CHATHAM MANS HABITS LEAD
TO DiVORCE-DRuNk MOST
OF THE TIME.

Pearl Wake. a pretty little woman
from Chatham. Ont, will probably get
a divorce as a result OF the story she
told 10 Judge Rohnert in circuit court
Thursday morning. She testified that
her husband. Arthur j. Wake. TO whom
she was married in Chatham in 1904,
and who still resides In the Canadian
city. was drunk almost continuously
from the day she married him until
she left in 1905.
Mrs. Wake told OF coming to De
troit with her husband on an excur-
sion two years ago. when he became
so drunk that he was unable TO nayi-
gate. and II was necessary TO send
him home In the baggage car. She said
that once he pointed a revolver at her
while he was intoxicated. and at an
other time he smashed the furniture
and tore her clothes 10 shreds. Ar
thur was also in the habit OF sitting
besides his wife's bed and smoking
cigarettes the greater part OF the night
so Mrs. Wake said. making II impos-
sible for her 10 sleep. The wife has
resided in Detroit for two years.

COFFROTH ARRESTED
ON FELONY CHARGE

Gets Warrant for Promoter

James w. Coffroth, the fight promo
ter, was arrested yesterday afternoon
On charge of assault with deadly
weapon upon Charles w. Dixon, Bat
Ting Nelson's time keeper at the Mel
son-Gans fight. The warrant was is

Dixon had sworn to it and exhibited
several scalp wounds as evidence that
Cofroth used knife on him. Coffroth
was Immediately released on 5000 cash
bail, which he furnished.
The arrest of Coffroth is the finis
Of long drawn out feud between him
self and Dixon. On the night of July
4, while the receipts of the big fight
were being counted in The Willis sa-
loon in Ellis street, Dixon and Coff-
roth engaged in a wordy war regard
ing the conducting of fights by promo
ters.
During the fight Dixon alleges that
Cofroth chased him into a side room
and cut him several times on the head
and under the arm with a knife. Coff-
roth denied emphatically that he used
knife on Dixon, but Dr. William
Clark, the physician who dressed Dix
on's wounds. said they Were produced
by some keen edged instrument.
The fight created excitement all
along the line because of the promi-
ence of the participants. Every cf-
fort was used to Keep it away from the
public, but without avail Since then
efforts have been made to settle the
matter, but il is understood Coffroth
