WOES COME WITH MARRIAGE
Attorney Brown RsoitsS the Difficulties BE
Has with Mether-in-Law.
GETS HIM INTO ALL KINDS OF TROUBLE
According TO story Told IN Petition
Insult f. Added to Injury By
Calling Him q "One-
Horse Lawyer"

Too much mother-in-law is the keynote
of ]. W. Browns petition for divorce from
Matte G. Brown, filed In the district court
yesterday. The plaintiff is an attorney OF
Charles City, Ia, but stated in his petition
that owing to his domestic troubles he
has forever left that own and is now
seeking a new location. He fears that his
wife will not only follow him to his new
location, but will bring her mother also,
and this is one Of the a grounds on
which Attorney Brown asks the court to
sever the matrimonial bonds.
Attorney Brown was married In Ohio in
September, 1898, where he lived until the
spring Of 1902, when he moved to Charles
City. His wife's parents, who had their
home with him since his marriage, also
moved, continuing their residence with
him and partaking of his bread, for which,
he alleges, they paid absolutely nothing.
Beginning the recital Of his domestic
troubles Attorney Brown alleges that his
wife's parents are possessed Of uncontrol-
liable tempers. which they continually
vented on him so az to make life almost
u~nbearable. His mother-in-law, he al
leges. was particularly abusive toward him
and took especial delight in ridiculing his
business and calling him a "one-horse law
yer"
Further he alleges that his wife and her
mother poisoned the chickens Of q neigh
Dor and this led TO a long and bitter quar-
rel and the loss OF the neighbor as a former
profitable client. On another occasion his
mother-in-law caused trouble by c~irculat-
ing stories about a young woman stenog-
rapher in his ONCE and he was forced to
discharge the young woman, and It was
only by mere chance that he missed q SLAM
der suit in connection with the affair. Then
he employed q young man, q relative, In
his ONCE, and alleges that his mother-in-
law circulated false stories about him and
wrote to the young mans people. and he
had considerable trouble in preventing her
from being arrested by the federal author
tiles for unlawful use Of the nails
Attorney Brown says that the treatment
he received from his wife and her mother
caused him to lay awake at night IN con-
slant fear and trembling Of what next might
happen. He at one time threatened to or
der his mother-in-law out Of the house, but
his wife said she would go also, and he de-
sisted. Matters, however, reached such a
distressing stage and his health became so
impaired that Attorney Brown states that
he at last decided that unless he wished
to fll a premature grave he had better Sc
cure a divorce and a new location for the
practice Of his profession.

County Attorney Killpack, on his return
to the city yesterday. was advised Of the
action OF the Portland Gold Mining oom-
pany Of Colorado in authorizing the board
OF directors to dissolve the Iowa incorpora-
ton and reincorporate In some other state
to avoid the attempt to assess It for taxa
tion here. He said:
Il believe that the county board will take
steps to enforce the collection Of the tax,
but whether It can be done or not is q ques-
tion. In the event Of the assessment be-
ing held legal and valid. It is a question
how the tax can be collected. h COM
pany has no visible property in Pottawat-
tamie county that can be levied upon. 1t
might be that a judgment might be OBJ
tanned In the court and the judgment
transcribed to Colorado and execution had
there. but at this time / cannot state what
course viii be pursued. ! have no doubt,
however, but the county will make a test
case OF 1t. as $500, 900 in taxes is certainly
worth going after even II the county fails
