WIFE SWIPED
HIS PLUG

A big auto standing still at
the roadside-stranded, was the
spectacle that met the bewiI-
dered gaze of an officer as he
rounded the corner at Scott
street and Sprague avenue this
morning. "Aha! a stolen whiz
wagon" was his first impuisive
expression.
But no, it wasn't stolen. It
II understood that certain
man who owned the touring
machine had a misunderstand-
ing or maybe strict and un-
clouded understanding with his
wife over his conduct, or which
she could not conscientiously
approve, and that she stole the
plug to his machine.

heavy in terest of ten per cent. The
case got into the courts, the law de-
