J. F. Bowman Shot Trousers Off
Man Because Radio Set Was
Disturbing His Sleep
Greenville, Aug. 28.—A late blar

the dignity that attaches thereunto
and a judge added up to SB,OOO plus
cests in Pitt Superior court today.
J. Francis Bowen was minus the
93,000 plus, it having been sib

Walter Bowen and divided between
Pftt county ($250 and the plus) and
T. D. Phillips ($2,750 damages for
humiliation and injury).
Phillips owned the radio, the
pants and the dignity. Bowen own

A SERIAL WHICH EVERY WOMAN I
WILL GET A THRILL OUT OF I
JULIE FARROW, the wicked Julie Far
row, drove young Rodney Ardron to sui
cide. GILES CHITTENHAM, Rodney's
older half-brother, met her and swore to
avenge Rodney. He would make Julie
suffer as Rodney had suffered.
Then Fate took a hand. Giles made Julie
Love him, then he cast her aside—but it
was the wrong Julie Farrow! The girl
whom he had punished was not the one who
had ruined Rodney, but her cousin. And
Giles found thafhe was overwhelmingly in
love with her! As if that were not enough,
Giles was already married.
Those are the materials out of which Ruby
M. Ayres has woven this intriguing romance
of wasted lives and broken hearts. It is a
story which holds the reader from the first
word to the last.
"BROKEN" begins in this paper this
week.
