"COPPER" TALKED TOO MUCH.

Whereupon Independence Woman
Strikes Him, and Is Fined $50.

"You are talking too much," said Officer Lee to Mrs. Mabel Gaulter at police headquarters in Independence yesterday.

"So are you," was the woman's reply, as she struck the officer over the head.

The argument ceased.

Mrs. Gaulter was fined $50 in police court by Judge Peacock, who gave a stay of execution if the woman's relatives should see that she was properly cared for.
