CAUGHT IN HIS OWN TRAP

It happened in the court room dur
ing the trial of a husky young man
who was charged with assault and
battery. Throughout an especially
severe cross -examination the defend
ant stoutly maintained that he had
merely pushed the plaintiff a little
bit.
well, about how hard?' queried
the prosecutor. 80
ooh, just a little Bit" responded
the defendant. al
"Now," said the attorney, "for the
benefit of the judge and the jury,
you will please step down here and,
with me for the subject, illustrate
Just how hard you mean
Owing to the unmerciful badgering
which the witness had just been
through, the prosecutor thought that
the young man would perhaps over
do the matter to get back at him,
and thus incriminate himself.
The defendant descended as per
schedule, and approached the waiting
attorney. When he reached him the
spectators were astonished to see
him slap the lawyer in the face,
kick him on the shins, seize him
bodily, and, finally, with a supreme
effort, lift him from the floor and
hurl him PROSTATE across the table
Turning from the bewildered prose-
cutor, he faced the court and ex-

Complaint Against Admr. Prudden !,
Ascribed TO Selfishness.

The coal shortage is just now en-

Is very grave. aud last Saturday night
convention was held at which an
emissary was sent to Washington 10
complain OF State Administrators Prud

vance OF SO cents per ton be allowed
by President Wilson to the coal mine
operators
Mr. Prudden came back with i
statement that the complaint was
caused by a few "gouging" dealers
who sought TO prohteer at the expense
Of the public As sample OF the at
tompts TO prifteer he stated that I'm
the case OF one boat load Of coal seiz
ed by him. he was informed that the
expense for insurance while the cargo
was being unIoaded would amount to
$1,000 per day for 10 days and that an
expense OF soc per ton for incidentals
would result
Mr. Prudden insured the cargo for
$1,000 and by giving every dealer IN
Detroit an opportunity to get coal in
stead of distributing Il through cer-
tain dealers he did away with the in
cidentals.
The situation Is getting worse right
along although the railroads promies

DO nos blame your dealers be-
cause your coal bin is not full.
They are trying in every way pos
sible to get coal enough to run
Iron county through the winter
They are cooperating loyalty with
the Federal administration in an
effort to prevent suffering.
1t is up to every person burning

by keeping the temperature as
