a mining town in this county, which
consists of two men and a woman,
the last named being the divorced
wife of one and wife of the other man.
The four children by the first husband
are also in the family. Moreover, it
is peaceful household. Milton AL
len, farmer, who worked in the coal
mines in winter, lived happily with his
wife for fifteen years, until two years
ago, when August Rash, miner, be-
came a boarder at the Allen home.
Not long afterward Allen discovered
that his wife was in love with Rash,
and when the two men and Mrs. Allen
discussed the matter it was agreed that
there should be a divorce. A division
Of the property, consisting of a small
farm, was made before the suit for d.
vorce was flied. Allen was the de-
fendant, and he purpOsely refrained
from appearing, the divorce being
granted by default Three days later
Mrs. Allen and Rash were married and
returned to the home, where Allen
awaited them. The two men work the
farm together,

CAUSE OF SUCH DECISIVE ACTION
Crete-a-Pierrot Had Seized War Munitions
on . German Ship.

on u 1erman Snlps
Washington, Sept. SIT was an
nounced from Cape Haytien Sept. 3
that the German steamer Markoman-
mia, Captain Nansen, belonging to the
Hamburg-American Packet company.
having on board arms and ammuni-
ton sent by the provisional govern
ment to Cape Haytien, had been
stopped Sept. 2 by the Firminist gun
boat Crete-a-Pierrot at the entrance
to the harbor of Cape Haytien, and
that an armed force sent on board
the steamer from the gunboat took
possession Of the war munitions. in
spite OF the prOtestations of Captain
Nansen and the German consul.
The seizure of the MarkOmannia
has been characterized as an act of
piracy. But a dispatch from Berlin
to the Associated Press, dated Sept. 6.
said German government circles did
not take tragic view Of the seizure
Of the German vessel, but that salts
faction would be demanded.
The Crete-a -Pierrot was formerly In
the service Of the Haytfen govern
ment, and Admiral Killick was COM
mander Of the Haytien feet. Admiral
Killick, however, determined to sup
port General Firmin, ex-Haytian min
'ster at Paris and one Of the candi-
dates for the presidency Of the repub-
lie, and refused to recognize the con-
stituted authorities. For the last two
months United States interests in Hay

States gunboat Machias. Commander
McCrea. 1t recently developed that at
least six European nations had con-
fided the protection Of their interests
in Hayu wholly to the United States
naval force in Haytian waters. Admi-
raj Killick recently declared Cape
Haytien TO be blockaded, but this
blockade was admitted to be inefficient.
and was abandoned by the admiral
after Commander McCrea had made
certain representations to him concern
ing it.
1t was after this that the Crete-a-
Pierrot boarded the Markomannia, so
that the act was unquestonably one
entirely unauthorized by the situation
or by the laws of war There are three
candidates for the presidency of Hayti
-Calisthenes Fouchard, Seneque Mon

minists have been active, and in some
cases successful in their engagements
with the forces of the provisional gov
ernment under the command Of Gen.
eral Alexis Nord. minister of war un-

Lafayette. Ind, Sept. 9.-Between
500 and 600 of the residents of La
ramie township, TippecanOe county,
were crowded into the circuit court
room at Lafyette yesterday to testify
before the county commissioners
against William A. Stultz and J. c..
Yount, of Clarkshill, and Clinton Hol-
lenbeck, Of Stockwell, who are plead
ing for saloon license in that town.
The demonstrators left Clarkshill in
the morning, headed by Harry S. Shaf-
fer, of ''any or all fame" and brass
band of twenty pieces. riding the six
teen miles to Lafayette in carriages,
Occasionally the band would play and
a faint cheer would be heard along the
line Of the caravan" which covered
perhaps two or three miles.
Great Variety I'm Vehicles.
There were phaetons, surreys, hay
wagons, two-wheeled rigs and most ev-
cry kind Of conveyance that could be
pressed into service. All were loaded
to the limit. and the women of Clarks-
hill cheered Justify as the procession
uONeU away lOWdru LdIayette 10 ell
gage in the struggle that is expected
to wipe out every saloon in that town.
AS the caravan" entered Lafayette
the people along the streets who did
not understand the reason for the un-
usual turnout looked on in wonder
ment. The city was literally swamped
by the influx, as the livery stables
were not prepared to accommodate
such large number of carriages and
horses, while hitching places were not
numerous enough to supply the de-
mand. The band did its best all along
the route.
They Have Names to Spare.
The participants in the procession
were in deep earnest. They are as
determined to prevent the granting OF
licenses in Laramie township as would
be gentle Carrie NatiOna herself. The
required number of names to defeat
an application is 35S. There are 4O7
against Yount, 400 against Stultz, and
410 against Hollenbeck. The main
question at issue is the legality OF
some signatures, the claim being made
that some of the signers are not Legal
voters Of the township. The sheriff
Of Tippecanoe county issued 40 sum
monses to residents Of the township tC
appear as witnesses in the case.
