30 Artist Heaton Wants to BE DE-
vOrced From Her.
QUEER CASE FOR A JURY.
Plaintiff Alleges That II HIS VIE
Had Done Her Duty He WOuid
Have Been Greatly Aided
In His Profession.

Guthrie, o. T., Jan. PA suit FOR al
vorce that will arouse much interest IN
| New York Philadelphia and Washlng-
ton. and, because of the uncommon
grounds of the action, be watched close
Nv by the world of artists everywhere
has been filed in the Oklahoma supreme
| court.
| Augustus G. Heaton of New York, the
we'll known painter, is the plaintiff, ana
| Adelaide G. Heaton, daughter OF "A.
| Griswold, who was a prominent lawyer
in New York until his death in 1890, IS
the defendant.
The unusual ground set forth by Mr.
Heaton in his petition for divorce IS
that his wife failed to assist him IN his
profession by refusing to go into So
ciety.
The Importance of introductions ana
the value Of social qualities in securing
commissions for portraits is known.
clever, tactful wife has been known to
help many a painter forward AT the
same time, 1t is question as to Wheth-
err a court would recognize this as
wife's duty. The novel point will make
the trial one of great interest.
Mrs. Heaton denies the allegations OF
gross neglect of duty. She makes the
counter charge that her husband aban-
doned her.
Reputed Millionaire.
Mr.. Heaton is the son of the presi- |
dent of the Philadelphia Trust company
and is reputed to be millionaire. The
Heatons have a high social position in
Philadelphia.
He studied under the celebrated Ca
banel in PARIS. He was chief instructor
Of II . Philadelphia Academy of Design
in 1865 and later president Of the Phiia-
delphia Sketch club. Several of his pic
lures have been bought by congress.
He has painted many notable persons
In New York. Philadelphia, Washington
and the south. He is a member of the
and Cosmos clubs OF
of the Philadelphia Acad-
envy of Fine Arts, the National Geo
graphical society and historical socie-
les Of Pennsylvania and Virginia.
Returning from Europe in 1884, Mr.
Ieaton built fine house in Washing
on. There, he alleges, his wife refused
o fiji her social obligations.
The original misunderstanding be-
ween Mr.. and Mrs. Heaton arose from
n aversion which he conceived for his
yife's father
Mr.. and Mrs. Heaton We're married =
years ago. They have three sons, all
rown.
This is the second effort of Mr.. Hea-
IN to obtain a divorce. The first was
lade in Perry, o. T., and his petition
as denied.

Threatened to Shoot.

Mrs. Nancy Stevens was brought to Mont
pelier from Middlesex and lodged in Jail
Saturday evening on strange charge.
Saturday afternoon Martin Pembroke,
road commissioner OF the town of Middle
sex started in with a gang OF men and the
road machine to widen the highway in front
OF Mrs. Stevens house. She came out, and
with violent language ordered them away,
Mr.. Pembroke and his men paid no atten-
tion to her, but kept on with their work,
Mrs. Stevens went into the house and a
moment later appeared with two loaded
revolvers and threatened to shoot the first
man who moved another shovelful OF dirt in
front of her premises.
The men fled and Constable j. f. Hast
ings was summoned A warrant for the
arrest OF Mrs. Stevens was procured, and
the officer placed the woman under arrest.
She was given brief hearing in the hotel
at Middlesex before Justice Myron Miles,
and her bail was fixed at $4,000. This she
was unable to raise. Silas Mead of More
town, her brother, offered to guarantee her
appearance Monday morning, but as he
could not furnish the required bail, his offer
was not accepted, and Mrs. Stevens was
remanded to Jail at Montpelier
Constable Hastings and his assistant 80
cured carriage and brought the woman to
the county Jail. She gave the officers lots
OF trouble on the road and IL required the
combined efforts of both 10 keep her in the
carriage. When they reached the Jail Mrs.
Stevens sat down in the road and fatty re-
fused to 20 inside. A crowd quickly gath.
cred and il took the combined efforts Of
four men to get her behind the bars. Mrs.
Stevens weighs over 200 pounds, and she
fought her "bearers" like tigress.
She expresses no remorse for what she
had done, and appeared perfectly content
ed to remain in jailsover Sunday. She will
be taken TO Middlssex Wednesday where
her case will be given hearing

The ladies who have been canvassing the
city for funds to keep the Hubbard Kellogg
library open report a widespread interest in
the project and generous contributions.
Twice the sum desired could easily be
raised and expressions of satisfaction and
pleasure at the public spirit shown are
heard on every side. Teachers and stu
dents at the Seminary and High school re-
joice, for they have seriously felt the loss
OF the books. Let us hope that this fine
library will never again be closed. The
ladies are aware that many friends of the
library and some of its best patrons are to
be found in the granite shops, but as the
canvassing had to be done in working
hours they have hesitated to interrupt busy
men. Contributions for the re-opening OF
the library may be left with A. d. Farwell

