Had a citizen stepped into the police
station Friday afternoon about 3
o'clock he would have believed that al,
counting room of bank had been tenn
porarily established there, in view of
the currency which was lying upon the
turkeys desk for about twenty min
utes. An interesting story is attached
thereto.
Joseph Bathine, a Syrian, called
the mayors office and complained tha
his wife was living with another' Sy
rian named Nighap Aftines, who wal
engaged as keeper of some Of the ami
mails of the Canton Carnival company
in barn in West Third street. TN
affidavit alleges that on October 18Th
the said Bathines wife left her hom
and ran away with Aftines. II
husband stated that his wife left Bosj
a number of weeks ago. He follo
her and caught her at Pittsburg.
was forced to accompany him
again. AS the train slowed up
Washington, ID. c., it is alleged
Mrs. Bathine jumped off the train
disappeared, and that the next learnae9
concerning her was that she was herd
in company with Aftines. The hus-'
band is alleged to have called at the
barn a few days ago, when his wife
started out of door and could not be
found again.
Marshal Reinhart and officer Joseph
Ryan arrested Aftines on the warrant
Friday afternoon and took him to The
police station where he was searched.
In q belt around his body was found
$3.50 in bills, gold ani silver. Aftines
claims he has saved this money over a
number Of years and that it lawfully
belongs to him. When locked up for
arraignment before the mayor he stated
that this was merely an attempt to
get him into trouble and that he was
not guilty as charged in the warrant.
He was afterward arraigned before the
mayor, when he pleaded not guilty to
cohabitating with Mrs. Bathine, and he
gave 5000 security for his appearance
for preliminary trial Tuesday morning
at Q o'clock.
IN BOwMAN'S COURT.
The controversy between Joseph
Bathine and Nighaps Aftines, over the
wife of the former. has found it's way
into Justice Bowman's court. When
Aftines was arrested for consorting
with Bathine's wife. Marshal Reinhart
secured $3.50 of his money. Bathine sees
in this roll of cash some balm for his
wounded affections and through Peter
]. Collins he has now started suit be-
fore Justice Bowman for $500 damages.
He says in his petition that about De-
tober 10, 1899, while he and his wife
Nagbie Bathine were living happily to-
gether Aftines came and coaxed her
away and since has kept her at his
house so that the plaintiff has been
defrauded of her service and her love
and has had shame and dishonor heap
ed upon his head. The money in Mar
shall Reinhart's hands has been attach
| ed, the papers being served by Con-
stable Wolff Saturday morning.
The case has been set for trial before
the squire for next Tuesday.
MONEY REPLEvINED.
| A very complicated affair has grown
|
that after the writ of attachment had
| been served upon the marshal who had
the money in his possession, and after
the money had been turned over to the
official serving the paper, Constable
Wielandt appeared on the scene with
writ of replevin and the money was
then turned over to him, the $3.50. The
marshal received out of this 5000 for the
Aftines appearance Tuesday, while the
balance, $780, was turned over to c. C.
Bow, who is Aftines attorney.
Mrs. Bathine called at the mayor s
office Saturday morning and stated that
her husband had threatened her and
she didn't want to live with him. and
asked to have him placed under a
peace bond. She told a News-Demo-
crat reporter that her husband had mis-
treated her and that she did not run
away with Aftines, as alleged. She
said she was compelled to peddie to
make living and didn't want to live
| with her husband
