MAN FINED ON CHARGE
OF BEATING HIS WIFE
SAYS HUSBAND PROMISED TO
REFORM
J. A. Russell Tells His Wife He Will
Sober Up, Then Goes on a Wild
Spree and Makes Rough House.
Knocks Woman Down Many Times

When ]. A. Russell of $40 South Olive
street promised his wife he would
sober up from an extended spree he
emphasized his words in an unusual
manner, with the result that he was
in Judge Austin's court yesterday af-
ternoon in answer to charges Of bat
terry Of his wife.
The details which led up to charges
of battery, as related by Mrs. Russell,
gives the impression that in his con-
dition the man imagined he was the
man with the ball in the popular foot
ball sltirmish and that his wife was
the pigskin. Russell was found guilty
as charged and sentenced to fine of
$50
Mrs. Russell said that on Monday
night Russell came home intoxicated
and she asked him to try to sober up.
She says her husband promised to do
so. Subsequently he left the house.
Several hours later, close to midnight,
said the complaining witness. Russell
returned. His intoxication had reached
a point where he found relief only in
horrible mistreatment of his wife.
AT the time of his return Mrs Rus
sell was preparing to retire. Russell,
she said, commenced talking to her in
a loud and incoherent manner. The
woman begged him TO cease and get
TO bed and try to sleep off his Jag.
II was dressed in my night robe and
after coaxing him to retire without
results, went to bed. Russell eyeo
me for a moment then made a vicious
spring at me and jumped on my chest
with his knees. At the same time he
grabbed me by the throat with both
his hands and choked me.
"After unusual efforts I managed to
free myself and L started to run from
the room. He knocked me down to
the floor time and again. He picked
me up by the shoulders and tossed me
about like pieces of furniture. 1 tried
to scream for help but he shut me up
before 1 could make a noise loud
enough to attract attention"
Mr.. and Mrs. Russell have for some
time been conducting a rooming house
at the above mentioned number. or
late, neighbors say, the Russells have
done little besides quarrel. 1t is
thought that their domestic disagree
ments will terminate in the divorce
courts in the near future.

RYAN ANNEX BUILDING
IN ST. PAUL BURNEl
Thirty-Seven Firemen Overcome by
Heat and Smoke While
Fighting Flames.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, June 1.-THE six
story Ryan Annex building was COM
pletely gutted by a fire which was
discovered shortly after 8 o'clock this
morning and which burned fiercely all
day. The estimated loss to the build
ings and the stocks of the occupants
is between s450,000 and 100000.
The fire originated in the basement
of the store occupied by the Palace
Clothing Company, supposedly from a
defective electric wire.
Several firemen were badly cut BY
flying pieces of glass and thirty-sever
were overcome by heat and smoke. Ter
of these were taken to the hospita-
and the rest TO their homes. All OF
them will recover with the possible
exception of Lieutenant William Ed
wards, who tonight is said to be in Z
critical condition.
The Ryan Hotel is across the alley
from the burned structure, but 1t was

TERRIFIC STORMS BREAK
LONG DROUGHT IN KANSAS
Downpour Saves Portion of Crop That
Survived the Period of Dry
Weather.

TOPEKA, Kas., June 17.-After the
hottest day of the year North and Cen
trail Kansas was tonight visited by
terrific rain and thunder storms. break
ing the extended drought which had
already irreparably damaged the wheat
crop and threatened the corn crop. Re-
ports received here are meager, but IT
is known that the storm is general in
the northern section of the state. In
Marshall County the storm is so terrific
that all wires are down and flood danl-
age is threatened.
In the extreme northern tier of coun-
ties the rain will still greatly benefit
the wheat but farther south it is
feared that the crop will be still fur
ther damaged by the delay in harvest
ing due to wet fields.
The hot weather has been burning
up the. corn in all sections and to-
nights rain will mean a saving OF
many thousands of dollars to the farm
ers of the State on this crop. No rain
has fallen in Topeka so far.
