Whittier, Calif.-When pretty Mrs.
Evelyn Thompson suffered her long,

one day recently this little town al
suddenly thrown into an uprOar. Men,
women and children divided into two
camps, one side favOring bObbed hair
and the other side battling the mod

of California Is becoming entangled
in the fight.
The admitted instigatOrs Of the
whole affair are facing prison SEN
fences. One, Mrs. Florence Mutt, Is
held in bail Of $4,000 awaiting trial in
Los Angeles on a charge Of mayhem
willfully disiguring a person.
The other, Mrs. Lucille RaulstOn, la
sought by the police all over the ma
ton, although neighbOrs declare she
told them she was moving to India
She, too, is charged with mayhem
Conviction on this charge in California

Not one woman would admit Mrs.
ThOmpsOn's charms, though. She
dressed well. She was popular at the
towns leading social events, and prob

been held.
Making Mrs. Thompson more unpOp-

she had refused month after month to
have her hair bObbed. She liked Il
o~ld-fashiOned, she said. And husbands
everywhere agreed with her judgment
agreed so well, in fact, that they
carelessly mentioned the preference In
the presence Of their wives, 1t later
was revealed.
The climax came when the hus-
bands Of Mrs. Mutt and Mrs. RaulstOn
mentioned their appreciation Of Mrs.
ThOmpsOn's pretty locks. One after
noon oOn afterward Mrs. Mutt and
Mrs. Raulston invited their friend,
Mrs. Thompson, into Mrs. Raulston's
house.
AS she stepped into a sewing room
the door was locked. On the table lay
a large pair Of shears. Mrs. RaulstOn,
police say, spoke very slowly and de-
cidedly:
"YOu have hirted with my husband
long enough. I am going to fix you 50
no man viii ever stop to look at yOu
again."
With this the shears were brought
into play. Snip, snip, they went, while

WINNIPEG, Manitoba There is
a greater acreage in readiness for the
1927 crop than was the case in 1926.
Though the preparation in Manitoba
shows a decrease of $4,000 acres,
due to less fall blowing, there is a
very substantial increase in both
Saskatchewan and Alberta. In all, it
is estimated that there are 15,S74,s62

and summer fallow, an increase over
1926 of 1,511,191.

SATURDAY, MARCH 10, 1894

well acquainted with "Old Abe'' Lin
coin and loved to tell that the mar
tyred president had spanked him
many a time. Although an ardent
Democrat, his friendship for Lincoln
knew no bounds. He went to Col
orado in 1859 and it is related that
in that state he got into difficulty
with a man who spoke derOgatory Of
Lincoln and a shooting affray was
the result. Gum was cleared, but
considering it the part of policy to
seek pastures new, he left for Mex
leo. This was in 1860.
In 1862 Gum went to California.
He then went to Florence, Idaho, in
1868, and from there to Bannack and
Alder Gulch. He came to the Gal
latin valley in the winter of 1863-64
