GAVE BARBARA AWAY
John Lamuth Thinks lie Has Good
Grounds for Divorce.
HE SAYS HIS WIFE IS BAD
Marie La Vilette Commences An
other Suit Against Her Husband.
Charging Cruelty and
Intemperance.

John Ilamuth yesterday commenced
a suit for divorce in the district court
against Barbara Lamuth. They were
married at Tower, Mimi, on oct. 10.
1855, and they have three children,
aged 5. and s years respectively. on
the first of last November, according
to the allegations of the complaint. the
defendant was cfiminally intimate
with one Peter KoZte at her home in
North Walkerville. Lamuth charges
that since that date secret acts of in
timacy have been committed at divers
times, and with the same man and at
the same home. He says the defend
ant is an unfit person to have charge
of the three children and he asks the
court to award their custody to him.
Marie A. LaVilette, who dismissed
one action for divorce against Alfred
L.aVilette on Tuesday. commenced an
other suit yesterday. charging cruelty
and intemperance. She relates that
they were married in New York on
June %, 1885. and have three children,
aged 3 and 5 and years. on oct.
"a. 1895, he elected her and the children
from the house and told them he would
have nothing more to do with them.
He used violent and abusive language
and frequently threatened his wife
with bodily harm. These allegations
of cruelty were set up in the original
complaint, and it appears that the de-
PENDANT persuaded his wife to give
him another trial on his promise to do
better, and they lived together again.
1t was only a short time, however, be-
fore he forgot his promises ard treated
his wife with as much cruelty as ever
and she was compelled to leave him
again, but as she had condoned his pre-
vious offense by living with him again
ii was necessary to dismiss her orig
inal suit and commence a new one be-
fore she could press an action for di-
vorce. In the complaint filed yester-
day she relates further that on the 18th
of the present month he endeavored &c
break into the house and threatened tC
kill her. She says she is in constant
fear of him and believes ii would b'
unsafe and dangerous for her TO longer
live with him. She also alleges tina

Much Too Fine.

Our opposite neighbours maid-servant
used 20 have a saddle horse tied to tree
outside the house in the afternoons, and
generally she found an opportunity TO get
a ride of longer or shorter duration, while
her poor mistress stayed at home and an.
swered the bell and did other mental
tasks. Our servants were not allowed TO
leave the house In the afternoons. and
have no doubt we were considered to

various ether approximations to Eastern
habits which We insisted upon.
Although the maids were kept indoors
in the afternoons they had other recrea-

MiIt Long Becomes Nervous and Fires
His Gun Promiscuously.
Milt Long, an electrician, who was in
the employ of the electric light COM
pany lip to a day or two ago, fired a
few shots at the road house Tuesday
afternoon which are surrounded by a
good deal of mystery. Long is very
clever fellow when he is sober, but
when he is drinking he is inclined to be
both sensational and crazy and he was
in that condition on the afternoon in
question. One of the stories of the af-
fair is that he became so excited over
losing his position through too much
familiarity with red liquor that he fired
three shots at Grace Durand, the land
lady of the road house, and that after
she made her escape unhurt he COM
PEELED the servant girl to hitch up the
landlady's horse and drove up town.
Grace Durand says that Long came
down to the road house in a very much
over heated condition on Tuesday after
noon and fired five shots in the air over
a passing buggy which was occupied
by a couple OF fellows who were driv-
ing up from Gregson Springs. Long
admits that he fred one shot up in the
air to try his gun. He was greatly sur
prised to hear the report that he had
shot at any one and said that there
was absolutely no grounds for such a
story
