In County Court. In county court this morning the hearing In the case of the State vs. Baker was had. the preliminary ex amination of the accused being con ducted by County Attorney Ramsey for the state, while A. N. Sullivan appeared for the defendant. The evidence Introduced went to show the fact of Baker's marriage In this tlty to Mrs. Vrotnau and the volun tary admission he had made to the sheriff and county attorney of hla marriage in Ohio and his subsequent living with his wife at Ashtabula. Owing to the Inability of Mrs. Baker No. 1 to be present the evidence against him had to consist of ad missions made by Mm. His counsel raised the point that the state had Tailed to prove the fact of his prior marriage and argued for his dismis sal. Judge Beeson took the matter under advisement until this after noon, giving Baker's counsel until 3 o'clock In which to provide authori ties sustaining his views. Judge Beeson Intimated that In the absence of any specific authority on the subject, he was Inclined to hold Baker for trial In the district court, as he was satisfied in his own mind of the commission of the crime of bigamy, and believed the defendant was the person commit ting It. County Attorney Ramsey states that he expects to show by compo Two Leading Ladies. Mrs. George E. Dovey this morn ing was in receipt of some very pleasing Intelligence in the shape of a message announcing the signing of her two daughters, Miss Alice Dovey and Mrs. Frederick Truesdell (Miss Ethel Dovey) for the coming season. Miss Alice Dovey signs as the lead ing woman for Lew Fields, the co median. Miss Ethel Dovey and her husband have signed with DeWolf Hopper, Miss Dovey signing as his leading , woman and Mrs. Truesdell securing a good part in the produc tion. The two companies open this season with new pieces, the piece for Mr. Fields being written by Vic tor Herbert, the composed of Wang" and other popular comic operas, lnis company opens on Sep tember 27. It Is seldom two young women have climbed the ladder so rapidly as the two Misses Dovey, and their friends are quite Justly pleased at their pronounced success. Jt is to be hoped they will get far enough west this season so that they may be heard by the people who have known them all their lives and who have watched their progress In their profession with so great an Interest. Fractures Her Hip. .Mrs. J. M. Woodson on Friday last sustained a very severe Injury, re suiting in breaking her hip. The aged lady was feeding her cow and tent proof in district court the fact for this purpose had her apron full of the first marriage In Ohio and the of green corn husks.
