MR.. TRON IS AGGRIEVED
PEOPLE WHO OBJECT TO HIS BEER
GARDEN SUED FOR LIBEL.
They Have Damaged His Reputation
Among His PiOus Associates
Matters in the Courts.

William Iron, proprietor of Fair Bank -
the summer resort at Illinois street and
Fall creek, yesterday began an action for
libel against all of the persons named as
plaintiffs in the suits for injunction brought
against him a few days ago. The suits for
libel are brought by Attorneys Healing and
Hugg, against Samuel l.. Dunning, Jessie
M Conklin, Harry Cribbs, Zimri c. Lewis
Elizabeth j. Marshall and Charles +. Jones'
In each case the plaintiff AYERS that he has
been libeled and demands damages in the
sum of $1,000 by injury to his reputation, and
the same amount on account of alleged dam
age to his business. The plaintiff shows
the court that he resides with his family
at Fair Bank, which resort is patronized
by some of the best citizens of Indianapolis
He declares that since the opening of Fair
Bank" he has permitted no persons of inn
moral character to visit the place. which
is conducted under the personal supervision
of the plaintiff and is at all times guarded
by watchmen and police, who are employed
to see that no person of improper character
is admitted. Plaintiff, referring to the COM
plant of the defendants flied on May "a, de-
clares that the words, "the other rooms in
the same building being arranged for the
accommodation of men and women who de-
SAA0 " OCCupy LneIn IOr Ine purpose CT
drinking intoxicating liquors and indulging
in lascivious conduct are false and mali
.cious. The plaintiff complains of another
charge in the complaint of the defendants
in reference to a downtown saloon it was
averred he kept prior to the establishment
of Fair Bank" The particularly objec-
tionable paragraph referred to read: THAT
SAID place had been a notorious resort for
men and women of bad and lasciviouS char
acter, for gamblers and gambling, for pros
t1tutes and their male associates
His place of business had become disreputa-
BILE and odious in the community, and Its
character was notoriously bad for NOR
atty
Plaintiff declares that he has never at any
time owned or controlled such a place as de-
scr.bed He says he has conducted his bus
mess in proper and orderly manner; that
the rooms in the building at Fair Bank"
referred to in the alleged libel are used
dining rooms and are visited by respectable
citizens of indianapolis and their friends
and used for no other purpose. Plaintiff as
serts that the defendants have been actuat-
ed by selfish motives, and their charges are
made solely and purely from malice and are
false in every particular. He charges that
the action of the plaintiff may tend to bring
his business into disrepute to the end that
his patrons will no longer visit his place,
and thereby ruin his business,

any regiment understand that five regi-
ments of colored imnuneS are being organ
lzed Tor active service. Please see the sec
retary OF war, or colonels commanding
these regiments, and secure authority to or
ganiZe battalion of four companies from
this state: We bave colored men who have
lived in the South, and will fill all the re-
quirements, and the two companies men
toned have seen active service in strikes
and riots, and are thoroughly drilled and
experienced They can be oftieered by in
telligent, educated colored men, who are
capable of preparing these men for most
efficient service
Senator Fairbanks, to whom the message
was addressed, replied that he had laid the
request before the War Department. AS
published yesterday the War Department
has issued an order precluding the idea Of
whole regiments of colored men officered
by colored officers. 1t has turned out just
as the Governor represented to the colored
m1lltlamen when he urged that they con-
sent to the formation of a colored battalion
under a colored major. At that time the
Governor said to them that if they were at
tached to a white regiment as soon as they
reached the field of service they would be
consigned to a colored regiment under COM
mand of white officers. Many colored men
are expressing regret that they did not
listen to the Governor some time ago. They
say that If they had done so they could now
be in the service. No reply has yet been re-
ceiVed from the War Department to the
Governors offer of a colored battalion. If
it is accepted it is the understanding that
many of the men who formerly belonged
to the two Indiana National Guard compar1-
les will re-enlist In addition colored men
of various parts of the State would be elli-
gible to service in the four companies that
are to be formed. These companies will be
made up from all parts of the State, ire
spective of geographical location as they
are intended for a special service.

MIR. AND MRS. CoRDEs.
Their Troubles Are Aired i'm the JUS
lice Court This Time.

