"PRlNCESS PAT" ABAND0NS
$4,000 BALM ACTION

Mrs. Margaret De Pataky. who lives at
an uptown hotel. fled precipitately out
of the Queens County Court House. at
Long Island City, yesterday leaving be-
hind her attorney, Joseph a. Fognant,
and a jury in the Supreme Court, and
abandoned her action for $4,000 for al
legged breach of promise to marry, in
which she named Seth W. Fox, Jr.,
wealthy business man of Sparkill, \. Y.
The trial was about to be called by
Justice Van Siclen, before a jury mostly
OF young men, when Mrs. De Pataky came
to court, saying she had been called to
the bedside of her young son Iyor. who
was dying at Garrison, n. Y.
After Mrs. De Pataky left Julian v.
Carabba, counsel for Mr.. Fox went be-
fore Justice Van Siclen and said
"The plaintiff in this case has aban-
doned her suit. Her attorney has con-
scented to a dismissal. with costs against
her. She seeks to obtain $4,000 for al
LEGGED breach of promise to marry. The
defendant denies that he ever promised
to marry her. Today she said to me that
she was willing to settle the case.
This defendant is a member of one OF
the oldest, wealthiest and most prominent
families in Rockland county. This woman
holds herself as the widow of Hun
garian prince I believe that she Is a
married woman. and that is why she does
not wish to 20 to trial. | therefore ask
that you dismiss this case with costs
against her.
The attorney for Mrs. De Pataky had
left the courtroom before the motion was
made and there was no one to speak for
her.
Justice Van Siclen granted the motion,
with costs.

and MY Disguised King" and signed

"Roughhouse VS.. Hohnail."

"Roughhouse VS.. Hobnail.''
This might have been the title OF case
that interested Magistrate w. Bruce Cobl
in the West Side Court yesterday for al
hour and half.
The case was that OF DIR. William NJ
Hirsch, sixty years old, of No. West
Eighty-first street, who was hailed to court
on charge Of disorderly conduct pre-
ferred by Edwin NJ. Simpson, a lawyer
living at the same address. Roughhoust
is an Irish setter belonging to DR.. Hirsch
while Hobnail is a toy bulldog, the pride
and joy of Mr.. Simpson.
In order to get the proper perspective il
must be known that DR.. Hirsch is five feet
four inches tall and his dog, Roughhouse
weighs seventy-four pounds, while Mr.
Simpson is six feet four inches tall, his
dog, Hobnail, weighing seventeen pounds
During the trial DR.. Hirsch referred to Mr.
Simpson as 'the seven footer."
Roughhouse and Hobnail have declared
a feud and their action brought on hos
tilities between DIR. Hirsch and Mr.. Simp-
son. 1t developed in court that in the vari-
Gus and sundry fights that have taken
place, DIR. Hirsch sometimes bested Mr.
Simpson, while Hobnail always came off
victorious in his encounters with Rough
house.
The trouble began in Central Park,
where DR.. Hirsch and Roughhouse in
taking their daily constitutional met Mr..
Simpson and Hobnail. Roughhouse and
Hobnail clashed, with the result that in a
iiffy Hobnail was hanging to Rough
houses ear.
In separating the two dogs the owners
became angry at each other, and, ac-
cording to the testimony, fighting talk
developed on both sides. Mr.. Simpson
says that whenever he and DIR. Hirsch

Days Felt This Summer. 2 "a
Inches Rainfall at Irvington.

The intense heat of Friday and Sat-
urday, which were the hottest days
recorded this summer, was relieved
Saturday afternoon by the rain storm
which was followed by drop in the
temperature of several degrees The
rain was accompanied by an electrical
storm. No damages have been re-
ported in this community, but reports
from over the county and sections of
the State show that the lightning and
wind played havoc with the gardens,
trees and electric wires.
The storm reached Cloverport be-
tween $50 and 4 o'clock during the
afternoon performance of the chautau-
qua. The company staging Polly of
the Circus" had to abandon giving the
last act on account of the storm.
Many persons were caught during the
heavy rain under the chautauqua tent
Two and three-fourths inches of
rain fell at Irvington, Saturday after
noon in 1-2 hours. The temperature
Sunday and Monday was decidedly
lower and a great relief from the

bout twenty-five children took part in
the pageant and they disclosed to a
very appreciative audience an unusual
amount of talent in musical and dram
atical lines for so short a preparation
for staging their parts.
The attendance this year to the

the deficit of the guarantors. Pledges
were taken on Friday evening for the

not enough signers to guarantee the
necessary amount to get it, 1t is pro-
bable that Cloverport will have an
other chautauqua next summer either
