Nevada. Jan After married life
of over half century Ed Crippen OF
this city has resorted to the divorce
icourt To settle a cloud of trouble. which
he alleges has been gradually settling
over his household for the past year or
so. The couple were married back in
York state over fifty years ago and
have raised large family OF childrs Il,
all of whom are married and have
families of their own. with the eXcep-
ton of the youngest son John who ts
over Sc years of age and still making
his home with the old folks. The father
alleges in his petition that this son has
formed a dislike for him In his old
days and repeatedly assaults and
abuses him. in which action he is en-
eouraged by the mother. This abuse,
me claims. has baen continued until 1t
has become impossible for him to long
er live with the wife. whom he AYERS is
also guilty of many assaults and other
personal abuses against the father, who
is an aged man and badly crippled up
by injuries received in his eoun.ry's
service duiing the civil war.
These abuses reached n climax, he
states, when on Christmas last ne was
attacked by the son aiHl beaten up to
an extent that his life is even now
threatened and he ts still under the
care of a physician. He asks the court
TO grant him a share of the homestead
In this city, which is valued at about
500. as partial means Of support. as
he is too feeble to work to support
himself.
The trouble that occurred on Christ
mas was aired in the Justice court here
last week. when the father had the son
arrested for assault. The young man
was found guilty. but took an appeal
to the district court. Since that time

Is feared that he will never fully re-
