Dundee Tells Life Story
to Supreme Court Judge
Special to The Telegraph

New York, April THE story OF
how Joseph Carroro. known in prize
lighting circles as Johnnie Dundee,
met his match in prowess in his
mother-in-law is told in an answer
which his wife, kucile Carroro, has
filed in the Supreme Court. She is be-
ing sued for separation on the ground
of cruelty.
The pugilist alleged in his com
plant that his wife used to break
dishes over his head while he was
asleep, throw shoes at him, and nag
him. In her answer she says all the
roughness was on his side, and she
took the count on .. number of oc-
casions while he was in training for
a prize fight. Twice, she asserts. he
beat her until she became uncon-
scious. She has a counter suit for
separation.
Being a pugilist. as he is" says
the wife. "he is naturally brutal, espe-
cially when he is training"
On one occasion, she charges her
husband kicked her and threw her
over a trunk and then slammed the
door of his room shut and put the
bed up against it, Her mother pushed
open the door and soon had Carroro
subdued.
''He was so angry he seized the
lapel of his coat with his teeth and
tore it to satify his wrath" the wife
adds.
Last August, she says. he tore her
clothes off and tried to smash the cut
glass. Again he polSed her in the ribs
with his elbow. One day she went
into the front room and found her
husband smashing the pictures. She

FINED FOR SMOKING,
He QUITS BROOKFEDS
Utility Player Hands in Uniform
After Manager Magee Sepa-
rates Him From $40

Brownswells, Miss, April THE
first serious dissention in the ranks of
the Brooklyn Federal league club
came to-day when Artie Hoffman turn
ed in his uniform to Manager Magee
after having been fined 500 for smok-
ing cigaret. By this action the util-
ity man himself severed his contract
with the club. What will be the out
come of the affair is still problemati-
cal
"Of course, if desire, said Ma
gee, Il could go through with the
breaking of Hofmans contract, but
shall defer my decision until we get
back to Brooklyn, and there have a
talk with Robert b. Ward.
THE fine / imposed on Holman was
Just one, inasmuch as he as well as
the Veriest recruit in the outfit knew
Just what they could expect if they
broke any of the rules which I laid
down when we first arrived in camp"
Hoffman says that he is through
and instead of accompanying the club
to Brooklyn tomorrow, he will go to
his home in Akron, Ohio. Hofman's
contract with the Brookfeds, which it
is said calls for $1,000, has two sea-
sons to run.
The regulars and the colts Travelled
to Brookhaven, Miss, to-day and
there played an exhibition game. Due
to the mastery twirling of Joe Fin
neran, who was on the mound for six
innings, and the heavy cannonading
of Lefty Wilson's offerings, the colts
romped home the winners by a score
of IL to G. Holman did not accom-
pany the squads.

The Commissioners
and Baxter Rock Road

The Columbus Modern Light
says:
The county commissioners re-
fusal to designate a two-and-a-
quarter mile strip of road to con-
meet two important highways in
he south part of the county
looks more like an effort to flat
ten out" Commissioner Living
ston than anything else. It's
more than likely that if Living
ston had opposed the proposition
the board would have granted
the request, but the policy of the
board seems to be to ignore the
wishes of Livingston in any and
all things rather than to give
their undivided attention to the
needs of Cherokee County. It's
certain that no idea of economy
has penetrated the craniums OF
the other two members of the
board, or had not until more
than 100 miles had been desig-
mated in other portions of the
county.

The new rock road from Mi.
ami and Commerce to the Chero-
kee county line is considered by
Oklahoma to be her share. II
will be completed shortly. Bax-
ter has strained her resources to
raise the amount she has. A.
L. Harvey of Baxter says: TO
grant US the designation of 2 IA
miles of road-appropriate us
$500 for the improvement of IA
miles of it and work the other
mile in the usual wav is a very
light request to make of the
county commissioners in view of

In a telephone conversation
with The Modern Light, G. E.
Rucker said: I'VE have not Civ
en- up hopes of getting the road
yet and have more and more rea-
son to believe that we should
have it."
It seems that Mr.. Livingston
to be allowed a fair representa-
ton of his district, should have
had the undivided support of the
board in his wish to grant this
amount of money. If the board
of county commissioners have
the interests of the whole
county at heart, are uupreju'
diced and unbiased and exercise
that impartiality necessary to be
wise administratorsof the coun'
tvs affairs, and are not working
at cross purposes with Mr.. Liv'
iugston to thwart any ambitions

mated roads, Only n miles o.
iO7-12O is south of Columbus,
The remainder is either north o,

As MeIrOSe Sees II

Had John Melaug and the
people of Baxter spent their
money to help gravel the Che
topa road out of Baxter to a
point west six miles, the visit OF
Mr.. Rucker and his delegates to
Columbus on Monday of last
week would not have been neces-
sary. After putting their money
on the middle road, the Baxter
delegation went before the county
c ommissioners and asked them to
spend $500 to help build spur
south from the Chetopa road and
connect with the middle road
where it turns south into Okla
homa; the object being to divert
travel from the east end of the
Chetopa road and send it through
Baxter over the lower route.
Fine scheme! Aud Baxter, re-
alizing she has purchased a gold
brick, is making a frantic effort
to partly reimburse herself by
getting back into connection
with the Chetopa road and is ap-
parently willing to travel all
over the globe to accomplish it.
The commissioners refused to
make the donation, but will con-
tinue to improve the Chetopa
road as a designated county
thoroughfare. re.-Melrose Cores
