Kearney, according to Scott, was

in 1911. 110 and one other member
of the gang succeeded in escaping
from the Marysville Jail.
No trace of either was secured un-

Scott. Murphy had been accidentally

Ihe letter fell into the hands of Scott,

Scott engaged a room at the St.

Wichita, Kansas.—Following out In-
formation that several of the jointlsts
here had stocked up for the Fourth
with beer, tile police laided a number
of places and confiscated 1100 bottles
of beer and 250 bottles of whisky.
A few men found in the places were

tures were encountered In "plants."

wall" was built In a frame and hung
on hinges. Two hundred "cold ones'
were found here.
Wichita experienced a dry Fourth

St. Joseph, Missouri.—Nearly 40
years after she had last seen her hus-
band in western Kansas, Mrs. Mary
Overley, or Clark as she has been
known a quarter of a century has
found him living at Blgelow, Mo., mar-
ried again and with a family by his
segond wife.
Mrs. Clark, under the name of Over- i
ley, was recently granted a divorce by |
Judge Amick, from Henry C. Overley, j
who is a railroad man at liigelow. j
Now she wants the divorce annulled, |
on the grounds that she testified false- j
ly In the hearing.
According to Mrs Overley-Clark s
story Overley left her In western Kan-
sas in 1K72 to come to Missouri, and j
when she did not hear from him she
made an investigation and reached the
conclusion that ho had been murdered
by the notorious Bender family in |
Franklin county, Kansas. Later she
removed to Denver.
Mrs Overley-Clark recently learned
that her first husband was living at
liigelow, anil she opened a corre-
spondence with him and he invited her
to come to liigelow and make her
home with his family, representing
that she was his sister. Overley Bent
her money to make the trip but life
there didn't suit the first Mrs. Over-
j ley, now (15 years old, and she told
the second Mrs. Overley and her chil-
dren the truth.
Wife No. 1 says she was told by
Overley that if Bhe would sue for
a divorce Overley would pay all ex-
penses and would give her money
\ enough to enable her to return to
Denver and keep her comfortably.
Now Mrs. Overley-Clark haB applied
to the court to have the decree set

difference: Seventy-five per cent of

Singing and the Lungs.
It is well known that singing, like
whistling, is a fine exercise for th#
lungs, and some doctors advise those
who fear consumption to go in for
singing for this reason.
At the same time they, of course,
do not advance the claim that singinR
alone will save anyone from or cure
consumption. Acquire the habit of
taking the big deep breath, which is a
primary requisite of any kind of sing-
bad or good, and the physical
joy derived from it will never allow
you to relapse Into lazy breathing.
