The case OF Henry Marburger vs. J. R..
Kirker for alternating the affections OF his
wife was the first case of the kind ever
tried in this county, Marberger and his
wife lived happily together at Evans City,
until Kuker came to board with them.
Marbu-ger was away from home a consid-
erable part of his time, and in the course
OF time Kirker AMI Mrs. Marburger be-
came entirely too sociable for his comfort
He tried to stop it and finding that he
could not without resorting to violence,
made a settlement with his wife and left;
but afterwards concluded to have some re-
venge on Kirker, and brought suit and Sc
cured a verdict OF 1880 Kirker put his
property in his mothers name
about the time the suit was
brought, and motion for new
trial at present prevents the legality of the
transfer being inquired into.
In this case Mr.. and Mrs. Marburger's g
only child, daughter, was well up in
years and is now married, very fortunate
state of affairs, as in cases of this kind it
is usually the minor children whose lives
are blighted by the parents foolishness.
