GEO. T0IMlh FAILS TO Pr
His -Four Years Fight Against
His Wife's Suit.
TEST CASE OF MAINTENANCE
His Income From the Treasury and
From His Brush Is Ample, But He
Wants 1t for Hlmself-Weeks In
Jail Compel Him to Settle Up. But
He May Go Down Again. F.

|
Mr.. George X. Tolman, topographcr and
hydrograpaer OF the Life Saving Service, Is
again giving trouble over the payment of
the amount ordered by the court for the
maintenance OF his wife. The case is said
to be the first OF its kind tried here, and it
may be MI. Tolman's perseverance in at
tempting 10 guin Il victory over both the Op-
position attorneys and the court is sup
| ported by the fact that it is test case.
Ithas been usual for wives tosue either for
an absolute divorce or divorce from bed and
| board In this case Mrs. Toiman had not
grounds upon which She was able or cared
to succeed III either of these actions. There
fore, she had her attorneys, Messrs. Barrett
Niles, file papers asking for maintenance.
She said she was willing to live with her
husband, and only asked proper treatment
and due provision.
A VERDICT GIVEN.
Upon hearing Of the case. a verdict was
givenin her favor for $50amonth. Mr.. Toll
man has steadily and by every means sought
TO escape payment. This, 1t is said, is not
because he is not amply able to pay, but be-
cause he believes the demand upon him is
unfair.
Mo. Tolman's pay is $500 year,
and he easily adds to this, when he wishes,
from $50 TO 500 month by his work
as an artist. He and his wife separated
after two or three years OF married life.
Mrs. Tolman felt that 1t was unjust
that her husband should spend all his
amlpe income alone, and In 1892 asked
that he might be decreed to pay to her
reasonable aliInony SO long as he should
refuse or neglect to live with her and pro-
vide her a home and maintenance. Mr..
Tolman has three times carried the case
to the court OF appeals.
On May 2, 1899, he was ordered to pay
$50 a month and counsel fees pending a
decision OF the suit. On December IS,
1898, he was in arrears, and he was re-
quested to show why. He answered on
February %, 1894, saying he was unable
to pay, and that he was ready to receive
his wife aud provide for her as the law
required.
AGAIN IN ARREARS.
On February 12, 1895, he was again in
arrears aud n second time was required to
answer. This time his answer was so un-
satisfa ctory that he was sent to Jail. After
remaining several weeks, Mr.. Henry E.
Davis attempted TO argue him out of the
place on writ of habeas corpus on the
ground that he was imprisoned for debt.
In this he failed.
Mr.. Tolman then agreed to pay and was
released from jail. He grudgingly made
the required payment OF $50 month n-
I'll January 10. Since that time he has
paid nothing and on Monday was two
in arrears. On March 13 notice |
was formally given of proceedings against
him, and on Saturday Mr.. Niles got Judge |
Cox to consent to rule to show cause
why he should not be committed for re- |
.usal to pay. The order was not drawn.
however, asst was hoped Mr.. Toiman would |
pay up yesterday.

PAIR OF GREAT FIGHTERS
George Lavigne and "Kid" Mccoy
First in Their Glass.
Saginaw Lad One OF the CIeverest Men
Ever In the Ring-Mac's Long
Arms Save Him.. 4sf -..

The lightweight champion of America to-
uay Is Lavigne, and sporting men are per-
| rectly willing to recognize him as the real
| champion, who has fought his way to the
front and won by his extraordinary ability
| with the gloves. McAuliffe says he feels he
| can conquer Lavigne. Nobody else seems
to think SO. Sporting men are willing to
go much further and say that even in Nc
Auliffe's best day, he would not have had
more than an even chance to put the Sagi-
nav lad out. In his quoted opinion re-
| garding Lavigne, the ex-champion says:
HE is a clever man, but is not a Jem
Carney" He is not u Jom Carney, but he
is George Lavigne, u more wonderful man
with the gloves, under Quee Dsberry rules,
than ever Carney was Layigne has all
the cards in his own hand now, and. If be
properly plays them, he can retire in
four or five years with money enough
to make him comfortable during the bal
ance of his career. He should take les
son from the career OF McAulisfe. .
The latter made pretty near as much
money as John L. Sullivan, but today is
broken down and pretty nearly broke.
Lavigne is the wonder OF the year, and,
If he properly conducts himself, he can
Kid Mccoy is certainly great boxer.
his victory over Ryan gives him po-
sition In the top class and there is little
doubt but he will hang on to the middle
weight championship against anybody out
side of Bob Fitzsimmons.
Mccoy is built upon the same lines as
Fitzsimmons. He is hardly as tall, but
IS split up about as far and is longer in
the reach by nearly two inches than Fitz-
simmons with arms extended. yet Fitzsim-
mons is more than two inches broader
across the shoulders than Mccoy. This
would make McCoy's reach, measuring
from the armpit TO the finger tips, nearly
two inches longer than Fitzsimmons' on
both arms. He is what one might term
phenomenally put UP for fighter. he can
lab a man to earth without trying his
right. -t--- .-s, - .--.-.
A rushing fighter would not stand a
chance against Mccoy. All he has to do
against a man of that class is to push
out his left and it will blind his opponent
in short order. He Is also Furnishing
fighter when it comes to a showdown. 1t
takes him more than one punch to knock
out a man. but he is of the kind that. can
land more.
In appearance he looks more like a bank
clerk, and though he has fought many times
he does not show q mark on his face. This
is proof positive that he can brush any
thing off which means n twisted nose or
thick ear IL it were to land.
