in CONTEMPT
SUIT INSTITUTED AGAINST
MOTHER SUPERIOR OF A
CONVENT.

Redfield, Dec. 27.-Warrants on
charges of contempt of court have
been issued against A. j. Donovan,
of Redfield. formerly a clerk in the
Milwaukee station at Aberdeen, and
against Sister Louise, mother supe-
rior of a Catholic convent at Turton.
by Judge Alva f. Taylor, of the state
circuit court here, because of the dis
appearance of two children of Don
ovan's, who had been placed in the
convent.
Sometime ago Donovan's wife Sc
cured a divorce from him, and the
children, now aged 6 and 2 years,
were placed in the convent at Turton.
Later, Mrs. Donovan remarked, and
is now a resident of Sioux City, her
name now being Mrs. Lyle Mallory.
Recently, for the purpose of enabling
her to bring suit against her former
husband for the custody of the chill
dren, which she desired to take, the
court made her guardian of the chill
dren and she began habeas corpus
proceedings for their possession.
When the sheriff went to serve the
papers on Donovan and the mother
superior, he found that Donovan had
disappeared, and hal the children
had disappeared from the convent.
Proceedings in contempt of court
were then instituted.

TRAIN in SNOW
PASSENGERS WHICH SHOULD
HAVE ARRIVED THIS MORN
ING DELAYED MANY HOURS.

Inconvenience on account of de-
lays, but not suffering from cold, 1t
is reported. dozens of passengers
bounds from the twin cities, Bristol
and intermediate points, spent most
of today in coaches stuck in a snow
drift about two and a half miles south
of Bradley, some eighty miles north
of this city.
The strain lodged in the now was
due to arrive here at 8 o'clock this
morning. 1t was still stuck in a drift
early this afternoon. AT local offices
of the Milwaukee railway company ii
was said that men were shoveling
ahead of the engine, which vas keep
ing up steam and warming the
coaches.
1t was reported that it would
probably not be necessary to send an
engine to the trains relief. There
are several deep cuts on the Milwau-
kee line in the vicinity of the place
where the train has been stalled since
early morning.

purpose the maintenance of the
smaller lakes of the state at a def
mite stage of water. not to be affect

COAL CwONFISCATED
FREIGHT TRAINS DISCONTINUED
FOR WANT OF FUEJ-PAS-
SENGERS DELAYED.

A shortage of coal has caused a
shutting down, to an extent, of the
freight train service in this district.
Because of insufficient fuel the
tri-weekly service of freight trains
running north and west of the city
has been discontinued. Largely due
to general conditions at the mines
and influenced by weather, the rail
ways have been con~fiscating coal sent
over their roads. The Milwaukee
railway has. during the last week.
taken considerable coal consigned to
private dealers. 1t was said here to-
day that the railway company could
not exist if 1t did not now confiscate
coal sent over its lines.
The train due here at about 9
o'clock this morning from the west
was but slightly delayed. The Mil
waukee train due from the north at
about the same time was indefinitely
delayed, it vas reported.
General orders have been sent out
not to attempt to move east bound
freight only in case of emergency.
The main issue is to get westbound
coal over the road to destinations
when not in immediate demand by
the railway. Railway officials here
cannot account for the shortage OF
fuel

and the entire district is covered
with a coating Of ice.
The snow started falling early
Monday morning and continued late
into the night. Hundreds of persons
who had planned on spending Christ
mas day with friends and relatives
were compelled TO wait many hours
in towns en- route, as the train serv-
ice vas greatly hindered. All trains
are running several hours behind
their regular schedule.
The sudden storm caused great
suffering in many sections. During
the cold period a week ago, residents
of all towns purchased practically the
entire supply of coal. The shortage
of cars has resulted in the railroads
being handicapped in their delivery
of fuel and. as a result. many homes
are without coal.
The snow has drifted along the
highways and the delivery of Christ
mas parcels is being accomplished
with much difficulty. The storm was
the worst so far this season.

BIG COMET EN- route
OUTCIASSING HALLEI'S AND
ALL OTHERS, 1T WILL BE
VISIBLE NEXT SPRING.

St. Louis Globe-Democrat A gil
gantic comet, outclassing in size and
brilliancy all those seen in modern
times, including Halley's, is speeding
through the solar system toward the
sun at. the approximate rate of l.
|134,246 miles a day. The comet will
be a thing of glory i'm the northwest
ern sky next spring. probably remain
ing visible for three months. 1t will
be at its best in June.
To illustrate the size of this new
member of the solar system, recall
the fact that Halley's comet, which
held the center of the stellar stage i'm
1910, much TO the CONSERVATION of
southern negroes, was seen through
the great telescope eight months be-
fore p%erihelion. Father Martin S.
Brennan. astronomer-priest. suggests
perihelion is a planets closest APP
proach to the sun. The new comet
was seen fourteen months before per
ihelion-or six months earlier than
Halley's was seen or sought for. Not
so with the new comet, which will
soon vie with operate. political and
other stars of the news prints.
This comet projected itself without
the aid of a publicity agent. 1t APP
peared on the Photographic plate at
the end of Prof Max VOLTS telescope
at Heidelberg one evening last April
DR.. Wolf thought il a new asteroid
and was about to add il TO the large
collection of those small planets al
ready listed among the astronomical
exhibits: but a second and third OBJ
servation showed the stranger to be
an eccentric actor-a member of the
cometary school and of enormous
size. 1t was then something like
Asa, 900 600 miles distant. Or. Wolf
reported the comet officially, and il
was listed as Comet b, 1916. but will
go down i'm popular history as VOLTS
comet.
Computations made at discovery
BY Father Brennan and his compeers
throughout the country indicate
VOLTS comet was at a greater dis
lance than that of any other comet
on record when first seer in remote
space, which is another fact TO en-
phasize its monster size. VOLTS
comet will have a period of fifty
years after 1917-you might see il
again in 1867, perhaps.
Prof. Edward Il. Barnard, who
sweeps the windy heavens with the
great Yerkes telescope, photographed
Prof. Wolf, but failed to report 1T.
"A victory for the Germans" as Fa-
ther Brennan puts it.
