NlELD vs.. NIELD.

NlELD vs.. NIELD.
Divorce Case with Some Sensatio nal
Charges.
The greater portion of the Redwood
public are aware of the fact that q
suit for divorce has been instituted by
Mary E. Nield, against George w.
Nield, of the firm of G.. w. Nield g.
Co., furniture dealers on Mill street.
The complaint in the case has been
served upon the defendant, an appli-
cation for alimony has been made, and
a restraining order issued out of Judge
Webber's court to prevent the sale of
any furniture in the store on Mill
street until further orders from the
court.
The complaint of the plaintiff is a
voluminous document, twenty-one
counts being given. It states that the
plaintiff is "a years and the defendant
So years of age; that they were mar
ried Oct. Is, 1881, and that they have
two children, aged 10 and years re-
spectively. A general charge of cruel
and inhuman treatment follows, in
which it is alleged that the defendant
used vile and abusive language unfit
to be mentioned, striking, beating,
bruising her. and accusing her of
adultery, all of which is alleged to
harass and distress her mind.
On Jan. Is, 1884, Mrs. Nield accuses
her husband of having sworn, and
struck at her, at the same time eject
ing her from the house, ordering her
not to return, and accusing her of not
being chaste and true. On Jan. Is,
1885, while the plaintiff was encinte
the defendant is accused of having
stated that he was not the father of
the unborn child. On Aug. Is, 1886,
on July Is, 1883, and Nov. l, 1889, the
defendant is accused of having struck
and sworn at the plaintiff, and on Aug.
Is, 1890, and on Aug. l, 1891, he
abused her and elected her from the
residence, both times without cause,
according to the complaint. On Aug.
l, 1892, on Nov. 81, 1892. and on Dec.
rs, 1892, this line of abuses was con-
tinued according to the complaint and
all of the above specific charges are
cited as grounds for an unlimited d.
vorce, and for the plaintiff having
possession of the children until they
are of age, for alimony pending the
action, and for an equal division of
the property, which is practically the
furniture in Masonic block on Mill
street, valued at about $500.
The fact that a divorce was being
sued for has been known for some
time,but the general opinion was that
the case would be settled outside OF
the courts, thus avoiding publicity
But three meetings of the persons di-
rectly interested availed naught, the
bones of contention being a division
of the property and the custody Of
the children, and the case now, in all
probability, will be left for Judge
Weber to decide.
A GAZETTE reporter called on Mr.
Nield to obtain his side of the case
but he positively refused to be inter.
viewed. 81 have nothing to say in
regard to the natter" said Mr.. Nield
II will not say anything
A-statement was made yesterday
that the case had been settled, Mr.
Nield to give Mrs. Nield $500 and
pay her attorneys fees of 500, and
give her custody of the children. An
attempt to verify or obtain denial
proved fruitless.
Mr.. Nield has resided in the com
munity for number of years, and is
generally regarded as an honorable
citizen. The bulk of the sympathy
seems to be with HIM, although Mrs
Nield has her friends.
