POISON TONGUES

Now Seek Forgiveness of Young
ToWnsWoman Whom They
Had PiIIoried.
1T nOMCc TOn late
1T COMES TOO LATE
Even Ministers Apologize, but Mrs
Mcintyre Feels That She Must
Leave the Town Where She
Suffered So keenly.

New Castle, Pa.-MrS. Ada McIn-
tyre, wife of "Scotty'' Mcintyre,
steel worker, whom the town of New
Castle ostracized because she took
motorcar ride with another man, is
leaving, in spite of the fact that the
townspeople who pilloried her for her
act are willing to forgive. The for
giveness comes after she had been con-
demned by everyone and ministers had
censured her for her act from the pull
pits.
Now the Mcintyre family, which in
cludes a twenty-months-ol baby, is
moving.
'Scotty" Mcintyre has been a steel
worker here for % years His wife,
the town now admits, committed no
grave error, save to accept the proffer
of a ride with another married wom-
an and two men. One of the men had
been drinking, the motor broke down,
and in quarrel one Of the men was
killed.
Mrs. Mcintyre Under Bail.
Mrs. Mcintyre is under bail here as
material witness in connection with
the death of J. G. Abraham, travelling
salesman, who was slain while driving
with Mrs. Mcintyre, Mrs. Harriet Olds
and her brother, Roy Phillips.
The people of New Castle, whose
sense of self-righteousness suddenly
rose to the fore and condemned Mrs.
Mcintyre without a hearing, are sorry.
Even the ministers who condemned
her have gone to her and apologized.
1t happened this way: Miss Muir
chard, New Castles policewoman and
probation officer, after reading Mrs.
McIntyre's published appeal for Glenn
ency from the Christian people Of the
community, went to call on "Scotty"
and his wife. There she saw the spir-
it existing between the two and their
happiness together. She went out and
called on the ministers and explained
to them their mistake. She also had
a talk with the leaders of public sem

Deer's Remarkable Attachment to Man
Who Had Cared for 1t in Its
Helplessness.

A two-pronged buck deer answers
the calls of Jerry Shine, employed by
the municipal water district at Alpine
dam, near San Raphael, Cal.
Long ago Shine one day came upon
a dead doe in the trail Of the forest,
and standing beside the mother was a
fawn. 1t was miles to Shines cabin,
but he carried the fawn home with
him, fed it and gave it the name Of
Billy. After time Shine left the dis
trict. He returned several days ago
and asked his fellow workers the
whereabouts of his deer. They laughed
at him; the deer had gone back to ma
ture, they said.
Shine mounted the parapet of the
dam and called for Billy. The deer.

port-Doctors to Take X-Ray.

Reports from Washington this
week that Congressman w. Frank
James has suffered relapse and is
again confined to his bed, have caused
much concern among his many
friends here.
Physicians attending Mr.. James
have announced that the congress-
mans blood is normal, but his
strength has failed. The doctors
have decided, to have IN X-ray pic
ture taken in n e-Ur5 to further
diagnose the'- - tents condition.
: Mr.. 'Ts-..es became seriously i'll
somc tim ago in Washington and
;-s taken to hospital where it was
found that blood TRANSMISSION would
be necessary to save his life. The
TRANSMISSION was successful and the
results gratifying. His condition inn
proved steadily, but few weeks ago
the physicians decided that a second
TRANSMISSION of blood would hasten the
congressman's recovery. The second
operation was also successful and
Mr.. James strength returned rapid
ly. Last week he was allowed to
leave his bed for the first time since
his illness began.
His relapse is a surprise and is the
thing that the doctors were especial
ly guarding against.

HEBARD CAMP OPENS.

The best news received here for
some time came tuesday when
Woods Supt. Oliver Morris an
nounced that Camp Ia of the Charles
Hebard & Sons Lumber company of
Pequaming would open and be run
full blast getting out logs for next
seasons cut.
Since the close down Of the various
saw mills and the curtailment of the
woods work Baraga county has had
decided slump. It is hoped that all
of the other companies will increase
their log cut so that the re-justment
can be gotten over with and business
rushed to it's full capacity in this
section.
