He had been i'll less than one day of
hemorrhase of the stomach. His sons
and daughters in Ohio and Texas have
been notified and they will direct the

David Nation filed suit here for di-
vorce from Mrs. Carrie Nation in Au-
gust, 1901. He alleged that by her cru
sade against the liquor traffic, she had
held him up to public ridicule, con-
tempt and disgrace. He alleged that
she had neglected family duties and had
abandoned his home. Mr.. Nation al
legged among other things that his wire
had taken away his feather bed. Mrs.
Nations comment when she heard of
the suit was:
I have lived a falsehood by holding
out to the world that I respected him. I
feel great relief. What use mas he
for divorce? He is 70 years old. He
can't marry again.
Mr. Nation said he had a letter in
which his wife called him "a hell-bound
hyprocrite.'' She retorted by saying he
would not get up and build a fire on a
cold morning. The divorce was granted.
Mrs. Nation began her crusade IN Janu-
airy, 1901, by smashing several Joints. ,"

the American Association club and
three by the Western League team. The
Associationists not only retain the
