BOND
WASNOT GOOD
Demurrer Has Been Filed in the
Shelter Smith News Of
Local Courts.
OSNABURG WOMAN GIVEN DIVORCE.

In the action brought by the estate
of James B. Shelter to collect the ST.
900 bond given by Bryson w. Smith
and others, demurrer to the petition
has been filed by Attorneys Sterling
Il Braucher, who represent the d.
PENDANTS.
This action grew out of the killing
of Conductor James b. Shelter by
Melvin r. Smith, an insane person.
Smiths father had secured his release
from the asylum by giving bond in
the sum of $1,000 to indemnify any
one whom the patient might injure
while at large.
After Melvin Smith was recommit-
ted to the asylum, the administrator
of the Shelter estate brought suit to
recover the amount Of the bond.
The demurrer alleges that the petit
ton does not state a sufficient cause
fof action; that the bond set up in the
petition is not such a bond as is pro-
vided for in the law under section TOO
1t is also claimed that the estate has
no right of action and that In no sense
is the state Of Ohio party to the ac-
ton.
Attorneys and others are watching
,the outcome of this suit with much in
terest, and it is the first action Of this
kind brought in the county.
DIVORCE GRANTED.
In the case of Sarah j. Nepper
against Elias Nepper, Judge Amber
granted the wife divorce Friday af-
ternoon, upon the grounds of extreme
cruelty. This was the 0snaburg case
in which there was SO much revo,ting
testimony offered, the wife and the
children reciting certain acts of the
defendant, which IL true, were of an
especially cruel nature.
The husband had fled an answer
and proposed to fight the case, but af-
ter a portion of the testimony had
been offered he withdrew. 1t is said
that one reason for his withdrawing
from the case was that It was agreed
that the plaintiff should waive all
right to alimony. Attorneys Sterling
& Braucher represented the wife and
J. B. Snyder the defendant
