COUNTY SEAT WAR AGAIN
SEYMOUR PEOPLE WAITED HERE
ANXIoUSLY YESTERDAY.
jackson County Auditor Failed to No.
tify Governor OF Commissioners
Action Ordering an Election.

The Jackson county-seat war threatens to
break out with renewed vigor. 1t has been
going on through the courts ever since tho
Legislature of 1895 passed law by which
Seymour could force a special election to
determine whether or not the county seat
should be moved from Brownstown. The
commissioners and most of the county ottl-
GERS are partisans of Brownstown, and the
Seymour people have had to fight every
step OF the way.
The commissioners. acting under the man
date of the Supreme Court, finally ordered
a special election and the auditor is required
to notify the Governor of this action within
three days, by the terms of the law. Yes
terday the mayor and three prominent citi-
zens Of Seymour came up to see if every
thing was all right at this end of the line.
This was the last day for notification, but
none had been sent, and the Seymour party
kept the wires hot trying to stir the auditor
of Jackson county UP to the sense OF his
duty. They waited all day, but the notice
did not arrive.

DIVORCE COMPLAINTS.



ent from the Usual Ones.
Jacob W. Wayt in a complaint for di-
vorce filed yesterday against Sylvia NJ.
Wayt, charges that the defendant is now
in the county workhouse paying the pen
atty for drunkenness and vicious conduct.
The plaintiff says the defendant has fallen
far short of what wife should be. He
says she has since their marriage been
coarse and vulgar in her manner, and her
conduct has been very improper Accord
ing to the complaint she has filled her
house with questionable characters, has
driven buggy about the streets with low
men, and has patronized barrel houses.
She also spent much of her time at road
houses, frequently such places as the
Eagles Nest" and place called "Buzzard
Roost." The plaintiff says it is impossible
to live with her longer.
Silas Holhngsworth sues Mary Hollings-
worth for divorce and the custody of sew
eral minor children. The Hollingsworths
were married in 1871 The defendant is
charged with abusive conduct toward the
plaintiff and with cruelty toward her chill
dren. 1t is claimed she has frequently pun
ished them with dangerous instruments and
in an excessive manner. Further, it is
charged that Mrs. Hollingsworth, in June,
1897, formed an attachment for youth
about twenty-one years of age, and became
SO infatuated with him that she utterly dis
regarded her duties and obligations as a
wife. II is charged that on Aug. q last
Mrs Holingsworth abandoned her husband
and children.
Jennie Stevenson asks a decree of di-
vorce from Charles Stevenson who is an
employee of the Big -Four Railroad Steven
son is charged with having deserted his
wife in October, 1893. Alimony in the sum
Of $500 is asked.
Stephen w. Perigo complains of Sarah
Perigo, and tells the court in an action for
divorce that his wife has been sour. cross
and ill-natured," and has accused him of all
sorts of immortality, of which he is inno-
cent. He says she accused his relatives
and lady friends of being immoral people.
She would quarrel with plaintiff at night,
making it impossible, for him to, sleep;
Some time ago, it is claimed, she declared
she did not love the plaintiff, and they
separated: The complaint, states there is
no possible hope of reconciliation.
Mary NJ. Stoute brings suit for divorce
from Charles M. Stoute, who is charged
with failure to support his wife and child.
The plaintiff AYERS she has been compelled
to make her own living. Her occupation is
that of a StenOgrapher

ter, Instantly Killed.

Yesterday afternoon Ellsworth McKibber,
a single man, twenty-eight years old, was
killed while at work at Frederick w.
Brandt's cooper shop, on South California
street. McKibben was engaged loading a
wagon with lumber from high pile. The
pile toppled over and fell upon him. His
head was frightfully mashed, and his neck
was broken. A physician was summoned
hastily but he found that McKibben had
died almost instantly. The body was taken
to Tutewiler's morgue to await the claim
of relatives.
McKibben was peculiar man. He was
steady and sober, and made living wages
at his work but he was of a retiring dis
position, and made few friends. For a long
time he lived alone in a houseboat which
he kept moored near the foot of Kentucky
avenue There was no other occupant of
the boat but himself unless it were a stray
dog or cat which he took in to feed; He
rarely had q visitor. More recently he

An Epidemic of wife Whipping.

Isaiah Hill, colored, living at 421 East
Wabash street, was arrested yesterday for
whipping his wife. He found her with an
other man on East Court street and pro-
ceeded TO give her a beating. She was COW
cred with blood when she finally got away
from him. The police were notified and
Patrolmen Wallace and Holtz went there
on their bicycles and captured the bel
ligerent husband. There seems to be an
epidemic of wife beating during the last
few weeks. There is rarely a day that one
or more arrests are not made.
