Character, was arrested on complaint Of his
wife, Louise Minor, yesterday. charged with
threatening 70 kill. At o'clock in the after
noon the old man was arraigned before Justice
Won Iobei, and after hearing the testimony the
justice discharged Mr.. Minor from custody and
attached the costs OF action 10 the complaining
witness

weeks ago as swearing out warra nj for the
arrest OF his wife. who, he alleged, had de-
serted him Tor a certain John smith. who had
murdered two men in Denver, and that there
was bow standing reward of $1,000 hung out
for him.

The woman had good deal to tell about their
former troubles, and also brought up the story
OF viii which she alleged her husband drew d 3
while IN spokane. In IL she alleged that her
husband said he would kill her. Minor, when
on the stand, produced a printed copy of the
VIII IN which nearly every word was mis-
spelled and every sentence inaccurately pnnctu-
ated- He averred he never wrote the VIII, and
sad the whole thing was concocted by Mrs.
Minor, and that be knew nothing about it until
IL came out IN the Spokane papers. Many OF the
words tnat the justice noticed mlsspelled he
asked Minor to spell for him, which he did.
There was not word that the old man could
not correctly spell.

IN which he endeayored to show that his wife,
who is about thirty years his junior, had been
led away from him by interested parties who
had aftcrward boasted that they had parted the
" old devil and his WIFE,
The justice concluded that the woman had no
cause TO complain and also that she was in no

COMBATANTS IN COURT.
Arthur III. Meade Gets 81 Damages for
"a Thunpfny.


The interesting damage suit OF Arthur II.
Meade against Charles II. French came to a
close in Judge osborns court yesterday, when
the jury awarded Meade 81 damages ior the
humping he received.
The parties 70 this suit are prominent citizens
OF the village OF Slaughter, and in July, 1889,
amused themselves By writing communications
OF an uncompiimentary nature to the Slaughter
Sun about each other.
On July 18th they met and had personal en-
counter. in which Meade seems to have been
worsted. He sued French for 5000 for assault
and battery, and in his complaint alleged that
he had been violently assaulted. and for the
whipping he had received he demanded s, Geo
damages.
French admits the assault. but claims that he
had great provocation to strike Meade, whom he
charges with calling him liar and striking him
with an umbrella, after which he dealt Meade
an under cut on the jaw, knocking him out in
the first round.
After hard contest in court for a day and a
hall the irate combat2nts left their with the
jury. which soon returned verdict for Meade
for 81 and costs.

A MISSING WITNESS.
Herman Scott's Failure to Appear in
Court Excftes Suspicion.

May Gibson, Of Whitechapel notoriety, charged
with grand larceny, is ready for trial, but Her
man Scott, the prosecuting witness, whom she
robbed, is missing. IL is said that she bribed
him TO leave the country, aud thereby saved her
self from the penitentiary.
The case was called for trial in Judge Humes'
court yesterday morning, when the absence OF
the states witness was first made known II
was passed until the afternoon, in hopes Scott
would put in an appearance, but he could no,
be found and the state cannot go TO trial with
out him. Efforts are being made to find him,
but there seems 70 be good reasons for believing
that the reports are true about May Gibson
having gotten him out of the way, and circum-
stances look very suspicious aud point that way.

SALOON LIMITS.
Compromise Measure Suggested by an
Alderman.

Alderman Snyder is devising compromise
measure for the solution of the saloon limit
problem, which viii probably be submitted at
the next meeting of the board of aldermen. He
proposes 70 do away with fixed saloon limits
and protect the residence districts by petition OF
the residents of the vicinity. The petitioner for
a saloon license, under the proposed scheme,
will be required 10 secure a majority OF the
property holders within radius OF one block
from the location of the saloon.
Captain SyndeT thinks the council should re-
tain the privilege Of rejecting petitions for
license, and OF revoking license at any time.
This measure. Mr.. snyder thinks, viii enable
the city to collect about $1,000 annually from
saloons now doing business beyond the limits.
