IN TROUBLE AGAIN
EVAN FISHER PAYS A FINE IN
POLICE COURT. e..o
WIFE CAUSES HIS ARREST
Alleged That He Turned His Children
Out of Doors ana Acted in an
Unbecoming Manner.

The marital woes of Mr.. and FRS.
Evan Fisher were again aired in the
police court this morning.
AS has been the case on, previous
occasions. the fond wife relented after
the alleged erring husband had made
many promises of future good conduct,
and the matter ended as far as the
present jurisdiction OF the court is con-
cerned with the payment of a $40 fine
by Fisher. y.
Evan Fisher is an assayer and wolf
known to business men of the city. His
wife says he is fond and generous
husband and father when not drinking.
She told Judge Boyle, however, that
her husband was frequently under the
influence Of strong drink, and that when
in that condition was anything but
| what he should be toward his fam
| lily.
Afraid Of Husband.
| She said she was afraid of her hus-
| band to the extent that his liberty was
| a menace to her life and limb.
Judge Boyle referred Mrs. Fisher to
| the county attorneys office, where the
woman went with her three small chill
| dren in an effort to have her husband
| bound over to keep the peace.
Mrs. Fisher was not successful in her
| endeavor and returned to Judge Boyle.
where she met her husband, who had
been pleading in his own behalf. Then
the matter was fully aired.
Fisher, 1t appeared, was arrested last
! night on complaint of his wife. She
charged him with disturbing the peace
! and quiet of their home and with mali
| ciOus mischief. 81
She declared he had driven their three
| small children out int, the snow and
had made unreasonable demands upon
her.
Mrs. Fisher refused to do her hus-
bands bidding and. becoming fearful
at his subsequent demeanor, caused his
| arrest. b.
Has Much Money.
At the city Jail it was found that
| Fisher had trihe more than 1926 in
his possession. and a razor in his pocket.
| The finding of the concealed weapon
! ordinarily would have resulted in an ad-
ditiOnal charge, but as justice is often
| tempered with mercy Fisher escaped. He
furnished bond in the sum Of $50 for
| his appearance.
Fisher was not in court this morning
| when his name was called, and Judge
Boyle granted him "a hours in which to
plead. Mrs. Fisher was present. how
| ever, and told Judge Boyle in private a
pitiable tale.
She said she had not money with which
to provide the necessaries of life for her
self and children. She said the butcher
and others must be paid, and she had
no money to give them.
She called attention to her children
and said all We're compelled to tramp
through the snow with her this morning
without rubbers. She wanted to know
if there was not some way that she could
get some of the money her husband had
on deposit with the jailer.
Penitent to a Degree.
When Fisher did appear he was peni.
tent to a degree. He denied mistreat.
ing his wife and then added in response
to a suggestion from Judge Boyle tina,
drink was the cause of the entire trOu'
BILE. He was willing, he said, that Mrs
Fisher should have. $50 of his money
and ordered that sum turned over Il
her.
Later. when Mrs. Fisher returned Il
the police court. Fisner agreed to Civ
her SIS, and promiSed to cause no NOR
domestic woe. He was then fined 81
and released after turning over ito hi
wife the amount agreed upon.
What disturbed Fisher more than any
thing else after the case had been set
tied, was that he might achieve no
toriety because Of his escapade.
He sought the aid of Jailer Sol Lev.
and others in his behalf, but withou
result. and finally offered $3.50 for tn
purchase of a box of cigars il the mat
ter would be dropped.
