Aged Man in
Tolls Of Law
WILLIAM KERsEY Is IN COUNTY
JAIL OWING TO INABILITY no
FURNISH $4,000 PEACE BOND
ON ASSAULT CHARGE

a
There was no sunshine in the at
mosphere at Cherry Greek last Mon
day for William Kersey, rs years old,
when he was required in the Justice
court to furnish peace bond In the
sum of $4,000 for beating George
|Maddalani over the head with . bill
lard cue. Being unable to furnish
the required surety the aged man was
brought down from Cherry Creek
Monday night by Deputy Sheriff Fred
Borchert and placed in the county
Jail. .
The dissension between the two
parties had its inception about a year
lago. when Kersey leased the NADIA
Ilani property in Cherry Creek can
lyon with the understanding that he
was to receive half of the crops that
we're raised on the small agricultu-
raj tract.
Harmony prevailed until Maddalani
agreed to purchase the half interest
held by Kersey In the hay crop. 1t
was stipulated that Kersey should re-
lceive $40 for his end of the trans
action.
Claiming that he had been unable
to effect a financial settlement with
Maddalani, Kersey has been wearing
la perpetual crouch for the several
months. He brought suit In the JUS
|tice court at Cherry Creek for the
amount alleged TO be due him for the
HAY that he sold, /.
Another blight fell upon the Ker-
lsey interests, when Justice McMur-
~ decided that the pioneer resident
was entitled to only $27 on the
transaction. He held that Maddalani
should receive $40 for services rem
idered plaintiff and an extra SO was
deducted as court costs.
Although Maddalani turned into the
court $27. the amount required un-
der Justice McMurray's decision sew
eral months ago, Kersey declined to
accept anything less than the stipu-
lated price for the hay.
Believing that he had been done
an injustice. Kersey threatened on
several occasions to annihilate Mad
dalani, and did not hesitate to con-
vey his intentions to friends In Cher
ry Creek and Ely. Maddalani never
took any precaution against an un-
expected attack. Kersey waited for
favorable opportunity and struck
the man he was seeking from behind.
Fearing that he might do further
harm to Maddalani, Kersey was ar
rested by Deputy Sheriff Borchert
After being arraigned in the Justice
court. the defendant was remanded
to the custody of the sheriff.

FUNNY STORY OF KID BROAD
Remembered Fathers Admonition,
But Hadn't Strength Enough Left
to Get Up From Floor.

Abe Attell, former featherweight
champion, tells a funny story about
the time Kid Broad, one of the good
ones of the old days. was knocked out
by Aurelio Herrera, hardest little
fighter the ring ever produced.
Broads father, according to Attell
had told the Kid that if he was ever
Topped to think of his old daddy in
Cleveland and get up.
Broad was floored early in his Her.
rera fight AS the referee tolled of
the count, Broad mumbled: kid
think of your daddy in Cleveland and
get up" Up he got.
In the next round Herrera landed
another sledge hammer drive. Broad
as he lay on the floor, went through
the same act, mumbling: kid. think
Of your daddy in Cleveland and get
up." He was up in jiffy.
In the fourth round Herrera landed
harder than ever on Broad's jaw. and
down went the kid. The referee had
about counted him out, when Broad,
dazed and dreamy-eyed, looked up and
said: IF you want me to get up this
time, dad, you'll have to come and
pull me up"

(By FRANK G. MENKEl

10y MANN ". E.)
Ralph De Palma owes his entry into
the automobile racing game to the
fact that he borrowed a bicycle some,
thing like twenty years ago, used it
for the first time while out delivering
mess of groceries and busted the
machine-and nearly busted his young
frame by getting into a smashup
while coasting down a hill.
When Ralph returned to the owner
of that bike the fragments of his ma
chine, the owner wanted to assas
sinate Ralph, but Ralph saved his
hide by agreeing to pay the bike own.
er for the damage done as soon as he
could gather in the mazuma through
the medium of his weekly stipend as
grocery boy.
However, the bike owner became
impatient because payments were
slow, and he approached Ralph on the
subject.
I'm doing the best can," explained
Ralph.
We'll, your best don't suit me, -
responded Ralph's creditor. "You
gotta come through faster. If you
don't I'll bust your beezer. See?"
Ralph gazed upon his creditor, no.
ticed that he was four or five years
older, four inches taller and about 35
pounds heavier-and Ralph imme-
diately saw"
Gimme a few days to think this
over" asked Ralph. He got it. Dur.
ing those days De Palma racked his
brain for some plan whereby he could
raise funds quickly, but none came
forth until one day he saw a billboard
telling about bicycle race to be held
in Buffalo, with cash prizes for the
first eight men finishing.
Gee whizz," calculated Ralph. Now
1t may be explained that after that
smashup Ralph had decided never to
do any more riding. But sometimes
circumstances alter cases-and cause
a change of mind. That's what the
circumstances did for Ralph and he
quickly hunted up his creditor.
Say, didju get that bike fixed up
YETI" he asked.
"Yes; but she ain't as good as she
was when she was new"
"Oh, that's all right" said De Palma.

Caused by Disease I

The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys is
well known nowadays. AS soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension
is increased and the heart functions
are attacked. When the kidneys no
longer pour forth waste, uremic poi
soning occurs, and the person dies and
the cause is often given as heart dis
ease, or disease of brain or lungs.

The match wasn't arranged for the

weigh in at 116 pounds ringside, the
championship weight, although both
may have been at the required pound
age, and no other championship rules
governed the contest.
The best way for Williams to cover
up this accident would be to give Ertle

Manager Rowland knew what he was
talking about. The big Frenchman was
ambitious to do some slugging in the
city clash, but he was bitterly disap-

inning of the opening game, costing
the team three runs. That caused
Manager Rowland to bench the big
