ESTELLA B. LBSTG NOT GUILTY
HER HUSBAND DEEED DTVoRcE AT
TRIAL ~ DEETKR
Mr. and Ms Lustig Once Lived in Good
Iand-CrueIty and Desertion Hus-
bands Plea-Both Parties
Cleared By Verdict

The jury in the Lustig divorce case IN
Denver Tuesday returned verdict find
ing Mrs. Estella B. Lustig not guilty Of
the charges made against her by Joseph
Lustig, her husband. The charges were
cruelty and desertiOn, and the desertion
consisted in placing Mr. Lustig's clothes
and things out on the back porch and
locking the back door Of the house.
Mr. and Mrs. Lustig lived in Good
land several years, and before Mr.. Lus-
tg was promoted about i've years ago
TO passenger conductor on the Rock Is
land between Denver and Phnlipsburg,
he was conductor in the freight service
out Of GOOdland.
Mr.. Lustig in his original complaint
charged his wife with desertion by fore
ing him by might and main TO leave
the home, at 1924 Grove street. Mr..
Lustig said that on several occasions he
went away from home, and when he re-
turned he found his clothes piled up
into a neat little bundle lying on the
back porch. When he tried the doors
Of his house they were bolted and
barred. This occurred so often that the
husband finally moved the little bundle
from the back porch and took It down
to the Windsor hotel.
Mr.. Lustig further said that his life
became unbearable at home because of
the frequent charges made against him
by his wife that he had been guilty of
in6delity. Mrs. Lustig is portrayed in
the complaint as a woman of jealous,
sullen disposition. She had him arrest
ed August IS, 1902, for non-support.
Mrs. Lustig alleges that her husband
attempted to force her to secure a di-
vOrce and the Handley woman also
wanted her to secure a divorce from
Mr.. Lustig. Lustig, she alleges, told
her that he wished she would secure a
divorce as he wanted to marry the
Handley woman.
Various acts OF cruelty and physical
violence are charged against Mr.. Lustig
Mrs. Lustig said that the plaintiff de-
serted her, and that he was guilty of
acts of in6delity with one Mary Hand
ley, who the defendant was forced to
take into her own house as a rOOmer
during the months of May and June,
1902 After the plaintiff left the home
on Grove street, It IS claimed, these
acts Of in6delity were continued.
As to the verdict. a special finding
was made at the request Of attorneys
for both sides. This was to the effect
that both parties were innocent of the
charges Of inideIity which were made
in the Pleadings- The Pugilistic tilt
which took place at the close Of the
case between Attorneys John c Bottom
and B. c billiard was satisfactorily
settled by mutual apologies.

PLAIN CATTLE SUCCESS.
Kansas City Market Down on Medium
But Strong on Choice stun.

Kansas City, No, April 5.-Cattle re-
ceipts at all the markets last week were
liberal and the proportion of beef steers
at Kansas City was large. Light weight
steers sold steady and with fair life,
but plain heavy cattle were sluggish,
and lost IS to Is cents. Best stOckers
and feeders were almost steady, but
medium and common kinds sold lower
Cows and heifers sold fully steady.
There was some improvement in the
general market after Wednesday, and
the market yesterday was strong to 10
cents higher. Run to-day is moderate
for Tuesday, at 10, 900 head, and prices
are strong. Moore good steers are here
than have been offered any day for a
long time, and the demand is good.
Top price is S5.25. There has been
some improvement in the stOcker and
feeder situation this week also. Choice
stOckers sell from 81 to 81. so, but me
dunn to common kinds exhibit some
drag yet. A few days of bright and
warm weather would help prices and
movement in this line very much. Cows
and heifers still hold their own, and sell
better than any other class. Bulls are
about steady, veal calves scarce and
firm.
Hog prices changed very little last
week, although fluctuations were fire.
quent. Market was higher yesterday,
but has lost the advance to-day. Light
hogs now sell within 5 or 10 cents of
heavy weights. Quality of hogs is as
good or better, than at this time last
year, but prices are s. lower. Receipts
at all the markets are running about
20 per cent heavier than a year ago.
Top price to-day S5.25, bulk of sales
$50 to $50.
Sheep and lamb prices are gradually
improving, although still 81 to $50
under a year ago. Wethers and ewes
sell better relatively than lambs or
yearlings. An exceptional bunch of
wethers, 121 head, western, sold at $3.50
yesterday. Ewes sell up to S4.75, lambs
at $5.25 to S5.85, yearlings up to S5.25.

BURTON GETS JAIL SENTENCE.
SIX MONTHS IN IRON COUNTY, NO, JAIL
AND PINE OF q, 500.
TrsmbIed Before Judge Adams Is Sen
tenee Was Being ImPOsed-APPIica-
ton for Appeal and Stay OF Ex-
eeutiOn-Out on Bond.

