little boy. Yesterday afternoon the
attention OF the men In the
stockysrd and 10 f. Krisch's butch
or shop on the corner, was called
to the cries Of the woman and boy,
Schilling. Going over to the house from
which the cries of distress emsDsted,
they found railroad man by the name
Of Sam Cornell, who was choking the
woman and had pistol, threatening to
kill her. He was a very powerful young
man and under the influence Of great
| quantity OF liquor which he had evident
ly drank, WAS almost a mailman. The
| police were sent for and mounted Officer
great crowd of people had by this time
assembled and the street was
blookaded. COnnel was overpowered
by the police and the bystaDders, among
| them Mr.. Frank Krisch, Jr.. and pro-
