In Bondage.

Her eyes were wild, her hair was in dis
order, her face was flushed, her hands
were cliDched. She was a deeply injured
and desperate woman.
ooh, cruel one,' she cried in anguished
tones, Il have borne with you too longl
You have injured the very foundations Of
my being! Day by day you have tortured
me, and yet could not bear to give you
up. When first we met, how your ease
and polish attracted mel When you be-
came my own, how my friends envied mel
But your understanding is too small for
my large soul. You are opposed to my
advancing myself. You have injured my
standing in society. If we had never met,
I might have walked in peace. So now be-

1t Is All in the Hands of the Sheriff on
Executions.
Yesterday afternoon D. c. Dusen berry,
a horseman living in Middleton, n. Y,
filed suit in the district court by Arm
strong & Austin, his attorneys, asking
that the affirm of E. Bennett & Sons be
placed in the hands of Il receiver He
says the Benefits property is SO clouded
with judgments, mortgages and trans
fers it is hard to tell who is entitled to
possession.
After the filing of this case Deputy
Sheriff Dan Jones and e. A Austin went
to the handsome BeDnett residence at
Eighth and Buchanan streets and served
executions on all the household goods
and personal effects, except those ex-
empt from attachment under the $500
clause. All of the horses, stock,
carriages. harness, implements and feed
in both the Bennett stables on Eighth
street and the big farm west of town
were also taken under executions.
Among the property attached were
these: % stations in the Eighth street
barn, SO other horses, 2 Jersey cows, aud
) carriages. The property was seized by
the sheriff because of a lapse in the
mortgage, owing to failure to file an aft
davit of renewal. Besides taking ad-
vantage of this lapse, service was had
on three judgments rendered nearly a.
year ago, as follows:
D. c. Dusenberry, $1,000; John E. Cal
vert, STA; and John Ii. Dandy, $4O2
The sheriff left men in charge of both
the farm and the city property.

knocking him senseless. When he
recovered consciousness he was ly-
