Milwaukee, Wis., Feb. 19. A ' ta.ll, dark haired man, evidently excited, walked into the district court here this morning. . "Where do I get it an injunc- .K& tion?" he asked the clerk. "Here," said , the clerk, "if you've got a good reason." "I got it a good reason,"" said the dark man. "If four children ain't a good reason, I'd like to know what is ? Four children all with appetites like horses already yet" "Whom d'you want to enjoin?" asked the clerk. MMinika Kazmiercz," said the dark man. "I guess so," said the clerk. "What is it a patent medicine?" "Ain't I just telling you it's a woman?" demanded the dark man. "A woman without heart or self respect." "What d'you want to enjoin Minnie from doing?" asked the , clerk. "From marrying me," said the l dark man. "From what?" exclaimed the clerk, wondering if he were awake. "Marrying me. I said it, didn't I?" asked the dark man, who ,?0 seemed to be getting more ex cited. "What's she want to marry you C for?" asked the clerk. . . "Because I asked her." J "What d'you want to renig on the lady for then?" demanded the clerk. "Renig, it it?" shouted the stranger. "Renig not. For why didn't she tell me she had four children? For why didn't she tell me that? Is it the conduct of a lady to work a man up to proposing to her an' then spring four children, all of which has appetites worse thn horses, on him? It's worse than stabbing in the back, an' I want a injunc tion." "When did you find out about the children?" asked the clerk. "N6t till I was tied up good an' tight, with her having all the evi dence for a first class breach of promise case, which she says she'll make it, too." said the dark man, bitterly. The clerk explained that there was no precedent on which the in junction could be issued. "What do I care about presi dents?" demanded the dark man. "Ain't I a taxpayer? Ain't I got it a right to protection ? Ain't I got no rights ?" "You get out of here," said the . clerk, getting mad himself. The dark man, whose name has been fpund to be Slaw Orlikwiski, which perhaps explains, left the courthouse, muttering darkly, about his "rights." He went directly to the home of Mrs. Minika Kazmiercz. and when that lady opened the door, he folded his arms. l -4-tK V X WarfWUfeftEifc. JS- J-;
