NEW SUITS FILED AND ORDERS

The granting by Judge Cherry yes
terday of an order OF restitution of
premises in the case of John r. Park,
by s. w. Stewart executor, Us. Robert
Norris Wilkinson and Nina WHkin-
son, husband and wife, revealed a
story of woman's wrath that has
been seldom rivaIed. The writ was
placed in the hands Of the sheriff for
service. and there is little doubt that
the return will show that the Wilkin-
sons have been dispossessed Of the
premises in question.
On May Of last year DR.. Park
brought suit in the district court
against r. NJ Wilkinson and his wife
for the possession OF lot 10. block ?,
five-acre plat a. facing east on Ninth

plaintiffs title to the property by vir-

then in possession, claiming under an
unrecOrded quit claim deed from the
mOrtgagOr. Last June the supreme
court affirmed the decision of the lower
court in finding for the plaintiff in ae-
Cordance with his complaint. and the
Cupied the premises for nearly five
years, so it was said, without paying
rent.

she drew a gun on Professor ROylance
so he alleges, and forbid him to come
onto the lot for any purpose
Professor ROylance laid the matter
before the county attorney. with the
intention of having Mrs. Wilkinson ar
