THOMAS KWlclNski YIELDS
KNIFE WITH POSSIBLY FATAL
EFFEcT-ALso WOUNDS MAN
WHO REscUEs WOMAN.

Because his wife refused TO give
him kiss when he was about to go
to work. Monday morning, Thomas
Kwicinski. aged AS. boarding in the
home OF John Msdowski, No. Boies
alley, grabbed butcher knife and. in
a fit of anger, plunged II twice into
Mrs. Kwicinski's left arm. above the
elbow.
The woman's cries brought Mr..
Madowski TO the rescue. After a
fierce struggle he managed to get the
knife away from the enraged husband.
but not until he had received several
deep cuts about the hands. Madow.
ski then sat on his prisoner and thus
prevented him from doing any further
damage until the patrol wagon arriv-
ed from Garfield station.
Mrs. Kwicinski was taken to Grace
hospital. where one of the wounds
proved to be rather serious. On the
second plunge the knife blade struck
the bone and broke off, leaving the
end of the blade in the wound. The
doctors will resort TO the X-rays In
an effort to locate the piece. Should
blood poisoning set in the woman's
chances for recovery will be slight.
Kwicinski is held In Canfeld sta
ton.

SILAS p. HOVEY DIES
AFTER LONG ILLNESS

Silas p. Hovey. a director OF the
Dime Savings bank and president of
the Peninsular Salt company, died.
Sunday. In his home. No. 95 Washing.
ton boulevard, following an illness OF
over two years.
Early In February, accompanied by
his wife, daughter and physician DR..
Henri G. .Ide. Mr.. Hovey went to the
celebrated Mayo hospital in Rochester,
Mimi, for treatment. II was thought
at first that an operation would re-
lieve him, but DR.. William Mayo
thought recourse to the knife mad
visable because of Mr. Hovey's ad-
vanced years.
Mr.. Hovey was born in oxford,
Mich. April 10. 1897. During the civil
war he was engaged In the general
mercantile business In Oxford and the
dry goods business In Pontiac. At the
close OF the war. he married Sarah r.
Glaspie. of Oxford. He moved TO Mus
kegon and later to Ionia, where he
was engaged in the lumber business.
In 1882, he came to Detroit and built
his home at No. 95 Washington boule-
ward, where he has lived ever since
He held large interests In pine lands
in the south and FOR Is years own
ed 1000 acre stock and grain ranch
In Minnesota.
Besides his wife. Mr. Hovey Is sur
vived by daughter Mrs. Arthur c..
Leonard; three brothers, A. n. How
ey, of New York; H. n. Hovey, OF De-
troit; A. A. Hovey, of Troy. Mich. and
two sisters, Mrs. RI. NJ. Whipple. Cas-
novia, Mich. and Mrs. r. N. Conover,

the Gayety this week that are-well
they are SO close to the type of ma
ture unadorned that the Sunday audi
ence sat right up and took notice.
These and a dancer who goes by the
name OF the Girl in Green" are the
redeeming features OF show that
would have lost much OF It's patronage
at the intermission IL 1t had not been
for the forbidding presence OF the
cid" outside.
One must hand 1t to the chorus for
hard work, shape and some fair
voices. Also they are dressed well.
They have learned all the current
song fayorltes from "Harrigan" 10 the
Merry Widow" and accompany them
with lively dancing which wins appro-
baton.
AS to the rest of the show, one must
beg to be excused. The manager who
hired the comedians should be fined
for contempt OF the comedy art. Like
wise the I.ynnotte sisters, billed as
singing comedians. They dress well
and that is all.
Some OF the people with the show
have been here before this season
Maybe II Is a compliment TO the town
that they were willing TO come back
with this show.
The current show Is handled by
Weber and Rush and is named the
Dewey Extravaganza Co. Next week
Rose Sydells London Bellies are the
attraction.
