ternal injuries. Attached to the petit
tion was an affidavit, sworn to by the
plaintiff, stating that by reason OF his
poverty he was unable to put up bond
for the costs. This is not an unusual
proceeding, but in this case II is
worthy OF mention. As soon as he had

good hard earned money, No poverty
affidavit goes in the probate court.

abundance of nerve to got married.
