THE BARRIERS WIFE GRANTED A
DIVORCE BY JUDGE
ELLSWORTH.

MRS. LULU LARo's REFORM DRESS
PRODUCES TROUBLE THAT ENDS
IN SEPARATION.
WILL NOW TOUR THE WORLD
GARLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CA11.1

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,
9O8 Broadway, Oct. %. I
The jealousy aroused in a husband by
his wife wearing boomers and taking
frequent evening rides resulted to-day in
Mrs. Laro being awarded decree of d.
Vorce. This is the first case in this county
IN which the reform bicycle dress has Judi
clally separated husband and wife.
The troubles of the Laros commenced
several months ago, when Mrs. Laro pub
licly horsewhipped her husband on Broad
way. Laro is barber, and his wife found
him in company with handsome blonde
and proceeded at once to administer sum-
mary punishment. A few days after the
barber brought suit for divorce, and al
legged all manner of improprieties on the
part of his wife. Prominent among them
was the fact that she would be a new
woman, and preferred to tour the county
clothed in boomers and riding mascu-
line wheel, while he was left at home to
wash the dishes and tend the baby.
By way of defense, Mrs. Laro, through
her attorneys, Waste & Stetson, filed an
interesting answer and cross-complaint
To reduce her statements to a few words,
she declared her huoby was a siiurian and
part, no matter of how innocent a nature.
She ably defended her boomers, and de-
clared that her refusal to part with them
was the chief cause of dissension III the
family. The case was bitterly contested
on account of a little child, both parents
being anxious to obtain possession of her.
On both sides many charges were made,
and it evidently appeared to Judge Els
worth that the weight of improprieties was
in favor of Mrs. Laro for in his Judgment,
rendered to-day he said it appeared to the
court that Mrs. Laro had sustained her al
legations, and issued decree accordingly.
The custody and control of the child, Juan
tia, a pretty little faxen-haired girl 2
years old, was awarded to the mother, and
the plaintiff is permitted to visit her at all
reasonable times. Mrs. Laro will hence
forth be known to the world as Miss Lulu
f. Redmon, the court having granted her
that privilege and made suitable provision
for alimony.
Miss Lulu Redmon stated to-day that
she intends to make an extended tour in
her bloomer costume through Arizona
and New Mexico and may possibly take
in Europe. She will be accompanied by
of San Jose, Mr.. and Mrs. Freeman of San
Francisco and Miss Lily Darcy of Oakland.
A stay of five weeks Will be made at Chi
cago en- route, where Mrs. Laro has
relatives. 1t was the intention OF Mrs.
Laro and party TO start last Monday, but
the delay of the decree postponed matters
for some days. 7 he route of the party
will be southwark and thence eastward
through Arizona and New Mexico in order
to avoid the cold weather that would be
met with on the northern route.

passed on by the board several changes
have been made by the Mayor before at

City Attorney Peirsol, who is also a

day that the action was clearly Illegal on
the part of the Mayor, and would have to
be stopped. The changes are made IN the

the City Attorney thinks that the latter
could be prosecuted for altering public

that she had some business to transact

stricken with what was at first supposed to
have been cramps. She soon remem bered,
however. that she had taken dinner with
8 friend at Lorin, Maud Brand, who keeps
a chicken ranch, and that during the
meal she had eaten dish of mush.
The theory was advanced this afternoon
that the mush of which she had eaten had
been cooked in vessel which was once
used in the preparation OF phosphorus for
rat poison.

his arrival the woman had expired.

TICKLE SISTER JESSIE.
She Fell in Love With a Salvation
Army Lieutenant.


Army Lieutenant.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL
903 Broadway, Oct. %.
The happiest lassie in the Salvation Army
two years ago now figures in a divorce case
OF which one of General Booths ex-lieu-
tenants is the plaintiff The parties to the
complaint are Henry Thimsen and Jessie
Thlmsen, known, while she wore the hal
lelulah bonnet, as Sister Jessie Mont
gomery.
-Four years ago Jessie was girl 10
years OF age and showed a greater desire
to choose the broad path than the narrow
one. Members of the army bearing of this
undertook to guide Jessie in the pathway
OF safety: Their efforts were successful,
and IN due time Jessie donned the blue
gown and poke bonnet. Her pretty face
and sweet voice succeeded in winning for
her host of friends, and before she was
sixteen she was deeply in love with Lieu
tenant Henry Thimsen.
Thimsen is a German who takes yerv
serious view af life. His nature is the very
reverse OF the wife from whom he now
seeks a divorce. When the young couple
were first engaged Thimsen was an ener-
getlc worker in the army, but since that
time he has fallen from grace and now
works in a bakery. The young couple
were i'll no hurry to get married, but Jessie's
father and stepmother were anxious to ex-
pedite matters, as they wished TO move out
of the State. Thimsen was not prepared
to furnish the nest. SO Jessie's father cor
daily subscribed $50, in his desire to see
his daughter settled in life.
After three months of married life Cupid
flew out of the Thimsen household. One
evening Mrs. Thimsen disappeared from
her home, and Thimsen, taking her actions
much to heart, searched for her on both
sides of the bay. To his great surprise he
found her taking minor part at the
Grove-street Theater. He entreated with
her to return home, but she refused to
listen to him. She told him of her deter
mination to become an actress and to pro-
vide for herself.
Some months ago Thimsen brought suit
for divorce, but has been unable to serve
the papers on his wife. Last week Mrs.
Thimsen made short visit to Oakland
from Sacramento, where she is now living.
Her presence soon became known to her
husband, who procured constable and
served her with the papers. 1t is very
likely that Mrs. Thimsen will make no de-
tense.
