Secondly, he was given his choice this morning of standing trial on a charge of violat ing the park ordinance or of leaving town.

The instance upon which the charge was based occurred at the ten nis courts. Dorrier dropped Into con versation with three younr ladles of Ashland and introduced himself as the park superintendent who was to take charge today. Technically he violated the ordinance, but he dis claims any wrong Intention in speak ing to the girls. The young ladles state that nothing that he said could have been taken as offensive, and were rather amused at his effusive manner.
