Judge Thayer.
Without leaving his bench and with
out word of argument in behalf of
the Evening Leader company, Judge
Thayer. yesterday afternoon gave de-
cision in its favor. This judgment
was given in the action brought by
William r. Sanford, formerly proprie-

Evening Leader for $1,000, alleging
that in an article which appeared year.

was stated that a warrant was out for
the arrest of Sanford and that he was
missing. About the time the paper
was printed Sanord returned to Derby,
from which he had been absent, and
was arrested. The case against him
was settled, as his business partner,
a man named Davis, who had pre-
ferred the charge, was satisfied and a
'nolle was enered.
Sanford then sued the Evening
Leader for printing the dispatch

CAUSE OF nOL|NEUX DIVORCE
The Hiring Of Detectives to
Watch Mrs Molineux.

That Will, 1t Is Said, Be the Reason
Alleged by Mrs Blanche Molineux in
Her Suit-The Espionage, 1t Is Al
legged, Followed a Quarrel in the
Family.
st Paul, MINI, Dec 5.-A dispatch
from Sioux Falls, s. D., discloses the
grounds upon which Mrs Blanche Mol
ineux is suing her husband for divorce.
The dispatch says:
s'The complaint now prepared will
a1lege that while Roland B. Molineux
was in prison he employed detectives
to shadow her movements, and by his
distrust in her and in consequence of
being followed by detectives she was
caused great mental suffering as TO
constitute cruel and inhuman treat
ment.
THE complaint will recite that dur
ing the second year of the incarceration
of Molineux his wife quarreled with
the family of her husband In which the
latter was involved, and that it was
during the two years following this
break with his family that his distrust
of her caused him to have her watched
and in other ways annoyed by his en-
isSaries
THE courts here deal so literally
with wives who seek divorce that de-
crees are granted for much less cause
than this"

Mr. Grief was assaulted while on his
way home near the corner of Fourth
and Taylor streets. He was attacked
from behind and struck on the head

pied with his assailant but did not see
him plainly enough to be able to iden-
tify him positively.
King was seen running away from
the scene of the assault and was ar
rested at the Rock Island round-house
shortly afterward. A piece of petrified
wood was found in his pocket which
the police believed was the weapon
used. The evidence against King was
purely circumstantial. Melvin Atwood
testified that King came to the rounds
house early in the evening to warm
and that he stayed there until he was
arrested with the exception of about ali
hour. The hour that he was absent
from the round-house was the same
time that the assault took place. Henry
billiard saw King running north from
the scene of the assault shortly after
it occurred.
The police claim that the tracks left
by the man who assaulted Grief CORE
spond with those of Kings shoes. King
denied all knowledge of the assault, and
said that while he was absent from the
round-hOuse he was looking for d
freight train in hopes of getting a ride
to his home in Lawrence.
