Runs Away and Wrorks on Railroad
Dining Cars Wearies of Home.
Unhappy home relations led Mul
wood Kemmaster, a 17-year-old San
Francisco maiden, to seek employ
ment on dining curs, dressed as a
boy. A few days ago the runaway
was arrested In Omaha on a charge of
vagrancy. The police Judge, after she
had admitted his guess was correct,
told her to assume her own attire and
return to her home.
Melwood told the Judge she had
planned for months to escape from
conditions at her home, which she
said were Irksome. She would have
been willing, she said, to elope if the
right young man had come along and
offered himself. Alone, however, she
saw no chance to roam until she hit
on the' plan of wearing trousers. She
applied for a position on a dining car
and was accepted, and it was several
months before her sex was discovered.
Then she was dropped from the pay
roll and from the train.
Discouraged and penitent, the girl
broke down and told the Judge that
she was willing to go back home.

Greatly Irritated and Annoyed.
Claiming that Jerry Stone has
wrongfully damaged his reputation as

started a damage suit In the circuit

Jerry Stone is characterized as a
"man much believed and relied upon
by people of the county as a truth
giver and as a proector of the good
morals of the community a man of
wealth and of influence which Is felt
beyond this state."
The particular offense charged
against him Is that on December 1,
1907, while Watts was serving as
principal of the Athena schools, he.
Stone, caused to be published and
circulated a slanderous, scandalous
and libelous story concerning the
plaintiff. In effect this story was
that Watts had disregarded the in

( ground he is damaged to the exetent
of $1600. He then asks for the sum
j of $3000 In addition because, he al-
leges that the defendant acted
