MRS. MARGARET ROBERTS FILES
AMENDED COMPLAINT IN
DIVORCE SUIT
Now Says That Her Husband Never
Did Love Her and Treated Her
Very Cruelty.

AS If charging that he husband was
that in consequence she had become
inoculated with the same, was not suf-
ficient to secure a decree of divorce,
Margaret M. Roberts, through her at
torney, J. H. Pedigo, yesterday filed
an amended complaint, adding to Mr..
Roberts alleged shortcomings those
of a violent and ungovernable temper,
cruel and inhuman treatment toward
the plaintiff and a lack of affection
and love, that has existed from the
time the marriage ceremony was per-
formed few years ago.
Mrs. Roberts declares that at the
time of their marriage Mr.. Roberts
had no love for her. She also declares
that ner husband has many relatives
in or near Waitsburg, and that he has
allowed them to mistreat her at their
home. One of Mrs. Roberts chief ac-
cusations against her husband is that
he never took her into his confidence
regarding his business affairs and that
in consequence she has been kept in
total ignorance of his property inter-
ests. One specific instance is related
when Mr.. Roberts stated that he had
taken out a life insurance policy on
his life in favor of his wife, when in
reality he had not.
Mr.. Roberts is part owner Of the
Waitsburg Electric Lighting company,
and is one of Waitsburg's prominent
business men. The divorce suit filed
by Mrs. Roberts has been the reign
ing sensation in that town and the
forthcoming trial is expected to result
in some racy testimony.

KITTITAS CAN GROW SUGAR BETS
P. ]. PREM Comments on Conditions at
Ellensburg.

A largely attended meeting of the
club was held Tuesday evening The
feature of the meeting was the talk of
p. J. PREM, sugar beet expert, who
gave much valuable information on the
important subject. The close interest
with which his remarks were listened
to showed that the matter was close to
his hearers. He gave it rs his opinion
that kittitas valley is admirably adapted
TO the growing of the sugar beet and he
showed the various phases of the indus
try, looking at the matter from all
sides. He demonstrated that if indus
try and intelligence are used in the
growing of bcets where the natural con
ditions are favorable good profits are
assucrd.
No special action was taken in the
matter and at the conclusion of his re-
marks the meeting adjourned.-Elens
