HOWARD FAMILY
TROUBLES AGAIN
AIRED IN COURT
Judge Harter Hears
Wife's Application
for Alimony.
HUSBAND DISAPPEARS FROM CITY.

The alimony case of Lizzie NJ. How
ard against Adam d. Howard was
heard before Judge Harter Wednesday
morning. Mrs. Howard did not ask
divorce, but simply wanted to get a
share of the real estate which her hus-
band held in his name, and which is
about to be sold on foreclosure to set
tie claims against it.
Witnesses were placed upon the
stand to prove that the husband had
abused his wife and was at present
failing to provide for her. The wife
told of the alleged assault he had
made upon her on June Z, which re-
suited in his arrest by the Canton
police.
She claims that he dragged her out
OF bed, beat her with his fists and
bumped her head against the floor.
Other act of extreme cruelty were
recited
Evidence was introduced to show
that on June 10 last when Howard left
the city, he had drawn $1,000 out Of
the bank and taken it with him. He
has six houses in the Third ward on
the east side of Young street between
Second and Third streets. Appraisers
fixed the value of this property at
$4,000. There are judgments and
claims against it aggregating about
$4,50O.
After hearing the evidence Judge
Harter decreed that after the indebt.
edness is paid the wife shall have two
thirds of what is left. Attorneys Tay-
lor &c Stewart represent the plaintiff.
Howard's whereabouts are unknown
and he was not represented at the
hearing.
DIVORCE GRANTED.
Mary l.. Reichenbach of Canton was
granted a divorce by Judge Harter
Wednesday on the ground of willful
absence and failure to provide from
her husband Fred Reichenbach. The
case was devoid of any sensational
features. Attorneys Taylor & Stew
art represented the wife and the hus-
band did not appear.
