Ipollito, the Police said, went to the home where Mrs. Scilla has been living since the au- thorities broke up the strange domestic arrangement, and fired a volley of shots at the woman. Most of the shots went wild but one wounded the woman’s side. Ipollito was felled by a milk bottle by Phillip Baranona, the woman’s brother-in-law. The Police learned last March that Ipollito lived with and claimed both Mrs, Scilla and Mrs. Ipollito as his wives. Mrs. Scilla was then ordered to leave the house. e ee—— ZYNDA MAKING TRIP S.

Calals, Boulogne, Havre, Dieppe, | Dunkirk, Cherbourg and Saint Malo all are interested in both passenger and freight traffic with England. If the proposed $150,000,000 tun- nel is built from near Calais to Dover, opponents of the idea assert, |the channel shipping business will all but cease and much of the trans-Atlantic traffic will be divert- ed. It is contended that many Americans would go first to Eng- |land and cross to France on fast tunnel trains that would run on a schedule of less than three hours |from London to Paris. | Although the French end of the | channel subway would be near here it is not expected many people would interrupt their trip to Paris or to London simply to see the (Couunu«ed on Pnge Seven)
