CASESOILED OUTOFCOUBT. Sonin iittlo rjtir happened hero last Friday when a deputy sheriff from Miami county, Troy being the coun­ ty seat, appeared hero with papers for the arrest of Mr. Vince Bake- stravr, of Ban Antonio, Texas, who had been the guoot oi relatives here, this being his former home. . Tho arrest was ona charge of con­ tempt of court growing out of a di­ vorce suit of several years standing. Mr. Eakestraw was married some years ago to a Miss Jennie Moore but their domestic life was such that both agreed to separate and Mr. 'Eakestraw turned over property valued at $5,000or $6,000 as her share which in reality was all he owned, There were three sons and one daughter and, by agreement he was to pay a certain amount for their support which was done. Mr. Kaicesfcraw then started life anew and located In several cities before finally locating in Sail Anto­ nio, where he has acquired quite a fortune in the sale of 28,000 acres of land, During his absence the wife brought action for legal separation ■and Mr. Eakestraw allowed the mat­ ter go by default, hot even having a legal representative when the suit was heard. The wife then secured a-judement of $1,000. His eldest son, Harry, resides in Dayton and it was by his pleading that the-parent returned on a visit the boy’ s mother assuring him that there would be no trouble should the ■ father return, Mrs, Eakestraw lias married since securing the divorce.. During tho time Mr. Eakestraw haB provided for his children and has given them a good education and started them well in the world, , the daughter being married. Mr. Eakestraw was placed under a $2,000 bond, signed by ’ bis half brother, Mr. Alien Haines, and the case was to come up last Monday in Troy, but it was settled out of court by the payment of a nominal sunrto secure thq proper court entry and clear up the judgment. His many friends are pleased to kutAV that the matter has been settled in fyll and. that the merits of tho case •cast no reflection upon liim* “STELMO” NEXTATTRACTION.

Tho following letter was received from Miss Verna Bird, to late for publication last week. It was writ­ ten from tho Charlton Hotel, Edin­ burgh, and gives an interesting ac­ count of Baris, France, "After waiting three long and anxious clays, wo arrived in Paris, the city of my dreams; the city that I have longed to visit. So excited were wo that wo qould scarcely wait until our cabs arrived at Pahus d' Orsay, the 'Hotel where wo were :so comfortable for three days. It was a very difficult matter to crowd five days sight-seeing which wo bad expected into three short days; but we were so much impressed by the beautiful and historical things we did see, that our conductor found it difficult to persuade us that other cities and . countries might have things of interest also, ■ } First of all, Paris is a most fascinating city. To'lovers of art, lovers of History, lovers of pleasure, atul last but not least, to lovers of fashion this is no' doubt tile home of everything. During our drives we were much impressed by the mag­ nificent palaces, the fine boulevards with their stately trees and the symmetrical squares with their mon­ uments,—hut beyond a doubt the square which impressed us most was Place De La Concorde, This magnificent area, is one of the finest public squares in 'the world and is bounded on two sides by a beautiful garden, a boulevard, and the river. Its two fountains throw water to the height of 30 foot, Varioug monuments surround the square, the most interesting of which represents Strassbourg. It will be easily recognized from tho fact of its being perpetually covered by wreaths and immortelles to re­ mind the citizens of the loss of one of tile provinces to Germany. The views from tiiisplase to'the Trium­ phal Arch, the Tulleries, the Made­ line and tho Seine are indeed beau-, tiful. One of the finest churches of Paris we found well, worth visiting was The Church of La Madeline, It is builtin the form of a Greek temple, with a colonnade of 62 Corinthian pillars, Collbssal statues of saints adorn tho niches. Tho interior is exceedingly handsome, tho rich rparbles 'o f .various colors and the rows of Corinthian pillars add much to its splendor. One peculiar fea­ ture is that no window's are found in tho church, it being lighted from above. To all of us the most impressive sight, m Paris is the Tomb of Napoleon, From the floor of the church we looked down into the open crypt, twenty feet deep and thirty-six feet in diameter; and here exactly beneath the dome (which is 810 feet higbj in a sarcoph­ agus ■ of red Finland granite, the gift ,ol the Emporer Nicholas of Eusala, are iho remains of tim great Napoleon, Surrounding the gallery are twelve colossal figures, repre­ senting Napoleon’ s chief victories; whllo beyond those aro 61 flags,— trophies of war. The mosaic, pave­ ment represents a lanrel wreath. Tn connection with Paris must be mentioned our little trip to Versail­ les, where three very interesting places are to be seeiir-tho Grand Palais and the Grand and Petit Tn- anons. The Grand Palais; the most inter­ esting of all was formerly tho hunt­ ing chateau of Louis XIl'I but* was afterwards considerably enlarged by Louis X IV fabulous sums of uAney being spent upon it and then it be­ came tho court residence. It Is now famous as one of the grandest pic­ ture gallaties of its kind in existence tho battle pictures being especially celebrated. one of the finest features of the Pal­ ace, tho Gallery of Battles, nearly 400 feet long, is dedicated to tho battle history of France. The Grand Trianon is a large building, built in lG8f). The most interesting feature of tills to Engisli people 19 the finite of rooms prepared by King Louis' Phillipe for the re­ ception of Queen Victory In 1816. The bid hangings aro of richest Lyons silks. The late queen how ever did not have the opportunity of using these apartments, despite the extravagant preparations. Tho Petit Trianon, a small clia teu belonged first to Madatno I)u Bary and was afterwards givoen by Louis XV I to Marie Antoinette; most of Its rooms are still shown with the furniture of the period, while nearly every piece bears the monogram of this unfortunate Queen. Tho parks, garden, and the 18 fountains are beautiful. The foun­ tains however only play during the summer months arid then only on the first Sunday of each month at a cost of $2000 for playing one hour. The grounds cover SHOO acres and from this you can readily see the vainness and unlimited luxury in which royalty lived. CEMENT! CEMENT !-A car of fresh Universal cement has just amvodf Tm’box Eumboi' Co, Mayor’s Face Stopped Blow. A little affair, typical of how Uie rahhie about town takes the present administration, happened Tuesday evening when "Biting Bill’’ Zim­ merman, eolered, landed a blow on Mayor Andrew’ s face when the latter attempted to place him under arrest, The trouble arose over Zimmer­ man being rough with Ids sister, who was on the street and had re­ fused to, go home. Zimmerman claims that the girl is only* fourteen years old and-has been in bad com­ pany and it was necessary to make her keep off the street. He Is said to have slapped’ the girl causing her to Bcroam as if she had suffered bodily injury. Others say he knocked her down. Mayor Andrew was near and saw pait of tho trouble and with the assistance of Oscar ‘Satterfield attempted to place the fellow under arrest. He is stout and recognized as an extra good fighter and soon m ade away With Satterfield. Tho Mayor took a hand and Zimmerman landed a blow m his faoo that caused him to spin around like a ten cent top and fall to the ground, hut the latter is denied. Just as Zimmerman started on a run Constable John Boss happened along and Mayor Andrew ask kiim to place the fellow under *arrest. He was captured by Boss near the U. P. church and was taken to tho Mayor’s office with out any trou­ ble; Papers were made out against Zimmerman for resisting an officer and Mayor Andrew assessed a fine and-costs of $80.p) and would have sent him to the workhouse but the fine was secured by Louis Smith and an aged colored man nabied Polly, who lives, on the MeEEPby farm; owned by Andrew Bros. Zimmerman has been before the authorities in this county on sev­ eral occasions. He gained his nickname by biting a piece out of a fellows lip while m a fight. I 1 News About rJL Death Of Mr. J. R.
