund given by Mr.. Shrader to pro-
mote good health among school
children. 1t is pointed out that
this blank will assist a teacher in
finding out for her W classes
whether or not the school inquiry
committees recommendations for
counting average children are help
full"

pals have space set aside for Stats
tics covering physical defects, in
Guiding anaemia and
mental defects and home conditions.
Their are also spaces for age and
school entrance figures, as we'll as
unclassif1ed spaces to be filed in
