strives with others. Weenonah's par
ents would give her to Wanapeya
whom she does not love. To save
herself from him she casts herself
over a cliff to destruction.
Then comes the whitemen and
the prairie schooners and then
comes the pioneer physician "the
little DOCTOR w. w. Mayo. He min
listers to the aborigines and to the
settlers alike, bringing health and
healing in his path.
The war breaks out and the doc

settlers in the Indian uprising.
Later he has charge Of recruiting in
Rochester.
The scenes change The war is
over. Peace and prosperity come.

with a terrible tornado which de-
stroys half the town, kills two score
persons, and mains 200 more. The

WERE DANCERS NAUGHTY
That Is Question Which Will BE De-
clded In Court.

Fairmont. MINI, August T.-Fred
L. Cox of Granada, accused OF per-
hitting immodest dancing at pub
lie resort conducted by him at Ora
NADIA, was on trial today before JUS
tice of Peace James Lamperd OF
Rolling Green. Through his attor-
ney, William w. Allen, Mr.. Cox hled
an affidavit of prejudice against Jus
tice Nelson of this city, before whom
he was arraigned this week. Nelson
Is admittedly prejudiced against
public dances and it would probably
be easy for him to see immodesty In
this jazz stuff that those less meti-
culous would consider all right.
BY agreement of all concerned the
matter was transferred to the court
of Justice Lamperd. -
Deputy Sheriff Nettie L. Comstock
is the complaining witness against
Cox. It Is understood that there will
be many witnesses summoned for
both the prosecution and defense
and that Granada will attend the
trial in a body.
