Wife Suing for Divorce Got Mad Because Spooks Told Her He Was Unfaithful Says Mr. GerbigMrs. Anna Gerbig of Hillsboro, Vernon county, Wis., is a believer in “spooks.” Her husband. George Gerbig, is not. and he contends in an answer to his wife’s suit for divorce that spirits, mediums, fortunetellers and dreams were the chief causes for the matrimonial troublesof the Gerbig household, althoughMrs. Gerbig charges cruel and inhuman treatment on the part of hersponse.The alleged farts came to light in circuit court on Saturday morning when Attorney E. j. Hammer, Hillsboro, filed a petition with Judge E. C. Higbee asking for temporary alimony for Mrs. Gerbig.Gerbig set up that his wife is a strong believer in dreams, that she hobnobs with spirits frequently, andoccasionally goes to fortune tellers and spiritualist mediums.It was in one of the latter consultations, Gerbig maintains, that his wife was advised that he was being untrue to her.Gerbig states in his answer that one night Mrs. Gerbig had three dreams. He says they were all the same, and that they told her that her husband was overly friendly to other women.Mrs. Gerbig’s complaints are foreign to spooks, and deal with the flesh.
