HIS BETTER HALF Pat Garrity's Wife Puts Tjp a Good Fight When Officer Ben Robblns got on a Pico street ear yesterday afternoon he was not looking for trouble, but he cer tainly found some. Seated at the end of the conveyance were Pat Garrity and his wife. It so happened that Pat had been imbibing and was feeling gay. "The top of the morning to yez, yez limping blackguard," said he to the of ficer. "Do yez want to foight?" No time was there for a reply, for he had already divested himself of his coat and made a lunge at the officer's physiogno my. The fight was a pretty one and lasted three minutes. At the end of the first round the officer was sitting on the belligerent's chest. The second brought reserve forces to the front in the person of Mrs. Jane Doe Garrity, whose reputation for "scrap ping" is only equaled by that of her hus band. Four times did the handicapped officer throw the enraged spouse to the ground and three times did she rise to the occasion and renew the attack. At the end of the fourth round Officer Rosso and the conductor called "time," and both Put nnd his wife were presented with a pair of handsome bracelets.
