vy, VOLUME 3. NUMBER 155. BONESETTER ‘GOES TO PRISON Pleads Guilty To Blgamy and Grand Larceny and is Vile i in Court. ’ Aitkin, Minn,, Oct. 21.—Dr. W. C.j Arons, known as a “bonesetter,” plead- ed guilty in the district court to two indictments, one for bigamy and the other for grand larceny in the second degree. The bigamy consisted of his marry- ing Miss Mary McMurdy of this vil- lage while he had a legal wife and the grand larceny consisted of his having drawn @ check for $125 on a bank in San Francisco where he had no funds, getting Mrs. McMurdy, mother of his ! last bride, to endorse the check so he could draw the money at a local bank. The bonesetter laid all his troubles to wife No. 1 and made uncompli- mentary allusions to her and her mother in his plea for mercy. Judge Spooner could see mo exten- { vating circumstances and sentenced | ‘the prisoner to five years at Stillwater } for bigamy and one year for grand Jarceny. HEAVIEST OF THE SEASON.

NO DUTY ON WOOD PULP. Decision Rendered by United States District Court. Burlington, Vt., Oct. 21.—A decision sustaining the finding of the board of : general appraisers of New York that there should be no duty on “rossed” pulpwpod brought into this country from Canada has been handed down by Judge Wheeler of the United States district court. “Rossed” wood is that which bas been partially prepared for grindiug. The decision was made in connection with a test case brought about by a suit instituted by the Unit- ed States against C. W. Pierce, who represented ome of the largest pulp imperting corporatians In the United States. The fact that the appraisers are upheld in Judge Wheeler's decision means that full restoration waust be! made not orly to Mr. Pierce for duty pwid but also to all other importers of wood pulp who have been agsessed for this commedity since the suit was .in- stituted. The amount of mcney in- volved is large, but the figures canpot be learned. SHOULD BE TFREE ©OF DUTY. Nashvitle Reselution Regarding 'Miss Rocsevelt’s Presemts..
