HARNESS
Seems to Have a Great
Attraction of Late
for the "StiCk. tO.Fin.
ger" Fraternity.

Detective McDermott arrested John
Smith this morning on Main avenue
near Washington street, as Smith was
staggering along loaded down with a
fine set of Concord harness done up in
gunny sacks so that it resembled roll
of blankets. IL looked too heavy to be
be blankets so the detective thought
to investigate.
He was surprised to find that it was
fine set of harness
Where did you get that?" asked the
officer.
Il own it,"
what are You doing with it:"
Trying TO sell it,
Considerable questioning was indulg.
ed in and the man finally claimed he
was the owner of a ranch near Mis-
soula end had brought the harness to
this city thinking to dispose of il at a
better price.
He was then asked how far from
Missoula his farm was located. He
showed a wceful lack Of the geography
of that portion Of Montana.
The officers questions finally corner
ed him. and he then went on to say he
had come from California with the har-
ness. This was pretty thin.
He will be detained at headquarters
for "a hours in the hopes of a report
being made of stolen harness.

IA Years. Yet lie Is
in Jail Charged With
Grand Larceny.

Fourteen years of age and with a
charge of grand larceny facing him, hit
tie Freddie Shreible, alias Eddie White,

have refused to be candidate against
the governor had the latter been NOM
mated.
1t is now believed that the only
thing which might prevent Mr.. Toll
man pressing his candidacy before
the state convention would be the
possibility of inducing Judge Turner
to take the position.
Mr.. Tolman's candidacy will con-
fiict with that of DR.. p s. Byrne Of
Spokane. The only men talked of in
the state for the governorship on the
democratic ticket seem to be the three
men from Spokane-Turner, Byrne
and Tolman.
4 There Is at present a renewal of the
talk In favor of nominating Turner
for governor in the hopes that he
would be able to pull the ticket
through, at least the legislative por-
tion of it, and that he could then be
elected to the United States senate,
leaving the governors chair to be
filled by the lieutenant governor.

ASKS FOR
A DIVORCE

Drunkenness is the main disturbing
element that has broken up the home
of Herbert Owen Sullivan and his wife,
Luetta Sullivan. Mrs. sullivan today
commenced action in the superior court
to secure a divorce from her husband
on the grounds of drunkenness, cruelty
and non-support.
The complaint states that the couple
were married at Council Bluffs, iowa,
In 1892, and that shortly afterwards
her husband became an habitual drum
kanrd. Ohm account of his drunken
ness he has not been able to support
his family as he should and has squan-
dered the resources of the family in
drink. He has been incapacitated for
most of the time, the complaint
states, from attending to his business.
Mrs. Sullivan states that while under
the influence of liquor her husband il
violent, quarrelsome and a menace to
her safety. She then goes on to state
some Of his acts of cruelty. In De-
cember, 1908, her husband attacked
her and beat her. She claims that the
assault was without provocation. Her
bic did not fight fair in this this OF
in his later battles. He kicked her.
A short time after the assault he REF
peated his action during the same
month. This time he was not content
with beating her, she states, but grab
bed her by the throat and ehoked her.
During the trouble her husband kick
de panel out of the door. She does
not state whether the panel was kick
ed in an endeavor to kick her or
whether Herbert vented his spleen on
the door. 1
In January last her husband again
attacked her, she states. This time he
choked her again and pinched her,
bruising her badly on her limbs His
actions have been such, she states,
that she has been forced to seuarate
from him. This she did on account OF
her fear of bodily harm.
For the last four months the defend
ant has not contributed to her support
in any way and has forced her to get
along as she best could by her own
efforts. She asks the court for a re-
straining order to prevent her hus
band from carrying away her child and
to prevent him from abusing her. She
asks for divorce and the custody
of her daughter.
