A Speolnl Police (tin Victim 'nf HIi Wife's lrc. "If 'twnro donn when 'twar don, thftn 'twero well it wero dono quickly." Thus spoko Shakespeare 400 years ago and also Mrs. Policeman William Dunn yestprday nftenkoon when flho proceeded to "do up" her better half, but was only stoppod by tho Intervention of tho sheriff. wrs. Dunn bears a rather unsavory repu tation as a "scrapper" and the ecrimmago sho had with her hubby yetrday after noon was by no means tho first. About 3 o'clock sho was telling her husband somo stories sho had heard about him and ho told her to shut up. Then her ire roao and sho picked up a chair and went for mm. After thoy had a couplo of rounds of tho chair, now taotlcs were adopted and sho went nt him with a knife, fork and n pair of scissors successively, but each tlmo h disarmed her nnd onco ho got a good grip on her neck, held her under a faucet to lot tho watpr cool her off, but It didn't. She next went nt him with her finger nalla mul from the wny tho policeman's faco is di'orated with red stripes tunning ln every direction, tho f.isslo must have been ii hot one. Tho shtiiff arrived during tho linger nail fight and escorted her to Justlcp Davis' olllce, who fined her J10 and costs. Thero was a previous case nga(nst h,er which sho hadn't paid up, and for which her hiAfband had gone hall. This Inst straw broko tho camel's back, howovor, for hej withdrew his ball and shp was forced to settlo up that case nlso. Every body who Knows Mr. Dunn knows that ho doesn't look llko a hen-pecked husband, for ho carries his 300 pounds with all tho grace of an Adonis. Mrs. Dunn nlso tips tlio beam at about 175 but It Is evident that what she laeks In avoirdupois Is umply mndo up In trmpcr, nnd that a phrenologist would dlagnoso her bump of eombatlvc ncss an "hot stuff."
