Hodges and Dawson : were con

of "selling liquor while armed."
The trials grew out of the raid
on "The Hut," a candy store estab

The Hodges and Dawsona were ar

FOR FAILURE TO
PAY UP ALIMONY
Don Hall, Lunch Counter
Owner, Arrested by She
riff From Yreka
TAKEN LAST NIGHT
Matrimonial Troubles Cul
minate With Felony
Charge In Jail
Don Hall, whose ' true
name is reported to be Am-
l : r Li. it i
br8l r arren Hall, operator
Of a small lunch Stand Of!
North Sixth street, was ar
rested here last night by
Sheriff Calkins of Siskiyou
county and taken to Yreka
where he faces a charge of
failing to provide for his
three minor daughters.'; '
The charge against tho
lunch counter man grows
out of matrimonial troubles
which culminated in the
superior court of Siskiyou
county Aug. 23, last year,
when his wife, Ruth P. Hall,
was given a divorce and the
custody of the three child
ren. She also was awarded
.alimony in the sum of $90
a month for the first year
and $100 per month there
after. The ' divorce decree
and alimony were awarded
by Superior Judge Luttrell.
Back in Alimony '
According to, infirtio!ii ,
brought here by Sheriff Cal-'
kins, Hall i several months
in arears in the payment of
his alimony. He is also re
ported to have written his
ex-wife stating he had no in
tention of paying further
alimony. .
Following his arrest here
last night by Sheriff Calkins
and Fred ; Morley, special
state agent, 'Hall consented
to return to Yreka without
requisition, papers and left
immediately in the custody
