Husband Chases Rival With Gum
When Herman L. Carter (colored)
paid an unexpected visit to his home,
morning, and after searching in vain
for his wife, found her next door in
company with a strange negro, a muir
der was only averted because the in
terloper proved more fleet of foot than
the enraged husband. Rushing out of
the house, Carter armed himself with
a single-barreled shot gun and pur-
sued the dusky lover, Norman Adams,
of Rock Island, for a distance of sew
eral blocks before he gave up the
chase. The entire north end neigh
borhood was thrown into an uproar,
and a riot call was sent in to the po-
lice station. Detective Phelan and Of.
ficers La Grange and Sanford made a
record-breaking run. and after an ex-
citing half-hour man hunt, captured
the gunman. Carter had several shells
in his pockets to prove that he meant

surreptitiously visiting his wife for
some time past, but had never been
able to catch him. Yesterday morning
he sneaked back 20 the house and his
suspicious were verified. He SAYS he
found his wife in a neighbours house,
affectionately wiping the perspiration

First Fiction Known.

The Tale of Two Brothers," written
5000 years ago by the Theban scribe
Ennana. librarian of the palace to King
Merenptah. the supposed Pharaoh of
the Exodus, is the oldest work of fic.
tion extant.
The tale was written apparently for
the entertainment of the crown prince,
who subsequently reigned as Seti II.
His name appears in two places on the
manuscript, probably the only surviv-
ing autograph signatures of an Egyp-
tian king.
This piece of antique fiction, written
on .l19 sheets of papyrus in a bold
hieratic hand, was purchased in Italy
by Nine. d'Orbiney. who sold it in 1857
10 the authorities of the British mu-
scum. where it is now known as the
dOrbiney papyrus.
