New Observation-Disclosures Shook,
who owns a large farm near Middle
bush, came to town to look for Ala
Cadmus, his former hired man, and
left the city with one eys much
changed for the worse.
Shook thought that Cadmus had
eloped with Mrs. Shook, who wasn't
around the farm. The farmer met the
ex-hired man in Albany street.
where's my wife," demanded
Shook. The conclusion of Cadmus' an
swer was a blow which landed effect
lively on Shocks eye.
Patrolman Hardy took the two men
before Recorder Houghton. There
Shook made charge of assault and
battery against Cadmus, who denied
knowing anything about what had be-
come of Mrs. Shock.
When Shook returned to the farm
he found his wife there. She had
looked all over the place for him.
1t was misunderstanding all around.
but Shook still has black eye and
Cadmus is in the county Jail.
