THE WICKED AND UNG0DLY
People Who Strayed From the
Paths OF Righteousness.
PINCHED BY THE COPS
Peter Dempsey Knocks a Great Variety
of Spots Off From Maggie. His Wife.
Charged With Short Changing.
Scrappers and Scraps.

The experiences of Peter and Maggie
Dempsey furnish violent kind of proof
that marriage is really failure The
match is one that was made by City
Detective Jerry Murphy, not from any
particular desire on his part to play
Cupid, but at the solicitation of the
woman, who laid a grievous charge at
the door of Dempsey. This was two or
three months ago. They had not been
married more than a couple of days
before it became apparent that they
were not suited to each other. Demp-.
sey gave the woman such a beating
that their neighbors in East Broadway
felt called upon to appeal to Officer
Iorpey to Interfere, but when he did
SO he got beautifully snubbed for his
pains by the woman, who said she
could not see why anyone should inter-
fere with her husbands enjoyment.
Seeing the wife felt that way Officer
Torpey made no arrest at that time, but
it was not long before it became neces-
sary to do so, for Dempsey INDUCED in
the pastime of mauling the woman till
it could be no longer overlooked. The
pair have spent considerable time III
Jail since then and their married life
has been anything but dream of hap
piness.
Yesterday morning the couple again
found lodging in the city Jail. During
the night before, after indulging in
few cans of beer, Dempsey started in al
his old amusement and a merry battle
was in progress in the rear of 400 East
Galena street when Officer Jack Gray
put in an appearance. When he at
tempted to arrest Dempsey the wife
and the neghbors lent the man so much
announcement to resist that Officer
Gray was able to take the husky
bully and found it necessary to go after
assistance. By the time he. returned
the pair had vamoosed, but knowing
they would return later, the officer
waited. Early yesterday morning Act
Ing Sergeant Tom Walsh and Officer
Hughes concluded to see if the couple
had returned and, going to their home,
found them. Dempsey was again dis
posed to show fight, but this time both
he and the woman landed in jail. Each
had pair of elegant mahogany finish
ed lamps, which furnished strong evil
dence against themselves when they
tried to explain to Judge Sullivan yes
terday how it all happened.
James Cavanaugh, bartender at the
White Front saloon in East Galena
street. was arrested yesterday morning
for short changing one Pat Holland to
the extent of 81 when he attended the
| regular Thursday night dance given in
the rear of the saloon.
E. Jay Brown, colored performer at
one of the variety theatres, clashed
with B. Yosufeiki the keeper of. "a ia
panese restaurant in Park street yes
terday morning and as a consequence
| both landed in Jail for disturbance.
| Brown allowed he didn't have to pay
for his breakfast and the Jap thought
he should. A lively international strug-
gle was in progress when a policeman
arrived on the scene and run both in
An individual who appears in the po-
lice register as an unknown was picked
up in Wyoming street by Officer Byrnes
in a pretty hard plight yesterday morn
ing. When the officer came across the
fellow he was clad in natures garb
only and carried a pair of wonderful
eyes which gave him the appearance of
having been hit by both of the rear ex-
! tremities of mule at the same time
He had not sufficiently recovered from
his trance yesterday to be able to ex-
| plain how he got into such an unusual
| situation.
