Yesterday evening Mrs. Maggie Will
son swore out warrant for Mr.. Frank
G. Caldwell, before Justice Rogers,
charging him with assault and battery.
The history of the matter GS CLEANED
from other sources is as follows: Some
time since, Mrs. Wilson applied for a
position in Mr.. Caldwell'S home as a do
nestle. Mrs. Caldwell employed her,
though she was a stranger and alleged
that she came from Chicago. After q
short time Mrs. Wilson developed very
bad Dper, and tried to run the house
20 suit herself This eliminated in
Mrs. Wilson Selling a knife yesterday
afternoon and chasing Mrs. Caldwell
ont Of her own house. Mrs. Caldwell sent
for her husband, who came forthwith
and elected Mrs. Wilson from the prem
ises.
Mrs. Wilson, in her allegation before
the Justice, said that Mr.. Caldwell
handled her roughly in ejecting her,
hence the warrant.
The case will be heard at 1880 p. m,
Friday.
Yesterday morning Mrs. James NJ.
Jones swore out warrant for her hus-
band, charging him with cruel treat
nent, and asking that he placed under
bond to keep the peace. Mrs. Jones
bears the marks Of her husbands i'll
treatment, and the case is peculiarly
reprehenSible, according TO the stories
told by Mrs. Jones and her mother
Jones will have a hearing before Squire
Davis to-day.
For good while back there had been
complaint, about the intersection Of
Twelfth and High streets, of the action
Of Lena Baker aud Frank SluSher, who
have been living together without the
iOrmality Of a marriage contract. Last
evening the complaints took definite
form, and the couple were arrested
by Constable Lauchlin, on a
warrant charging them with adultery
and fornicatiOn. Slusher was sent to
Jail, while the woman was released on
bal. for a hearing at ten O'Clock to-day.
When the constable went TO the house
he found ThOs. Burke asleep there.
He abused the constable r0undly, aud
was sent to Jail for his trouble. Burke
and Dan McAny were also arrested,
earlier in the evening, for fighting.
