Pieucher objected to his holding out his pay and made a grab for the pile of money on the desk, getting $19. MT. Bennett grabbed him and held him, he said, and Pleucher punched him. He then called for the police Another employe named Beckett testified to the trouble and said he saw Pleucher hit MT. Bennett once. Edward Peterson, another witness said he saw both men hitting each other and said the trouble was over Bennetts holding out on Pleucher's S lay. During all the testimony Mr. Bennett showed a disposition to in terrupt and objected to several ques- tions put to him by Lawyer P. F. McDonOugh, representing the accused
 Pleucher gave similar testimony. ex- Cept that he said he objected to Ben- nett taking his pay from him and grabbed for it. When he did he said Bennett caught his hand and bent it back until he injured it. He also said Bennett punched him and ripped his shirt from his back and then had him arrested. While Lawyer McDonOugh was talking MT. Bennett again strode over to Assistant Prosecutor J. G. Woods and while the lawyer for the defense was waiting for him to stop lie remarked The will not sit down, there's no use talking" Lawyer Me- Donough expounded at some length cn law and said that MT. Bennett had nc right to hold back all of PleuChers s pav and $25 of it was exempt by law. He termed Mr. Bennett's actions "ungentlemanly' and said that if anyone had committed an assault 1t was the laundry man.
 After the prosecution and defense had rested MT. Bennett thought of something else he wanted to say so Prosecutor Woods called him to the stand. If you want to ask him any particular question all right, but I'm not going to have him rambling all over the field again" demonstrated Judge Meskill. The prosecutor had no questions to ask.
 The courts opinion was that the case should rightly come before civil court. However, as none of the money in MT. Bennett's office had been officially set aside as PleuCher's pay the latter had no right to touch it as legally it was MT. Bennett's. Therefore, when he did touch it MT. Bennett had the legal right to resist and use force in protecting his prop

An Indignant Prisoner.
 George Jennings was as indignant a prisoner as has been in court for a long time and he made no attempt to hide the fact. He said the police were trying to make a fool out of him. Officer Thomas Birmingham said that early Sunday morning Jennings aD- preached him on Arch street and said his wife had just given him a bloody down and quiet. her. With Officer Charles Anderson he went to the Jen- nings home and while questioning the wife Jennings interfered several times and finally became abusive and told the officers that just because they wore brass buttons they were not as important as they considered them selves. Finally he was placed under arrest ''fOr insulting an officer,' Off, cer Birmingham said. Mrs. Jennings told the police of abuse she has suffered and gave them a revolver which she said her husband had threatened to use on her and the po- lice if she plained about him. Of ficer Anderson gave similar testimony.
 Jennings lost no time, when given a chance to speak, to declare that the policemen who arrested him were liars when they said he was drunk. He said he called them in so that they could see that he was not wholly to blame for all the trouble at his house. He denied threatening to shoot anyone and said that the story his wife told in this connection was

At the time however, the mother kept the child In the afternoon the child's mother visited the depot where she met Soder- gren and another young woman. The two women engaged in a braWl and Sodergren was also mixed up in it, to the amusement of the large crowd and the annoyance of Officer Frank English. The affair came to a head yesterday when the girl de- manded her child
 Mrs Sodergren stated that she had cared for the baby since it was five or six months old and it is now over two years of age.

If we all would practice inside-bath-

take place. Instead of thousands of
half sick, anaemic looking souls with
pasty, muddy compilations we should
see crowds of happy, healthy, rosy

son is that the human system does not
rid itself each day of all the waste
which it accumulates under our pres
ent mode of living. For every ounce
of food and drink taken into the sys-
tenn nearly an ounce of waste mate
rial must be carried out, else 1t fer

which are absorbed into the blood.
Just as necessary as it is to clean
the ashes from the furnace each day,
before the fire will burn bright and
hot, so we must each morning clear the
inside organs of the previous days ac-
