JINX PURSUES ITALIAN, WILL RETURN 10 U. §. SHAWNEB, Panno, who returned to Italy beca of misfortunes experienced in Wyo. ming—his wife died here and @ short time later his house was struck by lightning and consumcd by the re- sulting fire—has decided that. he did not change his luck by returning to his native land. He writes that a “crow-balt” horse costs $300, a scrub cow $250, and one egg 20 cents #nd that, therefore, hy {s preparing were first filed in 1916 and he said no effort at service on him was made un- til last week. “Now that I have become a United States senator,” Mr. Cameron said in his statement, ‘those behind this ridi-, culous suit have evidently decided to attack me in the hope of injuring me by giving widespread publicity to the absurd charges made by them. I am prepared to fight this suit with both fists, fearlessly and in the open.’ ‘The statement said Senator Cameron had met Mrs, McFarlin once in the observation car of a train betwem Chicago and San Francisco in 1912 be- fore her marriage, had met her twice since and met her busband once NEW YORK, March 28.—The, formal complaint against Senator Cameron, filed in the supreme court here by Ed- ward T. McFarlin, contafs only a brief outline of the suit. ‘It merely alleges that the senator éxerted “un- due influence” over Mrs, Margaret Mc- Farlin in 1916, and thar he “harbored and detained \:er."" Little is snown hese of the McFar- lins. According to tae complaint, they were married in 1913 and lived in Stoneham, Mass. until 1916. Woman Who Had To Keep Hubby Granted Decree (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, March 28.—Mrs. Helen 1%. Cobb, $12,000 a year buyer for a department store, was granted a di- vorce here. She said her hus- band, Norvellp H. Cobb, a \brokér, | charged her $200 a month with an annual bonus of $1,000 for living with him. est ae ae Plestina Trying To Get Out. of Zbyszko Match Joe Marsh, manager of \Marin Plestina, is now said to be hard at work trying to draw the $1,000 he is sald to have put up for a match with Stan Zbyszko, says the sport- ing editor of the Buffalo (N. Y.) Evening News. He backed clear down .to. the .bottom of the gully when Jack Herman showed up in the Flower City and wanted to cinch a match, the writer con- tinues. Herman, av tas been stated wanted a side bet of $10,000, Joe to get $21,000 should Plestina win and $1,000 if should lose, Here is the way ti Rochester Herald man views the attempted negotia- tions: “Joe says he would not please the Jew, Herman, by accepting any such offer. Yes, Herman is a Jew and an honest Jew, a good square business Jew, a Jew who can get credit at the bank, a Jew respect- ed by business men. Perhaps Joe cannot find $10,000 to wager, we doubt if he could find any fish to furnish that amount of kale, yet it is Joe's own offer, his own fu- neral.” ee An imposing monument js soon to mark the grave of Mrs. Elizabeth Ar- nold, mother of Edgar Allen Poe, who is buried in St..John’s churchyard, in Richmond, Va.

FOUND DEAD, SPORTMEN AROUSED RAWLINS, Wyo., March 28.—The indignation of sportsmen here has been aroused by several reports re- cently of the discovery of wounded or dead antelope in the hills south of the city where, under the protection of a legal closed season, these game ani- mals have been muitipiying for sev- eral years. The animals whose car- casses were found apparently had been able to get away after receiving mortal wounds and had succumbed after distancing their pursuers. The situation has been called to the atten- tion of the state game department, ac- companied by information pointing to the identity of the persons responsible for the violations of the closed season law. They are, it is charged, resi- dents of Rawlins who hunt from au- tomobiles. THERMOPOLIS MAN WHO EXPEGTED FORTUNE 15 “DUPE? IN BIG-SWINDLE THERMOPOLIS, Wyo., March 28. —Pouf! Just like that vanishes the dream of L. ©. Lesher, Thermopolis garbage hauler, of a fortune of $2,- ,000,000° which he was informed a few days ago had been bequeathed him by the will of a distant Phila delphia relative, and with a portion of which. he had announced he would build a home for indigent common laborers. It developed to- day that Lesher is merely one of a great number of persons selected as dupes for the “Baker estate” fraud, a swindle as widespread as the fa- mous “Spanish” fraud of a few, years ago, lami Salat Synodical <ollege, Fulton, Mo., an institution of higher learning for women of the Southern Presbyterian church has long been noted the number of its graduates who enter the foreign mission field or become the wives of ministers. A recent survey of the college graduatex however, shows that many have attained suc- «ess in other lines of endeavor. Four have become bankers, one is in the grocery business, one is in politics, one is secretary of a cometery asso- ciation, one is a designer and interior decorator, one a city editor of a daily newspaper, and one the manager of a large jewelry store.
