tination being Patterson. When the
flagman announced his station Old al
leges he stood on the bottom step and
peered into the darkness The train he
asserts had slowed down for the pur
pose of permitting him to alight when
the cars suddenly and violently jerlIed
and started in rapid motion. He was

ACCUSES HUSBAND Charging
that her husband William NJ. Under
wood who conducts a pool hall at Six
Points, made her accompany hun on a
| drive during which his one stop was
to secure a gun with which he thrat-
ened to kill her and man about town.
Mrs. Cora Underwood caused the arrest
| of Underwood yesterday. He pleaded
| guilty and Justice De SouZa placed him
under a $3.50 peace bond. Mrs. Under
wood protested that her husbands ac-
ton was uncalled for She said she
was a good woman. She is employed
| in one of the downtown laundries.
| ITS WORSE THAN EVER--For a
period of time almost termed an age,
the road in front of the state house
on Seventeenth avenue has been torn
| up. II has almost been impossible to
make the trip from the car line to the
state house even when it has been dry,
| but yesterday the trip was made i'm
possible. In the course of the paving
| which has been dragging along IL has
| become necessary to again piow the
road up. The freshly plowed earth
which surrounds the capitol grounds
yesterday almost created quarantine.
! and caused the legislative attaches,
equipped with white shoes to give up
in disgust and wonder why is pave
ment anyhow.
