Other Dear Charmer Away.

HOW happy he COulu be WIN oHV eAiO
Other Dear Charmer Away.
William W. Eggleston, a tony looking
Young man of intelligent appearance and
with consumptive's cough, reposed on the
soft side of plank in cell No. at police
headquarters last night, being arrested on
the charge Of bigamy. He is 30 years OF age,
was formerly in the tailoring business in
Minneapolis, but has recently posed as gay
deceiver and heart-breakcr.
He was arrested in company with wife
No. 2 at the latter's residence on Spruce
street about o'clock last night, and he took
the sudden turn affairs had taken with the
complacency of a man who is between
two fires and is glad enough to get beyond
the limit of short range practice at any
hazard.
His first break in the troubled waters of
matriInony was made on the 18th of last
November, when he was united in marriage
to lady of Sioux Falls. The latter is about
twenty-six or twenty-eight years of age,
possessing a well-rounded and sym
metric al form, regular features, large gray
eyes and a blooming complexion. In addi-
ton to personal charms of no mean order
she possessed about $3.50 in currency, which
the CAV Benedict at once proceeded to appro-
pirate, and after
BRIEF HONEYMOON
of four or five days he skipped out.
The cnterprisng young man was largely
on the marry, and his next adventure took
place at Sioux City, Ia. Here he made the
acquaintance of a charming young widow,
and after a short but sweet court
ship they were married. In point
of looks the latter is quite pretty.
She is a decided blonde, with rosy cheeks,
flashing blue eyes, an Amazonian temper
and a regular shower of coaxing curls and
friZZes Besides her temper and good looks
she contributed a ten-year-old girl, some
money and jewelry to brighten the happi-
ness Of her new master and lord. After his
second marriage he came to st. Paul and
settled down with wife No 2, their place of
residence being on Spruce street, Nothing
occurred to mar their bliss until yesterday,
when wife No. doomed up and swore out a
warrant for his arrest.
AN INTERESTING SCENE.
After being locked up he was visited by
wife No. l, whose highly emotional temper
ament gave way when she beheld her tTuant
lord, and after a brief conversation, during
which he assured her that he was not married
TO the other woman, she said she was ready
to forgive him.
During the interview wife No. 2 sailed
into the corridor, accompanied by her little
girl Anticipating trouble If the women
met, Chief Clark followed her to the cell,
and observing that her dolman was rather
bulgy he put his hand into her pocket aud
drew forth a bulldog revolver. On being
questioned she said that the weapon belonged
Ia her husband and that she wanted him to
have.ft.'
ON seeiug wife No. her eyes danced with
anger, her face became set and determined, a
scene only being prevented by the presence
of Chief Clark After wife No. l had been
gotten out of the way she held whispered
conversation with the prisoner. and on
parting she asked him to return q gold
watch, which he finally forlled over.
As she left the corridor she was tackled
by GLOBE reporter with
THE FOLLOWING RESULT:

"Mind your own business, will youl" and
the rafters shook again.
'Arc you taken this way often."
At this she advanced, and recalling the
guu episode the reporter skipped.
