We have had quite bit of comedy
and drama produced free of charge at
this place for some time past. A Pole
and his wife had a scunle here the other
day and as every hour was making the
breach between them wider they took it
to Freeland where they had it settled
with the aid of a squire. To make sure
that it would not happen again thew
decided to separate, and in order to
celebrate the event the husband bought
a keg of beer and brought it home with
him. Not having a spigot he went out
in search of one and while he was absent
some of his young American friends
rushed into the house, seized the keg
and disappeared. When the Pole re-
turned and found the keg was missing
he went around like raving maniac
and in the latter part Of the night secur-
ed revolver and scattered lead through
the streets until morning. The wife,
who claimed an interest in the house
hold effects, came to town in the early
part of last week under the protection of
policeman to remove the furniture and
then came the finale. All went well
and quietly until the wagon in which it
was loaded started, when the husband
seized frying pan and stove-lifter
. and proceeded to drum the wife and her
goods out of town. Two old fuu-loving
Turks of town also contributed to the
scene. One seized wash boiler and
helped to swell the music, while the
other encouraged both by voice and
gesture.
