during several years residence here
is in police court at Oskaloosa. The
Herald says of the case: Della Will
son, wife of w. H. Wilson Of 515 North
l.. street, filed information against
Monroe Wilson, for assault and battery,
charging that said Wilson assaulted,
struck and choked her. The case came
up before Justice Stanley and turned
out to be typical family row. Monroe
Wilson is younger brother of William
II. and they are said to spend con-
siderable time in rowing among them
selves. The mother OF Monroe claimed
that Della struck Monroe over the eye
with poker After consideration JUS
tice Stanley dismissed the case on con-
dition that the two families remain on
their own premises and not disturb
each other Mrs. Della Wilson is per-
haps % years OF age and there are
three or four children in the family
and she seems to be anxious to do the
right thing, but when the relatives and
neighbors come to the house and try
to get her husband off on some drunken
carousal there is generally fuss. The
associates of the Wilson's are said to
be anything but good" .----..-..-
