CUT HIS GUESTS HUSBAND
George Emer Objects to His Wife's
Friends and Gets in the Hospital.

When George Elmer. who Is employed
on the Northern Railroad. returned to his
home. at No. S7s Tonnele avenue, or Mon
day night and found that his wife had
gone visiting instead Of getting his supper
ready, he was angry, and when he found
Mrs. Elmer enjoying a pint of beer with
Mr.. and Mrs. Emil Bruberger, whose
house on tn eoppisite side Of the street
he had forbidden his wife to visit, he was
still further incensed.
Elmer. when he entered Bruberger's
house, had ordered his wife to leave at
once Mrs. Elmer was not in a hurry to
comply, and her husband n Bruberger
becaume engaged in an alteration. Bru-
berger saws Elmer threatened him with a
mallet and he drew his jackknife in self
defense. 1t had a blade fully five inches
long. Bruberger first slashed Elmer across
the head with this weapon and then made
a lunge, inHicting q deep and ugly wound
in Emer's right breast.
The wives has separated the combatants
and notified the police. The partol
wagon was umoned and both men were
taken to the Webster avenue station. City
Physician Hennz examined Emer's
wounds and finding them more serious
h was at first supposed, ordered his
removal to the City Hospital.
Bauberger was locked up on a charge OF
atrocious assault and battery.

Now ii cannot be made too plain that
is a hopeless impossibility as q
nagtical leader. He is even more hope
lass than he was in 1896, because the
nove,tv has passed away from him and
the hysteria of the general public mas
nassed away. The man stands now in the
