Throughout the Northern range So

upon the cowboys. A great improve

of the United States now compares fav-
orally with that of other large enter

PIREEKsBURs, February .. - Frank
Petit . young gentleman Who resides in
Calhoun county, sues for divorce from bis
wife nee Munroe. The allegations in the
petition disclose that Franks wedding.
took place under stringent circumstances.
According to his story, he had been an old
acquaintance of the Munroe family, and
was at one time an intimate friend Of the
lady, now his wife. About eight or ten
months ago Petit went West and returned
on his way home some weeks aimee. In
going up West Fork to his home he had
to pass the house Of Asa Munroe. He
concluded to stop and see the family and
rest before proceeding further on his jour.
ney, and walking up to the house was
seized by the old gentleman and
three stalwart boys who invit.
ed him to enter. Upon his en-.
trance the old man closed and locked the
oOOF huu turning, couIrOutco tue hstOnlsn-
ed Petit with pistol. he then informed
Petit that be must marry the girl whom
he called into the room. She came, aud
to Franks astonishment, brought fine
looking baby with her, whichshe told
Frank belonged to him. Petit said they
disarmed him and locked him up in
room where they kept him until the next
day, when they swore out warrant before
q Justice of the peace, after which he con-
tnued IN dursnce, kept in submission by
threats and ugly looking weapons in the
hands of the old man and his three stall
wsrt sons for three days when Petit gave
in. They sent for license and a minis.
ter and married him vi ct armis, after
which he was suffered to depart.
He has instituted proceedings for di.
vorcs on the ground that his marriage took
place while under duress and in fear OF his
life Pettits attorney, believe, is Hon.
C. D. Caste, of Elizabeth.
