stiffness in police circles, this afternoon,
when he brought in Louis Schuste, So
years old Schuste is a laborer He
lives at Al Chace street, with his wife
and daughter, a. girl Is years old. At
o'clock this afternoon the officer was
called to the Schuste house and found
the fellow had been choking his wife,
as finger marks on her throat showed.
At her request, and the mans promise
to hebave himself, the officer gave him
a chance. At 430 o'clock, as Mclean
was coming down Oak street, he saw
Mrs. Schuste and her daughter running
from the house. They were bareheaded,
and without outer clothing to protect
them from the biting cold. They were
closely pursued by Schuste, who was
crying that he would dispose of his wife
on the spot. Mclean gave him short
shrift. Schuste accompanied the officer
as meekly as a tame kitten. His wife
continued to plead for mercy for him.
BY her request the charge of assault Is
not written against his name on the
police blotter but only drunkenness.
