MARRIED LIFE UNHAPPY Mary Wagnener Desires a Decree of Separation from her Husband--Police Court Case. Mary WAGENER has come to the conclusion that life with Carl WAGENER, her husband, is a dreary, dull monotony and she has begun proceedings to obtain a legal separation from her husband. They are not young people. WAGENER is 72 and his wife is 66. They were married a year ago this month. Mrs. WAGENER who was Mary SCHMIDT, lived on a comfortable farm in Penfield, and had everything that she desired. She was then a widow. They met through a mutual friend, and for a time they were very happy. About six weeks ago Mrs. WAGENER had her husband arrested for assault. The case came up in police court, and WAGENER was honorably discharged. They went back to their West Maple street home, but WAGENER said he was going to take roomers. Last Sunday trouble broke out afresh. The wife became angered because her husband didn't bring home the kind of bread she wanted, and there was a big row. Mrs. WAGENER, it is claimed, seized a stew pan and struck her husband a terrible blow over the head with it. WAGENER had her arrested, but the case was put over until this morning. Mrs. WAGENER went to a law firm a few days ago and retained them to represent her in an action for separation which she said she was about to bring against WAGENER. She alleges that because of his cruelty it is impossible for her to live in the house with him. After listening to the testimony in the case of Mrs. WAGENER, charged with assault on her husband, Judge WHITE discharged Mrs. WAGENER and expressed the opinion that both of them had disturbed the peace of the neighborhood in which they live.
