THEY CAPTURED HIS WIFE,
Suit Filed by an Angry Hus-
band Against His Wife's
Protectors.
LOST A GOOD BUSINESS, TOO.
Hapless Experience of Kasper Sim
men, Who Ventured Into Trade
and Matrimony.

| Kasper Simmer has filed a red-hot suit
| in the Justices Court against r. Scholz and
Lena Scholz his wife. Simmer has charged
them with enticing away his wife and he
| demands a lot of compromising damages.
| The Simmens are young married
| couple while the Scholzes have been sailing
on the matrimonial sea for great number
| of years. They keep clothing-store at
| 404 Fifth street. One of the queerest de-
| tails of the very queer suit is that the SIM
| mems were married only last May. The
| following month the rumpus occurred that
| nearly wrecked the two families. 1t divided
| the Simmer family. Elizabeth Simmer
| is now living with the Scholzes, while the
angry beligerent husband is venting his
spleen and making preparations to get
some satisfaction by means of suits for
damages.
Mrs. Simmen's sister is married to her
husbands brother and that circumstance
cuts great figure in leading up to their
own marriage. Once united Mrs Simmer
began to urge her husband to get into
some business. "All right" he answered,
I'll invest in it,
Mrs. Simmer put on her bonnet and in
little while she returned with PROPOSE
ito from Robert Scholz. Scholz offered
to sell half interest in his business to the
husband of his friend, Mrs. Simmer.
After few days in dickering the trans
fer was made and the trouble began.
Simmer gave an linking of its nature in
the complaint he filed in the Justices
Court yesterday through his attorneys,
Nagle d Nagle.
The couple married on Nav 81. In less
than month, that is on June q, accord
ing to Simmer, "the Scholzes maliciously
entlced away nv wife from me and kept
her where | couldn't see her. They played
on her feelings till they got her to sue me
for divorce. But the divorce was denied
on my wife S own testimony. was obliged
to pay out 500 in defending the suit, and
now l want Mr.. Scholz to return that
amount to me. 1t is no more than fair
after the trouble he has caused me.
[ tried my best to get possession of my
wife. bat they refused to surrender her to
me. So l lost both her society and serv-
ices. That's where the law says I'M enti-
tied to damages, anc I've sued the ScholZes
| for $299."
The Scholz family and Mrs. Simmer
| laugh at the suit and stoutly declare that
| they are only too willing to meet Simmer
| on the charge of capturing and secreting"
illo htiC. IiCy soy eLue
all the trouble upon himself by his actions.
| After the explosion in the families and
| capture of Mrs. Simmer by the Scholzes,"
| Simmer made sortie on the household
recaptured some OF his effects and went to
live elsewhere. In order to safeguard the
money he had invested in half interest
in the clothing-store he assigned his right
to J. Satorius for the nominal sum of $500.
Satorius tried to get some of the property,
but he was denied admission, possession,
acknowledgment and everything else by
the barricaded Scholz. Scholz fatty refused
to treat with him on any terms. Satorius
brought suit on the assignment of the one
half interest. The case is still pending in
| the courts.
| Simmer has lost his wife and his prop
erty, and now he is going to try and re-
coup himself in the way of damages.
