FINAL CHAPTER OF
TROUBLES
Mrs. Flemming Granted a Di-
vorce BY Judge Fox
This Morning.

Charles D. Flemming failed to ap-
pear in the Wayne circuit court this
morning to answer charges in a di-
vorce suit filed by Laura Flemming,
on the grounds of cruel and inhuman
treatment. The divorce suit probably
closed one OF the most sensational
series of domestic episodes which has
been aired in the circuit court for
many months.
Sheriff Bayer was called to the farm
house where Flemming and his wife
were living, near Economy, last May.
to arrest Flemming for attempting TO
kill his wife. Mrs. Flemming failed TO
file the necessary charges against him
and he was released. Flemming after
being locked out of the house and his
clothing placed on the back porch and
told to leave the premises, broke in
the back door of the house and grab
bed the shotgun. He said he was GO
ing to use the gun to shoot a crow or
hawk which was lowering over the
chicken coop. Mrs. Flemming said
that he aimed the gun at her and snap
ped the trigger, but the gun did not
explode because the shells had been
taken from it and hidden by her daugh-
ters, Vera and Lola Flemming. step
children of Mr.. Flemming.
She said he beat her with his fist
and had beaten her daughter, Vera At
one time when the family lived in
New Mexico, Mrs Flemming was seri-
ously ill and he is alleged to have re-
fused to call a physician. The neigh
bors interceded and sent her to the
hospital. Mrs. Flemming told the court.
She said he refused to pay the doctor
bill.

Although she was knocked
down by an engine to which was
attached a tender, and both
passed over her as she lay pros
trate in the center Of the G. R.
& |. roadbed, three-year-old
Mary Davenport, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Earnest Daven-
port, is still living and has a fair
chance of recovery, despite the
fact she is terribly bruised, cut
and burned. The accident oc-
Cured near the home of her par
ents in Webster township, south
west of Fountain City, about 6
o'clock Monday evening, but the
report Of the accident was not
made public until today.
Extent of Her Injuries.
The child is under the care of the
Michmond G. r. G. I. physician, and it
was stated today that her condition
was not much improved, but she has
a chance for recovery. 1t is possible
the child will lose the sight Of one
eye. She also has a deep cash ex-
tending all the way down the back
of her head, deep gashes on her fore
head and chin, severe burns on her
forehead and shoulders, a dangerous
cut at the corner of her right eye,
and bruises all over her body. The
child suffers the greatest agony.
Ran Away From Mother.
Monday, Mr. and Mrs. Davenport
went to the home of neighbors,, Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Burd, to assist in the
harvesting. About six O'Clock in the
evening, while Mrs Davenport was
assisting in the preparation of the
meal for the harvest hands, and her
husband was cleaning up, little Mary
left the house unnoticed and wander
ed to the railroad tracks about a half
block distant. The child sat down in
the middle of the roadbed and began
to play with the gravel A few min
utes later an engine with it's tender
came along, but Mary was sitting with
her back to the approaching locomo-
tive and did not notice it. Owing to
the position the child was in, the en-
gineer states he thought she was a
dog or pig and merely sounded a
warning whistle. When he saw the
object on the track was a child, it was
too late for him to stop the engine.
Tried to Escape Danger.
When Mary became aware of her
danger she jumped to her feet and
ran along the tracks as fast as her
little legs would carry her. but she
was struck by the safety guard and
thrown on her face between the rails.
The engine and tender passed clear
over her body before the locomotive
could be stopped.

man descended from the cab as rap
idly as possible and carried The un-
conscious baby to the Burd home.
After medical aid had been admins
tered, the child was removed to her
parents home.

COMPLETE WORK

The Y M c. A. summer school,
which started with about forty stu
dents. has dwindled until only a dozen
are left The plan by which the
school is conducted is responsible for
this. Each boy begins on the work he
is TO make up. and studies one sub
ject only until 1t is completed, then
going on to the next. In this manner
the boys who have one subject only
TO study can complete their work in
q very short time, and the boys who
are left in the school are those who
had several studies to complete.

names to the most of it.
Ponce de Leon was not the first
| white man who trod the shores OF
North America. The Cabots, sailing
in an English vessel, touched on the
Canadian Coast fifteen years earlier
than the date of the discovery of Flor
ida, and the Mortimer are said to
have been in New England several
centuries earlier. Neither the Cabots
nor their forerunners, however, loft
a trace Of their visit. Ponce de Icons
visit to Florida, however, made that
region known to the world, and many
Spanish adventures and conquista-
dores, including Narvaez and De Soto,
landed there and expored it within
the next few years. In the latter
half of 1913 Balboa explored the
Isthmus of Panama, across which the
United States is building it's canal.
