Lewis Gibbons OF this place, formerly OF
Royalton, places on the affections OF his
wife, Luna Gibbons, in body writ issued
against Will RathburD Of Braintree, which
was served yesterday by Luke Parish, dep.
uty sheriff. The writ is returnable to
county conrt and, in default OF bail, Rath-
burn was taken to jail al Chelsea. Glib
bons and his wife have been married elev-
en- years and have i've children. Mrs.Gib-
bons is a daughter Of Dillingham; Waldo,
who works for j. V. Newton. A few
weeks ago she left her family and went to
live at the home Of RathOurn's father in
Braintree, where Rathburn also resided.
This was rather more than Gibbons could
stand and he takes this method TO break
up the ltdison, without expecting to real.
ize much in cold cash, for Rathburn has
no property. n. L. Boyden is counsel for
Gibbons.
Frank p. Bailey, the soRpman, has cow
whose condition and treatment have been
such as to move the pity and indignation
of those who have been knowing to them.
the animal is very old and through dis
ease is almost unable To walk and is so
poor as to be almost transparent. Bailey
has been allowing her to go at Will, with
out troubling bimself to look after her
even in the most Indictment weather. Her
keeping cost nothing and Bailey intended
to make her into soap when he got ready,
though neighbors say there is not fat
enough on her to grease a pair OF boots.
The COW strayed onto John Manneys
land and was taken Tuesday TO VIM. Wood
to be empounded. The Humane society
notified Bailey Yesterday that unless he
would agree TO care for the animal better
it would he shot at once TO put il out OF
misery BE seems to harbor the idea that
it Is nobody's business but his own how
he treats his cattle, but be will lesrn his
mistake later il he persists,
Martin Washbufn arrived last week
from Kodiak, Alaska. Naturally the first
question propounded to him is Chow
about the Klohdike 2n Mr.. Washburn is
a little nearer to it than we, but not much
1t is 800 miles from Kodiak TO the gold
fields by air line and nearly 5000 miles by
the common route, so that he has not TAX
en- many pleasure trips over. OF course
be has had chance to see something of
the excitement. He says a great deal OF
gold has been taken out and an immense
amount will be secured the coming year,
when rush of $1,000 fortune seekers is
anticipated. There are several thousand
trying to struggle through now,and many
of tnem viii lose their lives. MIR. Wasn-
burn does not think the Klondike stories
are exaggerated, but believes it to be tho
greatest gold find the world has ever seen.
He thinks there Is announcement for
young men OF rugged health and plenty OF
perseverance to go there, but would not
advise any doing fairly well to drop their
jobs and chance it,
