Another Domestic Disturbance.

Mrs. Wilbur Criswell created quite a little excitement at the corner of Front and Rutsen streets Thursday evening, when her cries f*.r help brought the neighbors to the scene, and it was found that a domestic brawl was in progress. Mrs. Criswell was lying on the ground and her husband, ft was said, was holding her down, while accusing her of unfiai th fullness. The Criswells have lived southeast of town, a few miles, but separated recently when he charged her of being too familiar with another man. She came to town and has been working in the Rensselaer House (fornrriy the Nowels House.) When she went out Thursday evening her husband met her apd a few words resulted. He threw her to the ground she alleges, and she screamed fbr help. She threatened to have Mm arrested, but has not done so. Criswell states that he merely wanted to have a talk with the woman and hate her return to her family of four children. Chriswell is said to be an industrious man and a good provider, and he seems to have the sympathy of the public in his domestic troubles.
