ON TRAIL OF WIFE DESERTERS.

Minnesota Authorities Would Secure Requisitions for Them. The St. Paul, Minn., county board of control has decided to seek requisition papers in order to secure the return to the State of thirty husbands who have deserted their wives. The last Legislature pussed a law making wife desertion u felony, punishable by Imprisonment in the penitentiary from one to three years, with a provision for a suspension of sentence provided the .delinquent husband shall give a bond to the State to support his wife und family. The deserting husbands are located in various States, and the effort to secure their return will doubtless give rise to some n?tvel complications.
