A PECULIAR GROUND.
Attorney Wbilttmore mentioned the
suit Oi Joseph A. Busby vs. Ida Busoy,
In which IA divorce Is sought on the
and unusual ground OF tho
wife being an alleged habitual opium
eater. The application was to put ia
additional testlmony. IL Ia commended
that owing 20 tho defendant being
habltually addicted TO the use Of opium
she has rendered herself wholly IN.
to discharge properly the
duties Of awife anu mother.
Judge Battoh took occasion to re-
mark that It was a serious question In
his mind whether our statutes would
apply TO such CRse-intOK ication by
the use Of opium, His honor took time
10 consider tho application OF counsel.
