FREED FROM INSANE WIFE.
davenport Dentist Given Decree on
Second Application.

Special to Times Republican.
Davenport, May 19.--Judge Jackson
last night rendered a decree annuling
the marriage contract In the case of
Henry NJ Baird VS.. Lizzie Baird. and
after a long delay the plaintiff in the
case is free from his insane wife.
Mr.. Baird is dentist who moved
here about two years ago. and who be-
gan an action in the district court to
secure divorce from his wife on the
grounds Of insanity. 1t seems from the
evidence that the wife had been in an
insane asylum before their marriage.
and the Judge refused to divorce on
these grounds.
Accordingly an action to have the
marriage annuled was started shortly
afterward. and this was the case that
was tried last night.
The evidence showed that the woman
had been in the insane asylum before
the wedding took place, some twenty
one years ago. in Scott county. Ken
lucky, and witnesses testified that they
did not think she was in her right
mind when the wedding took place.
Shortly after their marriage MIR. and
Mrs Baird removed from Kentucky and
papers were produced to show that
since that time Mrs Baird had been
confined in the asylum at Mount
Pleasant When she was released the
woman failed to return home. and MIR.
Baird has been unable to find her since
that time.
With the prospect of being welded
to woman whom he did not know
whether she was alive or dead, Mr..
Baird decided to bring an action, and
this was the cause OF the suit. The
Judge stated last night that he would
grant the annullment and the decree is
being prepared.

court here yesterday, when Johh =.
FINLEY, mayor of Doom, and ). M. Far

Judge Gaynor to indulge in legai 'ou'.
The plaintiff was DR.. e. !. Ellis a
veterinary surgeon at doom, VINO oe-
c,ores emphatically that he was sold
drugged whisky in the saloon or Hay
ward G. Schenck at Rock Rapids ana
then was robbed of $3.50. He asserts IN
an affidavit that he has taken course
in a Kelley institute and that the sell
ing of intoxicating liquors to MN IN

law. In his petition. drawn by Mr.
FINLEY, he asserts that the saloonkeep-
ers mentioned have failed to qualify IN

sary stated. He asked the court 10 Is

In their answer and in afiidayits the
s;i1oonmen assert in plain language that
the whole matter is matchmaking

John F. FINLEY for the purpose of ex-
torting the sum of $3.50 from the de-
PENDANTS. The affidavit of J. w. Hay

produces a letter which Mr.. FINLEY
wrote to the saioonmen. in which he
said DR.. Ellis had reported that he had
been sold drugged whisky and then
robbed In the saloon In question, and
that after an investigation by Mr.. Tin

it was ascertained that the charges
were substantially true and the best
thing for the saloon r'roprietors to do
would be to pay up the amount. The
affidavit then states that If DR.. Ellis
declares he was nlistreated In any
manner in the saloon he "willfully pre-
varicates.''

lowe City Man Relates the Story
of the Labor Troubles
There
MOVER IN THE "BuLL PEN"
Though the Miners in Many Cities Are
Very Bitter Over the Situation in
Which He is Placed, 1t is Not Nearly
So Bad a Place as Has Been Painted
In the Papers.
Special to Times Republican.

Iowa City, May ia. G.. Showers,
who has travelled during the past two
months in the heart of the great Col
orado labor trouble, returned yester-
day and has told the story of the re-
markable situation as he saw 1t.
The miners are bitter in many
cities" he says, over the imprison-
ment of President Meyer, of the Wes-
tern Federation of Miners, in the So
called bull PEN"
1.-The bull pen by the way, is not
nearly SO bad a place as has been
painted in the papers and many Of the
soldiers would prefer it to the quarters
which they are given.
ION the other hand, Secretary Hay
wards attempts to injure Adj. Cen.
Bell are bitterly resented by the SOL
diers and indeed by all right thinking
people. If the supreme court decides
that Adj. Gen. Bell has no right to re-
strain Meyer in prison, and that writ
then the martial law which is now es-
tabMshed in the state will be set at
naught and no one knows what will
happen. II the martial law Is sus-
taine-s.. the supreme court and Meyer
is refused the habeas corpus. Meyer
will have to stay In prison. but the
miners who have been back OF him in
this trouble will resent the action and
will no doubt fight for what they con-
ceive TO be their rights. Either decis-
ion by The supreme court is fraught
with the greatest danger to the well
fare of the state at large.
Zone of the most thrilling sights in
the whole trouble was the deportation
of the striking miners from Telluride.
The merchants, members OF the So
called Protective Association, saved
themselves from failure by breaking
up the boycott and forming union
among themselves. When the mer-
chants could stand the rule OF the
strikers no longer 1t was determined to
send the leaders from the city. The
men were captured one at time and
confined in house and when about so
had been captured they we're placed In

its where they were told to go and
never to return on the pain of death.
This act had to be repeated one more
time when s5 were sent out, before the
rioting stopped.
The big strike has not only hurt
miners and owners but 1t has hurt
every phase Of industry as we'll. At
the hotels the trade OF the travelling
public was practically shut off. In the
stores and In the business part of the
city the quiet OF the country refgned.

President Stickney to Provide Accom-
modations at Clarion.

Special to Times Republican.
Fort Dodge May 19.-There Is a
probability that within a week or 80
President Stickney of the Great West
ern will put into practice at Clarion
a plan which he has carried out SO
successfully at different times in his
railroad experience when 1t was diff
cult for his employees to find reason
able accommodations in the town or
city in which they make their head
quarters. Among the officials and
employees of the Great Western the
plan is known as the club plan. It's
purpose is to solve the difficulty in
the way of the cost of living in towns
in which are centered number of
employees who must make their home
there, but who are asked exhorbitant
prices for the necessities of life by the
older residents of the town. Whether
this is true of Clarion can only be
judged from the experience of the men
located there, who claim that every
thing Is sky high" Such state of
affairs among the employees and dis
content is something the head of the
road does not desire. To do this he
established the club plan.
Before moving the shops to oelwein
the principal round house and ma
chine shops of the Great Western were
located at a small town north of here.
Continuous complaints We're made by
the railroad men that they We're the
victims of hold-up process of living
This discomfort was finally brought 10
the notice of President Stickney, who
finally discovered plan which he I'M
mediately put into practice He elm
mated the necessity of the mems pay
ing rent by establishing clubs where
they lived independent Of the town.
1t is now reported that within =
short time the upper story of the new
depot at Clarion will be fitted up as
living quarters for trainmen.
