Harold and Clarence Boltin formed
quartet who spent Monday night on
Newnan's lake. They went for fish,
frolic and excitement, and the entire
program was realized. Messrs. Tou-
sey and Kinkaid caught II fine bass,
which furnished all that was needed
on that score. Mr.. Harold was in the
act of pulling in a large bass when he
tumbled overheard, according TO re-
ports and lost an outfit that cost sew
eral dollars. While in the lake he had
a narrow escape from an alligator

holding a bear at bay on the banks.

TO ''snooze it OUT on the bank. but the

COURT MARTIAL
REVEALS A CASE
EXTRAORDINARY
ARMY OFFICER STRIKES SER

LIEUTENANTS ARE A DIRTY
PACK.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Munich, Aug. 15.-A civil court pro-
ceeding, growing indirectly out of a
trial by court-martial has directed at
tention to an extraordinary case show
ing once more the relations existing
between military persons and civilians
The case in question is some months
old. but it escaped notice at the time
it occurred. The defendant before the
court-martial was a Lieutenant Seider
OF the garrison in Inglolsadt. The
facts as brought out on trial were
these:
Lieutenant Seider's man servant had
a quarrel with the domestic servant
of the landlord of the house in which
the lieutenant and his wife had an
apartment, in the course of which the
maid declared that the lieutenants are
a dirty pack who don't clean up their
mess. They are a brood" The lieuten-
ants wife sent for her husband. This
female says we are a BROOD, she said.
pointing to the maid. The lieutenant
thereupon struck the girl twice with
his saoer
You are acting like a washerwoman
to mix up in such quarrel" said the
wife of the landlord, who had seen the
occurrence. You ought to be ashomed
as an officer to strike a woman with
your sword
The lieutenant struck the woman in
the face with his hand, she raised a
broom against him and he attacked her
with his sword, cutting both her
hands.
The court martial found Seider gull
ty and sentenced him to As days i'm
prisonment in a fortress. The superior
court at Nuremberg, to which the
lieutenant appealed, acquitted him, on
the ground that he had acted in self
defense Actions for insult against the
two women resulted in a fine of $12
for the wife of the landlord and $3.50
for the maid. Their appeals were dis
missed.
