FIVE THOUSAND FROM EACH.
Herman Timme Sues Five Men for
Handful Libel.

To Judge by the five petitions which were
filed by him with the clerk Of the district
court yesterday, Herman Timme intends to
make a desperate attempt to obtain satisfac-
ton for the defeat which he sustained at
the polls on last election day. He wants In
cold cash $25, 900 from five parties.
Timme ran for justice of the peace of Ben
nington on an independent ticket, and he
was defeated by his opponent on the republic
can ticket by two votes. For some time be-
fore election there was circulated in the pre-
cinct in which Bennington Is situated a
handful, to which Timme attributes his de-
feat more than anything else. Besides that,
however, Timme says that the handful
caused damage to his character to the amount
of the difference between the salary Of a JUS
tice shop and $25, 900. The handful, he has
reason to believe. was distributed by Henry
Grau, the successful candidate for the Office;
Otto Hansen, II. b. Waldron, Joseph Boyer
and John II. Klinker, and he has therefore
sued them for 81, 900 apiece.
The handful charged Tlmme with the col
lection OF various amounts while a justice Of
the pace which he failed to turn over. II
also charges that during his eighteen-year
term of office his records show that he had
only five cases and that he failed to turn over
the record as provided by law, 1t wound up
by urging voters not to vote for Timme.

THEIR HUSBANDS ARE CRUEL.
Allegations that Are Made in Two
Suits for Divorce.

SuhtS - pINoTce.
ION August 3, 1898, he put a rope around
her neck and threatened to hang her" This
bit of cruelty is the principal of the many
c~ruelties which Stella Honan alleges that she
has sustained at the hands Of her husband,
Pat j. Honan, and on which she bases a suit
of divorce. She was married to him on No
vembsr Is, 1890, and shortly after he is al
legged to have begun his abuse. Many in
stances are cited, but the main one is the
hanging incident. The trouble between the
two eliminated on August 6 of this year,
when her husband drove the woman out of
the house, and she has not returned since.
Mrs. Honan also makes allegations of drunk
enness and non-support.
Cruslty is the main ground on which an
other divorce suit was filed yesterday, in
which Mary G.. Easley appears as plaintiff
and William D. Easley as defendant. They
were married at Springfield, ILL.,, August %,
1872. removed to Omaha eighteen years aso
and live at present at 3l05 Larimore avenue.
The wife claims that some years ago her
husband commenced to drink, and that since
that time she has been compelled to sup
port herself and a family of five children
by washing. Drink also drove the husband
to cruelty. He abused her for a long while,
but the climax Is said TO have been reached
November 2. Mrs. EASILY says that on that
day her husband came home at 2 o'clock
and found that no dinner had been kept for
him. He ordered her to get some, but be-
fore the tea kettle had time to boil he hit
her in the neck. She rushed for the door,
but before she could get out, she says, her
husband beat her cruelty. In order to pre-
vent him from further molestlng her she also
applied for a restraining order against her
husband, and obtained 1t, There are five
