Brown met his wife on Grant avenue
near the postoffioe and hit her in the
face with a brick. Mrs. Brown drew

without effect.
Owing to the fact that Brown is well
known here and has relatives who inter-
coded for him, nothing has been done
in his case beyond placing him under
bonds to keep the peace about year
ago. His relatives promised 10 keep
him out of the city. and he was re-
leased and allowed to go. after exhibit
ing signs of due penitence. He has
and has made three assaults on his wife
since them.
Mrs Brown accompanied the officers
with her husband to the police setation

the man, and those who witnessed the
assault state that she had narrow
escape. A complaint will be filed
against Brown this afternoon and he
will be prosecuted to the limit.
