"Once the boys feel that you are

Neighbors March in Body to
Home OF Joe Vodica;
Threatens to Cut
Heart Out.

Enraged because of the repeated
neatings administered by Joe Vod-
ica, to his wife, Bohemian women
in the vicinity of the Vodica resi-
dence, 5403 South Twentieth street,
took up the cudgel in defense of the
lone member Of their sex. They
went in body to his home and so
frightened Vodica that he decided
over all his property to his wife in
an attempt to conciliate her.
Mr.. and Mrs. Vodica have but re-
gently moved to the South Side.
When Vodica was aroused from his
slumbers Monday morning by his
wife, who told him that it was time
to go to work, he was so infuriated
that he proceeded to punish her for
disturbing him, it is alleged. Her
cries aroused the neighborhood. A
council was held among the women
and it was unanimously decided to
brighten the man.
March to Home.
Accordingly, in the evening the
women marched in body to Vod-
ica's home. They demanded admit
lance. and the husband, hearing of
their intention, cringed in corner
in an attempt to escape their wrath.
If you ever beat your wife again
I'll cut your heart out" said one of
the particularly large women threat
eningly confronting Vodica.
you are living in large town
and this is a civilized place, so you
had better be careful" another is al
legged to have told him.
Vodica was so frightened that he
signed over all his property to his
wife as reparation.
When Vodica appeared before Po-
lice Judge Fitzgerald to defend a
charge of abusing his wife he was
discharged, the judge believing he
had been sufficiently punished.
