BRUTALITY Is CHARGED
MRS. MARY NJ. POTTGIESER SUES
FOR A DIVORCE FROM THE
POLICE CAPTAIN
DATES BACK MANY YEARS
She Tells a PitiabIe story of Abuse
Lasting Through the Span
of Genera
ton.

The complaint Of Mrs. Mary NJ. Pott-
gieser in her action to secure divorce
from Capt. Philip Pottgieser, declares
him to nave been a very cruel husband.
The complaint alleges that they were
married in St. Paul Aug. IA, 1869, and
have had seventeen children as result
CT their marriage. Only two of the chill
dren are living, William Pcttgieser and
Christina Pottgieser. The PLAINTIFF is
! hfty-five years old and the defendant
fifty. In her complaint the plaintiff al
! leges that after the first two or three
years of married life the defendant be-
! gan to treat her in a cruel and inhuman
manner. He was captious, ill-natured,
/ rough, coarse and vulgar, and frequently
beat and struck her.
In 1873 the plaintiff claims, the defend
ant kicked her in the abdomen and killed
her unborn child. A premature birth
was the result and long and severe
illness.
Six or seven years ago the defendant,
in a violent manner and late at night
pulled the plaintiff out of her bed and
dragged her by the hair into another
room where he beat her and disfgured
her face to such an extent that her
friends could not recognize her, then de-
nying her medical treatment for several
days.
During the past ten or twelve years,
she says, the defendant against her pro-
testations, brought women of i'll repute
into the house and debased them in her
presence-this for the purpose of making
plaintiffs life unbearable.
For all these years the plaintiff says
she endured patiently these fortunes,
cruelties and indignities, more bitter than
DEATH in order that she might be with
her daughter to protect her purity and
virtue.
Many times during the past few years
the defendant ordered the plaintiff out
of the house never to return, and re-
fused to furnish her decent clothing and
sufficient food. The defendant frequently
solicited plaintiff to permit him to OBJ
tain a divorce in secret and make 1t ap-
pear she was al fault which she refused
to do.
In May, Of this year, he threatened to
poison her and starve her to death II
she refused to comply with his request.
The assault of July last is also re-
lated.
Mrs. Pottgieser also says that she has
no money or property to support herself
with, and that she is in sore need or
medical attendance
In the prayer for relief, the plaintiff
asks for a divorce, for the sum of $4OO,
with interest for twelve years, and for
suitable alimony, and also that the de-
PENDANT be restrained from disposing Of
his property during the tendency of this
action.
Charges against Capt. Pottgieser are
pending before the police commission
but he Is still on duty.
The case against Capt. Pottgieser, OF
the Margaret street police station, on the
charge of assaulting his wife, was con-
tinued to Nov. q. The continuance was
taken pending the suit for divorce
brought by Mrs. Pottgieser.
Pottgieser was notified yesterday by
the chief of police that he would be sus-
pended from the police service without
pay.

BRANCH FROM wENATCHEE.
Great Northern to Tap Fertile Ter
rttOry in Washington.

| r1tOry In washington.
News has been received in St Paul
from Olympia, Wash, that the st. Paul.
Minneapolis & Manitoba Railway com
pany has filed in the secretary of states
office the following resolution:
Resolved, that this company will con-
struct, maintain and operate a branch
line Of railway, beginning al a connection
with it's main line of railway, at or near
| Wenatchee, and running thence northerly
and easterly, IN the counties of Okano-
! gan and Stevens, to a connection with
the railway proposed to be built by the
| Washington Improvement and Develop
ment company, at or near the confluence
of the San Poll river with the so-called
west fork of the stream; the said
branch line having length of about
ITO miles"
Surveys were made by the Great North
ern for a road to branch from the Spo-
kane Falls & Northern, take circuitous
route and reach Republic. This route
would have been especially beneficial to
Spokane.
Engineering difficulties stood in the
way Of the acceptance of the Spokane
Falls & Northern route. A crossing over
the Columbia would have been necessary
and heavy grades would have been en-
countered the entire distance. None Of
these obstacles were to be overcome If
the Wenatchee route was accepted
! 1t is understood the plan of the Great
Northern in building from Wenatchee to
build main branch that will follow the
valley of the Columbia river as far north
as the boundary. Three branches will be
built tapping an immensely rich district.
The entire Big Bend country will be made
tributary to the new feeder of Hilrs sys-
| tenn and the richest mining districts on
the east side will ship over the line
The new branch will probably follow
| the Columbia river on an easy grade as
| far with the Canadian Pacifc's cutoff,
the Columbia & Great Western. This will
give railroad cutting straight through
Chelan county and across Okanogan It
will permit a number of Okanogan min
ing districts which have suffered for the
! lack of a railroad to push development
work, including Palmer mountain.
! The exact route the Great Northern
would pursue to reach Republic is I'M
known outside the general offices of the
road, but 1t is probable Bonaparte creek
will be followed pretty closely. The
branch may, however, reach into Ferry
county far to the south of this point. 1t
| is also probable that any branch the
Great Northern builds will touch the
south half.
| third branch will probably tap the
Methow mining districts. These are
among the richest in the state, but have
suffered for the lack of a railroad.

MORE BOOKS ARE NEEDED
LIBRARY BOARD WILL ENDEkvoR
TO FULFILL DEMANDS.

The library board held its fourth reenz
lar meeting at O'Clock last evening
MRS. Julia E. Metcalf urged the neces-
slty OF setting aside funds with which ~
purchase new books. She stated that
oue. Few up-to-date books had been added
70 the library In some time, and that the
lacK or certain volumes was the cause
OF many complaints from a number of
literary societies all over the CITY.
with close figuring the board found
tilat II would nave a small surplus for
that purpose, but did not deem It advis-
able, at present, to risk the possibility
OF running short before the emo of De-
cember Mr. F. A. Fogg, chairman of
the committee on administration s,,b.
m1tted a report making an allowance for
three employees 5who have been engaged
In the library some time on the supposi
ton that such action would be taken
Inc drayage bill fer the moving of the
DOCKS to the new quarters was taken
under advisement upon Mr. Fogg's sug
gest1on- The bill amounted to $3.50 Or
nearly equivalent to three-fourths Of a
cent per volume. At a moderate esti
mate of an average of 800 volumes ner
load Its recompensa ton would amount
, to over $3.50 for hauling a load a little
over three blocks. The bill doesn't in
clude the carrying of the books to and
from the shelves.
The July pay roll was audited
Inc chairman of the building commit
tee presented a report favoring the i'm
mediate canceling of all but SIPS. 900 in
surance on the building This will save
the premium on $27,5O0, and $50. 500 will
be carried on the books. This is about
a dollar volume Mrs Metcalf stated
that this amount was not what the books
originally cost and was far below their
real value,e although a fair estimate of
what the library WOULD bring if put on
the market. 8s
An accountant has been EMPLOYED to
take care of the business books A prop
osition to lease the property north of
the building for few nights to accom-
nodate an entertainment company was
emphatically turned down.
The renting of the large hall in the
front OF the. building was left unsettled
The building committee, will hold a con-
ference with Mr.. Vanish and, hope to
arrive at q satisfactory, agreement to all
concerned before the next meeting of the
board. Mr.. Vanish represents the Manu-
facturers' union, who desire the hail for
exhibition purposes ~ 1i:58
Mr.. Fogg drought up the fact that an
increase is due several employees 1t
will be attended to as soon as the board
