up ON CHARGE OF BEATING
WIFE

Richard German. was arraigned be-
fore Justice Hogan yesterday after
noon on a charge of having beaten
and abused his wife. The justice took
nhe matter under Amusement until
this morning at 10 O'Clock. The evil
dence of Mrs. German. who swore to
the complaint, as we'll as that OF a
neighbor, tended to show that Cor
man who had been rather negligent
about working the past month. went
home to his residence N Dubacher
Canyon on the night referred to. and
caused a rough house. ordering his
wife out and applying very abusive
names to her. He took the stand in
his own defense and entered a gen
eral denial, contending that he had
asked for his supper and had been
abused. He stated that he did not
strike his wife. but that they were
"joshing" and finally got out OF the
door having hold of each other. He
stated that he was of tn eopinion that
his wife had put him out.

The welded state is fayorite sub

q very old ballad we take this:
There was a criminal in cart
A-goin' TO be hanged.
Respite TO him was granted.
And cart and crowd did stand
To know II he would marry wife
Or rather choose 70 die.
ssT'other's the xorst-dTtre on the cartr'
The criminal did reply.
More modern Is this verse:
would advise a man TO pause
Before he takes wife
In fact. see no earthly cause
He should not pause for life
Who. by the way. is the author who
describes a second marriage as being
