Her Eleven Times

Hagerstown, Md, August 25.-
To be married to each other eleven
times since 1909 has been the novel
experience of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Vernon who are at Braddock

have been performed in as many
different countries.
Asked why he anG his wife have
been married so often when once
usually is enough, Vernon said 1t
was sort of hobby with them,
and they took the step as pre-
caution because in some foreign
countries marriages performed in
others are not recognized. The first
time they were married former

No Violation Of Law
II Man Finds Pistol
And Puts in His Pocket to
Take Home.

Atlanta, Aug. 26.-If a man is
walking along the road and finds
a pistol, he has a right to pick it
up and carry it rome. So declares
the state court of appeals, again
applying plain common sense as
law to a case that came up from
the lower court. The mans name
was Cooper and the evidence on
which he was convicted showed
that he was walking the road,
found the revolver, picked it up,
and put it in his pocket. By I'M
kindly fate he was arrested, the
pistol was found and he was con-
victed. The appellate court has
reversed the trial judge.
Another case Of interest in
which the trial judge was also
reversed is that Of Gibson VS.. The
State from Brooks county. Glib
son was county treasurer and was
convicted for embezzlement. The
The appellate court ruled that
embezzlement could not exist in
the act of taking money from one
state fund and put it into anoth-
err. Gibson had succeeded his de-
ceased father in Office. On COM
ing into office on examination of
his fathers books showed a GER
tain amount of money was miss
ing. In trying to protect his
fathers memory he took tax re-
turns'from the current year and
applied them to the previous year
in which his father had defaulted.

Officers of the law refused to al

man, to take a prisoner from them.
= And Annenberg and the Tribune
were so surprised they're sgueaIing
yet.
You can't blame 'em much for be-
ing surprised. It has been customary
in Chicago to allow big newspapers
to get away with that sort of rough
stuff.
But that was in the days when all
the newspapers were in a conspiracy
to suppress the news Of such happen
ings and there was no Day Book to
give them publicity.
Some Chicago cops are too dog
gone ready with their revolVers.
In fact, if you took the uniforms
off some Of them you'd be liable to
mistake 'em for newspaper gunner.
Max Annenberg, the gUnman, re-
marked in the criminal court yester-
day that he ought to have killed
that -- of cop last
night"
Apparently Annenberg is. not yet
hep to the fact that the people of
Chicago are good and tired of his do
ing what he thinks he ought to do
in circumstances of that sort.
Chicago telephone users evidently
are not going to be good dogs and lie
down FidO while the telephone trust
is attempting to junk the automatic
plant and establish an absolute
monopoly in Chicago.
They are going to fight for their
own interests by organizing a tele-
phone users association, whose sole
purpose is to protect the rights of the
people who use telephones.

game, unless we had won. A contest
in which big Chief" Werner did ex-
cellent work for the locals, was yes
terday's game, finally landed in the
eleventh by brownsville by the score
of to 2.
When the locals, after having had
the score 2 to 0 against them until
that time, tied up the game in the
seventh, it seemed that Americas
would win. With Chancey on, Bowen
leaned up against the pellet for
homer, scoring the two runs needed to
ball up the score.
Nip and tuck was the playing unit,
the eleventh, when the Thomasville
batters turned loose and hit the ball
hard enough to win, after Kuhlman's
error had permitted runner to make
hit safe. Double plays were the order
of the afternoon, and number of them
were turned loose.
Few, if any games this season, have
kept the interest of the fans up to sc
high a pitch. There was something
doing all the way until the eleventh,
when the local fans hoped for vic
tory for the home team, but it failed
to materialize in the pinch.
For the most part, however, the
playing was excellent. The members
of the home team got into the game

catcher in the league when he is in
condition, played with all his old
time snap and ginger. He played an
excellent game in supporting Werner,
who was also in great shape.
