All went well and the prospect of my mar riage was very bright to me when September 15 arrived, and I again re minded Miss Nash of her promise to wed me. "She told me she had made no such promise and two days later married Fitzglbbon. The marriage was a great shock to me, iteming as It did after I was expecting to wed the young wom an. I therefore ask that damages be allowed me by the court as follows, since the other man has the girl and she has my presents and I have noth ir.g. ,"I gave her at various times and In various amounts coin of the realm amounting to $916. I further declare that I gave her presents valued at $276.60. Anil last but not least, my life has been blighted, my pride gTeatly wounded and I have suffered ' great mental anguish as a result of the young woman refusing to marry me. For these things I ask $5000 dam ages." YELLOW JOURNALISM DISCUSSED BY WOMEN Ebell Club Members Handle Whys and Wherefores of Sensationalism of Newspapers "If we % don't want yellow Journals, let us demand the other kind," was the statement of Mrs. J. C. McCoy, speak ing before the Ebell club yesterday on the subject, "The Effect of the Newspaper on Literary taste."

AQUATIC BATTLE IS - AIRED IN POLICE COURT EXCITING AND NOVEL DUEL ENDS WITH HONORS EVEN Judge Chambers, as Referee, Declares It a Draw, and Refuse Arbitrament of California Code, Since Parties Were Ready to Continue . Some of the unpleasant episodes which very often occur between un congenial neighbors were graphically related In Judge Chambers' court yes terday morning, when Augusta Milson told his honor how she had been nearly drowned by John Heyman, who, she says, threw a bucket of water on her. The evidence of the case disclosed that as Mr. Heyman was sitting on the top rail of his fence which separates the two. yards he "accidentally" dropped a bucket of water upon the head of his fair neighbor. It "just so happened" that as the bucket fell Mrs. Milson was sprinkling her garden. Thoroughly surprised by the unex pected downpour from the cloudless heavens, Mrs. Milson turned around and at the same time unconsciously turned her hose in the direction of the unsuspecting: Mr. Heyman. The stream struck him squarely in the face, nearly knocking him from his lofty position. Mrs. Milson was so surprised that she stood awe stricken, unable to move or speak, while the . wicked . stream laughingly played in and around the whiskers of the unhappy Heyman. Mr. Heyman stated that he had often been annoyed by certain noises that Issued from' the home of his neighbor and In the hope of restoring peace In the neighborhood he posted a larg4 glaring sign upon his fence, facing Mrs. Milson's house, which read "Give us a rest."- The court dismissed the case. lleduced Rates to Denver, Colo.
