AGED COUPLE IN
PROPERTY DISPUTE
Trouble Arises When Wife Sc:
cures Sole Title to Real
Estate

After 80 placid years of married con-
tent, the savings that were to support
their declining days have brought bit
terness to the home of John Joseph and
Mary T. Driscon at 1905 Sixth avenue
South. Memories of youthful romance
and the sentiment of long years of
companionship have vanished before
the material question as to who is TO be
in control of $4,000 worth of property.
Driscol's grievance against his wife
became of record yesterday in dry
looking suit filed by Stafford & Stafford
to quiet title. In it he wished his title
near his home which comprise the Dris-
coll estate.
The trouble began April 81 1908. says
Driscoll. That date his wife persuaded
him that ii would do away with con-
fusion to let her bring the suit in her
own name under the McEnerney act, by
which they would establish proof of
their ownership in the courts.
As they had always lived happily to-
! gether and had full faith and confidence
in each other the complaint states,
Driscoll yielded to his wffe's wish and
let her bring the suit.
When the McEnerney case went to
trial last October Driscolls doubts be-
gan TO rise to his wife's devotion.
His suggestion that he put the property
in his name, or both names jointly, was
rejected, and the decree was entered in
favor of Mrs. Driscoll December -.
Since then, Driscoll says. his wife has
been so Independent. toward him that
he feels a stranger in his own home.
All pretense at amity has been out of
the question. He is now trusting to the
courts to modify the decree so as to
give him his half.

guarding the Seventh street Southern
Pacific station at night, went wild in
the Sixth street engine house, between
Washington street and Broadway, at l
o'clock this morning, permitted a pris-

chased Extraman Arthur Doody out of
the firehouse with his revolver, accord
ing to charges which the crew made to
Fire Marshal Ball today.

Most of the firehouse crew had gone
10 bed IN the dermitory above the sta
ton when Burke entered. He brought
with him youth who was showing a
union card and protesting that he was
employed at the Dow iron works.
Burke. say the firemen, called the pris-
oner a liar" and struck him several
times. Then the firemen interfered and
Burke turned on them.
He made them stand around, threat
so terrified that none dared to ring the
bell to call a policeman. All were un-
armed. and Burke, it is said, had a free
run. lie suddenly became angered at
Doody and drove the eXtraman out of
the back door. In the meantime the
prisoner left and Burke compelled the
hremen to give him access to the DOR
mitory, where he awakened the sleep
ers and scared them as he had the men
on watch below. 1t was Is minutes,
the firemen allege, before they could
get the policeman out of the engine
house.
Later Doody returned with Patrolman
Teehan, who was not able to find the
railroad policeman. Teehan made q re-
port of the affair to the police station.
While Burke held his prisoner in the
firehouse awaiting the patrol wagon,
the youth told the firemen that he was
unJustly arrested. He said that he
saw Burke leading man, and fol-
lowed. The prisoner broke away and
ran and Burke, turning, grabbed the
unknown iron worker
