more times.

pen again if I can help it. There's only
one way to deal with such cattle"
Oldfeld was compelled to take off his
coat, and the alderman took off his coat
and cuffs. Then he pulled Oldneld out
of the prisoners pen, sent two constables
to keep the doors shut, cautioned the
spectators to remain quiet and then told
Oldfeld to defend himself
Donohue opened the battle by knock
ing Oldfield down with right-hand blow
in the face The prisoner hastily arose
and tried to take revenge. but the Alder
man rained blows on him with precision
and force.
Twice more Oldfield went down but
arose. Finally he clinched. only to be
thrown heavily. Then he rushed for the
door, but the cheering spectators threw
him back. He clinched again. and both
men fell. Donohue got on top and ig-
noring all rules, punched the prisoner
until he promised never to beat his wife
again.
Now go home painted Donohue, ''and
behave yourself like a man
As Donohue resumed his coat another
wife beater. David Rowlands, covered in
the prisoners pen. The alderman asked
him if the object lesson was not a good
one. ROwlands agreed TREMENDOUSLY and
was discharged.

riage record on the lining of his silk hat.
Some years later the wife applied for a
divorce, and the hat was found in the
