IN MankatO and AmDOy. He Is son
of William Hubmer
From Mondays Daily.
Michael Weaver was locked up
last night on complaint of neighbors
that he was creating a disturbance
in his home on Fifth street. He
was to have been taken before
Judge Comstock at three o'clock
this afternoon, as his wife, who is
employed at local hotel, could not
get away until then.
Weaver and his wife have been
attracting a good deal of attention in
the neighborhood lately by their ac-
tons in regard to each other, and
the police have been called several
times. Each calls the other crazy,
and each lays all of the blame upon
the other.
Says Wife Attacked Him.
Weaver states that his wife at
tackled him with her fists last night
after he had gone to bed and that
all he did was to ward off her blows.
All of the time she was screaming
and this was what made the neigh
bors think that he was mistreating
her. He finally escaped from her
and ran upstairs and hid in a closet
and she thought he was in bed, he
says, and she pounded the bed, and
hurt the children OF the latter
there are four, the oldest eleven
and the youngest four years.
Weaver has been working at Lee
Sueur Center, he states, at plaster
ing and mason work. His wife ac-
cuses him of not furnishing any
money at home, and says that this
is why she has gone to work, but
he says that he has furnished every
thing needed and he wants his wife
to stay home with the children and
care for them.
Judge Comstock had Mr.. and Mrs.
Weaver in consultation with Chief
Donahue, this afternoon, and it was
hard to tell which is to blame. 1t
was partially arranged that Mr. Wea,
yer is to try to save his money this
week and that next week he move
his family to LeSueur Center, where
he has work.
The saloon at 80 South Front
street known as ''Al and Joe's," and
owned and conducted by AL Huettl
and Joseph Wagenhals, was robbed
early Sunday morning. The thief
succeeded in getting away with
$233.75 in cash.
Entrance was gained through
rear window The burs had been
gone from the bolts that held the
bars across the window for year,
and the firm knew this and had
talked about it with the police, but
it escaped their mind and repairs
were never made. The burglar cut
the screen and pushed the bars in
and crawled in.
Was Familiar with Place.
The firm has been in the habit
of hiding the money on hand in diff
ferent hiding places, and the burglar
seems to have had no trouble in find
ing these hiding places, which leads
to the conclusion that he was ia
miliar with the custom of the firm
or had been told about it by some
one familiar with it.
About $40 in change was in tin
can under the working bench back
of the bar, and the rest of the
money was in currency and was
secreted i'm the card room. Nothing
else was taken, so far as is known.
A number of checks in the cash
register were undisturbed. The firm
has no clue as to who took the mon
ey They discovered the loss yester
day morning when they opened the
saloon to clean it out, and reported
the matter to the police.
Snatched Woman's Purse.
1t was reported today that wom-
an was held up by a footpad on
West Liberty street, near the Monks
