a better day yesterday than ne has had
for a long time. Six suits were COM
menced and Democrats and Republi-
cans viii share in their profits and ad-
vantages alike. There are three Dem
Ocradc and three Republican lawyers
in the cases,
The first case was that OF Olive Daley
against Nathaniel Daley for a divorce.
They were married at Wellington on
March 26. 1892 The plaintiff charges
the defendant with abandonment and
no children and wants a complete sep
aration without division OF property
or anything OF that kind. Her sole aim
is 70 have the yoke OF matrimony re-
yoked.
Annie Edmisson asks for a divorce
from her husband. r. c. EdmissOn, a
well known cattleman of Commanche
county. She alleges that her husband
abandoned her in January and has not
been home since nor has he contributed
10 her support. On the contrary, &C
cordinS tot her allegations, she has 10
make her own living by keeping board
ers- Notwithstanding the fact that he
has ranch with 500 head of cattle and
loo head OF horses in Commanche coun-
~, large stock farm IN Missouri and
some 600 acres OF land besides. She asks
the court To give her temporary alimony
OF $50 week and $500 for legal services
in preparing her case.
w. s. Corbett started a suit against
the board Of trade for $500. money loan
ed in 1880 and in 1893. He loaned the
money al one time whit A. Hess amount
ing, combined. to 5000. and at another
time he and Mn MatthewsOn Endorsed
note Of about 81 600. In both cases
the sureties had 10 pay the notes. Mr.
Corbett bought Mr.. Matthewson' 5
claim and sues for it with his own. he
alleges that the board of trade is in
solvent, and il probably is for nobody
has heard OF It for long time. 1t has
not a permanent organiza ton any more
and most OF its officers do not live in the
city
Albert Hess also sues the board OF
trade for the part Of the money he lost in
the security.
The fifth suit was brought by the
Wichita Wholesale Grocer company
against J. NJ. Allen as the administra-
tor Of the last VIII and testament OF
Henry NJ. Jones, deceased. Mr.. Jones,
IL seems. had an insurance policy in
the New York life for $1,000. About 1890
ne turned the policy over 70 J. NJ Allen
10 secure some debts that Mr.. Allen
went his security for. In 1895 Mr.. Jones
died and Mr.. Allen collected the insur-
ance and satisfied his own claims &C
cording TO agreement. Mr.. Jones ow-
ed the Wichita Wholesale Grocer com
pany for goods the amount of s.. 100 and
also owed 1910 TO other creditors for
goods offered for sale in his grocery
store. The Wichita Wholesale Grocer
company sues for themselves and al the
other mercantile creditors by agree
ment. II appears that Mr. Allen wants
TO pay the money pro ratio among all
the creditors and not % the mercantile
creditors alone. 1t is claimed BY the
mercantile creditors that there was an
understanding with Mr.. Jones that his
life insurance over and above what Mr..
Allen claimed, was intended TO secure
their claims.
