A sensation was created late one night this week when a High street butcher was seen chasing a young man of the Seventh ward 1 up Lake street. The Seventh warder was captured near the opera house, and received a good threshing the hands of the butcher.
The had discovered that the young man, who is single was enjoying the society of his wife. The climax came when the butcher returned unexpectedly and found the young man in his house. The result is a broken up home. The butcher removed his household effects to the home of his parents Wednesday. A fine piano which he had purchased for his wife was returned to Greener's.
A divorce case will probably follow. It is said the young man promised to meet the butcher Wednesday night and explain the situation, but he failed to do as he agreed. All parties concerned are well known. Mrs. Jone; Discharged.

"Lon" Whiteman's Remarkable Career and Downfall. FROM THE SENATE TO THE JAIL. He Aimed to Shine in Society and in Politics and Quickly Ran Through Thousands of Dollars-Author of a Political Shibboleth, In the Chicago Herald of Tuesday appeared an interesting story of the the markable former career Danville of Alonzo J. who is Whiteman, under man arrest at Detroit on suspicion of being implicated with James R. Dewitt in passing a bogus check at the Hotel Cadillac in that city, and who is also thought to have been mixed up in the crime by which the Four City bank of Rochester was defrauded out of $1,500 on a forged check, and who was also implicated in the troubles which led to the imprisonment of Mr.
and Mrs. Robert J. Knox in Mexico. Whiteman is also wanted in California oll a charges in connection with several forgeries and if he is released at Detroit he will be taken to the Pacific coast. In its sketch the Herald says: "Alonzo J.
Whiteman has had no common career. The son of a millionaire, he was sent about the time he attained his majority from his home in Northern New York to the West. His father sent him away because of his convival habits, thinking that the bracing atmosphere of Dumight help make a man of him. Young" Whiteman was given plenty of money to embark in life with. "Alonzo Whiteman, according to the testimony of those who knew him in his early years, was weak-minded from infancy, As soon as his father, who could not trust him at home, gave him a little leeway and some funds he proved that he was not smart.
He attempted to cut a great figure in two different spheres society and politics. The only recommendation he had to push him ahead in either was his money. He moved to St. Paul after he had been chosen a State Senator from the Duluth district. While in the Legislature he tried to gain the good will of some men he was anxious to concilate by giving the most sumptous entertainment ever known at the capital.
He has been known to give as many as four dinners in a week, each one of which $500. "Yet, for all that, Whitman was the laughing stock of the Legislature. He could not make even a fair speech. fell in with a crowd of statesmen both parties who played a pretty stiff game of poker. Whiteman's proticiency at the game is shown by the fact that his losses reached $2,000 a night sometimes, and he was never known to win.
"Whiteman's money helped him into St. Paul's Society. He was only tolerated however, and four years after his father's death he had squanderd all of the fortune of $1,000,000 that he could get hold of. "Whiteman his money freely. He gave costly suppers in the old Merchants' hotel, of St.
Paul--then the political rendezvous of the state -and also at the Hotel Ryan, and was also credited with being a heavy poki player. While in Duluth he styled himself as 'a dealer in pine lands' and had extensive offices in the Exchange Building. Politically he was not supposed to have influence in the state except so far as his money reached, and that was thrown right and left with prodigality. 1887, when he was preparing himself for a Congressional campaign, which he intenedd to make but did not, he took an active part in defeating the plans of A. Ames, of Minneapolis, for the Democratic nomination for Governor.
It was a favorite saying of his in those days: 'A man in public life can not be too careful about what he says for He would then indite pages of typewritten matter as to his views on the tariff. "His father died early in March, 1888, at Dansville, N. and for nearly two years after Whiteman was a great social factor in St. Paul and Minneapolis. He was received in the homes of ex-Governor Merriam, Senator Washburn, the Pillsburys, Kellys, of the twin cities, and was considered an eligible match.
Among politicians of the stamp of Senator Henry Kellar, ex-Senator C. B. Buckham, exCongressman Comstock, John Sutphin and R. C. Dunn he was used largely to further by his Senatorial vote local schemes, but was never taken into the closest councils of the party.
It was in one of the Democratic state conventions Minnesota that he became author of a phrase now used there as a shibboleth. This was: "'From the waters of northeastern Maine, wher the pines whisper above purling ripples, to the waters of the Pacific, laving the base of the Cascade, a voice is proclaiming Democratic "The convention in which he attempted to make the speech which the foregoing lines opened hissed him from the platform. "His only appearance in Minnesota politics was as a State Senator for one term, and with the mismanagement of a large estate left to him and his defeat for a renomination to the Senate and a monination to Congress, he disappeared from the political and social world of the state. He was always considered eccentric and extremely egotistical and in personality made few friends. "When Whiteman's career as a plunger was over and he was in straits for money he resorted all sorts of shifts.
He registerd at the Richelieu last winter under the name of Rhinelander, representing himself to be one of the New York family of that name. The second day Mr. Bemis cashed his check for $150, after which "Rhinelander" disappeared. He was encountered on the street two days later by the clerk and compelled to return to the hotel. A friend paid the amount he was short.
Whiteman's next hotel exploit her was to run up a bill of $18 at the Grace hotel early this month. He was locked up in a room by Manager Grace until a friend found some one who paid the "Whiteman finally degenerated into a race track swindler. It is alleged he 'welched' on two eastern tracks and attempted do it at the Washington Park. He tried to do business on the Board of Trade trough brokers, to whom he would give his check in excess in the amount he wished to invest, receiving the difference in cash. Cashier Frank W.
Smith, of the Corn Exchange bank, had a draft for 000 on New York, payable to Whiteman's order, presented by a customer who was suspicious. A telegram to the New York bank elicted a response that Whiteman Had no account there, and I it would be well to look out for of his paper. The same customer reported that he lost his commissions the deal, $43.75. "Mr. Smith denied yesterday that the Corn Exchange bank held $50,000 of Whiteman's forged paper, saying that all he knew about Whiteman was in relation to the above transaction." LET FIGURES ALONE.
The Advertiser Again Demonstrates the Axion That it is an Ass. Whenever the Gazette's garrulous morning contemporary attempts to "figger," its effort is always ridiculous enough to make a Billy goat shed his whiskers. Yesterday morning the Advertiser, with no excuse whatsoever, as the figures came to it direct by wire, reported Robert J. as trotting a heat at Detroit in 2:00 3-4. The telegraph report was as much the property of the Gazette as the Advertiser, but knowing the morning goose never was correct at anything pertaining to figures, the Gazette rectified the error in what seemed a logical way, and with the best facilities then at hand.
In order to guard against 2. mistake, however, the Gazette looked the matter up further, and later found that instead of the heat being trotted in 2:08 8 3-4 minutes it was 2:09 3-4. Now here is where the stupid 'Tizer makes a laughing stock of itself. It says: The sad part of the story comes in at the close of the article, wherein the brilliant mathematician confesses that with all his skill in manufacturing figures he was exactly a minute away from the time announced by the judges. It was only a few weeks ago that this same mathematical wonder attempted to tell the Gazette that eight from ten does not leave two.
Now it says that the difference between 2:08 3-4 minutes and 2:09 3-4 is "exactly one minute." Perhaps the Advertiser will tell us to morrow how many yards of moonshine it takes to make a bullfrog a pair of breeches. Get your ears clipped, neighbor! F. Horace S. Ritter, M. D.
