Major. Bride Find Arrest for Bigamy Is Only Hoax Perplexed Officer’s Explanation to Wife Confirmed When Elopers Reach Reception at Fort. Tw’o solemn-faced deputy sheriffs knocked on the door of a room in a downtown hotel, and informed a startled bridegroom he was under

arrest for bigamy. Married only a few hours before in Grafton, W. Va.. the bridegroom, an officer at Fort Benjamin Harrison, and his bride, the sister of another fort officer, were taken to the Marion County jail and "held” in the lobby late yesterday. The bride w r as distraught. The bridegroom was puzzled and a little peeved. He assured his wife it was all a joke. The fact remained that Chief Jailer Charles McAllister had an affidavit signed by someone who purported to be the first wife of the Army officer. The couple w’as taken to Fort Harrison in an Army car "guarded” by two lieutenants. There, a large and gay reception was given the pair by brother officers who thought the "arrest” a pretty successful hoax. The bride is the former Miss Eva Drake, 22, sister of Capt. Thomas Drake, and the bridegroom is Maj. R. A. Jones, 38, Eleventh Infantry. They eloped Wednesday. Jailer McAllister is pretty proud of his men for having given such an air of realism to the “arrest.” He said he and Capt. Drake had planned the incident.

Bottle Chick By United Press DALLAS, Tex., Feb. 28. Henry is a Buff Orpington rooster. His home is a 5gallon glass bottle. He was put in the bottle when he was 10 days old. Now that he’s grown, he can’t get out. With those facts before them, the Dallas County Humane Society engaged in a heated controversy today with Mrs. W. E. Crews, who owns Henry, the bottle and a chicken hatchery. "There’s a law against mistreatment of dumb animals,” H. B. Goodnight of the human society said. “I’m going to see that that rooster is released from that jug.” "We don’t mean to be cruel to Henry,” Mrs. Crews replied. "It was merely our way to show the public our ability to raise fowls in an incubator.”

VETERAN TELLS SHERMANSTDRY Boonville Man, 86, Says General Was Most Resourceful. By United Press BOONVILLE. Ind., Feb. 28.—William T. Sherman was the most resourceful of Civil War leaders, according to William I. Kelley, 86, who joined the Union Army a few weeks before he was 15. Recalling some of his Civil War experiences, Mr. Kelley cited two instances of the famous general’s resourcefulness. “General Sherman, after days of the siege in the Atlanta campaign, almost had become discouraged because of the great loss of men, but decided upon one last effort,” he recalled. “The armjes were only a few hun-

Bronchial Coughs Need Creomulsion

A cough, chest cold or bronchial irritation today may lead to serious trouble tomorrow. You can relieve them now with Creomulsion, an emulsified Creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is a medical discovery that aids nature to soothe and heal the infected membranes and to relieve the irritation and inflammation as the germ-laden phlegm is loosened and expelled. Medical authorities have for many years recognized the wonderful effects of Beechwood Creosote for treating coughs, chest’colds and bronchial irritations. A chemist worked out a special process of blending Creosote with other ingredients so that now in Creomulsion you get a real dose of Beechwood Creosote which is palatable

dred feet apart, and Gen. Sherman ordered us at 9 one night to set up loud shouting and noise making. “After a half hour of this clatter, the Confederate sentries, curious, shouted across to learn why we were rejoicing. We told them that 40,000 reinforcements were coming in the following day. “The ruse worked and Gen. John B. Wood, in command of the Confederates, Atlanta defense, ordered evacuation of the city and destruction of all arms and ammunition that could not be moved readily. “Gen. Sherman and his army captured the city without firing a shot,” according to Mr, Kelley. “At Pulaski, Tenn.,” he reminisced, “Gen. Sherman caused a cannon with a cracked barrel to be pointed at a boat loaded with Confederates moving down Peachtree Creek with the result they swung into the bank and surrendered, believing themselves in peril.” Relief Corps to Meet Maj. Robert Anderson Post No. 44, Woman’s Relief Corps, is to meet at 1:30 Tuesday afternoon at Fort Friendly, 512 N. Illinois-st.

and can even be taken freauentlv and continuously by adults and children. Thousands of doctors now use Creomulsion in their own families and practice, and druggists rank Creomulsion top because in this genuine, original product you can get a real dose of Creosote so emulsified that it goes to the very seat of the trouble to help loosen and expel germ-laden phlegm. Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory in the treatment of coughs, chest colds and bronchial troubles, especially those that start with a common cold and hang 6n and on. Get a bottle of Creomulsion right now from vour druggist, use it all up as directed and if you fail to get satisfactory relief, he is authorized to refund every cent of your money.
