HOLDS HUSBAND
HAS RIGHT TO
HIS OWN HOME

James Compton, arraigned in po-
lice court yesterday on a charge
of disorderly conduct on Complaint
of his wife. Mary Compton, was
dismissed.
The couple live at Sixteenth ave
nue. and Forty-fourth street. For
some time previous to the occasion
by which complaint was made
Compton had beeen working in
West Liberty, Iowa When he re-
turned, he found that against his
wishes a boarder was staying in his
home.
Mrs. Compton, claimed that he
tried to break into the house by
kicking in the door, and that he
cursed her strongly when she re-
fused him entrance.
Compton claimed that he had a
right to entrance into his home, the
rent for which he said he had been
paying. He also said that he had
contributed the money for the gro
Gerry bills and that he fully ex-
pected to be permitted entrance as
the man of the house.
The reason of his violence he at
tributed to the anger by which he
was aroused on learning that a
man unknown to him was staying
in his house and was given en-
trance at late hours. He said that
when he came out to his home last
Tuesday he saw his wife open the
back door for another man.

was a boarder in the home. He be
came Infatuated and attempted to
gain entrance by violence. When
he could not get in the back door
he rushed to the front and had a
struggle with his wife when she
attempted to hit him with a vessel
from a stove near at hand. He de-
feated her efforts and prevented
her from calling the police. In the
meantime the boarder had fed.
Mrs. Compton claimed that the
words used by him when breaking
in the house were unfit for publ
cation. He admitted using them
but said they were justified by the
situation which he suspected
Police Magistrate d. ]. Cleland
said he believed the case was one
which should be brought up before
higher authority. Although Comp

before the court, but said he was
asleep until the turmoil had
quieted down. He is an employe
at the Rock Island arsenal.
