HOLLY HIIO WIFE LEGALLY WEDDED But He Will Be Prosecuted on the Charge of Deserting Family. WOMAN TELLS ODD STORY
HER HUSBAND, AFTER BIRTH OF
FIRST CHILD, TOLD HER MAR
RIAGE WAS ILLEGAL AND SHE BELIEVED HIM.
At Local Theaters
It Is announced today that Walter Holly, a former local man and a railroad employe, was legally married to Rosa M. Manford, also a former resident of this city, who, twelve years ago left Richmond with Holly to make their home in Indianapolis. It was announced in the Palladium yesterday that Mrs. Holly, who was under the impression that she was not legally married, filed a charge of child desertion against the man. Further particulars in the case are set forth in an article appearing in the Indianapolis Star, this morninig, which is as follows: , Thought It Was Legal. After living as Walter Holly's wife for twelve years and raising a family of three children, Rosa M. Manford. a former Richmond (Ind.) girl has told the police a story of misplaced love and trust and has caused Holly's arrest. Twelve years ago, according to the woman's story to the police, she lived with her people in Richmond, Ind. Holly was a railroad man there and he proposfd. she says, to bring her to Indianapolis and marry her. She consented and they slipped quietly away one night and came to this city. The following day a ceremony, supposed by the girl to be a legal marriage, was conducted in the county clerk's office.
The newly "married" couple rented a
house and the young wife, then 17 years old, lived happily for a year.
After the birth of her first child, a lit
tle boy, she says her "husband" came to her and laughingly informed her that they were not married. Says She Pleaded With Him.
She pleaded with Holly to marry
her, but he refused, she asserts, and In the course of time another child, a girl, was born. In 1902 she prevailed upon him to get a marriage license, she says. They have it yet, as he refused, she says, to use it. The woman
said nothing to people outside of her
home concerning her affairs, but tried it is alleged, to get Holly to marry
her. This, it is asserted, he would not do, and Jan. 14 of this year he is said to have deserted her. She says he told her that he was leaving, never to return. A dayr two ago he returned and wanted to marry the woman he had lived with twelve years, but she had changed her mind. She notified the police and Holly was arrested by Humane Officer Merrill and charged with deserting and neglecting his children. Marriage Held Legal. Officer Merrill said yesterday that the man could not be held on the charge placed against him by Rosa Manford because, under the common law, their marriage Is legal. Holly will answer the charge of desertion and neglect before Judge Stubbs in Juvenile Court at 9 o'clock this morning. The Holly family, as they were known to their neighbors, lived at 3335 Roosevelt avenue for several years. The three children are Arlo, 9 years old; Lillian, 6 years old, and Mary, 2 years old.

been the rule since the first night of its opening this season, and the public is flocking to see it in such numbers that it will undoubtedly repeat its New York, Boston and Chicago success in this city. Mt. Forbes, the author, has given a humorous exposition of the characteristics of the modern drummer. It is a story true to life and be.tween the hundreds of laughs that this play contains, are bits' of pathos to add variety to a most interesting performance. Bob Blake, the jolly, philosophical "knight of the road" who impetuously prejudices his position by coming to the rescue of a young girl who is about to lose her property, is the sort of a character that the public loves and admires and his hearty laugh and uniform good nature have created for him a warm circle of friends wherever he has ap
peared.
At the Murray.
Miss Amy Butler and quartette, the
headliner at the Murray this week, comes direct from the Orpheum circuit and Mr. Murray has been fortunate enough to secyre their services as he is always desirous of securing the best for the patrons of Richmond's popular playhouse. This is the best talent that can be obtained in vaudeville, as evidenced by the theaters in which Miss Butler has appeared, only recently performing in the Majestic and the Haymarket in Chicago and last week at the Grand in Indianapolis. Witness her performance and one is convinced of her exceptional abilities. Reif, Clayton and Feif in smart singing and
TAKES TWO NEW PARTNERS
Fred C. Lahrman, who was made defendant in a receivership action by his former partner in the shoe business, J. Will Cunningham, has effected an arrangement with Mr. Cunningham, whereby Mr. Lahrman obtains possession of the store. D. II. audv Floyd Teeple both competent shoe men of Geneva, Ind., will be associated with Mr.. Lahrman and the firm will be known as Lahrman and Teeple. The receivership action was withdrawn by Mr. Cunningham yesterday afternoon. Inasmuch as the firm was solvent, there was a doubt in many minds as to the success of the receivership action, since it was contested by one of the firm members. The new firm will continue in operation at the present stand, 718 Main street. A new stock of goods will be purchased and installed as soon as a Bale of stock on hand, at reduced prices, is held. Improvements will also be made in the room. .
Bread made of cotton seed flour was exhibited on the board of trade recently by Charles Stearn. It is the first of its kind ever shown here and was a decided novelty. The braid, although ten days old, was sweet and Sice, and resembled brown bread, being; one of the best imitations of Boston brown bread that has been seen. The cotton seed flour was ground and the bread baked at Ennis, Texas. The flour can be had at $30 a ton or 14 cents a pound. People in Texas are booming itas a substitute for wheat flour.

