Phah'n married Mrs. Susie Ar-rington Ar-rington in Kansas City last August, but their wedded life was so unpleasant that she left him. He has made various efforts, botli by threatening and coaxing, coax-ing, to re-establish their old relations, but without avail. He then caused to be published an article in a sensational Sunday paper at Kansas City which reflected on tho character and conduct con-duct of his wife. Today he clipped the article from the paper and sent it to her in a letter, in which he deplored that she had forced him to do this, and asked that she meet him this evening at 7 o'clock at the store of his employer. An answer came that the meeting should be granted, and Fhalen flattered, himself that he bad gained a point, and patiently awaited the coining of his wife. Mrs. Fhalen was accompanied by her sister, a basket of ancient eggs, and a four-ply rawhide, and when tho mooting moot-ing took place there was a genuine surpriso for her husband. He was chased around the store, running a gauntlet of rotten eggs, and then soundly sound-ly whipped with the rawhide, ' No arrests were made, but the proprietor pro-prietor of tho installment house expects to be reimbursed for the damage done his wares by tho egg nogg. |