]. R. Burton, senior senator from
this state, was sentenced Wednesday
afternoon in the United States district
court in St. Louis, to six months i'm
prisonment in the Iron county, Missouri,
Jail at IrontOn and fined 8 500 for
using his official position as senator in
shielding the Rialto Grain and Sec
urities company, of St. Louis, get
rich-quick'' concern, from the postal
authorities.
Senator Burton was convicted IN the
United States district court in St. Louis
on six of seven indictments last week.
His attorneys have entered an applica-
ton for an appeal and stay of execution
and offered a bond for SO, 900, which
was accepted
Senator Burton came into court with
Judge {. H. Krum, his attorney. He
was very nervous and his hands and
limbs shook visibly. In sentencing him
Judge Adams said: The sentence
which impose on you is light in com
ParisOn to the crime you committed;
but because the sentence prevents you
from ever holding public Office again,
believe you will find the penalty
severe enough"
Senator Burton declined to make a
statement when advised by Judge
Adams that if he had anything to say
to do so before the sentence was i'm
posed. He also refused to talk to news
paper men, except to declare that when
he made a statement It would prove
him innocent.
Senator Burton, who is senior SEN
alto from Kansas, was convicted after
an exhaustive trial, in which various
letters from him to the RialtO Grain
and Securities company, the checks
which he received in payment for his
services in behalf of the concern before
the POstOfhce department and the tes-
timOny of numerous agents of the gov
eminent were introduced. Senator Bur
tons defense was that he was acting
merely in the capacity of an attorney
and did not employ his senatorial in
huence in the work.

A. FENDER DEAD.
Pioneer q western Kan.as Taken on By
FneumOnfE-

Pneumonia
A. Fender, who moved to Sherman
county from Lee county, Illinois, seven
teen years ago. died Of pneumonia At
his home one mile and a half northwest
of GOOdland, Friday night at 1910
O'Clock. Rev J. s. Madden, of Hold
en-, No, came here to preach the funer-
al sermon, which was held at the home
Sunday forenoon and burial was
made in the GOOdland cemetery. The
deceased was 81 years Of age.
The attack Of pneumonia which re-
suited in the death of Mr.. Fender had
its beginning in a cold. During the
day of March ., he was doing outdoor
work, and occasionally would complain
Of distress and painful feelings IN his
chest, but did not cease from his labor.
When evening came he told his family
he did not feel well, but did not ex-
Perence any great discomfort from MS
condition, and he thought he would be
able to throw OF the indispOsftiOn. But
the inflammation increased and the fol-
lowing day a high fever set IN and
Dr. Smith was called. Double pneu-
mOnia rapidly developed with varying
fortunes IN the outlook for recovery.
When his lungs had cleared themselves
Of nearly all of the foreign matter and
the fever had gone, It was thought that
the patient would pull through, but the
intense run Of fever had 50 weakened
his bodily forces that death came IN the
attempt to rally.
Mr.. Fender was married in Lee
county, Illinois, in 1856, and Of that
union ten children have been born, and
all are living excepting one. The sur
vfving children were present at the fu-
neral but Ed, who is living in Holden,
Mo. A large number of people were
IN attendance at the funeral despite the
day was rainy and disagreeable-
Mr.. and Mrs. A. Fender came TO
Sherman county in 1887, and have lived
continuously on their farm northwest of
town since that time. Mr.. Fender was
one of the staunch and thrifty farmers
of this county.
The two youngest boys are living on
the farm with their mother. One Of the
daughters of Mr.. and Mrs. Fender was
married several months ago to Mr.. E.
J. Scott, well known to the people Of
this town and county.

lacerated and torn from the bones.
Lustig was given temporary relief BY
Dr. F. H. Smith, who Is railroad sur
geOn al this place, and then he vas
taken to a Colorado Springs hospital
for special treatment. If the wound

thought the foot can be saved.
The accident happened while Lustig
was riding up the coal chute track on
the foot board Of the switch engine. A
pinch bar had been placed under a
wheel Of a box car 50 that the bar was
sianting upward, and as the engine ap-
preached to couple on, the bar struck
the right foot of Lustig on the plantar
surface and was forced through the
flesh Of his foot before he could escape
It. 1t produced an ugly wound. his
foot being PiniOned by the bar to the
platform upon which he was standing
The blood vessels were Of course
ruPtured and the switchman lost a
large quantity of blood. No bones were
broken, and It is thought the foot can
be saved.

in GOOdland- He is a brother of Joseph
Lustig, a passenger conductor.
