Hubbies Must Go Back,

8 ST. PAUL, Mimi. May 5--The county
board of control has decided to seek
requisition papers in order to secure the
return to this State of thirty husbands
who have deserted their wives. The last
Legislature passed law, making wife de-
sertion felony, punishable by imprison-
ment in the penitentiary from one to
three years, with provision for suspen-
sion of sentence, providing the delinquent
husband shall give bond to the State to
support his wife and family.
The county board of control, which has
charge of the county charitable institu-
ton, has had number of families where
the husbands have deserted and left the
State. They asked an option OF the
county attorney as to the possibility OF
securing the deterters' return, and the at
torney having decided that this is possf-
Bile, the board will ask for requisition in
thirty cases.

local News From the City OF Mills
and Factories.
Serious Break.

A force of men from the city water
works were busily engaged yesterday in
placing a new pipe and elbow under the
wall at the Laughlin tin plant, and last
evening, after the work had been COM
pleted, the stem of the waive broke, and
they were unable to turn on the water,
and also could not repair it on account
of having to turn the water off from the
Benwood Furnace Company, which
would cause considerable loss to the
latter plant. 1t is hardly probable
that it can be repaired before next
Sunday. 1t is thought the stem in the
valve was defective owing to the leak.
Half of the Laughhn could not resume
last evening, and may be off to-day, al
though arrangements will be made to-
day to supply this part Of the mill from
the fire plugs, and it will be sufficient
until the break is repaired.
