Chicago, May S.-Immediatc request
for a temporary restraining bill and
the possibility that the government
may ask that goods under shipment be
confiscated is the program to be fol-

their assault upon the beef packers. A
semi-official statement was made at
the office of the United States district
attorney that the bill would likely be
filed early Friday. The confiscation
clause which it is limited has been in
corporated in the bill grows out of the
mysterious relations existing between
the packers and the railways and the
intimation that the attorney general
proposes to force the issue on the con-
fiscation clause of the Sherman anti
trust act has caused alarm among the
packers.

Makes an Ugly Charge
Against Former Wife and
the Physician.
ASKS $4,000 DAMAGES
Makes Allegation That the Relations
Between Mrs. Hammond and the
! Medical Man Have Not Been Exact.
Iy What They Should Be.

Des Moines, May S.-Jesse b. Ham
mond, formerly of Ottumwa, late yes
terday afternoon filed petition in
district court in this city asking dam
ages in the sum of $4,000 against DR..
E. B. Walston, Des Moines physi-
clan, charging that the doctor has sus-
tanned illicit relations with Mrs. Ham
mond, who is now divorced from her
husband. Mr.. Hammond alleged that
he was married to Mary Hammond in
Indiana, April IL, 1898, (an evident
mistake as Ottumwa people are
aware) and that they lived together
until December IS. 1901. Mr.. Ham
mond says that during a portion of
that time DR.. Walston was his fam
lily physician and that the latter took
advantage of this fact to have illicit
relations with Mrs. Hammond. This
action, it is said, is the direct result
of shooting affray which occurred
at 1041 Sixth avenue about two weeks
ago, the occasion pelns Wnen HAM
mond called on his former wife, as
he claims, at her request, and found
Walston with her.
Upon demanding admission to the
house Walston appeared and told
Hammond that he could not see his
former wife. 1t is said that this en-
ragged Hammond and he fired point
blank at Walston, but the bullet went
wide of the mark. Hammond has pre-
viously told his troubles to a police
man, and an officer was present when
the shooting took place, and to him
Hammond handed the smoking gun af
ter the shot was fired.
Hammond is in police court today
before Judge Silvara to answer to a
charge of assault with intent to com
nit murder filed against him by DIR.
