KNOCKED IN HEAD
 AND ROBBED Man "Took Up" With Strange Neghl and is As
 saulted By Him.
CAME HERE TOGETHER
White Man Was Later Found UncOn. sciOus in Railroad Yards and
 Negro Escapes.

Familiarity with a negro, whom he did not know, came very near costing Ed Johnson, white man about 37 years old who says his home is at Monroe, La, his life last night short ly after 7 o'clock when he was as- saulted and robbed of $3S0. John son, badly wounded and bleeding, was found lying under the big wat CT tank in the Iron Mountain rail- road yards two blocks east of the Union station, shortly after the rob- bery
 Patrolmen Lem Reidinger and Will Tolson were called there and after seeing Johnson's condition carried him to the office of Dr. J. L. Magee, Sixth avenue and Main street. His wounds were dressed and he was ;. later removed to the New Dixie Rooming House, on East Third ave- nue. Two ugly holes were in John sons head and he was in a semi conscious state when found. It is believed that he was struck with a railroad spike.
 According to Johnson's story he and the negro whose name the po- lice have not learned, came here, early last evening on the Cotton Belt local from Brinkley. Johnson was on his way to Monroe, La.,- and he says the negro told him that they could catch freight train in the Iron Mountain yards shortly after their arrival here. When they were standing near the water tank the negro knocked Johnson down with a blow on the head, from behind and rendered him senseless with another blow. After Johnson came to he missed all the money he had-a lit- tie more than three dollars, and his pocket knife. He said he had previously purchased supper for him. self and the negro companion.

Although the story of a negress having given birth to baby in Ark ansas with two horns, forked tai! and full set of teeth, printed in papers throughout the country, was exploded after an investigation sey- eral weeks ago, strange yarns re- garding the alleged freak are float ing about the country. The story is said to have originated in letter written by one o. B. Long. of Little Rock to former neighbor in Wells vile, O., and in this letter the writer stated he had seen the baby in Ar genta. Later it was reported that freakish baby was born in or near Pine Bluff. Several persons claim ed to have talked with persons who said they saw it, but the tale has never received any more direct con- firmation. It is declared to be a "fake," pure and simple.

MARITAL TANGLE

Enrico Caruso Named in Divorce
Suit Brought by
Merchant.
WIFE ADMITS CHARGE
Woman Travelled in This Coun-

Tenor.
sneeinl cable to The rme,-pispatch.J

| Especial Cable TO The Iimes-Dispatch.J
Florence, June 1s.-Enrico Caruso is
! approaching a climax in his marital"
! entanglements.
1t will be remembered that during
his first two seasons in New York at
the Metropolitan Opera House he was
accompanied by woman whom every
one considered to be his legal wife.
This woman was really Madame Gino
Botti. the wife of a Florentine mer-
chant. who. under the name of Mimi
Giachetti, had achieved certain sue
cess on the operatic stage, and who is
a sister of the much better known
lyric soprano OF the same name. A
year or two ago Nine Gtachetti Botti-
Caruso was reported to have eloped
with her chauffeur.
Now the Florentine merchant, Botti.
Is suing her for divorce, and names
Caruso as the correspondent. Madame
Caruso, as she Is still generally
known. has written a letter to the
press in which she states that she en-
deayored to seek q divorce from Botti
ten years ago. but he refused his con-
sent. 1t was then she went to live
with the tenor. Since that time, she
declares. she has lived with Caruso
as his wife and has had two children
by him.
She often saw Botti, who never
seemed to resent the fact of her al
lance or care one way or the other
She denies having eloped with the
chauffeur, and says Caruso left her
pennfless at Mont Charles on tho very
spot where they first met and where
he persuaded her to forsake her ar
tistic career for his love.
Madame Botti deplores her unhappy
married left with both men, whom she
accuses of having failed to contribute
TO her support, though she admits that
Caruso gives her 500 month---a mere
pittance, she says, considering that
he draws the highest salary OF any
tenor on earth.
This famous trial will be held in
Florence within the next few weeks.
and the star witness for Madame Botti
against her husband will, in spite OF
all her accusations against him, be
Caruso himself. The public is eager
ly awaiting the trial, because 1t is
said it will clear up many obscure
points In the famous tenor's life.
| It is said on good authority that
while In New York Caruso paid large
sums of money TO Botti IN order to
prevent his going into the court and
injuring the woman who was passing
as his wife. Later on, as the tenor's
fame grew, Bottrs demands for hush
money increased and had to be prompt
~ satisfied.
Thus Caruso, who had intended
passing a quiet vacation at home,
will have to appear in Florence to
answer Signor Bottis charges OF
alternating his wife's affections It is
very likely heavy damages viii be
demanded in court.
II is said caruso intends standing
BY Madame Botti, who, after all Is
said and done, is the mother Of his
children, and very much more his wife
than the wife of her legal husband.
