UNIQUE DIVORCE SUIT
Couple Who Have Not Spoken to Each
Other in Two Decades

INDIANAPOLIS, June 16-Hamil-
ton L. Grubbs, IS years old, and his
wife, Julia, aged 70, have not spoken
to each other for p years, although
they have lived under the same roof
all that time, and have eaten at the
same table. Application for divorce
was agreed when their estrangement
began that they should live together
until all their children had become of
age.
The youngest daughter was then an
infant in arms. When the little one
was old enough to walk and talk she
became a sort of messenger between
her parents. She sat between them at
the table, proffering food first to one
and then to the other. When she be-
came older she tried to act as media
tor between the two, seeking with all
the tact at her command to bring about
a reconciliation, but her efforts were in
vain.
Miss Rose, then an infant, is now a
blooming young woman. A short time
ago she decided to leave the parental
home. Thereupon Mrs. Grubbs sued
for a divorce. All the other children
had already left. Mrs. Grubbs' purpose
is to go to Illinois and make her home
with her sons.
A trif1ing incident brought about
their alienation. The couple had lived.
happily together in their little home
for more than a quarter of a century
and six children had been born to them
One day a peddler came along and took
a fancy to flock of geese, which Mr..
Grubbs or Uncle Ham as he was pop
ularly known, had on his farm, and Of
fered a good price for them. Uncle
Ham was in for selling them, but mis-
wife demurred. She wanted the down
for a bed, but Uncle Ham said he did
not like to sleep on feather beds. This
led to chickering's. In the end the geese
were sold.
Then Grubbs and mis- wife repaired
to the sitting room and drew upon
agreement that they would continue to
live together for the sake of their chill
dren, but that no communication
should ever pass between them;
Grubbs to occupy the left side of the
house and his wife the right.

SOCIETY MAN OWNS TO THEFT.
One Esteemed Citizen of Minnesota
Gets Seventeen Sentence

MARSHALLTOWN, Mimi, June Is.
Carlos A. Young, indicted on twelve
counts, charging grand larceny in sew
eral amounts, aggregating $3.50, with
forgery, and with obtaining money I'M
der false pretense, all while secretary
of the Tracy Building & Loan associa
ton, pleaded guilty to grand larceny
in the first degree, on the indictment
numbered ten, charging him with the
larceny of $6O6 from the association
and has been sentenced by Judge We
Der to seven years in the state prison.
Until late last fall Young was a
highly esteemed citizen of Tracy, mad
been prominent in church, society and
public affairs, was an efficient emplOye
of the government in the railway mail
service and held a position of honor
in the association of railway mail

mentioned as candidate for delegate

national republican convention in Chi

Last fall ne disappeared from Tracy
and two weeks later was found at
Mankato, Ill. After his disappearance
an investigation of his accounts with
the Tracy Building & Loan association
discovered a shortage, and as soon as
his recovery permitted he was placed
under arrest, and since last December
has been in the county Jail.
Young admits mis- shortage, but says
he cannot tell what became of the
money and cannot specify any partic-
ular amounts. He appears to have
been careless in his accounts, and says
that while he must have used money
from time to time belonging to the as
ISOLATION, he was overwhelmed upon
making the discovery last fall that
his accounts indicated him to be short
from $4,000 to $4,000.
An action was instituted against mis-
bondsmen to recover the full amount
of mis- deficit, but few weeks ago a
settlement was affected for $4,000.
When found in Mankato, Young was
apparently delirious. He was not
known to have any expensive habits
and says that he spent no money in
that way
The peculiar Indictment to which he
pleaded guilty is the only sum men
toned in any of the indictments to
which he confesses knowledge.

THEY MAY BE REHABILlTATED,
1.-THE OPINION OF PROFESS
SOR J. S. COTTON
Advises Stockmen to Take Care Of
Grass in Early Spring-To Ex-
cIude the Stock.

According to a bulletin on range
ton recently published by Professor
J. S. Cotton, the ranges of the state
have been depleted by overcrowding.
Professor Cotton states, however that
the ranges can be rehabilitated by care
full management and the planting of
certain varieties of forage plants.
1t is recommended that the first step
taken in order that the ranges may be
restored is to have the various hold
ings fenced, SO that the nomadic stock
may be kept off the choice pastures
The policy of leasing lands in the graz
ing sections which was adopted by the
Northern Pacific Railroad company in
1896 was first bitterly opposed by the
Stockton, but it is said that they now
recognize it's wisdom. The Okanogan
ranges will probably last for a num-
Der of years, but on account of the rap
idly increasing population will event
ually be settled up.
Professor Cotton says in his report
that in the true arid region where sage
brush is the prevailing vegetation,
fencing and protecting the lands from
over grazing during the season of the
year when the native forage plants are
70 will in al "
be the only method of restoration.
The spring is the time of the year
when care will have to be taken in the
grazing of these pastures, that being
the time when the young plants begin
to grow The report suggests by ex-
Guiding the stock from certain sections
during this season, and by dividing
the grazing area into two or three pas
lures, SO that during the growing time
the stock can feed upon perennial
shrubs, such as white sage, bitter
brush, mop sage and grease wood, the
spring pastures can be protected.
Alfalfa and Vetch
Experiments made in the grazing re-
gions have shown that alfalfa can be
profitably raised, and that hairy vetcA
may prove of value in range improve
ment. Alfalfa is raised even in the
arid regions. No forage plant is found
that can stand the actual hardship
that the bunch wheat grass, will en-
dure; and these have a nigh feeding
value
Experiments with the forage plants
in the mountain pastures have shown
that timothy, mountain bronze grass,
tall fesque and ordinary bronze grass
are best adapted to the high attitudes.
The main thing that is to be guard
ed against, according to Professor Cot
ton, is overstocking the range.

with a picnic crowd composed of III
employees of the union stock yards, tn,
excursion steamer Sunshine at Broad
Ripple sank in midstream yesterday
afternoon, injuring four persons anC

So far as is known, none was drown

tom of the river around the place
where the accident happened.
Beginning with rush to see hand
some girl in a canoe there was a series
of similarly trivial causes for the ac
cident. The rush to the rail TO see the
fair canOeist caused the steamer to
dip. with the result that the chain at.
tached to the fly-wheeI snapped. This
stopped the paddle wheels.
When a launch arrived to tow the
disabled steamer TO the landing the
eXcursiOnistS again overbalanced it in
their eagerness to see what was going
on.
Both Decks Give Way.
This time the steamer took on water
and began to sink. A panic followed.
The lower deck broke, the upper deck
collapsed, and within three minutes the
picnickers were floundering in the wa
ter.
\ scene of wild confusion followed.
The persons struggling in the water,
many of them frantic from fear. were
calling piteously for help. and strug-
Cling, pulling and tugging at each 9th

for the shore. Others climbed back on
the sinking craft and made their way
to that part of the upper deck which
still remained intact
The boat had gone down by this
time. A part of the upper deck was
about two feet above the water
Crowds HuddIe Upon Sunken Craft.
Upon this a number crowded and
waited till they could be taken off in
boats. Those who could swim aided
their weaker fellows. Boatmen from
the landing rescued a score or more.
The launch which was to have acted
as tug was converted into life saw

were on the river for pleasure took a
hand in the rescue and saved many.
