ARREST MAN
WANTED HERE

NEW BRUNSWICK, Dec. S.
Some idea of the way in which the
Middlesex county authorities keep
track OF criminals may be obtained
by the following:
Three years ago, Nick Ratog alias
John Simon. was arrested in Perth
Amboy for operating a money max
ing machine and fleeing a resident
of that city out of S2,700. Ratog was
locked up in the Middlesex county
Jail and about two years ago broke
pail and departed for parts I'M
known. The authorities of Middlesex
county sent out a description of the
fellow and nothing more was heard
from the matter until today, wheL
the authorities of Los Angeles COM
municated with the Middlesex aI-
thorities, informing them that they
had arrested n Oscar Simon, who
was making counterfeit money and
operating a money making machine.
The county authorities have sent a
photograph of the mar wanted here
and his bertilion measurements to
the Los Angeles police.

and difficulties that enter into the
lives Of every couple a short time
after the honeymoon is over, and
which are the danger rocks OF the
marital state.
The author has woven a parallel
between the acts of a judge and OF
a laboring man, both of them mar
ried and both of them more or less
self-centered and lacking that some-
thing which a wife yearns for and
demands to make her happy.
Both husbands are of a suspicious
nature, and when they become
aroused they ,act-each in HIS own
way. The judge drives his wife out
of his home: the laborer beats MS
wife. But the cause in each case
has been the same. Arraigned be-
fore the judge, the laborer is sem
fenced to a term in prison-the judge
blind to his own faults.

to Mr.. Seaman, who plays the part
of the young attorney, to display his
histrionic talent.

lake whose woodsy shores pro-
vide ideal picnic grounds, receiv-
ed thousands of personal respon-
ses to her invitations for the
neighbors to come in and spend
the Foruth with her. People had
been entertained at Winchester
before on the Fourth and, having
enjoyed the hospitable welcome
they received then, this time they
took all their friends along. All
the nearby folks were there and
many came from so miles away.
It was an ideal picnic day
plenty of heat and dust to make
lemonade and ice cream impart
its best kick, and folks hunt the
shade or welter along as best
they could while watching the
sports and feats of skill. The
street amusements and water
sports held the interest of many,
while many more lazily held to
the inviting shade among the ma
jestic pines around the lake and
town. Swimming and boating
were literally INDUCED in, and
in the evening the fireworks on
the lake were enjoyed by throngs
who torried over to see them.
One of the largest crowds OF
base ball fans ever punched on
the prairie saw the Winchester
Nezperce Leaguers go for seven
innings of fine exhibition,
when Nezperce weakened and, as
in the game the previous Sunday
by tn same teams, Winchester
took long and safe lead, the
lumber lads winning on the 4th
