be rather puzzling to English gofng cousins
TAFT it will be remembered, volunteered for SER
vice in the famous Black Watch Highlanders, and
killed IN the South African War. At the meet

be hoped that some with idea how
5000 can be utilized in charitable golf
ing way will give the committee the benefit of
his deliberations. 1t seems to be understood that
the money should be used for the benefit of the
less fortunate professionals and caddies for whom
Lieutenant TAFT had warm feeling. and for whom
he always contributed generously

QUEER CAUSE FOR DIVORCE
Plaintiff Husband Claims the Wife
RnOzed IL IN Into the MOOSE

Oklahoma City, 0. T., Aug 1.-Suit was
filed in the district court yesterday by
N. C. Parks TO obtain a divorce from his
wife, Ollie Parks. The couple were mar
rfed at Canyon, Randall county, Texas,
on the 18th Of the present month and
have lived apart since that time Parks
sets up rather a peculiar cause why tie
divorce should be granted, and the peti-
ton in the case is given in full below:
THE plaintiff for a cause of action
herein alleges and says: That this plain
tiff, n. c. Parks, and the defendant, Ollie
Parks, were married at Canyan, Rainfall
county, Texas, on July Is, 1900, and now.
and ever since have been, husband ard
wife.
That the plaintiff is an actual bona
fide resident Of Oklahoma county, Okla
hon1a territory, and an actual and bona
hde resident Of Oklahoma territory for
more than one year prior 20 the fling Of
this petition.
That said marriage of this plaintiff
and defendant is null ana void fc- the
reason at the time said marriage was
contaminated, July IS. 1900, this plaintiff
was incapable of contracting by reason Of
drunkenness and intoXtcation, which tenn
porarily deprived plaintiff Of reason and
understandings, which rendered him
wholly incapable Of comprehending the
nature Of the contract entered into
That the defendant frsudulently pro-
cured the contamination OF said marriage
by conniving and procuring the drunken
ness and intoxlcation of this plaintiff
That as soon as the plaintiff came
sober and regained his reason and control
of his mental faculties, he disappeared
and rescinded said marriage contract.
and has not cohabitated with the defen-
dant since the discovery of said fraud.
Whereof plaintiff prays that by decree
of this court, the said marriage TO be,
an dto have been. at and from the time
of its celebration, null and void. and that
such further relief may be granted to the
plaintiff as TO equity pertaineth and the
nature of the case requires
