Family Troubles
Are Complicated

Eail ~ i'll February the att,ntia II
of the sheriff S office and the dis
trict attorneys office was called to
the marital troubles OF Pete Fon.
counter of Santa Ana and his wife.
An effort was made to clcar up the
trouble but Saturday things broke
out anew and today officials are
again trying to straighten out the
tangle.
The first information offered was
to the effect that Mrs. Foncounier
had left her husband and was Iiv-
ing with her son and another man
near Holtville. Members of the dis
trict attorneys office visited the
place and brought back Cemiel Van
derlinder and Charley Foncounier,
charged with manufacture and pos
session of Intoxicating liquors.
The son, aged 16, at that time
took the blame foI the manufac
ture and possession of the liquor.
Due to his youth the district attor-
ney's office withdrew charges
against both the man and boy. Mrs.
Foncounicr is said at the time to
have promised to go back to Orange
county taking her son with her.
Saturday the husband again visit
ed Hotvillc and this time the wife
came to the sheriff s office. Fon-
counter was placed under arrest as
result and later deputies brought
the son to the county Jail. No com
plant was lodged against the hus-
band and he was released yesterday
afternoon. The son is still being
held and may as result be forced
to face imprisonment if officials
bring complaint against him on
the LIQUOR charge.

Insure Fish Supply

ancient custom intended to insure a
bumper yield of fish has just been
enacted by the Ostiak. tribes inhabit-

The fish were first herded into a
bay of the river and a barrier con-
Structed to prevent their escaping.
Tables laden with bread, butter, pam
cakes and vodka were then placed
near the shores.
A spotted COW is an important fea-

words by a "shaman" or priest, the
crowd attacked the COW, killed it and

peacemeal, into the river. Guns were
fired and the food and liquor were
likewise heaved into the stream.

POL AND GIVES FARM
TO HUMBLE PEASANT
q WHO DEFIED GERMANY

BYDGOSzCz, Poland. - Micha ell
Drzymala, a Polish peasant, whom
the Germans could not force to
abandon his plot of land, is to be
rewarded by the Polish government
with handsome farm
Those who understand the tena-
cious attachment of the Polish peas
ant to his bit of property will know
that no gift could be more welcome,
or could better mean the consumma
ton of peasants life ambition.
During the years preceding the
World war the Germans had devel-
oped an energetic colonization Of
Polish provinces, using articles, pros
ecutions, even acts of terror to force
the Polish peaSantry to abandon the
native land. The tenacity and at
tachment of the Polish peasants to
their patrimony thWarted the Ger
mans plans to a great extent.
1t was some 80 years ago that
Michael Drzymala- whose name is
pronounced -inherited a plot
of land from his father and asked
permission Of the local authorities to
build house. It was refused The
11uOSldI1S GIIOuS1lG CLl6lT T6luSdl WOukQ
cause him to sell his land to Ger
man. But Drzymala built a little
house ON wheels and established him
self and family in it. He stated to
the protesting Prussiaif authorities
that the law did not force land own
erS to request permission to introduce
car on their farms
The PrusSianS confiscated little
stove in the car and fined Drzymala
often, but he survived the injustices
and soon became known throughout
the Polish provinces for his tenacity
and patriotism. The picture of the
famous little house on wheels was
circulated everywhere among the
Poles.
The war eclipsed the story of
Drzynala. Then came the joy over
the establishment of Poland's in
dependence. Several weeks ago the
Polish novelist, Joseph Weysenhoff,
reminded the nation of the heroiSm
of Drzymala, calling attention to the
fact that Drzymala during the war
had lost three out of his five sons,
and pointing out that he was living
in want. Immediately subscriptions
were started to buy beautiful farm
for the peasant. The government will
participate by offering free plot of
land and the people will furnish the
house, barns, stables and livestock.

Police Inspector William T. Griffin
is the instructor and members of the

for graduation one must master APP
proximately 500 words in the ver-

A recitation period goes something
like this:
well, boys" the inspector asks,
"how would safe burglar, arrested

New York, afterwards escaping from

Il knocks off pete in the big

Pete is safe, the "big circus is

THIEF PAYS FOR LOOT
In WORTHLESS MONEY

BERLIN R9-To get rid of his in
flation currency which is now value
less, Berlin man has hit on an odd
idea.
Dressed as an artisan and carrying
bag of tools, he calls upon house
holders as an inspector of the heat

tunity to steal whatever he can lay
hands on. Then he sends the victim
polite letter, enclosing the value of
the stolen articles in obsolete bank
notes, stating that he is very sorry,
he is no common thief, but since he
cannot change his banknotess by any
other method, this seems the only
way to get rid Of them. z,.. a.r
