The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1894-06-14

Considerable local interest is
taken in the breech of promise suit
against G: H. Saulpaugh Of Mankato.
Mr.. and Mrs. Saulpaugh are we'll
known to many Worthington people.
The last Free Press says: Papers
were filed Friday in the sensational
suit Of Victoria A. Stein VS.. Clarence
H. Saulpaugh. Considerable interest
has been manifest in the case, whic h
promises to be a most sensational one
and to involve some prominent people
of Minneapolis before the trial is end
ed. The plaintiff, Victoria A. Stein,
is now resident of Chicago. The
complaint, which was filed with clerk
Of the District Court of Blue Earth
county, Minnesota, today, by Jones,
Samuels & Culver, Chicago Lawyers,
and VIM. N. Plymat, of this city, who
are attorneys for the plaintiff, gives
for the first time the real grounds Up
on which the plaintiff proceeds. The
complaint states that in May, 1898,
Mr.. Saulpaugh promis Jed plaintiff to
make her his wife, and that, relying
upon his promise, the plaintiff re-
manned unmarried, and that she now
demands $4,000 damages for the
breach of the contract. The attorneys
have proceeded under the common
law. AS Mr.. Saulpaugh has since
married, the first proceeding is to ask
damages for breech of contract. Mr..
Saulpaugh has rather shown dispo-
sition to make light of the proceedings
and has avowed his intention of fight
ing the suit to the end. One of the
features of the trial, is the fact that
the attorneys for Victoria A. Stein,
have in their possession large
number of letters and kilograms
written by Mr.. Saulpaugh, in which
it is claimed that Mr.. Saulpaugh
showed most violent demonstrations
of his affection for the plaintiff, and
has repeatedly promised to marry
her. 1t is asserted, the letters show
that Mr.. Saulpaugh promised to
marry the woman in a reasonable
time after the death of his mother, that
after Mr.. Saulpaugh's mother died, in
Minneapolis in 1892, the plaintiff
requested the defendant to marry her
according to his promise, which he
again agreed and promised to do, but
in October, 1893, Mr.. Saulpaugh
married the woman who is now his
wife.
On next Sunday morning, at the
Presbyterian church, the subject of
the sermon will be: ''How to Deal
with Burdens?' The evening service

McC ormick Theological seminary,

The teachers of our high school
and their friends were invited by the
ladies of the Baptist church to meet
at the palatial residences of A. G.
Hedberg and Gus Swanberg Satur-
day night last for the purpose OF
biding farewell to Misses Bateman
and Webb, who have left for their
respective homes, until our school
re-opens next fall. The parties who
participated were loud in their praises
for the efficient manner in which
Misses Webb and Bateman have
handled their respective S. S. classes
during their past stay with us. Ice
cream and cake were the order of the
evening and an enjoyable time was
had.
