Charge Divorce to Busy
and Wife at Fremont Seek to
Interesting News Items.

William Schultz and Johanna Schultz,
who were once husband and wife, filed
their petition in the district court at Ere
mont Saturday asking to have the de-
cree by which Johanna was divorced
from William set aside. The petition al
leges that they want to live together
again and Johanna says she would not
have begun suit against William if it had
not been for the meddlesOme acts of
neighbOrs.
William says it was the interference of
his neighbors which caused him to be-
come intoxicated and treat his wife i'll a
way which was not quite right and prop
err. Mrs. Schultz began her first suit
about year ago. Summons was served
and decree granted by default, when it
appeared that the sheriff served the sum-
mons on the wrong William Schultz. The
William who was notified to appear in
the action was living peaceably with Il
wife whose name was not Johanna, and
he paid no attention to the summons,
aside from telling the sheriff that he had
got the wrong man.
When Johanna found out the situate
she filed a motion to set aside the decree
which was granted, and then the sum-
mons was served on the right William,
and at the June term of court another de-
cree was rendered, which is the one both
parties now unite in petitioning the court

William NJ. Stewart, United States
senator from Nevada, is at Kansas City.
Senator Stewart is chairman of the sen.
ate committee Oh Indian affairs, and in
that capacity has been investigating the
land allotments question in the Indian
Territory. In speaking of what he had
learned Senator Stewart said that land
frauds in that territory had grown tc
such proportions that they would have
bad effect in the fight for statehood
''The Indian Territory" he said, SIS in
a lamentable condition. There is no OPP
portunity there for actual settlers. Spec
ulators or land grabbers occupy the en-
tire field. The wealthy half breeds and
the intermarried whites cooperate with
the schemers from the outside who would
appropriate everything in sight with a
view of so complicating matters that
they can prevent the restoration of any
part Of the territory either to the honest
Indians or to the white Settlers

SENATOR HOAR DEAD.
Passing Of Massachusetts, Grand

George Frisbie Hoar senior United
States senator from Massachusetts, died
at his home in Worcester, Mass, at Is

The end followed a period of uncon-
seriousness that had continued since early
Tuesday, and came so gently that only
the attending physicians were aware Of
the exact moment of dissolution.
The attending physicians despaired of
the senator's life six weeks ago, but such

prised and the public was at times led TO

venerable senator sank into a state of CO.
ma from which all efforts to rouse him
proved futile.
George Frisbie Hoar, senior senator
from Massachusetts, had long occupied
peculiar place in public estimation for
his unique personality, his mental
strength, ripe culture, wit and incisive-
ness Of speech; for his subtlety and wis
dom and at times childish disingenuous-
ness; for his sighting estimation of the
methods of politicians; and for his SUI
preme courage in attacking wrongs and
his stalwart pertinacity in his defense of
what to him appeared to be the right.
Few members of the United States sen
ate have sat so firmly in the seat of per
sonal convictions of the right, even when
overwhelmed by the majority, for it new
er troubled him to stand against the en-,
tire body, in himself minority of one,
in following out the line of set principle.
For nearly thirty years he played con-
splcuous parts in great events, chiefly as
a mastery debater, an erudite scholar
and learned jurist, and through them
all he kept himself unsoiled by partisan
politics, and rounded out his activeness
as innocent of certain debasing infiu.
