A BRUTAL AFFAIR.
Another Wife Bea,er Arrested,

It:was but short time since that we record
ed the assault made by John Collins upon his
wife, This morning we call the publics atten-
ton to still more brutal affair." Yesterday
morning Mrs. Woodsome called at the police
station and notified Marshal Parker that
Michael Mcdonald, living on Monroe street,
had beat his wife in a shocking manner
Deputy Marshal Bridges at once visited the
place lntimated and found matters even worse
than reported. The house where the family
live is small story and a half dwelling. The
family live in the second story, which is very
comfortably fitted up. The officer found Mrs.
Mcdonald on bed in a fearful condition.
The body was black and blue from head to
foot Her head was cut up in several places,
and one eye was completely closed up, and sew
eral. of her fingers were badly bitten. DIR
Brooks was called and he considered the case
very critical one.
Mrs. Mcdonald was too feeble to give any
account of the affair. Marshal Parker at
once gave orders to have Mcdonald arrested for
the assault. After the doctor had left the
room her husband returned, and hearing that
she had sent for the doctor, made another as
sault upon her. Officer Burnham got on his
track and arrested him in his stable. He is
fish pedder, and has quite an amount of
property. He refuses to give any account of
the affair, out says that his wife must have
fallen from chair and hurt herself. Mrs.
Woodsome says that the assault was probably
made Wednesday night, and that the woman
remained alone until yesterday morning.
The neighbors say that it is no uncommon
thing for him to beat her; in fact it is so COM
mon an occurrence that they take no notice of
it.
AS near as can be ascertained, the assault
was made with chair, which the drunken
man struck over the head of the woman hard
enough to. break one Of the legs. The man
will be brought before Judge Knight this
morning, charged with can assault with intent
to KILL
The victim of this cruel treatment is a second
wife. Her health has not been very good of
late, but her husband has utterly refused her
physician. Marshal Parker says that he con-
sders this the most brutal case he has ever
known of, and he is determined to have it fully
investigated.
Mcdonald was very composed last evening,
aud remarked to Marshal Parker that hev
thought the best thing to do was to let him
(McDonald) 60, and say nothing more about
the affair.
