TWIN BROTHER HOLDS JOB
WHILE OTHER TWIN IS SCARED
Man Charged With Wife Beating Finally Comes
Back and Gets Warrant in Place of
Friendly Greeting at Home

Speaking of brotherly love, consider
now the case of Henry Cheatham. held
by the minions OF the law on the sim
PIE charge of chastising his better
half There arc men who sometimes
deplore the fact that there are other
men OF the same name. and there are
men who deplore the fact that there
are other men of the same face and
eyes and looks. Twins generally look
alike. especially when they dress alike
but most twins who look alike are bad
actors.
When Henry Cheatham went home a
year ago and found that everything
wasn't exactly as he wished, 1t is
charged that he beat his wife ard
made her remember that she had been
to the races. AS all wives who have
been beaten should do. she promptly
got warrant, and Henry got away.
But before he shook the dust of tho
old town from his feet he thought OF
mis- job at the Locomotive Works, the
good pay heA earned. the regret at
losing it, and he was prompted to
stay. But when he thought again he
was chilled by the fear of the fatal
words sung at him in court.

the City Council yesterday. 1T was
stated that the Georgian was travelling
one night when he was requested by
stranger to exchange berths SO that
an Ill woman wouldn't have to climb
into an upper. He thought no moro
of 1t until the stranger died and left
him that chunk of money in his will.
Some years ago went to the Pa

to trade a lower for an upper. He
said that he was III: that the doctors

regarded the job with more reverence
than he regarded his wife, SO he
quickly called the twin, explained mat

and sent that twin to the place where

That was a year ago Henry's twin

Henry had left town and a good lob,

spread over his face. Out came the
