HOPE YOU DIE
CHRISTMAS CHEER AS IT WAS IN
SCHAFFER HOME AS DESCRIBED
BY MRS. SCHAFFER.

Mrs. Ida Schaffer, by her attorney
Henry Hogan, this morning filed a
sensational suit for divorce from Al
bert Schaffer. The complaint reeks
with profanity and with accusations
of drunkenness and brutality. Schaf-
fer is accused of making all sorts of
rough houses at his home until his
wife and children hid under the beds
when he was around.
The complaint says that the marriage
took place in April, 1902, and that there
are tour children the eldest 16 years
of age and the youngest eight years
old. Soon after the marriage the
cruelty is alleged to have begun. \
long list of vile names which the de-
PENDANT is alleged to have called his
wife Is given, and it is set forth that
i'm August 1903 Schaeffer was convict
ed of larceny and had to work as a
prisoner on public parks, greatly To
the mental anguish of his wife. After
his term as a prisoner was over he
frequently came home drunk, it is
stated, and threw stones at his family
on the street. They sometimes hid
under the bed when he got extra live
ly, and finally they had to leave the
house. In fact he came home drunk
every pay day, says Mrs. Schaffer, and
she had a warm time lodging the
things he threw at her. Among them
on one occasion was a bottle of beer
half full.
In September, 1904, he chased her
with big guava stick in his hand and
at Christmas time he came home drunk
again, bringing the family food. Eat
and I hope you will all die" was his
Merry Christmas greeting, says the
complaint, and he frequently remarked
that he could live without his wife and
could get along fine without any
family. He apparently had a habit
of calling his wife and children the
vilest Of names in public, and Mrs.
Schaeffer finally says she is afraid he
will do some violence to her.
After all these allegations the COM
plant sets forth that Schaffer is not a
proper person to have the care and
cutsOdy of the children.
Judge Robinson signed an order pre-
sented by Hogan, restraining the libel
lee from breaking the peace about his
home, and commanding him to appear
in court on September IA and show
cause If any why he should not pay
alimony pendente lite. The complaint
says he is a rough carpenter and makes
SIS or $50 per month.

TITLE FROM THE KING

Findings of the examiners in the land
court have been filed in the case of the
application of Libana de Nobriga for
title to a piece of land at Punchbowl
and Luso streets 1t appears that the
title is based upon a deed from King
Kamehameha third or fourth, but that
no record of such deed can be found.
The examiners report says that it APP
pears probable that such deed was
made prior to November, 1856 Judge
Lindsay in his decision says that there
is prima facie evidence of such a deed
which is strong enough to entitle the
petitioner to a decree of title, after no
tice to the Territory as a possible
claimant.

of the state held here during fair week
in order to give the greatest number of
Kansas club women an opportunity to
