 The legend was that the Indians had deemed the falling meteor an omen from the Great Spirit that the white man about to be tortured under the favor of his protection.
 In the age stained family archives kept in the strong box at Stanley hall, the great mansion home of Col. Stanley. this strange story of the diamond set forth in the quaint handwriting of the finder of the great jewel and the founder of the Stanley family in Virginia There also the will of the wild Sir Arthur, and at it's end there strange prophetic clause. This clause read that when the noble line of StanIeys becar1e extinct in England and an heir of the old Stanley earldom sought among the elder sons of the Ameri- can family of Stanleys in Virginia the diamond from the sky" the heritage of the elder of this elder branch, should be back to England by the American earl when he came into his English earl dom.
 At the time we write. that is. In June. 1882. the last of the earls of Stanley was a bachelor invalid and reciuse, without hope or desire of heir.
 Col. Arthur Stanley of Virginia head of the elder American branch of the fam fly, held possession of the priceless heir 
 fallen tQ earth in the meteor. But he had no son to succeed to the earldom in Eng land. He was married to a fair young wife who expected shortly to become mother. Were this child a girl it could have hope for the English great title in the family nor to possess the da- mond from the sky
 On the other hand. Judge Lamar Stanley had a son. a sturdy boy of g. His proud wife equally with himself. dreamed of day when this boy should bear the honors and have the vast estates of the Stanley earldom.
 Such were the hates and hopes that Dad sundered the Stanley family in Virginia and such were the portentops matters that were hinged upon unborn child-this June day in 1882. when these two horse men, kinsmen and bitter enemies, rode down upon each other in smiling Vir- ginIa lane.

Will Try Flushing Of
Downtown Pavement

Mayor Coffman thinks it would be
Just as cheap to flush the downtown
streets every morning as to sweep
them. He says he is positive it will be
better to have washed pavement
every morning with all the dust and
germs in the sewer than to have a
sweeped one with much dust and
germs in the atmosphere and on the
sidewalk, so he is trying out the new
plan this week
The down town section was flushed
last night and the experiment will be
repeated until officers can find out
about what the difference in cost is.
I'VE have plenty of water Mr.. Coff-
man said, "and we are positive the new
plan will be much better Il it will take
no more labor.

Two SEEK
DIVORCE

The matrimonial business received
jolt this morning when instead of a
single application for permission TO
try the married life, two petitions
were filed by parties who had decided
that two could not live together with
nearly so much satisfaction as could
each live separately.
The petitions for divorce were filed
with District Court Clerk Newman by
Mrs. Eva E. Miller against Robert d.
Miller, and by Mrs Bonnie Bearce
against A. j. Bearce The first 'peti-
ton alleges that the plaintiff and the
defendant were married on June %,
1910. but that they had not lived to-
gether since October 5 of the same
year Moreover, she alleged that
even during the time that the two did
live together. the defendant failed to
support his wife, was cruel and inhu
man and guilty of gross neglect.
Mrs. Miller states that there have
meen no children born to the union,
that she desires her maiden name, Eva
E. Sorrells, restored, the costs of the
suit and whatever other relief the
court shall Judge proper.
In her petition, Mrs. Bearce alleges
that she and the defendant were mar
ried on July IS, 1912 She not only
alleges non-support and neglect. bur
also that the defendant has been guilty
of taking other wcmen on trips while
she was being neglected and that he
was guilty of gross neglect when he
left her alone after she was severely
burned in April, 1914.
She desires the custody of the child
the restoration of her maiden name
costs of the suit and such other relie
as the court shall deem proper.

Dallas, July 27.--Six men are being
held under suspicion of being implicat-
ed in the unsuccessful attempt to blow
up the home of ]. d. Padgitt, president
of big local saddlery company. and a
successful effort to bomb w. T. Moore
and his son, who are employed by the
Padgitt company.
1t is understood, however, that there
is no very strong evidence against the
men. 1t is expected that the Moores
will recover.
Padgitt announces that he will quit
making saddles for the allies. A bomb,
it develops. was placed under the bed
in which mis- two year old granddaugil-
ter was accustomed to sleep. The bed
was located on a sleeping porch.
Moore and his son we're sleeping in
the same bed. Probably the fact that
the mattress was between them and
the exploding bomb saved their lives.
The bomb apparently had been thrown
through an open window. A large hole
was torn through the floor: the walls
of an adjoining room collapsed into
the faces of its sleeping occupants and
the floor of the bedroom above was
torn from the walls at thes ide.
Just before the explosion, a woman
standing on the opposite side of the
street, saw a man run out from the
back of the Moore residence. As the
man disappeared, the explosion oc-
Cured, shaking houses three blocks
away.
Padgitt brothers have large con
tracts for saddles and harness for the
French and English governments.
