CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF BIAS
KERRY MAKING
Pretty Articles Exhibited In Old
Postoffice.

There have been more or less items
published regarding a class of basket
ry being formed among the girls of
the Putnam Girls club under the su-
pervision and instruction of Mrs. E.
NJ. Warner. An abstract statement
does not get as much attention as the
concrete example and those who have
seen the concrete Illustration of the
work this class of girls is doing were
very much surprised at the beauty
and symmetry of the articles made.
Whether peach baskets, clothes bas-
kets or rough weaves were being
manufactured, the uninitiated did not
understand, but were prone to be-
lieve that it was something of the
sort. 1t was this wrong impression
that caused the surprise when one
looked into the old postoffice room in
Union block and saw the display of
pencil trays, card plates, cake and
fruit baskets, coasters, night set for
guest room, and large fern box
for a window. The weaves were in
light and dark shades and looked
handsome. Such work as that ex-
hibited is a credit to the class and the
instructor.
Among those exhibiting were: Hill
da Hoist, Annie johnson, May Pye,
Rose Goblin, Hattie Inman, Helen Ba-
shaw, Bertha Richardson, Edith Ding
wall, Angelo Dupre, Glorianna Char
ron, Josephine Clifford and Blanche

MIKE MURPHY GETS FOUR
MONTHS
MIKE
Woman Said He Slapped Her and
Threatened to Kill Her.

Michael Murphy was sent to jail
for 80 days for intoxieation and three
months for assaulting Elizabeth 0s-
trander by Judge Geissler, Monday
morning.
Murphy was boarder at the Widow
Ostrander's home on Walnut street.
Acc ng to his landlady he was a
find IN" when sober, but he did
not 81 | much of his time living up
to THAI equation and according to
William .Shippee, another witness,
Murphy rad been intoxicated for the
past three years.
According to Mrs. Ostrander, Muir
ply came home drunk and "swatted'
her kicked her, and threw a glass of
water at her. She said he had threat
ened to kill her and although she had
tried to get rid of him he stuck,
Shippee testified to seeing the wo-
mans face after the assault, and then
went into little narrative that was
no credit to Michael. Shippee said
that Murphy had lot of the worst
"bums" in town hanging around the
place. He had known Murph. three
years, "and," said the witness, this
is the first time / have seen him sober
in that time, and he wouldn't be now
if he could get into saloon" He
said that Murphy had threatened to
kill his landlady if he was arrested,
and she was afraid of him. As TO
Mrs. Ostrander, Shippee said that she
was an honest, hard working woman,
who owned a little place and was try
ing to get along doing general work
and keeping a boarder or two.
Murphy has a son. The son was
before the court some months ago,
and promised to pay fine which the
father guaranteed would be paid.
The fine has never been paid, and, ac-
cording to Shippee, the father advised
the son to run away. This the de-
PENDANT denied, but it was a matter of
record that the fine remains unpaid.
Murphy admitted that he was drunk
but denied the assault. He told sew
eral stories of the affair, and accused
the woman of keeping house that
was not all it should be, although he
admitted that it was good enough
place for him to spend the past three
years. The man told conflicting stor-
les and made statements that did not
ring true.
