GEORGE C. ST. CLAIR
CHARGED WITH BlGiMY

Ruby Ashton Clair. wife No. 2.
charges George C. Clair with having
wife No. /. and for that reason has
caused his arrest on a charge of
bigamy. Clair was arrested Tuesday
afternoon at Cripple Greek by Sheriff
John NJ. Mckee and brought to Pue-
bio early yesterday morning. Yester-
day he was arraigned before Justice
NJ. L. Corson, where he entered a
plea of not guilty. His case was set
for a preliminary hearing next Mon
day morning. Being unable to give
bond, he will remain in the county
Jail until that date.
Wife No. claims in her complaint
that she married Clair at Canon City
April %, 1914, and that until recently
she did not know that he had another
wife from whom she claims Clair has
not been divorced. The other alleged
wife in the case is said to be Barbara
Proud Clair. The whereabouts Of
wife No. l are not stated in the com
plant.
Clair has been working as a miner
at Cripple Creek for some time. He
was arrested by the officers OF that
city and was being held for the Pue-
bio county sheriff. Since his return
to this county he has little to say
regarding the charges other than he
will come clear" and that he is not
guilty of the charge of bigamy.
He claims that he was unable TO
support his wife and all the members
Of her family and that IT is for this
reason that she has brought the char.
ges. He refuses to make any fur.
statement and is awaiting his attor.

BUY REQ CROSS STAMPS
FROM HOME FOLKS

Arrangements for the sale OF Red
Cross seals have been made by the
local chapter of the society. Early
shoppers should not forget to pro-
vide themselves with these attractive
decorations for Christmas packages
which are now so universally used,
and avail themselves at the same
time of an opportunity to support the
splendid work of the Red Cross Socie-
ty.
The stamps are being sold by mem
bers of girls high school club who
will call for orders at business houses
and homes and see that the stamps
are delivered in good season. They
may also be found at the Palace
Drug Store. the Corner Drug Store,
or at Miss Garwood's Arts and Crafts
Shop.
+. So loyal has been the response of
people in this community to all calls
from the Red Cross Society that
members of the Chapter feel sure
no package will leave the postoffice
without the familiar emblem OF a
true Christmas spirit which means
so much and it is hoped that every
one will buy the stamps here rather
than thru the mailing lists of out
side chapters.

Swollen hands, ankles, feet are due 70

disordered kidneys. Naturally when the
kidneys arc deranged tbe blood is fIled
with poisonous waste matter, which set

under the eyes in bag-like formations
As u memcdy for these easily recog-
nized symptoms of Inflammation caused
by uric acid-as scalding urine, back
ache and frequent rrination, as well rs
sediment in the urine. or If uric acid in
the blood has caused rheumatism, lum-
bago, sciatica, gout, tbs simply wonder

and stiffness rapidly disappear.
Take glass Of hot wuter before meals
and Anuric to flush the kidneys
Step into any drug store and ash for

THE REEL CALIFORNIA
GIRLS" HAVE RETURNED

The Reel California Girls" have
returned to Canon City from their
motor trip thru the east. Owing to
bad roads and storms they were un-
able to complete the itinerary they
had mapped out before leaving here
and had to forward to President Will
son by mail the invitation they were
intrusted to deliver by the board of
directors of the San Diego exposition.
Their trip as far as the Mississippi
river was very successful and they
showed the Royal Gorge film in the
moving picture shows of many OF the
principal towns in central and west
ern Missouri, including st. Louis and
Kansas City. They estimate that be-
tween st. Louis and Moberly they
showed the picture 10 fully fvetthous-
and people.
"The Reel California Girls" will
take up at once the matter of erecting
their pavilion on the road to the top
of the Royal Gorge; plans for which
have already been drawn and accept
ed. They will have the excavation
for the foundation done as soon as
possible, as well as the material haul
I'D for the building. 1t is their inten-
ton to push the construction work as
rapidly as the weather will permit.
