August Hside. sausage maker. Mrs Heide
and five small Heides came from hiladelphia
to New York four years ago. They took rooms
in tenement house next to the quarters of
David Simpkins. an aged G. A. r veteran.
Simpkins soon fell in'love with Mrs Heide, and
showed it. Mrs. Heide liked Simpkins. and
showed it, too. Heide made great row about
their intimacy, and threatened to sue for . di-
yorce. As he was rather slow to begin pro
ceedings, Simpkins and Mrs. Heide got mar
ried, in the hope of hurrying him up. Then
Heide got obstinate and refused to be divorced
at all. So Mrs. Heide stepped across the hall
to Simpkins' apartment, and assumed the name
of Mrs. Simpkins. After two years Simpkins
and the former Mrs. Heide fell out, and the
woman returned to her old quarters, across the
hall. This joint matrimonial partnership IN
volved Heide and Simpkins in series Of quar-
rels, which eliminated this afternoon in fight
in simpkins' room. During the tussle bucket
of blood, which the sausage-maker had set down
just inside the veterans door, was upset, and
spoiled the carpet. Simpiins had HeIde ar
rested for malicious mischief. Heide had
Simpkins arrested for assault. Both were re-
manded and warrant issued against the
woman for bigamy.

portion of the periosteum cut from the tore
head Of the woman. The surgeon is confdent
that this new nose viii be an organic part Of

though trifie large and Roman, Is far from
