A GIANT IN TROUBLE

Abdellah Ben Hnmndy’a Wife Gone—He Wants Vengeance. Abdallah Ben Hamady, the Algerian giant who performed in Midway Plaisance at the Fair, is seeking his pretty Italian wife, Josephine, whom he married in San Francisco, and who, he alleges, has deserted him for Sig. Leo Massole, a Midway jeweler, and taken with her Abdallah’s little son Sammy, who performed in the Algerian village. Abdallah Ben is very wroth and says he does not want his wife to come back, but that he did want vengeance and Sammy. He had his revenge Tuesday night when he met Massole on the street in Chicago and thrashed him, and he will go to New York after Sammy, who is thought to have been taken there by the fickle Josephine.
