 Fifteen days in jail and probation when he comes back was his sem tence.
 Fist Used Here.

When the man asked for his money she could only pay him part of it and when the husband found it out. together with the fact that she lost the $5, he became angry and beat her. She claims he hit her over the eye and in the mouth with his fist. Her story was substantiated by lit tie girl named Olga Goodik who saw the whole affair. " Slips on Cornstarch.
 MT. Newbauer was represented by Attorney M. D. Sake, and he denied striking his wife. He said that she called him a name and when he started to step towards her his foot slipped in a pail of corn starch and he fell. As he fell, he claims to have saved himself by putting one hand on the stove and the other on his wifes face. His tale was corroborated by w. H. Smith, his foreman, and an- other witness would have given the same testimony had not Judge Mes kill declined to listen to it, declaring that he did not believe it.
 Before announcing his verdict the judge told the young couple that they ought to try to agree.
