FURTHER Fight
WAGED FOR
!. ROBERTS CHILD

Another chapter in the fight OF John
w. Roberts for the possession Of his
child was started today when petit
ton for letters OF guardianship was
filed In the circuit court by him. The
fight for the child has occupied Judge
Whitney and Judge Robinson's court
from time to time for q fortnight or
more, the wife asserting her right to
the custody of the child, and the hns-
band his. Recriminations have fig
ured prominently in their fight, and
everything from petitions to writs Of
.habeas corpus have been resorted to.
In Roberts latest petition he AYERS
that his wife has fits of insanity,
that she Is not proper person to b
given possession OF the child and
that she has bent its arms and legs
In an endeayor to make eontortion-
list Of it that 1t might 90 on the stage. :,
Mrs. Roberts in her petition for let
tiers of guardianship swore that her
husband taught the child to drink
whiskey and smoke cigarettes. She
was granted her petition. and the hus-
band is now making an effort to set
Judge Whitney's order OF guardianship
aside, and have similar order made
by Judge Robinson in his behalf.

Sir:-Last Sunday party Of Ho.

joy a dip in its water Several mem
bers of the party had been there
more than once before without hind.
rance, but this time while proceeding
to the beach they were confronted by
a man who informed them they were
trespassing. When courteously asked
to permit the party to'reach the beach
he fatty refused permission to cross
his land and stated furthermore that
lie owned the waters of the bay and
would not allow either bathing or fish

were meeting secretly. Since nothing
happened at all, she all too cleverly de-
