SUIT FoR SEPARATION.

SUIT FOR SEPARATION.
The Weavers have been living apart
since November. and the husbands suit
for a separation is now pending in the
supreme court
The ground on which the separation Is
asked is "cruel ana inhuman treatment" Z"
the petition alleging that the criminal
acts OF the defendant constitute cruel and
inhuman treatment OF her husband.
In the complaint forgeries OF the hus-
bands name are specified on which notes
were discounted at local banks 10 the ag-
gregate amount of $500 The complaint
intimates that the name OF the defend
ants mother. Mrs. Harriet II. Wells. has
also been forged for large amounts. and
alleges that Mr.. Weaver has no means
of knowing what other names have been
forged by his wife, but that he fears that
the full list has not yet been discovered.
The answer denies forgery.
Mrs Weaver was bailed bv her mother
when arrested, and IL is said that Mrs.
Wells. who has considerable property.

ant will be arraigned before Judge Suth-
erland I'm the county court early THIS

ing circles that sundry local financial IN
stitutions have the paper issued by Mrs.

only one presented 20 the grand jury.

he would endorse anybody. He saw

considering the question of dispOSing of

A rather difficult question is involved
in General Chaffee'S request for inStrue-

tortitications, no particular difficulty is
involved, for the state department has
clearly set out its view that THESE should
not be destroyed. but simply dismantled
As to the question of fortified posts, it

Meanwhile the war department is push

now stated that everything will be in
