Despite Her Black Eye
Woman Defends Husband

MILFORD. Del. Feb. 1t-Although
Mrs. Sherry Masten appeared In court
with black eye and witnesses were
present who swore they had seen her
husband give her a severe heating, she
took the witness stand while he was on
trial for wife beating and denied that
he had ever struck her. She explained
her black eye by declaring a small son
had accidentally hit her.
The witnesses who claimed to have
been present when the beating was
done and the magistrate who had de-
termined TO make an example of Mas
ten. who is an old offender. were dunn
founded by her testimony.
There was nothing to do but discharge
Masten on that charge. but the magis-
trate Immediately held him under 1890
bond TO keep the peace upon complaint
OF neighbors. who declared he disturbed
them.

FOREST RECEIPTS GROW.

Receipts from national forests for
the fiscal year 1916 reached the high
water mark OF approximately $500
900, according to figures just compiled.
This is S341 900 above the 1915 total,
which in turn exceeded any previous
year. officials say that the gain was
due to increased demand for all classes
OF forest products.
There was a decided growth in the
revenue from all sources. the largest
being that of $203. 900 In timber sales
Grazing fees showed a gain of SIT, ZOO.
Receipts for water power development
were over $4,000 more than for 1915.
Sales Of t%urpentine privileges and
charges for special uses were both
considerably I'm excess Of the previous
year.
Officials say that the national forests
are important factors in the prosperity
OF the regions in which they are To-
Gated on account of the large amounts
OF timber, range and other
which they hold available for use as
needed.

hay fever po4lens, so that visits to
these places in the hope of getting re-
lief are usually disappointing. A care
ful investigation should always be
made, and unless it Is found that all
weeds and high grasses are systematic
ally cut such places should be avoided.
las hay fever is due to pollen of neg

a sufficient distance (one-half mile)
from such weeds will usually give en-
tire relief.
Hay fever sufferers should avoid
unnecessary exposure to pollen. Roads
passing near sections fun of grass and

of pollen. which is inhaled with the
dust. An hour of pleasant driving may
therefore result in a night of suffering.
constitutional conditions have been

of hay fever is the inhalation of pollen,

COURT 81
Claim and Counter Claim Mark Case
at Observation-Disclosures Given
Verdict.

Hartford, Aug. Alleging that
the COW in the case was ~trespassing
on the public highway, Otto Fenster-
man, living near Hartford, escaped
with an adverse verdict of 81 in q
damage suit instituted against him
by G. A. Berry. a farmer and owner
of the COW which was struck and
killed by Fensterman's automobile.
Berry started the action for the pur-
pose of securing a Judgment against
Fensterman for the full value of the
animal. AT the trial of the case
Fensterman's attorneys brought in a
counter claim against Berry for dam
age done to Fensterman's automo-
bile by the collision with the alleged
trespassing COW. The members OF
the jury must have believed there
was some justice i'm the counter
claim, for after long and careful dc
liberation they returned a verdict
awarding Berry a judgment for 81
against Fensterman.

Excessive Heat Causes Rail To Spring

to the dangers Of railway traffic in
sections of South Dakota. Yester-
day the northbound passenger train
had a narrow escape from being
wrecked a short distance from Clear
Lake as the result of the great heat.
Just as the last coach of the train
passed ove one of the rails on a

its place and stuck out about feet to

all the cars had passed Over it the
train would have been wrecked, as 1t
