BRIGHT KENTUCKY WIFE.
Carried Money in Her Belt Four
Years.


LOUISVILLE, KY, May 3.-It very
seldom happens that a wife carries
81, 500 hid on her person for four years
and her husband never finds out any
thing about it. Such thing has hap
pened, however, according to a depo-
sitiOn in a case which Judge Edwards
decided. The suit in question was
that of Sol McCullom & Bro, the
brick men, against III. b. and Eliza A.
Freeman. The defendants are hus-
band and wife and they owed the
plaintiffs bill of about $500. McCul-
lom Bros. sued them for the amount
and asked for the sale cf their proper
ty to satisfy the debt, claiming Free
man purchased the property and then
decided it to his wife.
In her defense Mrs. Freeman alleged
that when she married her husband
her personal property did not become
his and that she purchased .the prop
erty in controversy with her own
funds.
She says she carried around for four
years s., 500 hid on her person which
her husband knew nothing of, and it
was out OF this sum she made the pur-
chase. Attorney Rucker, however,
argued that the wife was in the hus-
bands possession and that therefore
the money she had on her person was
also in his possession, and for that
reason the property was also his and
subject to his debts.
Judge Edwards looked at it in the
same way and decided in favor of the
plaintiffs, ordering sale of the prop
erty.

TWO FIRES In ONE NIGHT.
Store, Two Dwellings and South Sid,
Club House Burned.

Store, Two Dwellings and South Side
Club House Burned.
On May I'd fire was discovered
about 7:30 p. m. on the South Side in
the Club House, run by "Boss" New
som. A ten-pin-alley was also run
there. The outfit was completely de-
stroyed by the flames, on which there
was an insurance of about ST., 800. A.
G. Green's 81 200 soda fountain, with
no insurance, was also burned or
ruined.
The second alarm was turned in
about 1:30 a. m. May 3rd. The fire
was discovered to be In the residence
of Thomas Bailey, colored, on Ninth
street. 1t was double house, con-
tanning five or six rooms and was oc-
cupied by Bailey. The colOred Hook
and Ladder Company was quick to re-
spond to the alarm and put in some
splendid work. They were unable,
however, to save the buildings from
complete destruction. Only few
household goods were saved. The two
Winston fire companies and the hose
wagon of the Salem company also
turned out but owing to the long
distance of the hydrant, were unable
to put in any effective WORK.
The flames spread to the store-hOuse
of F. Ell. Watlington and this building
was also devoured by the flames. He
succeeded, however, in saving his en-
tire stock of goods, valued at about
$500. This building was also owned
by Bailey.

The tendency of population and
