Fatal Dance Row at Gratiot.

A young man named Hale, of
the town OF Wayne, is dead as re-
suit of row provoked by himself at
Gratiot last Friday night. The cir
cunstanees, as reported here are:
That a dance was announced to be
held in Collins hall, Gratiot a
party including Hale came from
Wayne, and it soon became appa-
rent that they were bent on a row.
The man who is dead began by
striking one Campbell, who was
present by request of Collins, pro
prietor Of the ball, to assist ia keep
ing order. Collins, who is a cripple,
on seeing Campbell struck, immedi-
ately struck his assailant, Hale,
with a cane. Hale followed up his
assault upon Campbell, when the
latter, rallyin2 from the blow he had
received. seized chair and with it
struck Hale on the head. lnterler-
ence stopped further fighting, and
the dance was declared of. The
Wayne party cot out their team TO
start for home, Hale helping 70
hitch UP. As they started their
team attempted to run away. broke
the pole, upset TIE sleigh and threw
the party out. including Haie. On
their way home they had ono or two
other upsets. 90 arriving home,
about two miles from South Wayne,
they All went to bed. Saturday
morning Hale could not BE aroused.
Two doctors were called, but be
could not AZ rallied, and died Satur-

DR.. Tallman Still Lives and Revels.

The notorious Dr. Tallman has
been discovered at Fargo, n. D..
where he and the womnn Cannon
were registered at hotel as, H,
Winters and sister One report
says that Tallman when first recog-
nized by some former acquaintance
denied his identity and smashed a
beer bottle over the mans head.
Latter he admitted himself to be DR..
W. l.. Tallman, and gave out that he
and the woman. Mrs. Cannon were
to be married in few days, as they
had been only waiting for his late
wife, Theresa Dean, to obtain a
divorce, which was granted last
Saturday week, by Judge Horton.
IN her petition for divorce Mrs.
Theresa Dean Tallman represented
that the Doctors income was from
$4,000 TO $4,000 per year, and the
court awarded her $3.50 per month
alimony. The Judgment is probably
as valuable as the one against the
same lothario for monthly allow
auce to his child, rendered when his
first wife, then Of this city, was
granted divorce from him. IIo has
wholly failed to meet that Judgment,
though il Is believed he has been
amply able 10 DO so, and his child
has suffered for want or IT, That
such a man can escape punishment
is disgraceful commentary on the
inadequaey Of law to accomplish
justice.
Subsequent to the above writing,
the Milwaukee Sentinel brings in
formation that Dr.. Tallman was in
the cream city last Sunday, accom-
panied by the Cannon woman. To n
reporter the Doctor said that his
lately Divorced wife could not have
been surprised at his leaving her, as
it has been understood between them
for some time that they were to sep
arate. He also informed the re-
porter that he and Mrs. Cannon were
duly made man and wife at Fargo,
North Oak ota, Dec. l1th, the woman
having secured a devorce from her
former husband only week pre-
vious, under the convenient laws of
Dakota. No one need waste sympa-
thy on the late Mrs. Tallman, now
again Theresa Dean. She was q
party to the Doctors shameful aban-
donment Of his first wife and child
in this city, and now that he has
treated her 30 II like portion she gets
no more than she deserves and might
have expected. The third Mrs. Tall
man, being evidently like unto the
second in moral turpitude, probably
is prepared for similar unsavory
experience should they both live a
few years.
