TOP OF PIXIES PEAK

A Ford Model T has established a
new record for the ascent OF Pixies
peak. On Sept. 2. the car driven by
Oliver w. Hall OF Denver, started
from the Cascade postoffice at the
foot OF the famous mountain The
start was made at S:l5 a, m. and the
Summit house was reached al II: os.
or rather the telegraph office, for 1t
was the official checking point
The. elevation Is 14,l47 feet above
the sea. but many miles were COW
cred In reaching the top. The road
was in very bad shape as II has
never been repaired since the old
stage coach days. In places the
grade exceeds % per cent and in
some spots 1t was necessary to
Jump" the car six to 10 feet at a
time. The descent was made In a
pouring rain which increased the dif-
hculties of the down trip. In estab-
fishing the new record, the Ford beat
the best previous record for the feat
by IS minutes. The former record
was made by far more powerful car
than the Ford.

Here From Cleveland, Father

The question whether two little
girls, Elizabeth Binder. aged Z, and
her sister. Grace. aged 4, shall spend
the Christmas holidays with their
mother in Cleveland. or in Detroit
with their father was holly contested
before Judge Lacy, Saturday morning
A compromise was reached by an ar
rangement for the mother to come to
Detroit. the father to pay her SIS for
the expense OF herself. the girls and
a son, Elmer. aged IL.
In the course OF the argument. At
torney George B. Greening charged
that the father, who Is defendant In
a pending divorce suit, kidnapped the
children from the home OF their
grandmother In Cleveland. last sum-
mer. and that they were brought TO
Detroit and kept for two weeks In
the home of the fathers attorney.
Eugene l. Misterski. while deputy
sheriffs and counsel for the mother
were searching Michigan all the way
from Detroit to Port Huron for them.
Misterski denied that he had been
party U any effort TO keep the chill
dren away from the officers OF the
court.
Both lawyers appealed to the SYM
pathies OF the court, the one arguing
the affection Of the father and his
great desire TO see his daughters dur
ing the Christmas season, and the
other replying that at such time
they should be nowhere. but with
their. mother.
Mrs. Lille B. Binder. the mother.
was IN court by mistake. Her attor-
ney explained that he had sent her q
telegram reading: 1T Is not neces-
sary to come to Detroit" but that the
telegraph company left the word
not out OF the message. Hence her
presence. Her attorney charged that
Elmer wrote to his father last week
for money to buy q pair OF shoes in
answer to which the father had sent
him 10 cents.

court on complaint OF his wife for
violation of an injunction restraining
him from molesting her, was found
guilty. but sentence waA suspended
till Tuesday to allow for further In
vestigation.
The Judge declared that he was In
ciined to believe that there had been
perjury in the case on the part OF
someone and that X he found such to
be true he would hand out sentence
that would have Statutory effect on
others as we'll IS the witness involved
Mrs. Grossclaude charged that her
husband had come to her house while
Ladies' Aid society was meeting
and had created disturbance by
starting an argument over their ar
fairs.
The man laid the blame on an aunt
Of Mrs. Grossclaude, and said that the
real fuss had come after the women
left. when the alteration became so
warm that his wife threw a bottle Of
catsup at him and he retaliated by
throwing water at her. Mrs. Gross
