"TIME brings all things."

Unconcern

In Ramsey, N. J., when Jennie Quackenbush spurned his offer of marriage, Farmer William Storms pulled a $5 bill from his pocket, set fire to it. Then he went home, shot his three horses, set fire to his barn, tossed into the blaze life savings of $2,400 and the deed to his farm. Flames ignited his clothing, sent him dashing to a creek. Badly burned, he was dragged from the creek by a neighbor who started to drive him to a hospital. On the way they collided with a truck, wrecking the car. Next morning Farmer Storms died. Said Jennie Quackenbush: "Will Storms' death does not concern me in the least."

Nice Lad

In San Leandro, Calif., Judson Doke warned a young student to stop his affair with Mrs. Doke, shot him dead when he refused. To the student's funeral Judson Doke sent flowers. "I have nothing against the boy. In many ways he was a nice lad," said Judson Doke.

90 or Nothing

In Great Falls, Mont., Alex Zwanetzck, sentenced to 30 days in jail, told the judge: "I want 90 days or nothing. My girl friend is doing 90 days in jail now. We're going to be married when she gets out. I haven't anything else to do and I want to stay in jail until her time's up." Alex got 90 days.

Schedule

In Norristown, Pa., Mrs. Edward H. Le Boutillier told a court that her husband pursued a daily schedule of drinking. Starting at 6 a. m., he was drunk by midmorning, sober by lunch. The afternoon found him in his cups but by 6 p. m. he was back where he started. After dinner he began again, reaching a peak around bedtime. To a hospital for a year the judge sent Edward H. Le Boutillier.

Exit

In Peekskill, N. Y., for the first time in 20 years, John J. Morrissey left the house to which he retreated in 1914 to escape noise. His purpose: to complain to police against his next-door neighbor's radio.

Trance

In Kansas City, to establish the reality of divine law, Spiritualist Herbert Tanner engaged an Egyptian vaudeville trouper to lie buried in his churchyard for two hours, "demonstrate" that the dead are only in a trance. Police dug up the Egyptian, fined him $25 for not having a burial permit, $25 for performing the services of an undertaker without a license.
