DIVORCE SUIT REVEALS
PECULIAR ROMANCE.
Woman Remarries on Superstition
Tint Husband Was Killed in War
Now Seeks Legal Separation.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Springfield, H.. Dec. ga sensation has
been caused In cass County by the bring
ing of a suit for divorce against sup
posed victim of the Civil War. whose wife
has for twenty years been living with
her second husband on a farm five miles
north of Virginia, Ill.
The complainant in the case is Mrs.
Andrew Morgan. Her first husband, the
man against whom the bill for divorce Is
directed, is Burdett Pickle Since the OPEN
ing of the Civil War his wife has not
seen him, and she married her second
husband under the supposition that he
had been killed In battle.
Pickle and his wife were married in
Cass County January Is, 1861, and soon
after the marriage the husband enlisted
In the Federal Army and went South:
Morgan also enlisted in the army and
served during the war. He returned at
the close of the struggle, but Pickle
never came back, and the report was that
he had been killed.
Mrs. Morgan owns a considerable body
of land, and recently she decided portion
of it to her three children. IN investi-
eating the title the question concerning
the first husband came UP, and an In
vestigation revealed the fact that Pickle
was not dead, although he had permitted
the family to think he was all these years.
Mrs Morgan asks for a divorce on the
ground of desertion.

Wildly Enthusiastic Over the
Victory Won by Carlisle In
dams in California.
TRICK PLAYS ARE NUMEROUS.
Westerners Are Heavier and
Stronger, but No Match for
Shifty and Well-Trained
Nisitors-Score Is % to 0.

San Francisco. Dec. 25.-Superior team
work and an abundance of trick Plays,
| coupled with more thorough training,
gave the Carlisle Indian football team a
decisive victory over the All-California
eleven this afternoon, at one of the most
spectacular games ever played on the
coast. The score was % to o.
Ideal weather conditions prevailed and
| the field was in splendid condition for
snappy playing.
Captain Johnson of the visiting eleven
| lived up to his reputation as one Of the
greatest quarter backs and football gen.
erals In the country. and the star aggre-
CATION of the coast players were no match
for his well-drilled men.
The attendance was about 700. The
partisanship was equally divided at the
| outset, but at the conclusion of the game
| the admiration for the redskins grew SO
| intense that Captain Johnson was carried
aloft on the shoulders of the throng after
several women had become so enthusiastic
| as to embrace him.
In the first few minutes Of play the ALL
| Californians swept the Indians before
though the home team would have a walk
| over. But the ball moved to the Cal
| ifornianS' territory as soon as the Indians
resorted to trick plays. after having found I'M
! line of a team that weighed twenty
| pounds heavier to the man.
| Captain johnson made the first touch
| down about the middle of the first half,
| but failed to kick goal. The stiffness of
| the Indians puzzled the California men
| greatly, and they were utterly unable TO
| figure the generalship of the redskins
| captain. Between Johnson and Williams,
| the Carlisle full back. the local men were
| kept guessing.
/ In the second half the Carlisle men re-
sumed their shifty tactics and made hun
| dreds Of yards on clever football. Johnson
| took part in the trick plays and kicked
| every goal in the last half.
| The California men rallied near the close
| of the game and spent their force In
| fierce bucks against the Carlisle line.
| This line of action soon tired the Cali
| fornians and they were unable to score,
although within fifteen yards of the Car
| Isle goal posts.
