acting cruelty to his wife and children.

his exhibitions Of nasty temper, he
broke the crutch used by his deform-
ed daughter. After breaking the
crutch in several pieces he threw a
quantity of groceries out of the win

should have nothing A story told by
the unfortunate wife is said to have
been most pitiful. The justice simply
imposed a fine Of SIS and costs,
amounting to $22.2s which Boswell
could not pay and in default he was
sent to the Jail at Moorhead for twen-
ty days. The warrant for Boswells
arrest was sworn out by the mayor of
the town.
