DETECTIVE LOSES
PURSE IN ''DEGREE'

Sioux City, Dec. 81. ]. Hardwood,
private detective employed by the
Woodbury. County Anti-saloon league
to obtain evidence against bootleggers,
was searching for two girls whom he
alleges robbed him while he was ad-
ministering the third degree in an
effort to wiring admissions from them
that they were bootleggers.
Hazelwood, who says he is spot
ter" and not a detective, declared he
suspected the girls of being interested
in the liquor traffic.
The girls were induced to visit Haz-
elwood's room. according to his story,
where it had been planned to obtain
their confessions through coercion.
Some difficulty was met in gaining
the desired information, Hazelwood
said. and when he and his companion
retired temporarily to compare notes
and map out a new campaign the girls
rifled the pockets of their coats which
had been left in the room, HaZelwood
said
The robbery was not detected until
the girls had been permitted to slip
away. Hazelwood later complained to
the police but says he could get no as
sistance from the members OF the po-
lice department.

Do NOT CONCEDE
ELECTION is VOID

Macon, Mo-, Dec. 9.-The drys here
do not concede that the ruling of the
supreme court on writ of certiorari
which raised an issue on the action of
the Kansas City court of appeals,
means that the local option election
held in Macon December 8, 1913, is
void.
They contend that the decision of
the appellate court, which is upheld by
the supreme court simply means that
the case is back for trial on the mer-
Its in the lower court and that the OBJ.
servance Of the Australian ballot law
is one of the issues for the lower court
to try.
The case cannot be reached at the
December term, but the drys will file
q plea in abatement at the April term
Judge G. p Hess, attorney for the
vets, declared the supreme courts
quashing Of the writ of certiorari was
the end o. the case and that Macon's
local option election was null and void.

FULLMER FILES
PETITION NOW

A petition for divorce, the custody
Of two minor children and the estab-
lishment Of property rights has been
filed in the district court by Lester w.
Fullmer VS.. Bertha r. Fullmer. This
Is the third petition to be filed by one
or the other Of these parties during
the past year and half. On May 4,
1918 Bertha Nullmer filed suit
against Lester Fullmer asking the
court to give her a divorce from him.
On March 20, 1915. this case was dis
missed in court for want Of prosecu-
ton. On November % Of this year the
plaintinfi in the present suit filed
a habeas corpus action against
his wife to recover the custody
of their two minor children whom
he claims were taken away from
their home by the woman when
she left him few weeks previous to
the filing Of the case. Part Of the evil
dence In that matter was taken Satur-
day and the children are still with the
woman.
