Special to metropolitan.
Fort Dodge, Ia, Oct. 2s.The people,
of Emmetsburg are revelling in one of
the choicert morsels Of social gossip that
has disturbed society for many moons.
1t has more foundation than most gos-i
sip. the basis of the talk being a $40, 900
suit for damages filed against the Ems
metsburg Democrat by Mrs. Cora T..
Perkins. wife OF E. r. Perkins, Des
Moines dentist. The suit is the denoue-
Ement Of a sensational episode at Ar
mold g Park summer resort last July.
During that month the Democrat pub
lished an article severely rejecting on
the character Of the resort and giving
a detailed account of a gambling diff
flculty which wac described az a dis
graceful row. This occurred on Sunday,
July 8. The alleged difficulty was said
to be one in which two strange men and
two unknown women figured. The arti-
Gle closed with the statement that one
of the ladies, who asked for the arrest
of the gamblers and the return OF her
jeWelry, that had been pawned and lost
in a game Of poker. said her name was
Mrs. Dr. Perkins and that her home
was in Des Moines This is the specific
charge upon which the suit for damages
is based. The fling Of the papers has re-
3vived all the former talk about the al
legged rapid pace which the summer
guests at Arnold's Park Travelled last
season.

that Hunt made ridiculous bets ON the

part of the proceedings being that he
always won his bets. He engaged three
or four of the ships crew at large fig

The steward was offered a monthly
salary OF $500 and others in proportion.
During the voyage he engaged several
poker players in game and won 5000
marks from the vice. consul OF Belgium
at Pekin. He made the Belgian swear
on the ships Bible that he would never
again engage in the American game
and then returned the money.
d Hunt was resident of this city
twenty years ago and was a teacher in
tfle high school. Later he was superin-
tendent of schools at Mt. Pleasant anG

Talbot brought action against both the
Sioux City National Bank and the First

the litigation. In 1890 Talbot borrowed
$4,000 from the Sioux National and
he previously had borrowed $4,000
from the First National. The loans
were secured by mortgages on Mr.. Tai

SENSATION AT WATERLOO.
Man Named scrog9ins Arrested fol
Grave Crime.

Grave Crime.
Waterloo, Oct. 29.~-An example OF the
wrong-doing Of wife and mother was
aired in Justice Kern e court at about 10
o'clock Saturday night, when her COM
panionai in debauchery wasSarraigned on
q charge of adultery. the information
being filed by a wronged husband.
The arrest was made between the
hours Of 8 and 10 o'clock under rather
Sensational circumstances. Some time
ago E. A. Carr, farmer of Spring
Creek township, reported to the officers
that his wife had deserted him and her
seven children, and that he believed
that she had fed to this city with Ben
jamin Scroggins, who had been VOL king
in the vicinity of the Carr home and.
there met Mrs. Carr. Ehe husband, who
was firmly convinced of his wife's inf
deity; could not forgive the woman and
sought counsel for the purpose OF Pc
curing legal separation from the WON
an. Then it was that the. story OF the
woman's dessrtion of home became
known and the attorney consulted az
Sisted the husband to the extent Of his
power. SIS
b Mr.. Carr is q hard working farmer,
always providing as far as he is able
for his family. and now in separating
from his wife. ne is unwilling t9 take
& from his children any part of his saw
ings to go to the woman who was nn-
faithful to her marriage vows. 10 pros
vide against sucf1sa contingency .l1e Of
sf1cers get about to gather evidence
that would exclude the possibility of
the wife obtaining alimony when di-i
rorce lis secured. The officers learned
that Scroggins and Mrs. Carr came to
Waterloo over two months ago and
moved into a Little house on Cedar
street, near Woods ice house The
man secured employment at Stewards
hack barn, where he worked until.
a bout two weeks ago, when he failed to
come back one night and the next day
the woman collected his wages, saying
her husband was i'll and would be
unable to return to work.
The house was located by Constables
Munger and Flckinger and Sheriff
Law, and they visited it at about 9: 80
o'clock Saturday night. They knocked
at the door, but the hardness of the
inmates in answering the summons
made it necessary for the officers to
force an entrance, breaking in upon n
scene that at once furnished positive
evidence Of the mans guilt Of the
crime charged.
The residence Of the pair is a hoyel
OF one living room and little kitchen,
both rooms being so crowded that there
was scarcely room for the bed, which
was the principal article of furniture.
The man was made to hasten his prep
arations and was at once taken to JUS
tice Kern for arrangement. He asked
time in which to consult an attorney
and the case was set for hearing this
/ morning.
