the table last evening and fired at
Gust A. Peterson, the bullet passing
through his left wrist.

cording to the police, and she rem
dered first aid and then accompanied
hubby to a physicians office, where
the wound was given attention. A
call TO the police had been made by
neighbors and the couple were taken
to the station This morning they de-
cided to forgive and forget" and left
the station arm in arm, the husband
refusing to make any complaint
against his wife.

worked all morning he went home at
noon. where verbal combat became
so warm he left and didn't return I'M
til night. When the engagement re-
opened with greater violence than
ever he started to leave the second
time when Mrs. Peterson drew the
gun and brought the incident to a
startling climax.