Superior Telegram: The Wash
burn Times is making a very aggres-
sive and able fight against a PROPOSE
ton to further bond the county in
aid of railroad from Washburn
westward. The Times has done
we'll to earnestly attack this project,
and if it saves the county from the
burden of large railroad bonded in
debtedness it will have earned a
right of way in journalism of Bay
field county for long time to come.
The day of granting local aid to rail
roads is pretty nearly past. Even
with some assurances that an equiv
alent would be rendered for the
bonds, the county would not be JUST
fed in assuming the liability. Much
better for the county to bond itself
for a moderate sum to build roads
and improve the means of communi-
cation in the county.
We didn't exactly save the county,
friend Telegram, but the county is
saved; and our conscience rests easy,
because we did our part.

county. The company failed to COM
ply with the specification that the
road should be built by twelve mid
night of Nov. 30. The road was not
completed until early next morning
and we claim forfeiture. There has
been a lot of trouble with the com
pany and it has already got more
from the county that it is entitled to
and we do not propose that it should
get any more. The bonds have been
kept in trust by the Milwaukee
Trust company, and | understand
that the company proposes to fight

$50, 900 is worth fighting for, and [

1t IS purely question of fact and
we have the facts on our side. They
made a great effort at the finish to
have the road completed in time.
The workmen struck on .Thanksgiv-

before proceeding; an old chap who
is interested in the company closed

WILL LIKELY BE A LEGAL FIGHT.
Ahead of Them

Mayor McBeath and Attorney
Mcleod have returned from Mllwau-
kee, where they made q formal de-
msnd in writing, upon the Milwau-
kee Trust Company for the surrender
of the county aid bonds. The COM
pany replied to the gentlemen that
they did not know why they should
refuse to turn over the bonds, but as
Mr.. Henry E. Hermann for the
company, had also made a demand,
the Trust company felt that they
should, until the matter was fully
settled, continue their trusteeship.
This was about what Messrs. Nc
Beath and Mcleod expected, and the
whole bond matter is progressing
just about as was anticipated by
those looking out for the county's
interests.
The members of the county board
have not rested since their action
last week in demanding the bonds,
but have been busily engaged in Sc
curing evidence that the road was
not, and is not now completed. They
are taking, in many ways, percau-
tons to protect the county, and
while the methods are not calculated
to be made generally public, yet THE
ZINES can answer TO the taxpayers
that the members of the board are
doing all that is necessary to defeat
the Sabinites from ever securing the
bonds.
In connection with the statement
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1899-12-13

Vi WI. OOWle, who claimed that his
arrest at the instigation of Senator
oaoln, was for the purpose of pre-
venting his reaching Milwaukee last
thursday, an interesting piece Of
news comes to the surface, which
seems to Indicate that there may be
a deep plot back Of the criminal pro-
ceedlngs, and that Cowie has been
telling good deal of hard truth. It
appears that the venerable DIR. Rice,
fatEer-in-law of Cowie, who has a
mortgage on the road, was forced by
oaoln and Hermann to sign his
mortgage over to them, and it is
stated, upon what appears to be
good authority, that he was threat
ened that unless he signed over his
mortgage he would be placed in an
insane asylum. The old gentleman
is seventy nine years of age, and it
keeps his son-in-law, Mr.. Cowie,
busy keeping him out of trouble.
Then, it may be that to prevent this
assignment going into effect, Cowie
was arrested and detained in Wash
burn.
When Charles Quarrels, of Milwau-
kee, brother Of Senator Quarrels,
and attorney of DR.. Rice, learned of
this assignment of the mortgage by
the old Doctor, he was indignant,
and it is said made things dance
among the affairs of Sabin and Her
mann. He demanded that DR..
Rice mortgage be re-instated, and
the assignment to the Hermann and
Sabin interests cancelled, or he
would know the reason. The inter-
ests of DR.. Rice were returned to
him; and the reader can draw his
own conclusions.
DR.. Rice in a communication, ap-
pearing in the Evening Wisconsin,
says, that SabiL had nothing to lose
in the Bayfield, and Western rail
road, mot seen so much as a two
cent postage stamp"
The Milwaukee Journal publishes
an article on the situation. In
speaking OF the $50, 900 of bonds, the
interest they will earn at five per
cent, which would bring the ulti-
mate value of the bonds up to the
$50, 900, is taken into account. The
Journal says: A-a
"Assemblyman A. w. Mcleod and
Mayor McBeath of Washburn, haye
come to town on a mission in the in
terests of the county of Bayfield, and
they are likely to have to stand trial
in order to determine whether or not
their mission is to be success. In
this particular case, the statesmen
from the north are endeavoring to
force the cancellation of bonds issued
by the county of Bayfield, for the
construction of the Washburn, Bay
field and Western road, and in this
connection there is the eXtraordin-
airy circumstance of the forfeiture of
$50, 900 bonds because the contract
ors failed oy about two hours, to
have the road completed within the
time specified. Mr.. Mcleod, who
appears as attorney for the county,
said; We came down to knock out
those bonds, which as matter OF
right should not be paid by the
