Wilson, Roosevelt, and

With Shoemaker Here

Wilson. Taft, and Roosevelt are
guests today at the home of
Antinetto and GIovaninnI Ricco-
bono, in this city.
The distinguished arrivals re-
fused to be quoted for publica-
ton, but It Is understood that
they will make quite q stay at
the Riccobono residence; in fact,
that they are to become perman-
ent occupants-for Wilson, Taft,
and Roosevelt are triplets, who
arrived last night, the first treble
birth on record in the city for
about fourteen years.
The Italian father, who is q
shoemaker, beaming all over,
despite his increased burden and
the high cost OF living, inform
ed The Times reporter that his
prsdileetion for names OF Presi-,
dental caliber was due to the
fact that the little fellows might
some day really be Presidents.
Riccobono never had a chance, he
says, for he was born In sunny
Italy, which doesn't indulge In
Presidents.
So through life will go the
three little fellows, Wilson, Taft.
and Roosevelt Riccobono.

GIVEN $50 FINE
IN ASSAULT CASE

Clarence Parker was arrested the
first Of the week on complaint of
Salon Nickola of Zenith on a charge
Of assault. It is alleged that Parker
went into the store at Zenith a few
nights ago and proceeded to cheat
up" the proprietor. Afterward he
went to the local justice of the
peace and paid a fine Of $500. When
brought before Judge Folsom Wednes-
day Parker was assessed a fine of
$50 for his part in the affair.
It seems that Parker was under
the impression that when he slipped
quietly over to the justice and paid
the fve-dollar fine that he was en-
tirely through with the matter, but
upon proceeding further the states
attorney learned that the Zenith
justice of the peace was not a quail
fled officer, his bond and oath not
having been filed with the clerk. of
court. ?,
Attorney G. H. Starke appeared for
the defendant in the action before
Judge Folsom and States Attorney
Burgeson prosecuted.
