tribute ninety per cent toward the

CHILDREN STAND
BY THEIR MOTHER

Fairfield, May 0.-eheriff Shan
Campbell received message Friday
from the authorities In Chicago direct
ing him to hold Mr.. and Mrs. Tony
Bruno until further notice. The action
is taken at the direction Of Daniel
Maliska of Chicago who claims to be
the woman's husband and who came
here Wednesday and tried to hold
both of the Brunos but was unable to
do so because he did not furnish proof
to the Justice of the peace.
Maliska uttered all kinds of dire
threats against both of the Brunos
during his stay in the city and finally
was escorted to the train and placed
on board by an officer. Sheriff Camp
bell also repeatedly warned him to
desist from threats to kill the Brunos
and also to destroy their property.
According to the woman she and
Maliska were never married although
they have three children, one Of whom
Is son OF II years and whose SYM
pathies are wholly with his mother.
Maliska made her tend bar in Chi
cago saloon for many years and al
ways to his friends he called her his
Sister" The saloon contents were
purchased and the business carried on
with some money which she had en-
herited from the old country and she
thought she had right to sell the
business and come to Fairfield with
the money. She was accompanied to
this city by her three children. every
one of whom Is willing to fight for her
at any moment.
Bruno has been in Fairfield for a
couple of years and has been employed
at the shoe shining parlor during that
time. He is known here as quiet.
hard working fellow and even when
Maliska came to Fairfield and went
with an officer to the home Of the
Brunos the latter did not become
angry but conducted himself as any
well respected man would, while NAL
iska flew in rage, using the most
abusive and obscene language con-
corning both Bruno and the woman.
The Brunos were married in Ottum-
wa few days ago the man probably
using his real name, Mike Missari.
They had purchased a small property
here and were living quietly in peace
and happiness.
According to advises from Chicago
Maliska will come to Fairfield again
Monday.
