of $500, go to Jail or last but not least
marry the girl.
Joe was like a rabbit in a hole, sur
rounded by a dozen dogs. He didn't
know which way to get out of his
predicament. He first counted up five
hundred simoleans and dollar for dol

out in bunch. With sigh he turned

bet to Joe, so with some deliberation
the nuptial knott was tied by Judge
Prest and with ngratulations from
the court and prosecuting attorney, I.
I. Modjeski, the couple went on their
way.
1t will be remembered that Greletzka
about four months ago and since that
time she has been living with him, as

girl, but when he found that his COM

GIRL GOES
TO GREEN'S

Tears from a five year old girl and
a woman who believed herself to be
the childs grandmother mingled yes
terday afternoon in the superior court
in Judge Kopelkes room, when the
judge after hearing the evidence to
decide the girls paternity denied the
right of Mrs. Bernadina Dock of Oak
ley avenue to keep the child and
awarded her to Mr.. and Mrs. ]. T.
Green of Chicago. His decision recog-
nizes the Greens as the parents of the
girl.
For nearly FIVE years Mrs. Dock had
bestowed all the tender care that a
grandmother knows how TO give upon
the child. thinking it had been begot-
ten by her son. Walter Priest out of
wedlock. The rightful mother IN or
der to secure possession through the
habaes corruS proceedings admitted on
the stand premarital relation with
both Priest and her present husband
but claimed the latter as the father OF
her child.
The little girl and Mrs. Dock had
become very much attached to each
other and the aversion to parting was

more freight his road would have to

with the government TO throw the L.

of the many inducements he offered to
give a bonus to the winner of prize No.
