JAILED FOR ASSAULT ON HIS WIFE

Godfrey Berger was given 15 days in jail Monday by Justice Gibson for assaulting his wife. Saturday evening Berger turned his wife and children out of the house. He was crazy drunk on wine, of which he had large quantity in his cellar. Marshal Kelsey and Officer Collins arrested him. He is a big, powerful fellow and it took considerable diplomacy to land him in jail without a bad fight. Their home is on Seventh street and a patrol wagon would have come in handy Saturday night.
