roo MUCH MOTHER-IN-LA
And He Had to Give Bonds to Keep the
Peace on That Account.

And He Had to Give Bonds to Keep the
Peace on That Account.
His name is Meusik, euphonious Meusik, and
there was more solid discord in the bosom Of
his family than could be agonized from all Ar
kansas fiddle in a month of Sundays. He re-
lated to the court a narrowing tale of connubial
infellcity superinduced by the CONCEALED play
fulness of an over-frisky mother-in-law.
They resided in West st. Paul, and their
union had at first been signalized by reful-
gance of joy radiant as a lamp upon the lamp,
stand. But there is q time for all things, and
such bliss could not last forever.
One day while the latch-strlng was loose
the turtle-dove, which had been cooling soft
roundelay from its perch on the big tree,
fitted out into the great world, and heavy
sandalled asthmetic individual waddled in.
1t was the mother-in-aw, and she had come
to stay. Then it was that thorn sprang up
where the vine and fig tree used to blossom,
and it chased away the JOY and the sunshine,
and pierced with it's cruel fang the sweet-voiced
nestlings, and what had once been a radiant
bower was now a cavern OF gloom.
The pressure was too much for the bewildered
Meusik, and one day in fit of frenzy he
ordered his wifes relatives to vacate the ranch.
This proved the yeritable straw that broke the
the truncated back of the domestic dromedary.
An old fashioned fandago set in, which resulted
in the involuntary absence of the old lady.
Thenceforth the sweet bells were indeed tangled,
and the upshot of it all resulted in Mrs. Meusik
having her husband arrested on the charge OF
assault and battery.
The wife, Mrs. Franceska Meusik, was close.
ly interrogated by Judge Flint, her whole tes'
timony showing that it was a clear case OF
mother-in-law The hen pecked portion of tbs
family ackno wledged the soft Impeachment, but
firmly denied having cruelty treated his wife
The court harmonlzed the difficulties of thi:
very un-Meusikel family by compelling Meusis
to sign a 300 bond to keep the peace for 81,
months.

SHEENEY GEORGE.
He Proposes to "Give Away" His Pals

Monday morning, Johnny Lamb and George Free
man alias Sheeney George, ware arraigned in the
criminal court in Chicago Tor the murder of Police
Officer Race, of that city. The nature of the crime,
preceded by daring burglary, is well known in this
city, for Sheeney George was captured here At
that time all the details OF the double crime were re-
lated by the GLOBE. The circumstances of Free
mans capture are to fresh in the minds of readers
to need repetition. 1t will be remembered too, that
the GLOBE ventured the assertion that Freeman knew
much about the MURDER ETC., any che, not even
excepting Lamb, and expressed the belief that
Sheeney George could and would be induced
to sQueal At the arrangement on Monday, all this
was verified. When the was called States at
tOrney Mills announced the State ready to pro-
coed. To this Lambs attorney took objection he
had been informed that George Freeman to be
produced as a witness for the prosecution. This
fact was then developed that Freeman had conclutl-
ed to turn States evidence; and had only intinated
his desire to confess his criininay last Saturday.
Mr.. Mills had an interview with him, the result OF
which that he named as the important wit
ness for the prosecution. AL manner of surmiscs
made as to why Shceney has ''laid down." and
the nature and extent of his testimony
Is canvassed. 1t is understood that he has made Il
clean breast Of it, confessed to his full share in the
venture from its inception to the elimination in the
tragedy which deprived Officer Race of his life. In
this connection it may be pertinently observed that
this desire to ''squeal is nothing to Freeman
While in confinement here he was utterly and thor
oughly depressed, and more than one occasion
said he was ready to give up. When urged to tell
what he'd 'give up he'd assume air of mystery
but let fall sundry intimations which clearly con
nected him with the whole horrible business.
It is no violation Of secret to state that
Sheeney confessed to Capt. Clark, while here what
he now proposes to give in evidence. This weaken
ing Of Freeman communicated to States Attcr-
ney Mills and doubtless had its influence in induc-
ing Freeman to his neck by jeopardizng Lamb g
to the full extent Of tho law-haiter. Owing to the
fact of Sheeneys confession being sprung on him,
Lambs lawyer asked for postponenent for one
week. and the court granted it.

Il SERIOUS JOKE,

"A Young Mans Portrait Gets into the
"Polics Gazette"
young gent of this city, who is fond of a
joke, has had the repartec administered to him
most amazingly. In this weeks issue of the
Police Gazette appears very accurate picture
of the young man, supplemented by the fol-
lowing:

For the capture Or information to the where
aoouts of W. P. Kirk of st. Paul, Mimi, forger in
that city to the amount Of $780, reward of $500 is
King, Mimi. An excellent protrait Of the missing
forger Is given in another page, aud he is further
described as being about % years Of age, dark CON-
pleX1on black hair and eyes, upper teeth filled with
gold, and wearing when last cancels hair cloh
suit, with hat to MATCH and late style ulster"
Mr.. Kirk is involved to the above extent, but
the joke has also been perpetrated to degree
on Sheriff King. On the 18th inst. he received
a letter from the Police Gazette stating his let
ter with the enclosed photograph of the forger
had been received, and returned bill of 81 for
having it inserted. The probability is that
some practical jokers, to get even with Kirk for
his many tricks, dispatched the letter and
photo, subscribing Sheriff Kings name as
James N. King to make the thing hold fast
The purpose is to trace the matter to it's source
and discover the cruel perpetrators Of so ghast-
ly a. joke. If found they will be prosecuted
for their hbelous outrage. Kinks tricks in
female attire were harmless, if not commend
able fun, compared.to the dastardiy advertise.

Which Caused an Alarm Among the Lesis-
lators.
The fire department got out very expedi-
tiously yesterday afternoon about o'clock.
The alarm came in from box y, near the Met
ropolitan hotel. The fire was found to be in
the roof of the three story stores Nos. ITO and
III Third street, adjoining the hotel. Chief
Strong got on to the roof, and saw that the
t1ames were deadened and slumbering be-
heath the roof. He cut away TO
the blaze, had hose run up
and soon extinguished it. The buildings
belong to Morris Lamprey. On the lower floor
one store is unoccupied, while the other is &C.
cupied by Phillip Fabul shoe store. The
two upper stories are occupied by Capt. Gibbs,
OF Gen. Terry's staff, a residence. The
fire originated from defective chimney, and
had gotten good hold when discovered-it
had probably been smouldering for some hours.
The damage consists Of badly charred roof
Or rafters, hole in the roof and some damage
by water. Total loss will figure up about 5000;
fully insured.
The report reached the capitol that the Me-
tropolitan was on fire, and there was q lively
rush by the members for the hotel to save their
effects,

We cannot in this appeal consider the de-
PENDANTS point that the verdict is not sus-
tanned by the evidence because the ''case' does
not show that all the evidence is contained in
the question addressed by defendants to Miss
Geer, witness upon the stand was rightful-
ly ruled out as net proper cross-examination
With regard to the error claimed to have been
committed in refusing to give the jury certain
instructions requested by defendants, we think
the court below was justified in saying that sin
the broad and general form in which they were
asked they were not specially applicable to the
case, and were under the circumstances rathe,
calculated to mislead the jury, and that the
principles of law invoked were so far as appli-
cable to the case sufficiently set forth in the
general charge"
