exaggeration in saying that Rondo
has a personal acquaintance with
more people than the average politi-
clan.
The early part of Rondo's life is in
volved in some doubt and a great
deal of obscurity. 1t is known, how
ever. that he first saw the light of
day in the Manager of livery stable
in 1855, and as he sprang from Scotch
English ancestry everything in the
shape of rat he beheld from the
very first with violent antipathy.
He soon made himself terror to the
rodent family, and his accomplish
ments in this direction led an admir-
ing Kentucky gentleman to adopt
Rondo and take upon himself the
the supervision of his care
and training, hoping that "age
would perform the promises of
youth" The two soon became
conspicuous about town, and their at
tachment for each other sometimes
caused the boys to sing Comrades"
as they passed along the street.
In year or two Rondo succeeded
in DISCRIMINATING all the rates within
his reach and then became living
example of the adage that "An idle
brain is the DEVILS workshop" He
began to form bad habits and became
frequent visitor of saloons. gambling

such pace that his admiring bene-
factor did not care to follow, and the
two began drifting apart.
About this time young pension
agent located in the town of Rondo's
birth, and case of mutual love at
first sight sprang up between them.
In little while the pension agent
entirely supplanted the Kentucky
gentleman in Rondos affection, where
upon the latter promptly disowned
and cast him off. But this did not
affect Rondo to any extent. His new
master furnished him with night
key and let him go where he pleased,
and Rondo pleased to be pretty
high roller.

Rondo woke up and found that
his friend had gone. He watch

many days, smelling every newcomer
after the fashion of his kind, but the
days heightened into months and he
came not. Then Rondo had no one to
pay his board bill at the hotel and he
was forced to become dead beat.
To dog of his hyphenated ancestry
this was very distasteful, but he was
friendless and alone and there was no
other alternative. After figuring as
decayed vegetable for year or
two, he lost all self-respect and went
to the dogs at rapid rate. His asso-
ciates were the worst in town and
bad company eventually got him into
trouble.

but is rarely at work. He always preferred
to spend his time in getting intoxicated
and beating his wife, Helena, who is two
years younger. The couple had no child

Who is over seventy, at No. 1924 Madison

speariing was sent to the penitentiary for
wife-beating. His wife has meanwhile
been supporting herself and old Mrs.

Wednesday Speaking was released. and as
VISUAL he celebrated the event by drinking
heavily.
About 10 o'clock yesterday morning he
came in and told his wife to go into the
bed room and change her clothes, rs he
wanted her to 20 to the station house with
him. He declared that she had been un.
faithful to him. and that he was going to
get a divorce. Spearling followed his
wife into tho bed room. and his mother,
who remained in tho kitchen, heard them
tulking excitedly.
Mrs. spearl,ng started to go back into
the kitchen when her husband drew a
razor from his pocket, and springing upon
her from behind drew tho razor across her
throat. The blade cut a deep cash from
