Enoch Cleveland, first cousin of
President Cleveland, and a highly
respected and well-to-do farmer of
Maple Plain, Mimi, is the rather
venerable plaintiff in a divorce suit
which will be instituted in Henne-
pin county in a few days The COM
plant in the case was served upon
the defendant yesterday. The woman
in the case is Mr.. Cleveland'S sec
ond wife, and Mr.. Cleveland is the
womans third husband Taken al
together, the case is a very singular
one. Mr.. Cleveland is seventy-six
years of age, and is a pioneer settler
in Minnesota. His first wife died
four or five years ago, and it was in
his search for a housekeeper that Mr..
Cleveland CHANGED to meet the Wom-
an from whom he now seeks a di-
vorce. There is a feature about the
case which is of special interest to
lawyers. 1t is found by Chris A
Gallagher, attorney for the plaintiff,
that While the defendant represent
ed herself as divorced woman
when she met Mr.. Cleveland. she
was really a married woman, for
judgment in the case had not been
entered. A number of similar cases
have come within the notice of the
district judges within the past six
months, and in one of these cases
Judge Seagrave Smith recently adj
ministered a very severe rebuke to
the attorney who was responsible
for failure to have Judgment en-
tered.
Three years ago Mr.. Cleveland came

manhood, and who had moved to Min

and that the doctor recommended a
Mrs. Emily Olson as just the one for
the place. Mr.. Cleveland sought and
secured a personal interview with the
woman, and before the interview end
ed there was matrimonial agree
ment. Mrs. Olson, according to Mr..
Cleveland, made the proposition that

remembering that she was his Junior
by more than twenty years, wanted
him to sign his property over to her.
This the aged bridegroom did not care
to do, and thereafter it was a case of
domestic infelicity. According to Mr..
Cleveland his wife resorted to some
queer and unwifely acts in order to

CleVeiand's bed was cut to half it's
original size. The conditions contin-
ued to grow more and more disagree
able, and Mrs. Cleveland packed her
grip several months ago and came to
Minneapolis. She has since been living
in this city, and is now engaged as
housekeeper at 1907 Seventh street
south. 1t was at that place where
service in the divorce case was had
yesterday.
Mrs. Cleveland says that some of the
statements contained in the complaint
are untrue. 1t is alleged, among other
Things that Mrs. Cleveland, who got
married under the name of Mrs. Emily
Olson, was really Mrs. John Allworth
when she married Mr.. Cleveland. she

MIS-. Cleveland says that While she
cannot show papers for her divorce she
knows that separation from Allworth
was granted. AliWorth is now living
in F'aribault, Mimi, and is married to
his second wife. When he married
Mrs. Emily Olson he kept a saloon ana

Vesugation made, and some of the
developments which followed rather
satisfied him that he did not make a
very good bargain when he accepted
Mrs. Olson'S, or Mrs. AllWorth's, nup-
tial proposition. The woman's first
husband was an honest, Woodworking
man employed by the st. Paul Street
Railway company. He fell from his
