Trouble Occurred When Justin
Koukz, Who Has Been Guilty of
Improper Relations With Chick
enskz's Wife, Forced His Way
Into the House

Justin KoukZ, enamoured with Mrs.
Andrew Chickenskz, broke into the
latters home in the Long block, OPP
posite the South works of the Ameri-
can Steel & Wire Company on Millbury
Street, last night, and in a fight with
the woman's husband, bested him, and,
aided by Joseph Showelski, threw the
husband out of a second story window.
Chickenskz is at the City Hospital
with internal injuries and severe in
jury to the spine. His life is despaired
of by the doctors, who say his chances
for recovery are not the best. Chick
enskz positively identified ShoWelSki,
who is locked up at Station 2, as one of
his assailants and tells the police that
his other assailant and the one entire
ly responsible for the trouble is Justin
KourkZ.
Officers ]. T. Quimby and Genery T.
Darling, who arrived at the scene of
the trouble a half hour after it oc-
cured, secured a description of Koukz,
which makes him out to be a long,
short medium sized light haired, dark
haired man with a mousbache, or a
clean shaven face, wearing light or
dark clothing. This leaves the officers

as result chances are that Koukz will
escape detection.
Not one of the witnesses of the af-
fair can speak English and it was only
through the aid Of an interpreter that
information could be secured According
to Chickenskz, eight weeks ago Koukz
and Mrs. Chickenskz were found to-
gether by him, and some hot words
passed between the two men. Chick
enskz threatened to have Koukz ar
rested and Koukz said he would kill
him If he ever told a policeman about
the trouble. Chickenskz struck his wife
at the time and on several occasions
since the men have met and words
passed between them.
Last night Chickenskz was about to
retire and bolted the door leading into
his kitchen, when he heard a rap He
recognized Koukz's voice asking for adj
mittance. He refused to let the man
in and Koukz ably assisted by Sho-
welsh kicked the door and forced the
fastening on the bolt. The two men
rushed into the kitchen and Chickenskz
went into the bedroom occupied by
Chickenskz and his wife. .Chickenskz
followed and tried to force the men
back in to the kitchen but they, in
stead forced him up close to the win
dow and grabbing him about the feet
threw him out of the window All
window panes and the sash were
broken.
Chickenskz fell about Is feet and
struck on wire fence. The wire
struck him across the stomach and for
10 minutes he lay unconscious on the
ground. Some fhis friends picked
him up and carried him upstairs and
laid him on a bed.
Someone who witnessed the affair
telephoned Station 1 and Lieut.
James T. Johnson, through the
signal service. notified Officers OAR
ling and Quinby of the trou-
the house the room where Chickenskz
lay on the bed was crowded. He sin
gled Showelski out of the gathering
and asked that the man be placed un-
der arrest.
Koukz had made his escape in the
menatime and the officers made no
effort to locate him until the arrival
of the police ambulance with Driver
Michael F. Kennedy and officer A. O.
mayer. Friends of Showelsld tell a
story entirely different from that told
by ChickenskZ. They say the injured
man was responsible for the origin of
the trouble sa he interfered with his
assailants before they troubled him.
The Finlanders in the block celebrat-
ed Christmas by furnishing considera-
Bile liquor and all concerned in the af-
fair last night, including the injured
man, had been drinking. When placed
on the operating table at the City Hos
pital last night Chickenskz told The
Spy man the intimacy between Koukz
and his wife was the cause of the trou-
pie. Chickenskz keeps a boarding
house and is regarded by many of his
countrymen as good living man. He
Is the rather of two children and is
employed at the south works of the
American Steel & Wire Company.
