Gives Her SIS.
On the following day, the petition
says, Mrs. Walker met Lovgren at
Sixteenth and Farnam streets in
company with his daughter, at which
time he is alleged to have pressed
SIS into the brides palm and pleaded
with her not to tell her husband OF
the affair in return for which he is
said by Mrs. Walker to have prom
Used to be good to her"
Later, the petition states, Mrs.
Walker concludede to tell her hus-
band of the affair, which, she says,
she did on July Is.
On July l9, the document con-
tinues, Mr. Walker returned the SIS
to Lovgren and demanded an
apology, which the defendant is al
legged to have refused to make.
A blanket denial was issued late
yesterday by Lovgren, himself, who
charges that "the whole thing is 4
frameup."
Lovgren Says Conspiracy"
ut is plainly a conspiracy" said
Mr.. Lovgren. There is not word
of truth in it.
Here is Mr.. Lovgren's statement:
II have known the Walker girl for
about year. She used to come
over to my home almost every day
to visit with my daughters.
about a little more than a
month ago, her parents, with whom
she and her huband lived, went to
South Dakota. And then things
began to happen.
Says Food Supply Low.
"Her folks left an ample supply
of foodstuffs and l used to go over
to the Walker home quite often. In
few days, however, Mrs. Walker
told me that the food was fast van
ishing and that she did not have
any money.
"On one occasion, Mrs. Walker
said to me, If l don't get some
money somewhere, will have to
borrow S..
Then she asked me for money"
"She later said she would have to
go to her uncle and beg him for
money"

BUILDING BOOM

Operations Are in Progress
Despite Fact Mills Cannot
Supply Demands, He
Asserts.

w. Boyd Jones, superintendent of
construction of Home Builders, is in
receipt of direct information from
the Pacific coast in regard to lum-
Der supply and building operations.
He said:
Zone of our representatives now
is on the Pacific coast looking
into the situation. He reports
sawmills cannot supply the demand
for lumber, which is very great, yet
building operations on all extensive
scale seem everywhere to be in
progress.
Heavily laden lumber trains are
starting east daily, consigned to the
larger cities of the country. This
curtails the local supply in the coast
cities where prices are advancing.
Shingles are quoted at $500 and
flooring at $3.50 per thousand.
Other grades of lumber in proper
ton.
Our representative says also that
the lumber mills are choked with
orders from foreign countries, where
the importer is offering prices above
the quotations the American buyers
are willing to pay. This foreign
demand, the mills think, will be con-
tinuous, and will of course coop

time to come.

charges Lovgren repeatedly en-

tackled her there, as result of
which she has suffered great men
tai and physical anguish"
Lovgren is an elderly man with
two grown daughters. He is a
widower. His family and Mr.. and
Mrs. A. L. Docken, parents ofsMrs.
Walker, with whom she and her
husband were living, had been close
neighbors for a number of years,
and, the petition sets forth, it was
during one of the Walker girls
frequent visits to the Lovgren home
that the alleged attack occurred.
The Docken's live at $50 North
Forty-first avenue and Lovgren and
his family at 632 North Forty-first

Visited Home Frequently.
Mrs. Walkers petition sets forth
that she was a frequent visitor at
the Lovgren home and that she
used to call on Lovgren's daugh-
tiers nearly every day.
On July 9, last, Mrs. Walker as
serts in her petition, she went into
the Lovgren home and found Mr..
LoVgren seated at the telephone.
She thereupon, the document sets
forth, seated herself near the front
door and was soon engaged in con-
versation with the defendant. In
the course of the conversation, the
petition states, Lovgren said to her,
come and kiss me-"
After retreating to the kitchen
upon being thus accosted, Mrs.
Walker was pursued and subjected
to unwelcome advances, according
to the petition.
Further detailed allegations of the
actions of Lovgren follow in the
petition which states that Mrs.
Walker demonstrated with him to no
avail and that she was forced to

by their decision, approximately IS
boiiermakers and their helpers, EN-
ployes of the various contract shops

to work Monday, the majority of
their demands having been conced-
ed by their employers. The men
struck about IS weeks ago to en-
force their demands for increased
wages and improved working con-
ditions.
Negotiations eliminating in the
settlement of the controversy have
been conducted between a commit
tee of the employees and officials Of
affected companies for the past two
weeks. A few differences stood in
the way of settlement yesterday,
but these were ironed out after
lengthy conference. ...g
According to w. V. Angel, in
, ternati nal organizer for the boiler
makers, who has conducted the
strike during the entire period, every
one of the demands originally sub
mitted by the men to their employ
ers have been granted. Boilermak-
ers receive an increase of l2H cents
an hour, bringing their wages up to
80 cents for this period. Helpers,
by the terms of the new contract,
are to receive 90 cents an hour, a
l5-cent increase over the former
scale. -'&

were either compromised or granted.
Officials of the Drake Williams

Gently worked. The story goes that
the two could not agree. A week or
SC ago Millin and wife and young
girl met Pitzer and his brother. The
Mullins were in an automobile and
Pitzer in one-horse rig. Whether or
not the boys refused the road this
paper cannot state but Millen con-
tended that after the rig passed they
heard reports similar to pistol shots
and saw and smelled smoke SUSPECT
ously like gunpowder. Upon their ar
rival home they thought they found

Judge Goodsell deemed that the ev-

further prosecution and accordingly

LOW PRICE OF GOLD
WORRIES MINING MEN.

Deadwood, S. D., June 2S.-The low
price of gold is worrying mining men
in the Black Hills rnd petition is
being circulated to urge congress ito
do something about it,
For nearly 200 years there has not
been any change in the price of gold
according to local financiers and min
ers. More than 1000 signatures have
been attached to petition which is
to be sent to the South Dakota con-
gressional delegation. The chief re-
quest is that the price for gold be in
creased from $2O67 to $780,
During the war the gold industry
was hit hard because of the high
prices paid for silver, copper and 9TH
er metals. Expert miners left the
gold districts because other mining
companies were able to pay much
higher wages. 1t is claimed that ex-
ploration companies have refused to
spend money for new work until a
price adjustment is made The out
put in the Black Hills for ths past
year has been unusually small.
