Court Directs Verdict For Defence in
Alienation Suit. "a
Newton. Dec. 21.-Judge Charles A.
Dewey directed verdict for the de-
fendant In the ,325, 900 alienation suit
in which Mrs. Mabel Kimberly was
suing John b., Kimberly, her father
in-law, alleging that John B. KIM
berly had influenced. Frank KIM
berry, the plaintiffs husband. to
leave her.
The wife asserted the father did
everything In his power to prevent
the marriage and that about three
days following the marriage he was
instrumental in inducing her hus.
band to 60 away on a business trip
from which he never has returned.
While on the witness stand she
testified that John Kimberly said in
her presence that "he would rather
see Frank dead and rotting In his
grave than to marry me-"
The verdict was directed on the
ground that~sthe case was barred
from the Jurisdiction Of court by the
statute Of limitations, which pro-
,vides that such cases must be
brought within two years from the
date of last efforts toward alienation.
In this case the time had been Ave
years. The court sustained the

LETTERS IN MAIL BOX BURN.
Fort Dodge Has Unusual Fire Caused
BY Smokers Careisssness.


BY Smokers Careisssness.
Fort Dodge, Dec. 21.--The burning
of letters after they have been read
Is regular thing An exception to
the rule occurred yesterday ut 10 O.
clock In the Shell building where fif-
ty letters were discovered on fire In
the building mail box.
The. fire was reported Just thirty
minutes after the carrier had made
the first collection In the morning
Smoke issuing from the chute lead
ing &C. the top Of the building attract
ed someone's attention who notified
Postmaster Frank Ryan. reporting
that the mail chute was afire
A carrier was promptly sent to the
Smell building. He opened the box
and dug out the remains OF about
fifty charred letters. Some OF The
envelope stubs rescued from tho
flames contained small Christmas
gifts charred checks protruded from
other half burned envelopes.
A careful examination OF the
burned remnants enabled Postmaster
Frank Ryan to learn the names OF all
but one sender. Certificates of with
draw.l. accounting FOR the loss Of
these letters. have been issued to all
those whose return cards could be
found on the envelopes
The cause Of the mail box blaze Is
laid to the recklessness OF some ci-
garet. or cigar smoker. While mailing
a letts-. It Is thought probable, that
the smoker may have held a burning
cigar or cigaret in his hand in such a,
manner that the sparks and envelope
fell into the box together.
"ThIs is the first mail box fire dur
ing my experience as postmaster, In
fnct It'll the hrst fire ct It's kind that
I've e,'sr heard OF" said Mr.. Ryan.

that such fire could happen any
time. Persons melting letters while
they hold lighted smoke in their
hands ought to be very cautious"

Dubuque, Dec. e1.--Gradually the

Tho reporter and the patient had
an enjoyable talk lasting an hour and
a half. They had gone thru the same
battles at Ypres, the Somme and
vimy and many incidents were re-
which may help q great deal in
quickening the return of memory.
OF his years OF military service he
had remembered nearly all. Battles
he engaged in. towns he was billeted
in and people he became acquainted
with in France, are now as clear to
him as to any other returned soldier.
Practically all that still eludes him
Is hts own name, birthplace ana the

his condition whom no arrived In Du-

time he had almost no recollection OF
the past and could scarcely frame his
sentences correctly without paying
careful attention to what ne was

and nuently, without hesitation or
stopping to think Of what he wishes
to say.
