Hjl CHURCH WELLS Beau Brummel Bridegroom Os Eight Wedded Romances Still Woman’s Hero KID M’COY HAD W WITH WOMEN THAT DREW IW TO 1 Man Accused of Slaying Mrs. Mors Possessed of Mesmeric Lure for Oposite Sex LOVED ALL HIS WIVES Went to Altar Three Times With Julia Woodruff; Still Loved By Eighth Bride By JACK JUNGMEYER LOS ANGELES, Calif, Aug. 18. Treat’ em rough, but gently That was Kid McCoy’s paradoxi cal and amazingly effective way with women. Kid McCoy, outstand ing figure of prize ring. Eight times wedded and divorced, hero of innumberable romances. One of the remarkable battlers and cour tiers of his generation An amative genius, the Kid, A lateh man with inordinate pride in the title. Come to grief and jail cell now in his 51st year, for love of Mrs. Teresa Mors, wealthy art dealer of Los Angeles, whom he expected to make his ninth bride. Something went wrong with the Kid’s formula in this case. Mrs. Mors, recently divorced after clandestine courtship by McCoy, was found on Aug. 13 bullet slain in an apartment, said by police to have been occupied with the pug ilist. For weeks prior McCoy had play ed a spectacular part in the Mors domestic tangle, as defender of the wife. A few hours after her death, charged to McCoy, he ran amuck in the streets with a revolv er, wounding three epersons. He maintained she committed suicid'e in his prese nc e' and that her act had ‘ put out the lights for him.” Thus the Kid added another tragic chapter to his fickle matrimonial career. If the world remembers anyone else longer than the fighter, it is tho lover. Hannibal apd Romeo, At tilla and Lothario. These go down the ages together. And so McCoy’s gallantries may long suriv e his ring powess. He Was redoubtable in both spheres, the man with resin on his feet and treacle talk upon his lips. He had a mesmeric lure for wo- KID McCOY AND TWO OF HIS FLAMES ' 1 1 : - Isa W ! (Above) Mrs. Theresa Mors, tenth “real love” of Kid McCoy, whom the former pugilist is ac cused of having slain.

Made every woman who came un der his spell believe that to the world he was hard and fearsome, but to her tender, considerate, pro tective. And he could spar as deftly with words as with the fists many ring champions respected. What poets have said delicately of grand passion, the Kid, by no means uncouth, repeated in clum sier, but singularly, potent way Rich and poor, blond and brunet, brilliant and otherwise, young and not so young—women held out their finger for his wedding ring or listened to his impetuouu.s wooing. Beginning with Charlotte Pieh- ( ler, in 1894, McCoy married in ! succession Julia Woodruff, a Broadway star; Indianola Arnold; Mrs. Lillian Estelle Ellis, widow of , “Bud” Ellis, a New York character;! Edna Valentine, daughter of wealthy Washington Valentine, and last, Dagmar Dahlgren, Julia Wood ruff he remarried twice. Hollywood women, picture stars, among whom he moved profession ally of late, marked him with re vealing glances And big, aggres sive, large-eyed, smiling man, with a curly cowl around a bald spot, young for 51, a very auroch of a man. Os each new mate he said, ‘She’s the only woman I really loveed.” And believed it, apparently. He said it impassionedly of Mrs. Mors. He said the same to this writer about Julia Woodruff. He could win them. Overwhelm them with odd combination of chiv alry and brisqueness. But he THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER > ' T Js » ■ Jr Bw I Q; couldn’t hold them. Or he didn’t care to. Admittedly he was af flicted with wanderlust acquired during boyhood, as hobo, when Norman Selby ran away from home in Moscow, Ind., to become Kid Mc- Coy, fighter. For his wedding failures he blamed himself, without much regret. No time to repine with a world so full of lovely and responsive women. An elective lover he. The man few women could resist, but none could keep. His eighth* bride, Dagmar Dah’- gren, says of the Kid: “Norman is the most, lovable man in the world. Something about him .no woman can resist. I love him still. But he loved all women just the same, none in particular. , A Gypsy by turns fierce and gentle in his | wdoing—sweeping women off their feet.” In cynical mood he remarked, ‘There’s nothing cheaper in the world than women.” And during such moods he would boast, not too nicely, of his triumphs in club -1 rooms. In more poetic vein he boasted of his matrimonial adven tures in crude, but impressive free verse. Thus he anointed his van ity. Although he chose to impress women that he was ready to fight for them, the primitive appeal to the primitive, McCoy had, until the Mors case never been seriously crossed in his courtships. In that case he was crossed by a husband. Albert Mors, who seemed on the verge of affecting reconciliation. Policy were called when Mrs. Mors brought the Kid home to dine with the unndivorced husband. McCoy trouncer of men and troubador zd women, relished that. Warriors, wooers, philanderers. Attilla, Lo thario, and the Kid, if you please. ‘Treating ’em rough. Ecstacy, trouble, tragedy—their nam e was women for Kid McCoy. From his fistic and romantic defeats he always came up smiling, ready for more, utilizing failure to plan triumph—from all but his ninth “real love.” There is one more woman in the Kid’s hectic life—the first and last —his aged mother. To her he has always been gentle. To her win dow he came on th e night of the Mors tragedy, like a prodigal, calling in the dark. “Mother, are you there? I came to see how you .vere. What time is it?” There are, >e maintains, only a limited num ber of fights in any man. He kniv •vhc n he was through in the ring, tbout the number of loves in a man he is not so sure. For Kid McCoy the latter may be de orminend by the outcome of the trial the district attorney of Los Angeles says he will have to stand. RESERVE OFFICERS vno-r NOW AT M’PHERSON fort MCPHERSON.

