London.-London is agog over the
fight of the beautiful M%archioness
Townshend to retain the custody OF
her titled husband, which was given
her by the lunacy board. Instead OF
his dazzling bride of less than a year,
the marquis seemed to prefer the com
pany of a male friend, was violently
eccentric, and could not be kept at
home without restraint, it is claimed
The dowager marchioness has taken
an appeal from the ruling, and says
she isn't allowed TO see her son.
Allegations in the Case.
The allegation that in the beginning
Of the twentieth century a marquis
of ancient lineage and royal conneC.
tons has been made the victim OF a
sham lunacy inquiry; that he is a
prisoner in his own house, that his
mother, Dowager Warehouses Town
shend, who is denied access to him,
protests his absolute sanity, and that
this conspiracy should be carried out
In the heart of Mayfair, are certainly
startling facts.
The Townshend family is one Of the
oldest in England. Its founder was a
lawyer Of great eminence in the reign
of Edward ~, while the hero Tor
the victim, as the case may be-, of the
present episode is the sixth marquis,
and third in point of precedence in
the role of marquises In the English
peerage.
When the present marquis succeed

CITY NEWS

Skating at John D's tonight.
 Laura Bell of Monroe's college has taken a position as bookkeeper with H. Dayidoff, wholesale leather store.
 The wise heads on the board of al- dermen think single fire house good enough for Baldwin street and may decide to cut the appropriation so that the thing will be far from what Chief Snagg and the board of public safety say the situation demands. Besides this they contend that there is some question in their minds as to whether the sight is very desirable This is even stranger than the other contention. The lot bought pleased the former board of public safety and it met with the approval of the present board. It is just the spot the fire marshal thought best, seeing a new house was to be erected in that district. If they plan for one horse affair down that way it will be a great mistake. The place has been left for last in the matter Of fire protection and now that it is coming, provision should be made to meet the requirements of por- tion of the town already populous and sure to be more so in few years

ri Reno, Okla. Capt. Edgar b.
MackIin OF Company G, Twenty-fifth
United States infantry, was shot twice
and dangerously wounded tonight by a
negro, and the belief Is expressed here
that it was one of the members OF the
troop discharged by President Roose-

vile riots. The shooting occurred at
the officers quarters, when Capt. Mack
lin and his wife were seated at the din.
ner table. One bulletin entered Capt,
Macklin's abdomen, the second struck
him N the jaw, The surgeon says that
while his wounds are dangerous, they
are not necessarily fatal.
On Dec. IA the secretary of war. upon
recommendation of the general staff,
ordered the trial by court-martial of
Capt, Macklin for conduct to the
prejudice Of good order and discipline