Indianapolis, March 1. "One of the worst evils connected with the little stores near the school buildings of the city is the temptation offered to the small children to cultivate dishonesty in order to have money to patronize the stores at recess period or the noon hour. "Several cases where children have taken money from the mother's purse or stolen street car tickets and sold them in order to, obtain pennies to buy candy have been reported to the office and the means adopted by many of the children in order to have a penny to spend is doing a great injury to the children and cultivating the kind of character out of which criminals are made." This is the way President Loomis of the Children's Aid Society sums up the evils attached to the growing encroachment of the little shops in the neighborhood of the schoolhouses who depend on the pennies of the children for support and who are charged with selling poisonous candies and cigarettes and tobacco to children. One keeper on East Tenth street investigated Friday afternoon pleaded
ignorance of the law, and said that he never sold to minors himself, but that his son sold tobacco on Saturday when he worked in the store. He promised to quit selling to the boys. Mrs. Helen Pape, 514 E. Ray street, became indignant when approached by Miss Thayer, who is making the investigations tor the Children's Aid society, and stated that she would sell to whomsoever she wished. The woman admitted that the boys of the Garfield school had been buying a large quantity of cigarettes from her store, but after hearing the law read and explained, promised to refrain from selling to the boys. Many of the teachers and parents from the various schools who are interested in the movement to regulate the kind of goods handled by the stores located and depending on the children's patronage for existence, are advocating a plan which they will present to the board of public safety and Mayor Shank. They will ask for a detail of two officers from the police

deartment to work under the direction
of the society and make investigation; in all parts of the city. It is main-1 tained by the supporters of this plan' that an officer would be able to get more from the children and get better co-operation from the parents if they were engaged in the work. The matter will be taken up with the board early next week and the investigation started by the Children's Aid society will be carried to a speedy completion. "A large number of dealers in tobacco, both among the merchants located near ti e schools and many who are in the business districts, have been reported to my office," said Mr. Loomis, "and all of them will be investigated. If it is their first offense they will be warned and another chance given them to obey the law, and with the second complaint we will gather evidence and take the charge into court. We have on file the statements of more than boys from various parts of the city who name a specified performance in their statement and give the name of the merchant making the sale, the date and all particulars and, after giving these merchants warning we will proceed to prosecute for the second offense."
In one of the small towns of the south a newly qualified judge was trying one of his first criminal cases. The accused was an old man who was charged with robbing a hen coop. He had been in court before on a similar charge and was then acquitted. "Well. Tom," began the judge, "1 see
! you're in trouble again." "Yes sah,"
replied the man; "the last time, jedge, you was ma lawyer." "Where is your lawyer this time?" asked the judge. "I ain't got no lawyer at this time," answered Tom, "I'm going to tell the truth."
