west side of the cottage on the northwest
corner of Eighteenth and Cuming streets.
Ist night I had started out to rent a
room close to the place ao that I could
watch him and her. I came to this place
(Anglyn's rooming house) and was about to
start up the steps to Inquire for a room,
when I saw my husband and the woman
coming. 1 stepped Just Inside the door,
expecting them to pass, for I thought thay
were still living In the cottage across the
street. , When I heard them turn in the
door I turned my back. 1 didn't want
them te see me. The woman was suspi
cious of me, though, sh said: 'Who la
that.' And Earl, my nusband, answered:
Oh, that's Just an old woman tying her
ho.' Then I turned around and Earl
saw me. They had started up the steps,
the woman a few steps above him and
Karl on the second step.
" 'Don't you know that's my husband
you are living with?' I shouted te the wo
man. " 'I don't glv a . she answered, and

come home and begged him to leave that
woman, but he would onlv lauah at me.
His mother, who lives at 5127 North Sev
enteenth street, was the first to tell me
thst Karl was going with this womitn.
Whenever 1 would ask her about It, she
would say she had been talking, to him,
trying to get him to leave her alone and
come back to me. But later she got so
that whenever 1 would call her up,
knowing that Karl was at her house, and
ask lor him, she would say he was not
there. I used to give him money when
he W'as out of work and he would go and
spend It on himself. When we were mar
ried 1 had $1,300 that 1 had saved up and
he went to St. Ixmis and spent all of that.

man, go "sors" and resigned. There was an
unanimity of opinion In the police force.
It walked out aa one man John McGregor,
He went with the Outs.
"All right," replied the Ins. Thereupon
by on stroke of the pen and a neatly sec
onded motion, a new police force was
created. Th new police force Is D. V.
Shipley. He Instructed himself to, report for
roll call at one.
Nothing that the Outs had done at their
last meeting, as a final function of some
minutes before, was allowed, to stand.
'What right have those fellows got to
do anything?" inquired J. H Farla, a
member of the Ins council, rising from his
newly acquired seat to make himself heard
among his associates.
"None," stormed the council et al In re
ply.' '

a resolution Invalidating In general, every
thing that the retiring council had had the
presumption to vot for. Then to make

th orders recorded by the council before.
Th Out had voted to allow all out

be paid, they will be paid by Ins In their
own cut little way.
Th resignation of Robert Craig, council
man with the Outs had been received and
accepted by the Outs, who appointed F.
M. King to fill out the term. Mr. Craig
had decided that he did not want to spend
th remaining year of hla term in corn
pany with the Ins.
Th Ins decided that he could resign all
right, but they refused to let the Outs re
ceive and accept his resignation.
With due ceremony the resignation of
Mr. Craig was turned down by the Ins"

without his consent. Then with Mr. Craig
In office again th Ins gleefully voted him

claims of the minority faction In division

Nearly two years ago sixty-five members
of the division decided to sever their con

brought a bill In equity against tha ma
jority asking for an accounting of the
funds and other property. ,
The court today held that "while tha
