Vows to Remain in Jail Rest of Life Rather Than Pay Alimony to Ex-Wife

Serves Since July, 1925, and Shows No Signs of Weakening. WILLOWS, Cal., Jan. 9.—Samuel W. Reid is a mild-appearing young man, but he js very stubborn. Which is why he has been in jail here ever since July 27, 1925. In addition, Reid probably will continue to stay in jail for some time to come. Yet he could, at any time, get out very easily. If he would agree to pay alimony to his wife who divorced him more than two years ago he would be given his freedom at once. He won’t. He vows he will stay in jail for the rest of his life rather than pay his wife one cent. The other side shows no signs of weakening. Consequently, it begins to look as if Reid's stubbornness will get a very long endurance test. Refuses to Pay Reid is an intelligent-appearing, quiet young ex-soldier, who served under fire with the 91st Division in France and who is not at all the kind of man you expect to find in a Jail. His troubles began when Mrs. Reid sued for, and won, a divorce. The court awarded her custody of their child, a girl, gave her S2O a month alimony and directed Reid to pay an additional S2O a month for the support of the child. Reid refused, pointblank, to pay one red cent. He declared that while he was willing and anxious to pay for the support of his daughter, his ex-wife was not a fit person to take care of her. So long as Mrs. Reid kept the girl, he said, he would pay nothing; but if Mrs. Reid would give the girl up he would pay gladly. / Found in Contempt Refusing to pay, he was found in contempt of court and ordered to jail until he paid. County authorities were perplexed. Most alimony prisoners soften after a short confinement and agree to pay anything rather than be held prisoners. But not Reid. He calmly announced that nothing on earth could make him pay. The county authorities felt that Reid must be unsound mentally.

Reid, though very stubborn, was perfectly sane. Meanwhile, the former Mrs. Reid remarried, taking as her husband the man to whom she had been married before she married Reid. This increased Reid’s determination not to pay; also it caused him to appeal to Governor C. C. Young for a pardon. Governor Young refused to review his case, however, holding that it was a matter strictly between Reid and the Glenn County Superior Court. Grand Jury Investigates Then Reid asked the court to review the alimony order. The court held, however, that this could not be done until Reid had first purged himself of contempt; and the only way he could do that was by paying up—which he would not do. So the status quo remained undisturbed. Next the county grand jury decided to look into Reid’s charge that his ex-wife should not have custody of the child. It investigated her and her home and reported that she was an eminently satisfactory person to take care of a MOTION PICTURES ® didn't IMb 111 took for £9)l M wandal arpy!

Reid has a comfortable bed, a bureau, a number of pictures on the walls and a set of his own books. He eats his meals with the rest of the prisoners, mingles with them occasionally in the “bull pen” and, on the whole, seems not to mind greatly being a prisoner. TRIM SCHOOL FUNDS Board Meets to Revise Budget for Year. School board members met today with Albert F.

SEEK INCREASE OF PERIOD FOR BONUSREQUEST Many Bills Before Congress to Reopen Time Limit on Filing. BY ROBERT TALLEY WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—More measures designed to extend increased aid to veterans of the World War were before Congress today. Provision for reviving the time limit for the filing of adjusted com-' pensation claims which expired Jan. 1 and extending this period for two years more is contained in the bills of a half dozen members. The committee on ways and means will consider them early next week. They have been introduced by both Republicans and Democrats and a favorable report is expected. Only 3.480,000 of the 3,750,000 veterans entitled to the bonus had filed their claims when the twoyear limit allowed by law expired at midnight Monday. Since that time, several thousand belated applications have been received. “We should allow these men more time,” said Representative A. L. Bulwinkle (Dem.), North Carolina, author of one of the bills. “The Government should not be arbitrary.” A number of other bills for broadening the compensation and disability laws with more liberal interpretations will also be taken up by the committee. Fully 25,000 claims, it is said, have been held up by culling by the Comptroller General. These include a measure by Representative Jed Johnson (Dem.), Oklahoma, to give sisters and brothers the same beneficiary status as widows, children and parents where the latter cannot be found. There is also an effort to recognize the common law which declares a man legally dead after he has been missing for seven years. Paralleling the bill introduced in the Senate by Senator Ashurst (Dem.), Arizona, Representative

COLDS THAT DEVELOP INTO PNEUMONIA Persistent coughs and colds lead to serious trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion, and emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is anew medical discovery with two-fold action: it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and inhibits germ growth. Os all known drugs, creosote is recognized by high medical authorities as one of the greatest healing agencies for persistent coughs and colds and other forms of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosote, other healing elements which soothe and heal the infected membranes and stop the irritation and Inflammation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and checks the growth of the germs. Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory in the treatment of persistent coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and other forms of respiratory diseases, and is excellent for building up the system after co;ds or flu. Money refunded if any cough or cold is not relieved after taking according to directions. Ask your druggist.—Advertisement.

AWFULLY WEAK, CRAMPING PAINS Texas Lady Who Suffered Dreadfully Tells How She Improved In Every Way After Taking Cardui. “When I was fourteen years old, I was in bad health,” says Mrs. L L. Benthal, 2325 Twelfth Street, Port Arthur, Texas. “At intervals, I suffered dreadfully with my back. I had bad cramping pains, and every so often I would have to go to bed. "I was not at all strong, so mother thought that Cardui would be good for me. She started me to taking it as a tonic, and I found it was the very thing that I needed. “I grew much stronger, and felt better in every way. My appetite picked up and the backache stopped. “After I was married, several years later, my health got bad again. I was awfully weak and run-down, and suffered from cramping spells again. “I sent for Cardui and began to take it again, and found it was a great help. I improved in every way. The backache quit, and I was soon in good health.” “The very thing I needed”—thousands have found that out, after taking Cardui. Ask some of your neighobrs. Probably they, or their mothers, have been helped by taking Cardui. jgCARMI ICardoseptlc, for hygienic reasons, I should be used by women as a I mild, harmless detergent; 50 cts. |
