just rest.” Later she did ar
range to have the entire home
to herself. Her husband went
do wn town and her sister, Mrs.

, Woe For Lazy Husbands.
It is expected that many a
fishing trip will be broken up
and the interests of certain men
in out door sport broken up
throughout the state of Wash
ington when the new law against
lazy husbands goes into effect
June 14.
The husband who won’t work
and can work and has work of
fered him may be hailed to
court by his injured spouse and
there sentenced to hard labor.
Under the former law the
wife’s only resourse was to
have her husband sent to pris
on and while he was there pei'-
haps she had to go hungry or
earn a living. Many women ac
cording to court officials, show
an inclination to begin proceed
ings at the earliest possible date.

Durham today mourns the death
of second Sergeant Gill P. Cates

shooting his wife. The police
station is draped in mourning
and the body of the dead officer
carried to his home on Roxboro
street and the interment will be
made at Maplewood cemetery
tomorrow afternoon at 2 o’clock.
One of the most pathetic fea
tures of the unfortunate affair
is that the second sergeant was
doing volunteer work in that
he went out of the city limits to
look after a disturbance.'
. Mrs. Conklins injuries are of
a very serious nature though the
monster gun with which her
husband killed the officer was
used on her and a 44 caliber
bullet ploughed its way through
the lower part of her leg the
bullet just missing the bones,
She wa^ carried to the Watts
hospital and today is resting

either the officer or her hus
band was dead till this {morning
