Arizona place.
Seeking a reason for his wife's
flight, Fitzpatrick alleges that he
learned several surprising things. His
wife's cigarette purchases at q country
grocery store near the Fitzpatrick
home supplied the first clues. The
husband Is a cigarette hater. He
smokes only cigars and pipes. And his
wife had not acquired the tobacco
habit.
Inquiries, IT was stated. developed
that the cigarettes were intended for
one Chester Countryman, progresses

Countryman was frequent caller at
the Fitzpatrick home in the absence of
the head OF the house. Moreover. Fits

friendly neighbor went on buggy rides
and strolls.

Shocked by these discoveries and
with the letters of his wife indicating
her lack of intent to return TO the

Attorney Sidney j. Kelly for an abso-

DEER INCREASING IN
CHEAT RIVER REGION

PARKERSBURG. W.. Va, July %.
For the first time in number Of
years deer have been reported in the
Cheat river section several miles
north of Ices Ferry. On the other
side OF the mountains, 1t is said,
there are a great many of these an
imals and in the fall of last year
several large bucks were killed by
hunters.
Motorists passing through the
Cheat river section report having
seen buck and a doe watering in
the river near the main highway
several times. Deer in West Viz
ginia are protected by the State
game laws for. about ten years yet
and II is the belief that they are
increasing in such numbers that by
the time the protection is removed
there will be some excellent hunting

cataracts and other diseases of the
eye are very common among the
people, she was soon overburden
with work and found herself pcr-
forming several hundred operations
q month with such good results that
the peasants believed she was en-

was terribly handicapped because
there were no trained nurses, except
those that the American Women's
Hospital Is educating. and her only
aid was a practical pharmacist. a
man without education, and a SIX

great things, for she has climbed over

in a position to work for the benefit
Of other women In industry. The sum-

was started, and there Is no doubt
that next year she will see other col