Sev eral Indians, educated in the reser vation schools/ have filed this year for county offices, while Robert Yellowtail, three quarter blood Crow Indian, of Lodge, Grass, on the Crow reservation, has announc ed his desire to attend the white man’s Congress at Washington as a representative from Montana. Yellowtail, who is 35 years old, completed his education by private tutoring after his graduation from the reservation schools. Encouraged by his tribesmen, he recently filed for Congress from the second dis trict, subject to the primary election Aug. 26. He is opposing Congress man Scott Leavitt, of Great Falls, who is completing his first term. Montana’s Indian population is estimated at 13,000, of whom 7,000 live in the second congressional dis trict. More than 2,500 Indians from the six reservations will be allowed to vote this yepr. Yellow tail, who gives his occupation as a rancher, announces h e will base his campaign on his knowledge of In dian problems. FINANCE AND PATENTS HIT INDUSTRY HARD BERLIN, August 18—Another burst bubble of high hopes is the story of Germany’s radio industry. When government restrictions on the sale of receiving sets were lift ed last fall, a hundred or more fac tories sprung up. Os these, only two or three are still working, largely for exportation. The manu facturers blame the introduction of the rentpnmark and the sudden end of the inflation period for the situ ation. The fact that most of the 900 patents in the field are controlled by' the “Telefunken” concern prov ed to be another snag for the young industry. Round Trip Summer Fares from Americus, Ga.

CBffl KBK HELP HUNGRY KIDS Under-Privileged Children Have Been Studied by Club During Several Years Past CHICAGO, Aug. 18.—How to help under-privileged children along the path toward good citizenship is one of the problems the Kiwanis clubs of Chicago have studied for a number of years. Various move ments with this end in view have been carried out with gratifying re sults, officers say, and now an ef fort toward a happier state of mind is to be made through the child's stomach. “Sociologists are generally agreed that the chances are decidedly against the undernourished boy or girl,” they assert. “Hunger breeds unhappiness and unhappiness breeds bitterness against those more fortu nately situated. Kiwanians believe that building up the bodies of thes? underfed little folk will tend to pro duce a cheerier outlook on life, in other words, that more good citi bens will develop from a group of well fed children than will come from the same number of under nourished children. “The Kiwanis clubs therefore perfected arrangements to dis tribute during the summer 1,000.- 000 free bottles of milk. Mothers in the poorer sections of the city were given coupon books entitling them to a given number of quarts of milk over a certain period, new books to be issued as needed.” FEATHER MITE NEW POULTRY PARASITE LAFAYETTE, Ind., Aug. 18.— Discovery of a new poultry parasite, called the feather mite, is announced by Prof. C.

Because of their continual drain on the poultry, day and night, th- , pests are much more dangerous ’h s ”' other mites, frequently killing birds outright. They may be f ou ''! on all parts of the body, but accun'u late most at the base of the tail a j below the vent. Their lif e cyc " ( . from egg to adult is only a bJ t ’ eight to twelve days, so infestation develops rapidly. During warm weather a careful dipping treatment is a good cure the dip consisting of one ounce of soap and two ounces of finely di vided flowers of sulphur to a gallon of tepid water. The soap should be dissolved first and the sulphur then stirred in. In cold weather the dip cannot hr. used effectively. Instead, liberal dusting with finely powdered sufl phur is recommended. A. M.
