The Best Kansas News.
Faithful Woman, ra,thle.. Man.

In the petition filed in q divorce
suit in Montgomery county there is
recited remarkable story of woman's
sacrifice and mans faithlessness. The
petitioner is Mrs. Rosa Scovil. She
says she married Ernest Scovil in 1887
and that they lived happily until 1890.
when her husband was arrested for
breaking into a freight car. After
ne had been lodged in the Montgom-
cry county Jail to await trial she
moved to the county seat and worked
as q domestic for wages which she
expended in procuring delicacies for
her husband. He was convicted, but
on account of his youth he was sent
to the reformatory instead of the pen
itentiary, and his wife followed him to
Hutchinson. There again she worked
as domestic and spent her earnings for
her husband. In due time he was re-
leased and came to see her, but only
to tell her that he was going to leave
and never come back. She begged
him to stay and said she could make
the living for both of them, but he
had tired of her, and he went away.
