AHUSBAND'S SURPRISE.
While Investigating o Brother
He Finds His Wife I'm
faithful.

Kansas City, July 80. -Mayor j.
Al. Henson and Druggist NJ. T.
Wooster, of Council Grove, Ran,
who have been in Kansas City, Kan,
since Sunday night, departed last
night for their home with proof, it is
said, of the in6delity of Wooster's
wife which they had not sought and
which they were shocked to find, and
also with proof of the violation of
Masonic regulations by q. f. Long,
at one time horse trader and stock
dealer in Council Grove. This was
what they sought and felt sure of
finding.
About July 8 Long departed from
Council Grove quietly. and few days
afterward Mrs. Wooster found it con-
venient to start for Illinois to visit
relatives. No one for moment sus-
pected any connection between the
two departures. A man from Kansas
City who knows the people concerned.
went to Council Grove a few days
after ward and spread the story that
he had seen Long with a woman in
Kansas City. The story reached the
lodge room, and M. T. Wooster, J.
w. Mercer and r. Ri. Ashley were
appointed a committee ofiuvestigation.
They went to Kansas City July 5
and ascertained that Long bad been
at the Hotel Ryns,, as A. II. Cole,
Denver, and that he had been accom-
panied by a woman whom be alleged
to be his wife.
Night Clerk Bowling recognized a
photograph of Long which the COM
mittee had secured, as an accurate
likeness of Cole, and Bowling also
found in the photograph of Mrs. Woos-
ter, which her husband accidentally
displayed, the features of Mrs. Cole,
which eft Wooster dumfounded, and
which be declared could not possibly
be true.
However, he::wrote to Mrs. Wooster
in Illinois, and received reply in
which she absolutely denied the
story.
Long, who b came Mr.. Cole when
occasion demanded concealment, is
said to be in Denver. The invest
eating committee secured evidence to
he produced in al effort to expel him
from the lodge. A porter at the New
Albany hotel, on Union avenue, who
was made servant of Mr.. and Mrs.
Cole for the time being, gave some of
the heavy facts in the case, ii is said,
in the nature of an affidavit to the
investigating committee.

DID HE DIE FROM A BLOW
A Well-tO.DO st. Louis Man
Charged With Killing
an Employee.

St. Louis, July 29.-John III.
Douglass, treasurer of the Knapp
Stout lumber company. Que Of the
largest concerns of its kind in the
country, was arrested lite last night
on charge of k ling Charles Dost,
one of the company's employees.
The story goes that Doet, WHO was
a laborer. went TO his home July Z,
complaining of pain in his head.
A physician was called and found
Dost in a semidclirious condition, and
treated him for inflammation of the
brain. Dost continued TO get worse
and yesterday morning he died. 1t
then came for the first time, it
is said, that Dost had told his wife
that he had been struck on the head,
at the lumber yard. with piece
of plank by Mr. Douglass.
MIR. Douglass emphatically denies
that he struck DOst. or anybody else,
and says that he peger saw or heard
of such a man. The attending ply
stefan and also another doctor-one
of the most eminent in the city who
was called in consultation, saw that
they carefully examined the man and
failed to find any evidence that he
had been struck on the head. An in
quest will be held this afternoon.
Meanwhile Mr.. Douglass has been re-
leased on bond. Mr.. Douglass is
well-known and weIl-to-dO resident
and great interest is being taken in
the case by his friends. Dost did not
tell his wife that it was Mr.. Douglass
who struck him, it is said, and how
the story got out involving that gentle
man is great mystery.

Rad Row i'm q Wine Garden.

Kansas City, July 28.-There was
a wild and bloody fight in Muehl-
bach's wine garden at Westport short
ly before l o'clock this morning, by
which one man may lose his life.
At that hour tour or five men, two
of them Joseph and Gustave Doehler,
brothers aud saloonkeepers on West
Nineteenth street, and a little French
man whose name is not known got in.
to wrangle with a couple of un-
known toughs. Hard words were
followed by general free for
all fight, in which chairs, knives and
pistols played prominent part. Sew
eral shots were fired, but so far as
known no one was hit by the flying
bullets. Great execution was done by
the chairs, however. Joseph Doehler
received a number of ugly wounds,
one laying open his scalp ON the side
of his head and probably fracturing
the skull. Gus Doehler alsD received
a number o. wounds, but is not so Sc
riously hurt as his brother.
The Frenchman was struck across
the body and the legs by a chair, and
Que of his legs was so badly frac-
tured that be was unable to walk
ard lad to be carried to the station
h use on streicher. One of thu
Doehler brothers had a big revolver
of the horse pistol pattern, of which
he made use, but it is not known
whether he did any execution. The
toughs Wi h whom the fight started
escaped after laying out their adver-
sariss, and their identity is not
known.
The garden when the police arrived
looket ike veritable slaughter
house. Several tables and neary a
dozen chairs and berches were demol-
ished, and the broken pieces were be-
with bloo1.
Joseph Doehler's injuries, it is
feared, may prove fatal.
He was taken to police station No.
/, together with his brother and the
and the manager of the
garden.

Camden, n. j., July 30.-A young
man, named William Tory, living on
Ha1don avenue, in this city, has for
some time past been annoying young
lady of that city by his frequent Wis
its and tender missiyes. He was told
by the maiden that he was not want
ed, but he persisted in annoying her,
and she finally appealed to her cousin
for relief. When a letter was
received requesting a meeting in front
of the Cooper Hospital for Friday
evening the cousin got a friend to
dress up as a woman and meet the
masher. Other friends were lying in
wait and they greeted Tory with
shower of -four, sawdust and similar
articles. After pleading in vain for
mercy the fresh young man took to
his heels and escaped amid the
laughter of his inamorata and her
friends, who had witnessed the whole
performance.
