Alleged Wife
Beaters Locked Up
George Smith and P. Z. Dunlap Were
Gathered in by the Police
Last Night.

Two more Members Of the wife-beating
fraternity were caught last night in the
net Of the law and hauled behind the bars
OF the police station.
George Smith, who exists at 1l01 South
Nineteenth street and who is we'll known
to the police, created much disturbance in
his neiEhborhood and required two trips
by the police before he could be located.
Early in the evening there came a call
from that neighborhood to the effect that
a drunk man, armed with two revolvers,
was going to make a general cleaning up
OF the landscape. The police automobile,
with Sergeants Sigwart and Vanous. went
in search of the wsrlike member, but when
they arrived he had disappeared.
Later IN the evening Officer Harry W.
mer rounded up Smith. who had returned
home and was exercising his martial pre-
rogative by beating his wife and ~terToriz-
ing the children. Timer sent the man be-
hind the bars and when the police found
1t was Smith who had been making the
trouble in the neIghborhood they laughed
long and merrily, for his bravery is said
to be Of the kim that is rampant when
only women and children are around, but
quickly evaporates when a man appears.
Smith is also known to the police as the
man who, when the old Methodist church
at Tenth and Pierce streets was being torn
down attempted to enrich himself by APP
propriating the bell, which he later disposed
Of to a junk dealer.
The other wife-beater was P. r. Dunlap,
2211 North Thirteenth street. He per-
formed the duty in an ordinary way and
was arrested and locked up In much the
same fashion.