Augusta and Herman Cordes, who have
been in the courts time and again for sew
eral years as parties to divorce suits, had
another 'go" yesterday. This time it was
in Magistrate Lockman's court, and they
were both defendants in suit brought by
Henry Mazur TO collect bills contracted by
Mrs. Cordes. The pair have been married
about twenty-five years, and have thirteen
children. Eight different times Mrs. Cordes
brought suit for divorce and seven times she
had the case dismissed. The eighth time
came last summer, and the decree was
granted. Last September, however they
went to Chicago and were married again
and returned here to live. There were re-
peated separations, the last of which oc-
Cured April Z. Since then they have lived
apart. Mazur had bill of $40 against
them, which the statement showed had been
contracted by Mrs. Cordes. 1t was shown
that $l2.42 of the bill was made before April
Z, or while Mr.. and Mrs. Cordes were living
together. The remainder was made after
April Z.
Magistrate Lockman rendered judgment
against both the defendants separately and
divided the costs. This was done in accord
ance with decision of the Supreme Court
which was to the effect that where wife
has means of her own her husband is not
responsible for her debts after she has left
him.

THE DEACON SPEAKS.
After Forty Years of Silence He at
Last ASSERTS Himself.
New York Truth


New York Truth.
For forty years Deacon Dun had been a
married man, and his burden had not been
light, nor had his yoke been easy.
Some married men have that kind or luck
1t is not gallant to say why
The deacons hair was gray and his race
was a tangle of wrinkles
Where worry walks it leaves its footprints
there.
But the deacon was patient.
And piouS.
Never had he in all those slow revolving
years been heard to say word save in
kindness to the Titian-haired partner of his
bosom.
What she had said to him passeth compre-
hension.
But the worm will turn
AZ the adage hath it, 1t is long worm
that has no turning
One day the deacOn's limit was reached.
The heel of the Titian-haired partner Of
his bosom had struck the worm in ten
der spot at last.
The deacon rose nobly to the occasion.
Jane Ann Dunn, he thundered at her,
without the slightest effort at self-control,
forty years without word back. The
Lord knows how many times have wanted
to swear and how many more times 1t had
ought to a been done fer your own good
and my peace of mind. But l have never
said a word. The end of my patience has
come and l will say now, Jane Ann, what
had ought to "a been said at the start, and
goldernation.' That's all I've got to say,
Jane Ann, and / don't want TO have to say
it agin. Do you hear?"
And, strange as 1t may seem to those
versed in such matters the deacon never
had occasion to repeat his rebuke.

"THREE'S A CROWD"

with the Family Cat.

SnelInOuSe ODJecIeu Sleeping
with the Family Cat.
1t seems to have been the house cat that
came between William and Adele She'll
house, husband and wife. They keep gro
Gerry at the corner of Alabama and Ohio
streets and Shellhouse has sued his wife for
divorce on the ground of cruel treatment
In turn Mrs. Shellhouse has sued her father
in-law Conrad Shellhouse, a wealthy mer-
chant, for $4,000 damages, alleging that he
has alienated her husbands affections. Mrs
Shellhouse is young and good looking, and
has scarcely been married a year. The di-
vorce suit went to trial in Room 2, Superior
Court, yesterday, but the evidence was not
finished. Shelhouse while on the witness
stand related to the court how he had been
vexed and annoyed by his wife's conduct
One of her particularly exasperating tricks,
he claimed, was her display of affection for
the family cat. He said she would insist on
taking Tabby to bed with her, and he was
compelled to either sleep with the cat or
seek another couch. Shellhouse related an
instance when he was much perturbed be-
cause of an alleged attempt of his wife to
commit suicide. He said he came home one
night and found his wife in bed apparently
unconscious. On table at the bedside was
a note she had left for him bidding him
goodbye and stating she had taken NOR
phine. He aroused the woman, gave her
glass of milk and she recovered. Next day
she was in her usual health. Shellhouse
intimated to the court that he believed his
wife was playing it on him" on this occa-
sion.
Mrs. Shellhouse also charges her husband
scratched her face until it bled and on an
other occasion bumped her head against the
wall until the blood flowed from her nose
Shellhouse asserts that his wife drinks beer
and the woman declares that her husband
drank with her.
