NEW AUTOMOBILE IS
 CAUSE OF TROUBLE
That, With Dreams About ReVOl- CTS, Causes Ruction in Family

There is no place in the home of MT, and Mrs. John Densk on Starr street for revolvers, dreams and auto mobiles, according to the testimony of Mrs. Densk when she appeared be- fore Judge James T. Meskill in police court this morning charging her hus- band with drunkenness, breach of the peace and assault. Therefore, after awakening from her dream. she turned the revolver over to the police and told the judge about the automobile.
 Officer Frank Moore was called into the Densk home at 12:45 o'clock this morning to arrest the husband on complaint of his wife. On the wit ness stand Mrs. Densk told the prose- cutor that she would tell her story to the judge in German as she could not speak English f1uently, but both court officials objected and she did fairly well in the language of her adopted country She said her husband has threatened to kill her and she found a revolver and five bullets in his trunk and gave them to the police. Yester- day she said her husband became real angry at finding she had been rum maging through his trunk and last night was further aggrieved to find she had taken his gun. The woman admitted that her husband wants to move and is jealous of his next door neighbor, but Mrs. Densk said his fears are foolish as the attractive neighbor has wife of his own with whom he is very we'll pleased. She concluded her testimony by declaring that she didn't want to live with him any more because he was a mean old thing
 It remained for Mrs. Augusta Klein smidt, however, to put the finishing touches on the rather humorous testi- mony already introduced. She said that yesterday morning Mrs. Densk came to her with fear in her eyes, ex- plaining that she had just awakened from horrible dream.
 I'll bet it was about Johns re- volver. Come. we'll look" advised Mrs. KIeinsmidt, and straightway the two women ransa cked the trunk and confiscated the gun.
 Furthermore, Mrs. Kleinsmidt said that Densk has recently purchased an automob bile and spends every cent he can raise on that.
 Densk proved to be a rather good natured witness, but he blamed all the trouble on his wife. He declared that during the past two weeks she has spent $20 of his hard earned money and that is far too much, espe- cially since he has just purchased an automobile and needs all his extra coin to keep it in repair He denied being drunk last night and said he had been out from o'clock until midnight trying to learn how to run his car When he returned home at mid night he did not find any supper awaiting him; instead his wife was in bed snoring. He objected to this re- ception, after which he said she bounced couple of wooden boxes off his cranium, and exhibited the bruised portions of his skull to prove his as- sertiOn.
 "I guess we'll let MT. Connolly un- tangle this mess" remarked Judge Meskill as he placed Densl1 in charge of the probation officer Later, hus- band and wife left the court together, he promising to take her out for a nice long joy ride just as soon as he became the master of his automobile.
