MISPLACED CONFIDENCE.
1ribaisttons of . Yoang Man Who Mar
risd . Whole family.

An illustration of misplaced conf
dence was brought TO light in the cir
cult court yesterday when AvertE wa
kernaak filed his declaration as the
beginning OF a suit against his young
wife, Anna kwakernaak, TO compel her
70 convey piece OF property TO him
which he alleges he purchased with his
own money. lie turned the property
over 10 her at her solicitation IN order
to keep her in the family. He states
in his declaration that he came from
Holland three years ago when he was
but 10 years old, and that ne soon
made the acquaintance of Petrus
Scheppers and family. He was an heir
TO property in Holland from which he
would receive $1,000. and he incidently
mentioned this matter 10 the Scbep-
pers family. The family then treated
him with the utmost cordially and in
vited him TO be u frequent visitor TO
their house. Under the Holland law
a minor is given his inheritance as
soon as be takes unto himself "a wife,
and Scheppers reminded him OF this
fact. He had a charming daughter
10 years old, and she, too, began 10
take quite al interest in him. He was
a frequent visitor at the house, and
within two months the young daugh-
ter was his wife. The mother IN law
soon after suggested TO him that he
had better go over to Holland and
look after his property. He did 30,
and returned with a neat sum of
money, which, upon the solicitation
OF the family, he turned over 10 his
wife for safe keeping. The family then
took pleasant trip through the
West with Avert, at his expense, and
upon their return insisted that he buy
q home with the remainder of the
cash. On June z, 1890. he purchased
l-2 acres on Burton-ase., for $1,000.
and through the influence OF his vile
aud family the title was made out in
his wiie's name. They built u new
house and his wife's mother, father,
brother and sister moved in as joint
tenants. They soon grew tired oil
Avert, and sent him out TO work with
the understanding that his weekly
wages be turned over to them. He
works in the city and is obliged 10
walk to and from his work, a dis
tance of three miles. not being allowed
street car fare from his daily earn
ings. His wife's parents have alien
ated her affection from him and make
Ii so unpleasant for him that he wants
them 10 vacate. He asks the court 90
set aside the deed TO his wife and that
the property be restored TO him.
Judge Grove issued an Injunction TO
prevent any disposal of the property
until the case l. settled.

took her in tow and urged her that
the wishes of the dead be carried out,
otherwise he should feel it incumbent
upon him to vote for some other SITE
He stated that he had been offered
$1,000 to vote for the Comstock site

bear upon her, complainant states
that she yielded 10 their solicitations
and gave Barney Laraway a receipt
for $1,000. and that Barney gave her
back $467 in change. The remaining

City Engineer Collar was seen and
he explained the matter in this way:
You see," said he. that for the great
er part of the length OF the street, the
property owners have built area walls
and have laid stone walks. These
walks extend eight inches above the
curb line and the cutters have de
preston OF nine inches. making n
seventeen-inch rise from the pavement.
This requires a bridge at every cross

for pedestrians. Had all these Inn

ranged. As it II. the new pavement
