The NEXT HORSE SALE.

held by Morris Williams & Co., Tuesday
and Wednesday, April II and 13. This
sale will be by all odds the biggest sale
of the year. 1t will be held in front of
the old Platt barn. Mr.. Beckley. of Mem
phis, Mo-, will be auctioneer and Mr.. Lee
Fleener, Of Hedrick. one of the best ring
men in the state, will assist Mr. Beckley
in the ring. Sale will begin promptly at
10 a. m. and continue during the two days.
Horses will be settled for in cash as soon
as tested. On Tuesday afternoon we will
devote our time to the sale Of high class
roadstcrs and speed horses If you have
one to sell or If you wish to buy driver
or a team be on hand Tuesday afternoon.
There is a little explanation / will have
to make in connection with this sale.
Some several days after we had gotten
out our bills advertising this sale Mr.. L..
A. Meeker, from Hedrick, got out some
bills advertising n sale in Ottumwa on the
same dates. OF course, this isn't business
and l dislike very much to be mixed up
in the affair, but I guess his effort will
cause no serious harm after the public
once understands where our sale will be.
In one point Mr. Meeker has certainly
acted unfairly. He has connected the name
of L. r. Fleener with his sale, whereas
Mr.. Fleener assures me he is connected
with 1t in no manner whatever; that he
expects to sell his horses in our sale and
will act as principal ring salesman. we
will sell absolutely all the punched horses,
and that means practically all the horses
which will be here. OF course two sales
cannot run at the same time and the buy
ers will be where the most of the horses
are.
All you will have to do to make sure you
are listing your horse in the real sale is to
see that the name Williams Co. is on
the listing tags. Charges, SOC for listing;
o IA II -, - II 11to IL
During the noon hour Tuesday. while the
shippers are getting their lunch, we will
sell a number of brood mares, young stock
and stock not in condition for the market
Some of these will be sold on time, pur
chaser giving note with approved security
Farmers or others wanting something for
their own Use vii find this a good oppor
tunity to get what they want and get time
on 1t If they wish it.
Don't forget the place, In front of Platt
barn.

LITTLE CHILD A WIFE
GIRL OF II YEARS FILES A PETI-
TON FOR A d.
VoRcE.

4 Washington, Iowa, April 8. - Gertie
Trusty filed petition in the district
court yesterday for the annulment of
her marriage to John a. Leeper. Gertie
is now IL years of age and 1t is claimed
that her husband is about 60 years of
age. The petition states that the
couple were married in LaClede coun-
ty, Missouri, on or apout October 5,
1902, and that the couple lived together
as man and wife until about the first
day Of March, 1904 The child wife
was 8 years of age at the time she was
married and she stated to a newspaper
representative when seen yesterday
that she was forced to marry her step
father. The couple lived together in
Missouri until few months ago, when
Mr.. Leeper came to this state and is
now living with his son near Brighton.
He sent back for his child wife who
had been left behind, and she was ship
ped up to him.
Threatened With Harm.
About the first day of last March Mr..
Leeper took his little wife to the home
of Mrs. Anna R. Crandall and when the
time came for the little girl to return to
her husband she expressed a strong de-
Sire to remain at the Crandall home.
Mrs. Crandall kept her and desires so
to do in the future but 1t is alleged
that the husband, John Leeper has
threatened the child wife bodily harm,
Imprisonment, ETC., and the action is
brought to give the child her freedom.
Judge Scott has Issued an order of in
junction restraining MIR. Leeper from
having anything to do with his young
wife and the trial will come up in the
September term of court. The petition
begs that the plaintiff be allowed 5000
temporary alimony from the estate of
her husband and that her marriage
be declared null and void and that she
be permitted to retain her maiden
name, Gertie Trusty. The little girl
is very emphatic in her desire to be-
come free and states that she wants
to use her maiden name. She is small,
not large for her age, and it appears
that she would be much better off go
ing TO school and romping about with
children of her own age than carrying
the burden of household duties and
posing as a woman.
