Michael accused his wife Of paying
too much heed to the sayings OF
John. The latter was accused Of
being too familiar with Mrs. Wolf
ski and trouble grew worse. Last
Saturday night John met the woman
and pressed his suit once more but
she refused to leave her husband

drinking and becoming enraged
struck her. When she went into
her house she was afraid to tell her
husband. AS an excuse for her dis
colored face she told him that she
had fallen on the pavement where
the bricks have been removed. Her
husband however learned of the as
sault and made threats concerning
Diovaski and he became alarmed
He went into an adjoining empty
house and getting a chair he placed
a rope about the kitchen rafters and
the other end in moose around
his neck. But he was discovered
in time and the Polish women gave
him a first class drubbing with
broom handles. He, promised that
he would cease his attentions to the
woman but he did not keep his
promise. On Tuesday the mas
whose home he was trying to break
I up, swore vengeance against him
and Diovaski drank three ounces of
laudanum. He was discovered this
time in the cellar and the fellow
boarders walked him for three
hours. They succeeded in getting
a doctor and the stomach pump did
the rest. He has now disappeared
and the people in Dobbinsville do
not know whether he has committed
suicide or not. -,
