A Sensational Suit.

LINCOLN, ILL.,, July 10. A most sensa-
tional suit was to-day filed in the circuit
court In 1881 William NJ. Dustan, a
banker of this city, was divorced from his
wife, Mary f. Dustan. They had lived
very unhappily and she left him. He OBJ
tanned the divorce on the grounds of de-
s%ertion. The division of the property
was then made. He represented himself
to be worth about sl0,O and the court
gave Mrs. Dustan IS, 300. The suit is
brought to set aside the agreement and to
recover an equitable share of his fortune,
which she alleges to have been at the
time the divorce was granted, $l00, 900.
The bill sets forth a good deal of unpieas-
ant domestic history. Among other
things, she charges that she left him for
his infdelities. The alimony was to be
paid in installments, and she charges in
her bill that part of it is yet unpaid,
though due, and he delayed by every pos
sible device what he paid. At one time
he retained $50 for a ring which she took
away, and which he himself had given
her many years before on the birth OF
their second child At another time he
kept $40 for a couple of grape roots which
she dug up in the yard. Williams 4
Cation, of Bloomington are her attorneys.
The defendant is known to be wealthy.
and both he and the divorced wife move
in the highest circles of society. A family
Of grown children are cultivated ant
highly esteemed. The suit will stii
lincoln society to its foundations, and ex
pectation is all agog.
