Harry Silberbergs latest matrt-
monial victim-a Minneapolis. girl
has brought suit for divorce. So far
as the globe trotting confidence man,s
record is known, there have been
three other women whose desire for
freedom has placed Silberberg in
position to WOO the next victim with
out committing the bigamy. AS it is,
he has enough crimes charged against
him.
The Minneapolis plaintiff is Bonnie
Hinkle of a prominent family here,
who married the swindler and now
sues him under his alias John Jaffrey
Carlisle. According to the complaint
filed this morning, the young Napoleon
of crookedness won his way into the
plaintiffs affections by false repre-
sensations and covered up his real
record by well-told stories Of his re-
Carlisle Of Kentucky and his associa-
ton with other wealthy and prom
married in st. Paul, Oct. 20, 1903.
From here they went east, and in
December silberberg, or Carlisle, was
arrested in Washington, D. c., on g.
warrant ordered from a Hennepin
young man with defrauding Miss
Clarice Heebner Of Minneapolis out
Of $3.50. Silberherg: was brought
back, pretended to be dying with con-
sumption and was released on $1,000
cash ball. which he afterwards for
feited.
Cruel Treatment Alleged.
Cruel and inhuman treatment on the
part of the defendant is alleged and
Mrs. Carlisle swears that, beginning
Immediately after their marriage, he

cruelty assaulted her, but made her
miserable with threats nd continuous
efforts to compel her to extort money
from her prents in Minneapolis. His
treatment is alleged.to have endan-
geredF her life and permanently shat
tered her health.
The plaintiff further alleges that,
from time to time during their mar
ried life defendant, by fraud, false
representations and forgeries, with
out her knowledge or consent, pro-
cured sums Of money from her
parents which he spent in dissipation
and debauchery."
Instead Of being a nephew of SEN
ator Carlisle, the plaintiff alleges that
she found her husband to be a noto-
rious criminal, the companion of
criminals and fugitive from justice.
. The plaintiff sets UP that since the
defendants arrest in Washington she
has not lived with him as his wife
but has been cared for by her parents
and friends. She asks in conclusion
for "a decree Of absolute divorce, q

the costs and disbursements in the
present action.
An affidavit is filed with the com.
plant in which it is alleged that the
present whereabouts Of the defendant
are unknown and motion for the
service of the summons and complaint

Judge Holt Gathers Statistics as to Prob
able Suffering.
Municipal Judge Holt doesn't think that
a particularly: community will suffer If
one of it's many saloons is closed for
few hours and he so commented in open
court this morning.
Knute Twedt was arraigned on charge
of drunkenness and said he could prove
that he was sober by a certain saloon
keeper. He did not appear anxious, how
ever. to have the liquor dealer come to
court, saying that he was too busy and
would have to close shop for time if he
gave his testimony.
"Are there other saloons In the vicin-
ity?' asked the court.
ooh, lots of en- said Twedt.
"Well, I guess the community won't
suffer If one bar is closed down for a few
hours" returned the court, $50 we will
subpoena your witness for you. Tho Wit
ness, however, couldn't swear that Knute
was sober and a few minutes later he was
ON his way to Camden Place.

John H. Van Nest, alderman and park
commissioner, wants to drive the suckers
out Of Lake Harriet, but he does not
know how to do 1t. The suckers, to-

suckers by their habit of consuming the
spawn of other fish do great damage. No-
body wants a sucker and the result is
that they are multiplying rapidly at Har-

It will be possible next spring when
the suckers themselves are spawning to

planned that it was not his intention to
fave critical studies of the plays but to
call the students attention to the classical
productions Of literature instead of the
light material so largely read. Interesting

Minneapolis and Milwaukee baseball

afternoon. The Minneapolis team left
Kansas City last night expecting to reach
