GARAGE OWNER
|. FIGHTS oUST|NC
Seeks Injunction to Re-
strain u. S. Marshal
Ejecting Him.

William B. Clemmer, owner of the
Portland Garage, 612 l. street
northwest. filed a petition yesterday
in the District Supreme Court to
prevent Michael J. Keene and Maui
rice Splain, United States marshal
from ousting him from his place
of business.
Clemmer. in his petition. stated
that he purchased from J. NJ.
Peake, the garage business. When
the change was made, Clemmer
states, Keene was notified and
agreed to accept him as a tenant
instead of Peake.
Recently Keene sued Peake in the
Municipal Court and secured an or
der to oust him. Clemmer, being
in the place. and it appears that
he was there as a sub-tenant Of
Peake, and, therefore naturally
subject to the custer proceedings.
Fearing that his business would
suffer as a result of being put out
of the building. Clemmer asks the
District Supreme Court to enjoin
his landlord and the marshal until
the court has had time to pass upon
the legality OF his occupancy of the
premises. Attorneys Lambert and
Neatman appear for Clemmer.

REbUKES
Wife BEATER
Resents Attempt to Be-
smirch Character and I'M
poses Sentence.

A man may not assault his wife and
then attempt to justify his actions
by besmirching her character.
John T. Kidd. p, who has been mar
ried barely two months, and Is en-
ployed as a chauffer, found this out
in police court yesterday morning
when Judge Mcmahon sent him to Jail
for two months.
From the evidence. it appeared that
Kidd had had some disagreement with
his wife and she ran away from him
Kidd, it seems, got angry and struck
her in the face, nearly knocking her
unconscious.
When Judge McMahon asked the
husband in court If he had anything
to say about his act, Kidd took the
stand and blackened his wife's char
acter in such a manner that the court
was forced to call a halt.
Mrs. Kidd, who sat but a few feet
away, broke down and began to sob
at the charges made by her husband
She had to be assisted from the court
room.
You are not satisfied apparently
with making a brutal assault on your
wife" said the court. but you come
in here and attempt to justify your
actions by besmirching your wife, 3
character.
That sort OF thing will never get
you anywhere in this court. For a
man only married two months you
have made a fine record for your
self. You can serve two months in
iail"
