Fent BurIeigh Asks for Divorce From
Ernest Burieiqh

Fifteen thousand dollars alimony is the
amount asked by Mrs. Fent Burleigh in
her petition for divorce from Ernest f.
Burleigh which was filed yesterday
morning in the district court.
The petition states that she and the
defendant were married on July g. 1905,

sixty days. and especially during the past
week. the defendant has been guilty OF
extreme cruelty towards her. She says
he has threatened to shoot her and that
he keeps loaded revolver in his posses
sion az all times and is prepared to carry
his threat into execution.
She claims that on the evening OF Oc-
tober Il he was particularly abusive and
many times threatened violence and made
demonstrations as though he would inflict
violence to her person. She AYERS that
she is kept in continual excited and
nervous state of mind which will perma-
nently affect her health.
The petition goes on TO state that the
defendant refuses to provide her with
clothing and to defray the expenses of
the house hold. which thereby compels he7
TO be dependent upon her mother for sub
sistence.
She states that the defendant is engaged
in no business and that he does not in
tend to do any work or go into any bus
mess until he has squandered and spent
all his property.
The petition claims that BurIeigh has
ample income TO support them. but that
he spends the same in different forms Of
dissipation and, as she believes, gam
bling
The petition also states that the defend
ant is the owner of a farm Of loo acres
in Pawnee county. Nebraska which Is
valued at 5000: also that he has three

We're placed in the station November 10.
The contents had never before been taken
out
Although the money secured by the
thief is not large sum, and the fact
that it was taken is not worrying those
in charge 70 any extent. they are
tremely exasperated at the boldness OF
the robbery.
Inc passenger station is opened every
morning about o'clock and is closed for
the night each evening Immediately after
the last train departs, which is SIS O'Clock.
There was no variance from that custom
on the day or night when the money is
supposed to have been taken During the
hours that the station is open, those in
charge OF the ticket office are continually
on duty and the waiting room is usually
full of people. In addition TO that, clerks
who are employed by the company and
work on the second floor are continually
passing TO and from the building
When the station was opened yesterday
morning for business everything was
first discovered the machines had been
robbed when he was called upon by two
men who had dropped money in the ma
chine and failed to receive any gum, to
return them their money. Mr.. Deem
opened the machines and found that the
money was gone. Beyond the fact that
the chewing gum contents of the ma

showed no evidence Of having been tam

amount in silver.

TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreet's report on trade last
week says:
Previously existing favorable condi-
tons still rule Spring trade shows
further expansion, particularly in dr..
goods. such as linens. wash fabrics
underwear and woolens. Clothing
shoes and hardwood lumber are act
i've and the volume Of shipments OF
spring goods 20 fill orders offers still
another probleE for the congested
transportation companies to solve. A
spell of mild weather has induced the
beginning Of the usual clearance sale
Of surplus winter goods by retailers
II has also tended to soften the acute
ness Of the anthracite coal shortage al
he east and cause lowering Of prices
This, however. is regarded as temper
airy only, another seasonable Geld snaT
containing great possibilities in the
way Of enhanced prices. The snow
covering winter wheat is not uniform
and is on the whole rather scant, hui
no unusual deterioration is reported.
Textiles, particularly cotton and
wooden goods, occupy a strong posi-
ton.

German Wsrships Unable to Pass sar
Carlos.

Maracaibo, Venezuela, Jan. 25.-A
boat with the representative of the
Associated Press on board, which was
sent from here to Fort San Carlos,
has returned to Maracaibo, bringing
the news that the German warships
had not shelled the fort since Thurs.
day night. When the boat left San
Carlos the German cruiser Panther
was the only war vessel in sight. She
was about one mile from the bar.
The village Of San Carlos, consisting
Of so houses, built of wood and straw
and inhabited by $50 fisher folk, was
totally burned as the result of having
been set on fire by the explosion OF
shells from the warships.
The garrison at San Carlos, number
ing 2S9 men, was still holding the fort
when the boat left the island. AS the
walls of the fort are below the earth
lines they are still in good condition
The Panther attempted to pass
through the straits in front OF the fort
but desisted from doing so probably
from the danger In navigating those
waters.

onel Arthur Lynch's sentence will be
committed to life Imprisonment ana

years.
Colonel Lynch was tried on charge
Of high treason and sentenced to

While engaged in fighting in the
ranks of England's then enemies he
was elected a member Of the British

his return TO his native land made
him again a citizen of the Upte'i

GANG OF ITALIANS LOOT JERSEY
CENTRAL TRAIN.

elry-Wrecked Train Caught Fire
Injured Roasted Alive in Sight of
Rescuers-Rear End Collision Be-
tween Passenger Trains-2o Persons
Dead, Large Number Injured.

New York, Jan. 30.-Attempts are
being made TO locate tho gang Of Ital-
ians who swooped down upon the
wrecked train OF the Jersey Central
railroad near Graceland and systemat-
ically robbed the victims.
Some Of the stories told by the in
jured are appalling. Fingers were cut
of. earrings were torn out Of WON
ems ears and other atrocities com
mitted in the confusion of the cries
Of the wounded and dying and the
kissing Of steam from the wrecked
coaches.
Fire added TO the horrors and some
Of the injured were roasted in sight OF
the rescuers.
The wreck took place about a mile
from Graceland. near New York,
when the Royal Blue train at full
speed ran into the rear of a way
train. Three cars took fire after the
collision. making rescue for a time
impossible.
The way train left New York at
5:15 O'Clock. making express time TO
Bound Brook. where its service
changes to local. The Royal Blue
Line flyer left New York at O'Clock
and was TO overtake the way train
after leaving Graceland.
At Graceland the way train found
its usual track blocked by a freight
and got orders to take the express
track TO Dunellen.
Just before reaching DHnellen a
hot box caused a delay and as the
train got under way the flyer, travel
ing at 65 miles an hour. struck it. The
flyers engine left the rails after pillow.
ing half way through the rear coach
Of the local.
The fagman sent back by the local
had been recalled as the train started
and the torpedoes left on the track
were not noticed by the flyers crew.
Railway officials this morning said
they had knowledge Of but Is dead
as result OF the wreck.
Fourteen were removed from the
wreck and the other died at a nearby
residence. Although traffic has been
resumed. the wreckage is still being
searched.
The injured list is incomplete. but
conservative estimates place the mum
Der between so and 40. Six Of the
dead are unidentified.
The search up TO noon adds to the
horror. The list OF the dead will
reach 80. An accurate list may never
be made, for as the ruins Of the
wrecked Easton train were pulled
from beneath the flyer parts of many
bodies were found and it is believed
many were burned.
Sixteen bodies have been identified
Several more bodies are reported
scattered through the hRmlets in the
vicinity and there are several uniden
tilted bodies at the westfield station
OF these latter four are so badly bat
tered and burned that Identification Is
impossible.
Workers in the wreckage are still
discovering portions of bodies.
Engineer Davis of the flyer, who
was pulled out from beneath his en-
CINE and reported dead, is in &
Plainfeld hospital in a dying condition
The injured number more than 40
many of whom will die.
