A Domestic Episode,

When Mr.. Eastwood arrived at the
dock this morning prior to the time for
the boat to pull out, everything looked
serene. But later a medium. sized
woman, with look of determination on
her face, mixed with John L. express
sion, bought ticket for Portland. and
then cast her lights on lanky farmer
from the country south of this place,
who, by the way, was her husband. and
said, with more determination than
politeness, ''I want those children I''
at the same time pointing to two little
Iones, who were standing by the side of
their paternal. He refused to give them
lup, and in another instant there was an
Understandable mix-up, as his "better
ihalf' proceeded to forcibly take her off
isprig, uttering in the meantime such
exclamations as 'You can't have my
children!'' ''I'll break your nose!' "'I'll
scratch your eyes out!''
As the boat gave the final whistle be-
fore starting, she stopped to take breath
and size up the results of the encounter.
One glance was sufficient, and when she
noticed that the blood was flowing free
ly from number of scars and scratches
on the husbands face, but that she was
anable to get possession of the children.
she proceeded up town to get the assist
ance of the authorities. We could
not find out how the matter was settled
up. but we can say on thing, that many
a person has been punished for assault
and battery who did not do up his mar
in anything like the artistic manner il
which she handled her victim.
