FARMERS FIGHT, RUN FRANK CARROLL IS
FOR JUDGES OFFICE PORTRAYED AT BALL
Famous Hot Tamale Vender
Makes Big Hit at the Elks'
Masquerade.

All who attended the mask ball Civ
en- by the Elks at the West End Hail
last night are still trying to identi-
fly the impersonato1 of Frank Car
roll, the famous hot tamale vender
and "dusky Romeo" The true por-
tray of the ''how many many" char
acter was awarded the second prize
of the evening but disappeared before
the masks were taken off.
When Franks double entered the
dance hall and began to offer his ta-
males and "hot dogs" for sale he ap-
peared to be the unanimous choice for
first prize but the judges in making
their announcement surprised all by
placing the tamale vender in second
place. With his artistically colored
face, his big lips, his humble conduct
and his scratching voice the uniden-
titled "nigger" centered the attention
of the ball crowd upon himself.
About so couples attended the
dance The clown attire was prevalent
while others preferred more >comical
suits of hideous coiors. Roy Cobble
dressed as a sailor in white, was CIV
en- the first prize for men. Miss Thel-
ma Trosper with her bloomers was
the unanimous choice Of the judges
for the first ladies' prize.
Frank Carroll's impersonator was
awarded the second prize for the most
comical mask. Miss Ida Masterson
| representing the old-fashioned farm
er woman received second prize.
The group prize was carried off by
seven young men from Jackson. They
were Theodore Ade; Henry Mueller
Sherman Cracraft, Frank Spradling
Charles Beattie, Ryland Short and Dr.
Knsey.
At II o'clock the masks were re,
moved. Preceding the awarding Of pri-
, zes the masks formed parade head
ed by Leon and Elmer Haman.
Because Of the inclement weather
many who had purchased tickets in
advance failed to attend the ball but
the event was pronounced one of the
most successful held by the Elks.

W. NJ. Field and W. J. Kirby
Have Each Other Arrested
After Struggle in Field.

The legal phase of an encounter be-
tween William NJ. Field and w. J
Kirby, renters Of the College Farm,
will be thrashed out in court before
Justice of the Peace w. H. Willer to-
day to determine which party wa
justified in the fight that took place
on + fby's farm, yest.rd,s n,ssain<,
Each side claims to be in the r...ht and
it is Il to the judge or jury to SET
TIC the melee.
Kirby, middle-aged man, swore
out warrant for the arrest of Field
who is 10 years old and the latter re-
taliated in the same manner. The
warrant issued against Field charges
him with assault and battery and dis
turbanca of the peace while Kirby is
charged with felonious assault.
Kirby's version of the fight given
a Tribune reporter follows: Kirby, his
sonsand helper, Mert Stoops, were put
ting up fence along their land, when
Field approached them and began to
make Glossy" suggestions. When
, Field was told to leave the place he
became abusive and called the elder
Kirby vile names and advanced toward
him.
Kirby says he backed away from
Field as he wanted no trouble, but
the old man leaped upon him and tore
his eye glasses from his nose, denol-
ishing them. In self-defense he seized
the old man and therw him off. Field
then grabbed a pole and adanced TO-
ward him again and they clinched
The old man fell to the ground. The
belligerents were separated by young
, Kirby and Stoops and the old mar
departed threatening to kill the elder
Kirby, he said.
Several times while Kirby was al
the office of Judge Willer he said he
learned from his employees Field hac
returned to renew his controversy.
Field, however, said he had gone tc
the Kirby farm to purchase some corr
and Kirby became abusive and fin
ally struck him with pole and agar
with an auger while he was lying or
the ground. Young Kirby, Field said
also attacked him, but was taken of
by Stoops. One of his assailants
Field said, drew knife while the!
had him on the ground.
When Field learned that Kirby hat
applied to Judge Willer for warrant
for his arrest, he called on Prosecuting
Attorney Caruthers and asked that h
file an information against Kirby. Th'
trial will likely BE- held today or to
morrow.

w ON AN SAY s
She WAS ABUSED
BY MARY ROLLING.
Mrs, Anna MantZ Asks for
the Arrest of Her
NeighbOr. i.
CHILDREN AFRAID TO
LEAVE THEIR HOME
Woman Who Bombed Relatives
With Eggs Is Again in
Trouble.

A warrant for the arrest of Miss
Mary Rolling living or, the Bloom
field road has been applied for by
Mrs. Anna Mantz, her neighbor,
charging her with disturbing the
peace and calling her vile names. Mrs.
Mantz made affidavit for the warrant
yesterday. 1t will be issued today,
Judge Willer assured Mrs. Mantz:
According to the statement of Mrs.
Mantz to reporter for The Tribune
Miss Rolling had abused her and her
children for the past week and on
various occasions has made threats
against them. The children, Mrs.
Mat,tz said, were so frightened that
they would not leave the house un-
less they were accompanied by their
mother.
Mrs. Mantz lives alone with her
children in their home on Bloomfield
road next door to Miss Rolling. Her
husband has been working in Akron,
O., for several weeks and during his
absence, she said her neighbor had
been showering her and the children
with vile names, abuses and threats.
Several times she has stopped Miss
Rolling as she went to the mail box
which is a short distance from her
home. In order to avoid trouble with
her nefghbor, she said, she sent her
children to the mail box but they too,
were treated in the same way. The
children had become SO frightened
they would not leave the house.
Mrs. Mantz would not repeat the
words her neighbor used toward her
and her children She added that other
neighbors had bitterly complained of
the conduct of Miss Rolling and had
suggested that she be taken away.
Miss Rolling has created several SEN
sations during recent years. Some
time ago she was tried on charge
of being mentally deranged but the
court adjudged her sane at that time.
Neighbors have threatened to renew
the proceedings against her.
Miss Rolling resides alone in house
on Bloomfield road which she sold to
DR.. J. D. Porterfield, Jr., two years
ago. Although the court decided that
the physician was entitled to posses
sion of the property, Miss Rolling con-
tinues to occupy the house during the
time the appeal from the decision of
the circuit court is pending. She at
tempted to regain possession of the
property on the grounds that the
transaction was illegal.
Several months ago Miss Rolling
bombarded her brother-in-law, Henry
Kuss, and his entire family with eggs.
The family were halted in front of
Miss Roling's home. In stopping his
machine, Kuss "killed" the engine and
while he was cranking the car his sis
ter-in-law, emptied the basket on the
occupants of the machine. The result
was that Kuss had to send his clothes
to st. Louis to have the spots remov-
led.
