Good lives in Maplewood. His bride, the former Mrs. Sarah Duncan Hall, of East St. Louis, openly defied her sons and daughters in her marriage to Good. The Rev. J. T. Evitts, of ‘the Clayton Methodist Church, per- formed the ceremony which was attended by a-score of Good's friends. None of the bride’s chil- dren was at the wedding. Met at a Dance in 18738. Nine months ago Good became a widower for the second time and last May his fondness for “Sallie” Duncan, whom he first met in 1873 at a barn dance near Highland, IIl., revived. “I loved Sallie in the old days but Charley Hall got ahead of me and married her,’’ Good said. “I forgot about it after awhile and got married myself. My first wife died and I married a second time and my second wife died nine months ago. Then somebody told me Sallie was widowed and living over in East St. Louis. I went to see her and my love came back strong, every bit of it.” Obstacles in the Way. As s00n as Good began to talk of marriage in the home of Artie Hall, Mrs. Hall’s son, at 2918 Cot- tage avenue, East St. Louis, his visits were promptly discouraged by Mrs. Hall’s family. Further- Joseph Good, 78 years old, yes-} more, she.was spirited away to the home of a daughter. Good bribed butcher boys, had friends make false telephone calls and resorted to other ingenious moves to trace his betrothed. He found her at last at 1818 Exchange avenue, living with a daughter, Mrs, Grace Freer. He was permit- ted to see Mrs. Hall twice, but his talk of “a big wedding” was again frowned on by everyone but Mrs. Hall, who told her. gons and daughters she did not want her private affairs interfered with. By smuggled messages and oc- casional words over the letephone, Good and Mrs. Hall were able to agree upon yesterday as their wedding day. Bright and early, Good arrived at Mrs. Freer’s house and was told: “Mrs. Hall’s not in.’’ Appeals to Police. Desperate, he first asked the po- lice to interfere; then he besougnt a Justice of the Peace and an: As- sistant District Attorney for a war- rant to get Mrs. Hall away from “people who don’t understand her.”” Finally he bribed another butcher boy, a janitor and a maid, then boarded a car for Edwards- ville. It was almost noon when Mrs. Hall, then in the home of another daughter, Mrs. Lily Kline, at Ed- wardsville, heard a ring at the bell. She went to the door, met Good, and left the house. They entered a taxicab, drove to an interurban_car bound for St. Louis and spent the afternoon rid- ing in street cars to elude the pur- | suers they imagined were seeking them. Last night Good called some of his friends by telephone and asked them to “stand up with him” and arranged for the wedding in Clayton. ST. LOUISANS INDICTED N INDIANA LIQUOR CASE U. S.

Patterson of Ann Arbor, Mich., charge d'affaires of the American Legation in Ru- mania, motoring along a smooth beach on the Black Sea here, he heard cries for help from a small, half-naked boy flying a hugé kite which was carried 80 high by the wind that it threat- ened to pull the youngster into the sea. was The frightened boy was 6-ytar- | old King Michael of Rumania who cares more about kites than king- doms. He ~-ore only a pair of tiny trunks. “Hey, Mister, help me. I'm los- ing my kite,” cried the young King to the American diplomat in the tones of a New York street stripling. “Come quick, or I may be dragged into the water.” Patterson, who has known Mich- ael from babyhood, stopped his motor and ran to rescue the fright- ened King and his kite. Taking the thick cord from the boy’s blis- tered hands, he pulled in the kite which wds twice the size of Mich- ael and required all /Patterson’s strength. “Don’t tell my mother,” admon- ished the anxious Michael, “she will kill me. She doesn’t know I’m out.” Patterson placed “Mischievous Mickey” in his automobile and drove to the Princess Helen’s house, overlooking the sea. De- positing the little King safely in the hands of his English nurse, he whispered: “Ssh! He’s been out on the beach again and he almost flew away with his kite. Don’t tell on him.” GERMAN FLYER ON WAY 10 U. S, LEAVES TURKISH CITY Lieut. Koennecke Hops Off From Angora for Basra on the Persian Gulf. By the Associated Press. ANGORA, Turkey, Sept. 24.— Lieut.

