Late yesterday evening Clara LAM
pard, by her attorneys, served the nee
essary papers for limited divorce on
her husband. Frank Lampard. 1t is al
legged in the complaint that the parties
to the suit are aged twenty-five and
tWenty-nine respectively, and were
married July 30, 1854, at Berlin, Wis.
The issue of the union is two Infants of
tender years. who are now in the Gus
tody of the mother. Cruel and inhuman
treatment is made the basis for the suit.
the instances of such brutality being
more particularly specified as follows:
Sometime in January 1889, while the
IampardS were conducting boarding
house, the husband, it is claimed, with
out any CAUSE or prOvDcation. compelled
his wife to remain in her room and re-
fused to allow her to assist i'll the man
agement of the house, although she was
q half owner OF the business. Prior to
this, it is further alleged that he had
struck his wife in the f2cn with his
clinched hand. and on Feb. l, 1889, or
Whereabouts, to make matters verse, he
insisted. against the protestati0ns and
entreatieS of his wife, that his mother
(her mother-in-iaw) take up her ABODE
in the house and assume charge OF the
same, and this for the purpose
i'll the eyes of the neighbors,
and driving her from the house. Later
on, the complaint states. Larnpard be-
came so abusive that his wife, by reason
OF his cruely, was obliged to seek her
mothers home. although at the time
she was pregnant with child. Since the
month of February he has failed topro-
vide for her i'll any manner, notwlth-
standing he is an able-b0ded man aud
getting ii large salary. On this account
she has been obliged to ask assistance
of her parents and relatives for the
support OF herself and childTen. and
Judgment is asked.
FirSt-For separation from bed aud
board for such time as the court shall
deem proper. 49,
Second-Ihat the wife have the Gus.
tody of the children during such sepafa-
ton.
Third-That the husband pay to her
such sums of money as in the discretion
of the court shall be just and proper.
AN OLD STORY.
There are always TWO sides OF every
case, even the festive divorce case, ana
the present unplcasantness is no ex-
ceptfon to the general rule. 1t Is an old
story. but will bear repetition, because
of the slightly romantic flavor connected
with it. Here is the yarn as given to
the reporter: -Four years ago, in that
burgh of the euphonious name. Osn-
kOsh. Frank Lanpard, wel!-to-9o
young man. woOed and wed Clara
Miner, a girl just out of her teens.
Frank was piano tuner by trade, and
by dint of thrift he managek 10 lay
by considerable of the worlds goods.
In the course of time, MIR. and Mrs.
Lampard moved to Wakefield, Mich,
where the former and Mr.. Miner, his
father-in-iaW, opened the Miner house.
This venture did not prove oversize
cessful, for, after short stay, the
young married coupled hied themselves
to the class shades of st. Paul Park,
suburb of st Paul. Here Lampard tried
his hand again at the fatuouS business
of running d motel. The Parker house
was the name of the new hosteliy, and
was managed under the firm name of
Lampard Il Miner. A heavy drain was
made on Frank bank account, and he
was Obliged, in order to prevent HIM
self, like the famous Dan McGlnty,
from going Ito the bottom of the h0ie,"
to max loan of 81, $50 of his MOTHER.
Della a. Lampard. for which he gave. as
security, chattel mortgage on the
hotel furniture. The Parker house.
like the Miner, proved nOn-paying In
vestment. but Frank, nothing dauDted
by these continued reVeIseS, resolved to
try again, this time selecting st. Paul
as the home of his future destiny. His
mother permitted him to take furniture
with him, provided the note was. re-
newed and secured. Ibis was done.
Up to Dec. 81 the partnership consisted
of Frank Lampard. Clara Lampard,.
Henry ID. Miner and Jennie Miner. bus
on that day the firm dissolved, the Lam
pardS deciding all their interest in the
Michigan property to the Miners.
So Lampard and MS wife came to st.
Paul and for the third time started a
hotel, on this occasion at $40 and 542
Canada street. Providence, which
until now had been winking at the
determined young couple, through a
smoked glass, unmaSked for Oh" and
actually deigned TO smile on the he
boarding house was Ego" ifU.n the
start, and the host and hostess became
very popular with their guests, OF whom
they had many. But their success
proved shor-liyed. About Christmas,
1888, family troubles crept into the
popular resort, and it was not long be-
fore the house was iii tumult OF ex-
element.
THE DIFFICULTY AROSE
over the furniture and business, the
latter being owned equally between the
husband and wife. The former accused
the latter of wishing to dSDuse of it I'M
known to him. and of giving note to
cover loan she made. There
were many suits and much trou-
BILE over 1t, all Of which went
into the courts. Finally, on
Feb. 8. early in the morning, the family
fuss eliminated in the departure from
the house of Mrs. LamDard, who took 4
with her the little baby girl. This was
the beginning of bitter wraugle be- 4
tween husband and wife, which ended
in the suit for limited divorce Inen-sI
toned above The sheriff's officers
have occupied the boarding house in 4
question off and on ever since, and the
outcome of the marital disagreement
has been half dozen suitS brought in
the district court by Clara Lampard
against her. husband. Mrs. Della A.
Lampard's chattel mortgage was, of
course, an etfectual barrier against her
daugilter-in-law in the latter's efforts to 4
get control of the household effects. All.
Frank Lampard was hot behind the
collar over his wife's fight. The result
was notice which appeared ia an eVen-yy
ing paper as follows:
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Feb 81. ISS9--My wife. Clara
Lampard, having deserted me and abandonedi
my home bed and board without cause or
provocHtion. notice IS hereby given that T.

contracts for necessaries that she NAV pur-
chase OF engage for her use or otherwise. "a
