THE SIMINOFF
 FAMILY WAR Three Brothers and a Brother in Law in the
 Fight. Aaron and Louis Have to Answer to Two Charges of
 Battery.

Aaron Siminoff and Louis Siminoff, brothers appeared In Judge Lows court yesterday to answer a charge or battery Another charge against them had been called a few days before and 1t was continued until Friday. Both charges will be heard on the same day.
 The complaining witnesses are Morris Siminoff, a brother of Aaron and Louis, who has a cloak factory at 122S Market street, and Toby Roberts, brother-in- law.
 In connection with the charges there is a story full of interest and not devoid Of its humorous features. Aaron Is manu- facturer of cloaks at 211 Sutter street, and when seen yesterday he spoke frank ly of the troubles of the family.
 1T used to work for my brother Nor ris," he said, but left him recently, as he did not carry out his pledges to me. He blamed me for taking cloth from his factory and selling 1t to get money for drink, which was untrue. My brother Louis met him on Golden Gate avenue Sunday, April "A. and they had a mix up over what he had said about me-. happened to pass on my bicycle at the time and jumped off and separated them. Then Morris struck me and l punched him.
 II have to wear wig. as I lost my hair through sickness and Morris em- pioyed three men to do me up. He offered to give them S2O If they stole my wig and blackened my eyes; S3O If they also broke my nose, and $lO0 if they broke my neck. Morris deposited $30 with the bartender in Kapp & Streets saloon, which was to be paid to the three men on carrying out their contract.
 "The three men came to me and told me what Morris had done. gave them an old wig of mine and 1t was arranged that should paint my eyes black and streak my face with red ink and go where Morris could see me. Then the three men went to him with the old wig and told him how they had done me up. He tore the wig to pieces and was so delighted that he took them to Kapp Streets and handed them the s30. They will ap- pear as witnesses for me when the cases come on.
 Last Sunday Roberts met my brother and me on Golden Gate avenue and he be- gan to abuse me. I had a badge of the national colors in my button hole and Roberts said that I was nice American to wear that rag in my buttonhole, think ing 1t would make me all right. He had a large pair of pliers in his hand and he raised them up as ifs he was going to strike me. My brother jumped in and they rolled onto the street. I separated them and he again made for me with the pliers and punched him.
 Aaron intends to take action against his brother, Morris, for employing the three men to assault him, and lively time ts expected before the whole affair Is settled in court.

 According to the report made by Miss Wallace, Klein was acquainted with a young man who had for years kept com pany with one of her dearest friends. In

After a time the man became brutal and frequently beat her, but she had become attched to him and took the abuse without complaint. This went on from time to time, until the young man re- ceiVed a letter from home disowning him. and he then became even more brutal in his treatment toward her, and a quarrel which resulted in their separation took place. Then her SealSkin sack was taken and paWned by her former lover, ana the trouble seemed to grow darker. Klein came back on two occasions, but merely ate Miss Wallace reported the matter to "He has often told me-" she said, ''that he was wanted in the East for forging his afraid to give his right name in this city, but he again stated that he thought a bold move was the safest way. and in consequence went about the streets in a careless manner and soon recovered from his fright
 "On one occasion he attempted to cut his throat with a razor which he kept in the room, and but for my intervention he would now be a corpse. At times he was exceedingly jolly, again brutal and then it of remorse would come over him and he would try to end his life and mine as well. became frightened and had the doors locked so that he could not get into my apartments and also told fhe proprietor of the house not to let him in

For thirteen years Mrs. George 1. Rogers,

from the undesirable tortures Of inflam-

Only persons who have been afflicted
with this disease know what such suffer-

Those who have never felt the pangs Of
this ailment have not the re.rzotest idea Of
its tortures.
For years this was an obstinate disease
to cure.
In recent years, however, there has been
formulated a remedy which successfully
copes with II.
The many cores effected by Dr.. Williams