ONE FIREMAN HURT BY FALLING DEBRIS a F iremen Aided in Fight by | Companies From East St. Louis, Scott Field and Mascoutah. The Baker Stove Works in Belleville were destroyed last night, by a fire which was discovered at 5:45 p. m., and which the Belle- ville Fire Department, aided by companies from East St, Louis, Scott Field and Mascoutah, was unable to overcome. Insurance men estimated the loss as exceed- ing $400,000. The stove plant, which employed about 150 persons, had been run- ning three or four days a week re- cently, and was not in operation yesterday. It extended along Freeburg avenue, in the southern manufacturing district of Belle- ville, for most of two blocks, and ran back aie half-block toward Abend street. The buildings were one story to three stories in height, and were of brick, except the foun- dry house, of corrugated iron con- struction. The floors and parti- tions were of wood, and many wooden molds and models’ were scattered about. When the fire {was discovered near the north end of the plant, it had a good headway. Three hours later with all available fire appara- tus in use, the office building, stor- age room, foundry department, cupola department and stove and range mounting departments were in flames, and the gas range de- partment was burning, with doubt whether much of it could be saved. Otto Fink, a Belleville fireman, was injured by debris which struck him when the range mounting building fell in. He was taken to St. Elizabeth’s Hospital. Several thousand spectators gathered, the fire being visible for miles, George Baker, head of the man- ufacturing company, would make no estimate of the loss, and said he could not say whether the plant would be rebuilt. No explanation of the cause of the fire has becn given. PASTOR WINS BET ON FIGHT, MAN MUST ATTEND CHURCH Tunney’s Victory Means Storekeep- er Will Hear Services for 52 Sundays.

STOCK MARKET JUST WIND, FORD ASSERTS) HENRY Real Economic Condition of Country Is Sound Despite Speculative Fluctuations, He Declares. By the Associated Press. DETROIT, Sept. 24. — Henry Ford has no fear that economic conditions may not justify volume production of the new automobile now in the making in the Ford plants, and believes fluctuations in the stock market are no indication of the economic condition of the country. “The cordition of th country is scund,’’ he said today. “The wild fluctuations of the stock market are no indication of the real econ- omic condition of the country. The stock market is just wind anyhow. When it gets to blowing too hard it will blow itself out.’’ ‘During the last 10 days, some 4000 employes have been added to the Ford plants, bringing the total to more than 62,800. This, Ford) indicated, did not necessarily, mean production records are being sought, “We don’t know how fast they will come through at first,” he said. “The output might jump from 1000 a day to 5000 or 6000 a day within a few @eks.” Ford added the? planning and achieving the new car had afford- ed him much pleasure. “The job has been a tremendous task, but the greatest fun in the world,” he said. While he expressed the belief that “not less than 400,000" of the new cars “will be required for the trade as rapidly as we can furnish them,” Ford added that he did not know when the first of them would come from the assembly line, “We are in production on many parts now,” he said. The motor manufacturer would not discuss prices in specific terms. “We did not build the car to fita price,”’ he said.

COURT REFUSES TO ENJOIN MAN FROM SECOND MARRIAGE Kansas Woman, Seeking to Keep Former Husband From Altar, Will File Appeal. Special to the Post-Dispatch. ' KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 24.— Judge Charles A, Miller of the Wy- andotte County District Court has denied the injunction asked by Mrs. Jessica McGrew in behalf of her two minor children, to prevent the marriage of her former hus- band, Joseph T, McGrew. Her at- torney, C. W. German, at once served notice of an appeal to the Kansas Supreme ‘Court. German said should Mr. McGrew marry while the appeal was pending and should the Supreme Court reverse Judge Miller’s decision, McGrew would be guilty of. contempt of court. The suit attracted an unusual audience of lawyers. The question as to whether a court can enjoin a man from marrying appears never to have been ruled upon before in Kansas City, Kan, German contends that as Mr. McGrew has not paid the $125 a month alimony which a Denver court ordered him to pay towards the support of the children and as $5875 is due, the children have a right to prevent his marriage. His attorneys contend he is not in a fi- nancial condition to pay the ali- mony. They neither denied nor confirmed a report that he was contemplating remarrying. “I do not believe there is any power or law by which a court can restrain a man from mar- rying,” Judge Miller said.
