A Naughty Married Man-old Hands Dis
charSed-Good Times Coming.
An amusing episode occurred in police
circles in thus usually quiet and staid old
town. 1t appears that certain lady, be-
ing called TO the bedside OF very sick sis
t,r over in Bellaire, left her lord in posses
sion with the injunction to do the very best
he could until she returned, which was some
what uncertain. After her departure her
lord, realizing his lonely condition, engaged
q companion to fill up the interim during
his wiie's absence; bu;, alas for him, the
wife appeared very unexpectedly during the
night, and found her lord and companion
sound asleep, locked in each others en-
brace. A poker was the instrument the
irate and infurated lady used to arouse the
sleeping couple. 1t proved efectual, for
the cries of the woman soon brought the
neighbors to the scene, when the two boon
companions were arrested and taken 10 the
oskup. The scene at the Mayors Office
was rich rare and racy.
