Chicago, Oct. 81. - Two masked

repeated.
Ohlund, who was behind the bar,
had reached for his revolver. The
bandits saw the move. Without a mo-
ment's hesitation they began shooting.
Three shots were fred. One of the
bullets struck Kern. He fell to the
floor.

Kern was wounded their hands went
up. The bandits worked hurriedly.

With a command to remain quiet
and refrain from giving an alarm, the
bandits backed out of the door and
then ran down Wood street.
Join in the Chase.
Two of the men in the saloon, after
waiting a moment, followed the thugs
out. The robbers were still in sight
and they gave chase, The robbers
had reached the elevated structure
when a shot was fired. This attracted
the attention of Fitzgerald, a mounted
policeman, and James King, a plain
clothes man, who joined the chase.
Fitzgerald was the first TO fire. His
first SHOT struck one of the men in
the back, and with a groan he fell to
the pavement. The other bandit, turn

struck Fitzgerald in the left leg, just
above the ankle. Then the man dis
appeared under the elevated tracks.

-FOUR BlGAMIES IN one FAMILY
Woman's Attempt to Get Divorce Re-
veals Amazing Matrimonial
Mix-up.

New York, Oct. PA most amaz.
ing story of matrimonial complica-
tions, including four frankly admitted
bigamies in one family, has come to
light through the attempt of Mrs. Da-
vid Seidal of No. $50 Grand street,
Brooklyn, to bring divorce action
against her husband a few days ago.
Among some of the things which
Mrs. Seidel has confessed is that she
married George Longeill, Sr, knowing
he had two wives living; married
George Longeill, Jr., her husbands
Jon by a previous marriage, without be-
ng divorced; allowed George Longe-
i'll, Jr., while he was still her husband,
to marry her daughter Ida, who was
his own half-sister and daughter Of
his own father; married, without di-
vorcing George Longeill, Jr., David
Seidel, her present husband.
Still Another Twist.
Added to all these complications is
another. David Seidel, according to
the woman, tired of her and won the
affections of the young wife of her
son, William Longeill. He left Mrs.
Seidel, she says, and went to live with
young Mrs. Longeill.
Mrs. Seidel, when she went to Attor-
ney Andrew J. Smith to ask him to
get her a divorce, told him nothing
about her previous marriages. She
merely narrated Seidel's alleged mis-
conduct and named young Mrs. Longe-
i'll as correspondent. The attorney
went ahead, served papers Upon Sci
del and brought suit in the Brooklyn
supreme court.
When Seidel received the papers he
called upon the lawyer and told him
what he knew about his wife's preyi-
Gus marriages and her family history.
Mr.. Smith summoned his client and
she admitted that she had had a very
much checkered career. The attorney
thereupon threw up his hands III as-
constituent and abandoned the case.
All Are Church Members.
At present she has no lawyer and
probably will have a hard time in get
ting one to take her case.
Everybody concerned in the remark
able miX-up is a regular attendant at
one or another of several Brooklyn
churches. The children all go to
school and are bright and clean.
The elders are all fairly prosperous.
They discuss the case and the compli-
Gated relationships with the utmost
freedom.
