wife. These little ones are his chill

Mariana Perez. real wife of the dead
Guadalpute-wept in sorrow. Then
came Edwin McKeever, Topeka at
torney, to the rescue.
Follows the story behind the S10,-
900 damage suit filed against the Rock
Island by Marina Perez in the district
court today.
In San Juan, state of Xacatecos,
Mexico, thirty years ago, Marina Fla
vella dOnned her buckled slippers, her
gayeSt scarf and was married to Quad
alpute Perez. The padre was not at
home-but the copule didn't want to
wait. A civil marriage was performed
by one Cipriano Perez. no relative of
the bridegroom. Then the pair trod
the mystic paths of the Honeymoon
Trail. In due time a son was born-a
dusky youngster with black curls and
wide black eyes. They called him
Franciscan; Marina made his lace
christening robe and his wee cap. He
was taken to the padre and baptized
in the faith of his fathers. Joy reigned
in the house of Perez. Two years later
arrived tiny girl-named Maria af-
ter the Blessed Virgin. Followed
Jesus, Pedro, RutiHo. Ysura and
Estevan.
Now comes the sad part of the story.
Perhaps there were more mouths than
pennies in the house of Perez.
Marina and Guadalpute could not
agree. Hot words were exchanged be-
tween them.
You do not care for me and the
children" famed Marina.

no divorce-no legal separation. But

Perez changed his name to can
deIano MondeIon and determined to
live new life. He wandered through
Texas, came to Kansas, and located at
Manhattan. He was employed by the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railway
and worked on the tracks.
He lived in a box car with gang
of Mexicans, a young woman and her
two children. Enter Maria Jesus
Montelon. Subsequent events proved
that Maria Jesus was-to state 1t
Hghtly-a designing woman She was
attractive-Perez grew quite fond or
her.
Here was the eternal triangle
Perez, Marina and Maria Jesus. Also
a file of smaller triangles from
FRANCISCAN to Estevan. What was to
be done? Fate, who sometimes deals
tragically with such cases, caught the
matter in her hands.

and called a photographer. She had
copies made of the ghastly picture and
gave them to her frieds.

crept to q priest and bought a mass to

Not long after Weeks was killed
the special train bearing the Natchez
suardsmen arrived and this seemed to
have cOwed the desperate. AS they
were detrainng the crowd rushed the
seedhouse. Not a shot greeted them
and as the leaders went into the place
with drawn weapons, they saw Jones
completely unnerved but not injured.
They quickly placed a rope around his
neck and rushed HIM to the coal
chute. AS the negro was drawn up,
the rope broke and he fell heavily to
the ground. Not a word or act of
protest came from Jones as a larger
rope was drawn around his neck and
again he was pulled up--and the
crowd looked on as he strangled to
death.
The crowd went to the home of the
negroes where they found two negro
men, and We're about to lynch them,
but were persuaded not to by officers.
1t seems certain that the Jones ne

DAMAGES DENIED
FORMER NUN
THE DEMURRER OF BENDICTiNE
SISTERS TO PETITION is SUS.
TANNED.

Guthrie, Okla, Sept. 2S.-The trial
which has occupied the attention of
the Logan county district court since
early Friday in which Miss Anna
Lowrey, former nun, asked for
damages amounting to SLIGO from
the congregation of the Benedictine
Sisters, was suddenly ended late Sat
urday by Judge A. II. Huston sustain
ing a demurrer of the defendants to
the evidence of the plaintiff, thus
taking the case from the jury and
ordering the case dismissed.
For eleven years Anna Lowrey was
known at the st. Joseph's retreat
near Guthrie, as Sister Justina, where
she was a teacher. In her petition
she set up her claim for life support
as she had entered the congregation
for life, and when the authorities
tried to get rid of her. and she was
forced finally to leave, she claimed
that they had violated the rules and
the agreement under which she form
ed her life connection with the Ben
elictine monasticism and that she
was entitled to support for the re-
mainder of her natural life-baseI
on the established expectancy, which
she has figured out as above.
The evidence introduced during the
two days was strongly sustainiug
her contentious, but during her cross
examination by the defense the rules
Of the Benedictine monasticsm were
read to her and to each of them
she admitted having subscribed and
pledged her implicit obedience They
not only required absolute obedience
but life work also, and she admitted .
all even to the rule which subjected
ler body to the lash for disobedience .
After the defense had succeeded in
having all these rules read into tho
'ecord, then the usual demurrer was .
made and after argument it was sus- .
aimed by the court 1t is certain

WILL SHORTEN vERDIGRIs RIVER
Reclamation Work in Wagner Coun-
ty Begins Soon.

Muskogee, Okla, Sept. 2S.-Thc
work of reclaiming 1000 acres of land
in Wagner County and the shorten
ing of the erdigris River within that
county over twenty miles, will begin
on October IS, which is the date the
contractor has set for the commence
ment of operations. The contract has
been let to Spangler & Co., and it is
estimated that the final cost will be
100000, or about 81 per acre.
The plan to reclaim the fertile bot
tom lands of the Verdigris Valley,
which in spring now overflow to a
depth of several feet, was a pet hob
by of Col. Gid Sleeper of Wagner
chairman of the board of county com
mssioners. The land along the Yer
digris is cut into hundreds of PENN
sulas by the bends of the river, and it
is estimated that there are hundred
miles of old stream bed in the county
from which the river has shifted ell
tirely.
By digging four miles of ditch 100
feet wide and twenty feet deep, the
river will be diverted to a straight |
line and a permanent channel secur
ed, so that all danger of overflow will |
be eliminated The ditch will be Dor
dered by n right of way 100 feet |
wide on each side, so that it can be
enlarged, if necessary, to handle the
water during flood time.
When the river has been shortened,
he land in the district will be sold or
made available for use by the present
