SEEMINGLY TWAS EVER THUS
Example Of Eternal Triangle Will
Soon Be Presented to Another
Judge and Jury.

Not so very long ago there lived to-
gether in Indianapolis a certain man
and woman. They were well past
middle age, and their children were
reared and gone. One evening the
man Of the family nervOusly marked
the passing of time. Sad suspicion
gripped the heart of the woman. The
husband explained that he would have
to be away from home that evening
on business. The wife explained that
she did not wish to stay at home alone,
and would go to a neighbours home.
She left the house first. But she did
not go to the neighbours home. Instead
she slipped into the rear seat of the
curtained darkness of her husbands
automobile. and covered herself with
a robe. After while he came out
of the house and drove away He
drove to another house in the city and
drew up in front. He left the car and
entered the house. The wife also left
the car and took position in the
shadows nearby. After few minutes
wait the man came out of the house
with another woman on his arm. The
eternal triangle was completed, and
the same old thing happened. Now
they are getting ready to tell it to the
judge.

One Of the most interesting toy
manufactures of France is not flc-
tory at all, but communal school in
Paris, directed by an amateur design
er, who during the war interested the
children in the making of toys after
his own designs, which were so orig
inal that there was an immediate de-
mand for them. Furthermore, the
children who were making the toys
became so much interested in the
work that large sum was realized,
part of which was turned into the
treasury of the. institution, out a
part was spent in giving the work
ers some diversion. The business is
to be continued on a larger scale
than evsf before.

They drank it, at least, most Of it,

The jury deliberated about fifteen
minutes.
Gary, following the attack on Jones,

sensational chase in Fort Worth a
day or two l1.er, the Negro was cap
tured by Sheriff Henry Forbes and a
number of deputies The Negro had
taken Jones' gun before fleeing from
the farm, but when the officers over
took him he threw the weapon down
on the road.
Dire, one of the Negroes with Gary,

was apprehended. Both Negroes had
removed their shoes, so they could
run faster, and they were brought

OKLAHOMA COUNTY ATTORNEY
REFUSES TO ARREST OR INDICT
WHITE MAN FOR ATTEMPTED
RAPE.

Oklahoma City, Okla, May 5.-Prob-
ably the most dastardly attempt to
deny Negroes common ordinary rights

and Tuesday, when after almost a

Mrs. Jefferson and her husband, Mr..

secure from the county attorneys

Marie, the eleven-year-old daughter
Of Mrs. Jefferson, Monday morning.
According to the story of Mrs. JEFF
ferson, Saunders. who resides in u
small house on the alley back of the
residence where Mrs. Jefferson works
for Mr.. Fred Clark, at 1928 West
31st, came over to the Clark home
Monday and asked permission to hire
Marie, who he said he wanted to
care for his little boy while his wife
was away working. Mrs. Jefferson
states that she sent Marie over be-
teen s and o'clock and that in
very short while the child rushed
back into the yard crying and very
excited.
Interrogated by her mother and
the two white ladies in the home
the little child said that, Saunders
took her into the house, locked the
door, and stating he was taking her
into the room where his boy was, led
her into his bedroom she says he
asked her to lay down on the bed
and when she refused. attempted to
force her upon it. She began to
scream and he then released her
telling her to go home and not say
anything about it.
Mrs. Jefferson immediately went to
Saunders home. She states that he
peeped out to see who she was be-
fore opening the door and that when
she accused him of the crime, he
denied II, saying do you think that

to the Clark home and talking again
with the little child, the mother be-
came almost hesterical with rage to
think of the vile creature into whose
hands she had permitted her child
to fall. Later, while burning trash
and waste paper IN the rear of the
Clark property Mrs. Jefferson states
that Saunders approached her and
demanded that she cease any further
reference to the incident. II do not
care for my wife to hear such q
report and you must cease any fur
