Of Roussville, Mrs. sweetlsnd and Mrs,
Rose, to-day caused the arrest Of a man
named GROCER tor cruelty to his wife,
Emeline, and he was held to answer at
court, The wife was found in an old
house about eight miles from this city; The
place was inll OF filth, sheep herding In
the same building. She was naked, antl
covered only by what appeared 10 DO an
old buffalo robe. GROCER had fed her on
corn meal. There was no fire in the place,
and the poor creature had huddled among
the sheep for warmth. She could not be
induced to rise and bO dressed until aAsur-
I'd that GROCER was In custody.
The mans explanation was: "9he Is
sane, but devlliRh, aud / wanted to take
the Cussedness out Of her." This cruelty
has been going on for years. The country
is sparsely settled, and such neighhors o.
there arc scattered about were afraid Il
interfere. Public feeling iH against GrogOr
and his attempted explanations are moi
well received. The woman was lRken X
