TWO HUSBANDS CLAIM Her
But Satterfield Relinquished His
Rights to Vail.
The Bigamy Case Against Mrs. Mol
lie Wahl-Satterfield Nol-Drossed.
A Peculiar Case.

Prosecutor Mullowny of the police court,
is an expert in unrayeling tangled matri-
monial skens, and bringing husband and
wife together.
This morning he quickly settled in his
office, without trial, the bgamy case
described in The Morning Times in which
John A. Wahl, an employe of the Knox
Express Company, and John E. Satterfield,
a plumber, both claimed young woman,
formerly Mollie f. Smith as their wife.
Mrs. Vail, or Satterfield, had been living
alternately with each claimant, and when
they both confronted her with marriage
certificates and claimed her, the matter
assumed a well-defined form OF bigamy.
Accordingly Detective Hartigan arrested
the woman and locked her up, on complaint
of Wahl.
After spending the night with the matron
of the Twelfth street station the alleged
wife appeared at the police court this morn
ing looking as pretty as spring lose.
Eoth husbands were on hand, and Sat
terrified, seeing the serious turn affairs
had taken, agreed to waive all claims aud
leave the woman in the undisputed posses
sion of Wahl. Prosecutor Mullowny then,
at the request of VAIL, withdrew the COM
plant against his wife, and the case was
nol-prossed
Mrs VAIL kissed her husband, prom
ised to be good in the future, and he pair
departed happily from the courthouse, after
thanking the prosecutor.

Hot for the Greeks.
London, May S.-A dispatch from Phar-
sala, dated yesterday, gives some de-
tails of the fighting at Velestino, which
began early yesterday morning, and
which, after lasting several hours, resulted
in the defeat and retreat of the Greeks
toward Volo and Almyros
\ Turkish division succeeded in fore
ing its way through the lines of the Greek
entertainments on the heights of Veles-
tino The fight there was of short dura-
tion. Both sides fought with great cour-
age and determination, but the fire of the
Turkish infantry eventually decided the
result.
Toward the end of the action the Turkish
artillery fire was directed with the utmost
accuracy, the battery commanders taking
a great deal more care in judging their
distances. The Turkish loss in the fight
ing at velestino was heavy, but the number
killed is not announced. Two hospitals at
Larissa are almost full of wounded

John La wson, and W lille Washington claims
them their reputation on the cindertraeki is a
national one.
The race will be for the best three h eats
out of five, and the men will be paced by
sextet and triplet purse OF $3.50
will he the prize for which they VIII
struggle, the winner also to take certain
percentage of the gate receipts This race
is the result Of u long standing rivalry
between the two men, and the event will
attract the greatest interest especially in
this city where the men are so well known.
Fred Sims reputation is so well estab-
Lshed and his record so well known in this
city that it is hardly necessary to give
detailed account of his work on the track.
For two years he was regarded as one OF
the speediest amateurs riding, and he won
prizes and established records at every
meet in which he participated. During
the latter part OF 80 he was severely III
iured on two occasions, and dtdlittleracing
from that time until the close Of the sea-
son.
Last year he was unfortunate at the be-
ginning of the sea son, and shortly after ward
he gotinto some difficulty with the national
racing board Chairman Gideon suspended
him temporarily, and though he was not
reinstated during the season, he probably
would have been had he pressed thematter
This year will mark Sims entry into the
professional class, and as he has had good
rest il is thought that be will show all
his old-time speed.
John Lawson, the Terrible Swede, is
probably the most popular Of purely pro
fessional riders ever seen in this city
As d contestant in both the siX-day races
last winter, he established himself firmly
in the affections OF the wheeling public
His fair riding and many misrOrtunes won
him many friends. As long distance ice
skater he also made a splendid reputa-
ton here, having broken records from
twelve miles up to fifty. He was at one
time the long distance champion skater Of
his native country, Sweden, and today his
performances as n long distance cycle
rider stand uuequaled in that country
Though having made his home In Chicago,
he has spent much timein this city, andhe
is likely to make it his home.
He also holds many American long dis
lance cycle records

the Turkish minister has orally repre-
sented TO this department that OrganiZa-

Although the department regards the
laws of the State Of New York as ample
for the suppression of lawlessness and for
the punishment OF all offenders, and is
confident that you win not hesitate TO
enforce them, the actual case arising, it
has been thought prudent TO thus acquain1

The failure of ninety nine men (aDd

money, earn home or fortune, make
name for themselves or obtain whatever
goal they aim at, is due TO improper living.
Unnatural food a nd drink gradually under

Toe dyspepsia, constipation, heart trou-

it may show in bad blood, tumors, piles,
weak eyes, loss of hearing and headtroubles,
all these and many more are caused by
stomach and nervous disorder, and they
cannot exist when stomach and neTv es work

Let us seek by natural living to be well
