TRIED TO SCALP HIS WIFE.
Young Mau, the Front Street poul-
try dealer, who recently took unto
himself 15-year-old Porto Rican
wife, and who tried to scalp her with
"a long knife last Monday evening, is
furnishing the Jail authorities with an
unlimited amount of fine acting. His
performance is of the continuous vau-

Grafton that puts it through.
Government lands between this
thoroughfare and tide water should be
disposed of with caution by the author

day be largely interested in the char
acter of her waterfront, and present
territorial officials should keep this
consideration in mind
