Than She Asked for
Now Dissatisfied.
MATE IS NEGLECTFIJL

Anna Pellegrino, 10 years old, whose
complete divorce decree was yesterday
signed by Judge E. B. Belden in cir
cult court, got more than she asked
for and is now considering the adj
visibility of taking an appeal.
She married Louis Pellegrino, %
wears old. on June II, 1922. The cere-
mony was performed by Racine
priest, it was stated According to
the girls testimony, the groom be-
came disguised with her when she be-
came SO i'll that an operation was nee
essary three weeks after their nup-
tials.
\ She was taken to The hospital where
during seven weeks, she claims her
mate showed up but three times, to
inquire as to the state of her health.
On October both she left him because
Of his neglect of her. The following
April a reconciliation was effected
and she returned to live with him, but
after three months gave up all hopes
of ever smoothing out their domestic
relations.
Acted Cold-Wife.
She stated that Louis actions dur
ing the time they we're living togeth-
er as husband and wife showed clear
ly that he did not love her. While
he never struck her or was abusive
in any way in which she could retail
ate. his cruelties had delicate fnesse
which was excrutiating. He simply

When she started divorce action, he
refused to contest the matter, calmly
turning the case over to Attorney John
Kuehnl to take care Of his interests.
After listening to the testimony,

Last of Hermits
Dies i'm Tower

London-The last of three brothers,
all talented men, who for thirty years
refused to have intercourse with their
fellowmen, has died in lonely tower
on the Essex Coast. The brothers
took up their residence in the tower
about thirty-five years ago, refusing
to admit women and gradually came
to close their doors against all.
They only came to town to purchase
food and clothing.
William Cole, the eldest, was a
naturalist, founder of the Essex Mu-
scum and the author of several books.
Benjamin was an entomologist and
Henry, the last to die, was an artist,
etcher and sculptor.
The tower in which they lived was
surrounded by moat, and was built
in the fourteenth century.
The will of the last brother leaves
all the property, which is valued at
about $4,000. to the state.

Pistols Flash When
Lawmakers Meet

Belgrade, Jugoslavia-T good, old
lively days of the Austrian reichsrath,
when visitors in Vienna regarded the
halls of parliament more as an arena
for the staging of personal encounters
than as a seat of lawmakers, were re-
called by recent free-for- fight in
the Jugoslavian chamber. Revolvers
barked during the row, and four men
were wounded before the speaker
could clear the house.
Mr.. Agatanovitch, former instruc-
tor in a gymnasium, today Democra-
tic deputy, was the provocative agent.
Large of frame and possessed of a
stentorian voice, by his frequent in
terruptions he was making impossible
the transaction of business.
Deputy Stretkovitch protested, and
without saying word Agatanovitch
seized chair and knocked Stretko-
witch senseless.
The chamber Immediately was in an
uproar and the session degenerated
into a battle of fisticuffs. The fighting
was stopped only by the intervention
OF a flying wedge of deputies com
posed of men who showed Their readi-
ness to fight for peace.

Kind Hearted Jailer
Pays Prisoners Fines

New Orleans-T The Acustom of releas-
ing two prisoners fAom the Orleans
parish prison here every Good Fri
day, inaugurated so long ago that the
originator and the reason therefor
have been forgotten, was adhered to
as usual this year. No one knows how
long the custom has been in vogue,
but it has been handed down through
the years and so far no one ever has
offered objection.
The superintendent of the prison
picks out among those serving short
sentences two who have been quiet,
Industrious and in general model
prisoners. This year they happened
to be man serving thirty days in
lieu of a $40 fine for drunkenness and
another serving similar term for
Captain Archie Rennyson, the sup
erintendent, chuckled when the 1924
quota paused for great breaths of
the warm, free air as they left the
prison entrance.
"You know" he said, there's only
one legal way prisoners likeI that can
be released before they've served their
time and that is for somebody to pay
their fine for them. But it's pretty
custom-don't you think? So every
year | pick out couple of the boys
who have been good prisoners and |
pay what's left of their fines myself"
Freedom for the Good Friday selec-
tions this year cost the captain $15.

Robbed Railroad Camp,
Nabbed Today.
HE DENIES THE CHARGE

Time ana chance favored the sher-
ifs men this morning when an hour
after they had been requested by

lieved to have stolen sum of money
there early this morning, the fugitive

See Man on Freight Car.
y Undersheriff Knipfer and Deputy

The two made for the new Northwest
ern tracks west of the city and wait
ed. They had hardly arrived when a
freight drew along from the north,
which came to a stop, tagged down by
the signal near the coal chutes.
A man was seen peering over the
edge of one of the cars.
"There he isl" cried the two from
the sheriffs office, but it seemed too
good to be true. Claude Petty made
no resistance to the arrest. He adj
initted that he had come from rail-
road camp and that ne had been there
only one day, but denied that he had
taken any money.
"What did you leave camp for so
soon without collecting your wages
after being there only day" asked
Sheriff Pabst while questioning Petty
at the county jar
81 figured that we were square as
had gotten some stuff there" an
swered the young man. "They put
me in with a lot~of Mexicans and |
wouldn't stand for it. | shifted off
early today for that reason"
A thorough search of Petty's per-
son was made at the police office, and
the lining of his coat, cap, gloves and
shoes were searched but no money was
found. He will be held here until Of
ficers from Rawson come to identify
him.

C. F. Tyson Attacked by
FOotpad in Store on
Fremont Ave.
USED A COOKY BOX
Tyson Struck Would-be Gun
man with Cooky Box Over
Head; ROuts Thief.

1t was not very brave hold-up man
who, according to a report made to
the police, tried to scare Charles F.
Tyson, 500 South Fremont avenue, at
his store Friday night. Not very
brave hold-up man, since he was rout-
ed with the aid of a cookie box.
Tyson told the police that about a
quarter after nine o'clock, young
man came into his store, looking about
eighteen or nineteen years of age, who
proceeded once he was inside to the
business of holding up the place.
Flourished a Gun.
The intruder pulled gun, and urg-
ed the proprietor to be speedy about
throwing up his hands. Tyson, who
was not clustered by!sthe appearance
of the would-be hold-up man, made a
grab for him and struck him over the
head with a cookie box
For some reason, known only to the
man who entered the store, the cookie
box. was an effective weapon, and the
hold-up man retreated, followed by
the proprietor and the cookie box, too.
The stranger turned fugitive, run
ming south to Elizabeth street, where
he turned the corner and ran west.
Tyson went back after the chase and
summoned the police department.
Make Arrest Later.
Detective Breidt and officers L.
Bauschelt, Pecan, Chase, Watson, Leh-
man and Larsen were assigned to the
pursuit of the hold-up man and live
ly chase ensued. The runner had had
q GOOD start however and although
the neighborhood was thoroughly
scanned, he had achieved cover when
the police spread their net for him.
At 1880 p. m. the police received
call from Ignatz Polauski, 451 North
Pleasant street, who reported that
there was burglar in his barn and
that he would him until the police
that he would hold him until the police
l.. Bauschelt, Chase and Cunningham
responded and received Polauski.
Polauski, had been standing guard
over his prisoner, holding him in a
corner with scoop shovel.
The man arrested gave his name as
William Witkowicz. He is held on
the charge of suspicion. The police
say that the mans appearance tallies
with the description given of the man
who attempted to hold UP Tyson.
Meanwhile the police are making
further investigation as the man un-
der arrest appears to be not altogeth-
err mentally responsible. There are
other circumstances in the case which
warrant further inquiry, according
to the police officials.
