We judge from the Canton News of
the 5th that ill-luck is pursuing our
friend W. r. Bennett, who some time
ago took the Naylor House at that
place and became landlord. It seems
that Mr.. B. became jealous of Frank
Lord, also we'll known here, and a fam
lily difficulty followed. Frank left for
Sioux Falls. Soon after Bennett caught
Mrs. i. reading letter clandestinely
obtained, it seems, and another difficult
ty was the result. Mrs. B. then took
her youngest Child and left for Sioux
Falls, leaving the oldest child with it's
father. Mr.. bennett then employe,l q
widow lady to take care of the house
and the child, and Mrs. B. hearing of
this, suddenly returned and assaulted
the widow twice, for which she was ar
rested and fined $40. She appealed and
gave bond for her appearance in the
sum Of $50. The children were sent to
Sioux Falls and 50 the matter stands
for the present. But the most singu-
lar and astonishing thing about this
trial WAS the following bit Of testimo-
ny, which will surprise Worthington
people, where Mr.. 3. and wife are well
known:
Mrs. Swails testified how tn" defend
ant had banged and u,a!!yNcd her; Ben
nett told what he knew about the skir-
mish, and then Mrs. B. gave evidence
in Eec cWn behalf Said .,i;e WAS 20 years
old, and married Bel nett II years ago
at Peru. Ind. She Thought the woman
not Il proper one TO have care Of her
child. and so told her to- get ont. De-
nipd striking her, etc. Then Bennett
WAS recalled and swure that he wns
NEVER MARRIED. TO TIE WOMAN
known as Mrs. b.; that their union was
simply one OF convenience, and had
never been legaljZed hy law. Then Mrs.
y. took the stand and Hwure that they
were married; that Bennett was her
second husband, number one having
died of yellow fever after brief six
months Of we<|url bliss.
