SPRING CHICKEN NO MORE
Man who Eats IL Daily Beats Wife
So Der SchudEe Gives Him
Jail Diet.

How long can a woman stand It to cook
fried chicken every day, using the chickens
grown on her own farm and picking the
pin feathers with her own hands for a man
who beats her regularly and refuses to
work? The answer is, one year.
Just a year ago Adelbert Briggs, then
Il soldier, married Catherine Briggs and
they started housekeeping in her home at
Thirtieth and Kansas avenue. Here were
chickens aplenty and Mr.. Briggs delivered
TO Mrs. Briggs his ultimatum, that the rest
Of his life was to be spent in eating fried
chicken and any departure from that diet
would cause a family earthquake. Mrs.
Briggs cooked the chickens and Drowned
them to the best OF her ability, but the
family earthquake happened nevertheless
one day she revolted and planned a coup.
But when her husband entered the kitchen
ana smelled the beef boiling on the stove
he threw the whole pot into the back yard
and howled for spring chicken. She cooked
the chicken that day and continued to give
him all he asked.
Labor day he went on a mpag She
had put his other suit of clothes out on the
line to dry. He was dressed in his best,
but he wanted something else. She would
not get the clothes off the line, so he
knocked her down with a broom handle
on the 10Th he went on a drunk and was
put into Jail, where he languished until
Monday afternoon, when he was brought
before Justice Altstadt.
And have you cooked your own frled
chicken for this man for one year,"
Yes, SIR said Mrs. Briggs, while heI
husband wept.
And still he beat you just the same?'
Yes, sir" said Mrs. Briggs.

publican County Attorney
Nomination,

At the close Of the recount OF the pri-

ahead Of Willis c. Crosby inc as a result
Crosby may go into court to compel the
board to count three votes cast for him
but thrown out by the board as Irregular.
Mr.. Crosby said yesterday afternoon he
would probably go into court to mandamus
the board to count the three votes for him
which were rejected in case the board re-
fused to count them. For an hour yester-
day afternoon Attorneys Burbank for
Crosby and Murdoch for Brewer argued
the question whether these three votes
should be counted or not. II the board de-
cides to count them Crosby will have a
majority Of one vote. After the hearing
the board announced II would decide the
mooted point at 10 O'Clock this morning.
As the count drew to a close interest be-
came intense because of the closeness of
the votes of the two leading candidates.
When the last precinct had been ~recountod
and totaled It was found the vote was a tie,
each receiving 2,sT7. Two votes remained
to be counted, however. They were in
Benson precinct, the first one counted by
the board, and had been rejected because
only one Judge signed them. After pass
ing Benson the board reversed its decision
and counted ballots signed by only one
judge, so It was necessary to reopen the
Benson box and record the two ballots.
Both were for Brewer, throwing his vote
two above Crosby's.

With three Touring mills producing 5000
barrels of flour daily, Omaha will rank
ahead of the following cities in FIGURING

That there is a demand for flour made

FALL OPENING At BRANDEIs

Of the building. The visitors found new

successful openings In every way in the
history Of the store.
The window display on sixteenth street
was rich and varied, the decorators using
only the most extreme and elegant styles
in women's apparel that Europe and Amer

each window was carefully worked out
