Such Privileges.

Mag. Giboney Houck was yesterday
refused permission to examine the
books and records of the Fair anC
Park Association. He called upon j
I. Mum Jr., secretary of the organiza
ton, and asked for the books.
Are you a stakeholder ?" asked Mr.
Num-.
mo, but my father is and repre-.
sent him." answered the attorney.
"Well, | will have to get instructions
from the officials of the association,
said Mr.. Num-.
Mr.. Num- communicated Major
Houck's request to Mr.. Machen and
Mr.. Blattner, and it was rejected
"Unless Mr.. Houck can show that he
is bona fide stakeholder, he has nc
right to examine our books" said Mr.
Machen.
Mr.. Blattner said he did not believe
Louis Houck was a stakeholder Of the
Fair and Park Association.
81 was delegated to sell stock in the
association when it was just formed. y
said Mr.. Blattner, "and Mr.. Houck
signed for ten shares at $40 each. He
asked permission to pay for this stock
in four installments of S25 each. |
don't remember that he ever paid a
cent.
''The stock has never been called for
by Mr. Houck and | do not believe he
would have permitted it to remain in
the hand of the secretary if he paid
the four installments. Unless he can
show four receipts, he will not be con-
sidered the owner Of any stock and the
ten shares which he seems to believe
belong to him will not be turned over.

noon today, and after securing an au-
ton1obile, Mrs. McClatchey and her
brother, Theodore Kippenberg, joined
me on the trip to Advance.
"When we arrived in Advance we
found Pratt and Frieda stopping at a
hotel, and they appeared to be greatly
surprised ct our sudden appearance.
when l accused Bryan of having
an undivorced wife, he denied the
charge emphatically, saying that he
was a single man up to the time that
he had married my daughter.
an denying the accusation he said
that his father or his aunt either one,
would tell me that he had never been
married. / saw that he did not intend
to confess his wrongdOing, and l be-
came so angry that l proceeded to
thresh him. This method proved more
effective and before | had inflicted
much punishment, he admitted that he
had previously married and that his
wife and child were now living in St.
Louis. He also admitted that he had
never secured a divorce.
81 had him arrested at once, and he
was taken to the county jail at Bloom
field to await his preliminary hearing
which will be on July "a.
"Frieda is brOkenhearted over the
perfidy of Pratt, whom she says per-
suaded her to elOpe 20 Advance and
be married, in spite Of her wishes to
advise her mother and me of their
plans.
ISL said that she repeatedly asked
that e be informed but that Pratt
said he was afraid that we would not
give our consent for the immediate
marriage, and he would never consent
to wait. She said that other friends
appealed to her in behalf of Pratt and
urged her to elope, finally causing her
to yield.
"She returned with US this after
noon, and has expressed herself as
fortunate in escaping the influence
and companionship of such confirm
ed scoundrel.
1--WE would have gladly consented to
the marriage, as we have known the
Pratt family FOR years, during which
time we were neighbors to them in
st. Marys. Frieda and Bryan played
together as children. The young man,
through his mother, is a relative of
William Jennings Bryan. His father,

of Ste. GenevIeve County, and at one
time was State representative. His

WILLIAM KOCHER Is
KICKED BY A HORSE
Blacksmith Hurled Against Side
OF Building and Badly
Hurt.

William Kocher, a blacksmith en-
ployed at the Maurer Carriage Com
pany on Good Hope street, was kicked
by a horse he was shoeing yesterday
afternoon and seriously injured.
The horse was a powerful young
animal, belonging to contractor Au-
gust Vogelsang. While Mr.. Kocher
was endeavoring to fit a shoe on one
of its rear feet, it suddenly jerked
loose and kicked the blacksmith with
such force that he was lifted clear of
his tool box and hurled against the OPP
posite side of the shed.
He was knocked completely out by
the blow, and his helper at first
thought he mad been killed. He re-
vived in few seconds, and suffered
intense pain in his right shoulder
where the force of the kick was re-
ceived. He could not raise his arm
which hung in such limp condition that
the physician at first thought it was
broken.
A close examination disclosed the
fact that no bones were ebroken, al
though the muscles Of his arm and
side we're bruised and cuit.

TAKING STATISTICS ON So
CEAI SURVEY.

Good progress is being made by
Dakota Wesleyan students who are
engaged in the work of making a
social and economic survey OF the
entire city of Mitchell, under the
direction OF the Y. NJ. c. y. Between
ten and fifteen young men have
been working on the project during
. part of their spare time. The can
vassing of the South Side has almost
been completed.
According to the statistics gather
ed thus far. Dakota Wesleyan is a
great asset to Mitchell. Especially
is this true To the south portion of
the city. as a great many families
stated that the university was the
principal factor in bringing them to
Mitchell. in practically every in
stance, high tribute was paid to the
public schools of the city. The work
OF the churches and their influence
is very good, according to The opin-
ions OF most all families visited ON
the South Side.
From the information gathered,
the topic of woman suffrage does
not receive much consideration from
the South siders. as little interest is
shown ON the subject. A grea,
many of the women.stated that they
vould not vote in more than the
school elections in ease they We're
gicen the right.
