Tragic Result of Practical Joke on
Jealous Wife.

1t is bad enough for a man to have
a jealous wife, but when he under
takes to skate where the ice is thin
and dangerous he must take the con-
sequences. Unfortunately, the West
Virginia husband did not live to rea-
lize it. Mr.. Charles Smith, mayor of
the town of Brooklyn, had jealous
spouse. There may or may not have
been any reason for it. At any rate, the
mayor determined to play a practical
joke which resulted more fatally than
he had imagined. Smith had one of
his friends dress himself in woman's
attire. At the gate he called the
mayor from the house, and when Mrs.
Smith saw the garments she was
turned into white frenzy. She
rushed out, shot her husband through
the lungs and then sent bullet into
her own head. Some men with jeal-
GUS wives never did have any sense

TAKES ACTION
Dockets Joint Injunction Gases Pend
ing a Hearing.

Judge J. c. Pollock of the United
States district court sitting on Monday
afternoon at Leavenworth, docketed
the Injunction cases against w. nc.
Stephenson, A. c. Townsend and G. W.
Blackburn OF Topeka in his court, at
the request of their attorneys.
These three cases are all on the
docket of the Shawnee county district
court under Judge Dana. Stephenson,
Blackburn and Townsend have had
former Assistant Attorney General
Carver for either selling liquor. main
tanning nuisances, or owning or rent
ing buildings in which nuisances were
being operated.
Their attorneys are trying to change
the jurisdiction of the cases from the
Shawnee county to the United States
district court To that end they ap-
peared before Judge Pollock yesterday
at Leavenworth where the regular
Judge Pollock place the cases on his
docket. They argued that the cases
as tried in the district court showed
unequal rights, in HAT II the state won,
its assistant attorney general would be
paid a fee from the state, while if the
defense won il had to pay its own at
torney fees.
But Judge Pollock did not go into
the merits of the matter. He simply
dOcketed the cases without listening
to extended arguments, for in that way
only can he get the matter squarely
and legally before himself. Within a
short time, probably before he leaves
for his summer vacation, he will call
the matter up in his court at Topeka
and listen to the arguments, and then
decide whether he shall assume juris-
dictjJn.
In the event he does.' said Judge
Dana this morning, that is take the
cases, then of course they end here
He will rob me of my Jurisdiction in
them Nothing further will be done
with them here. But now he simply
docketed them to get the matter up
before himself"

Miss Thomas went into the jewelry
