Lawrenceburg, I4d.-One Of the odd
b est divorce cases ever tried in this coun-
try was recently decided by Judge
George E. Downey in this county.
The principals in this strange case
were aged IS and go years, respectively,
the man being the senior. The couple
were married 81 years ago, but though
thsy had lived together constantly all
of that time, and had raised family of
six children, they had not spoken to
each other for 81 years. .u. s..-...-. ..
Such is the peculiar ending OF the
romance of Uncle Ham and Aunt Julia
Grubbs.
The neighbors who hoped the breach
of 81 years would be healed by time are
more than disappointed. Aunt Julia
Grubbs has secured her divorce from her
husband. Uncle Hamilton Grubbs, and
$4,000 alimony, and has left forever the
family home in which she lived for 81
years. They qlarreled in 1884; from
that day to this they have never ex-
changed a word, though they have &C.
cupied the same house and have eaten
three times a day at the same table.
Now5it is too late to make up. So :
,s.e2 The Romance. 80 54s.;.
Forty years ago everybody in Moore's
Hill district knew that Ham" Grubbs
was sweet on "Jule" Harris. He was a
likely young farmer then and a good
catch, and Julia. Harris was the prettiest
girl in the county. Ham" courted
sJuie" and he distanced all the other
young fellows in the district and mar
ried the girl on May q, 1868. -.
1t was a jolly wedding and the coun-
try folks came from miles around to help
the happy pair to celebrate. Rev. Ben
jamin Plummer, one OF the old-time
clergymen Of the Methodist Episcopal
church in southeastern Indiana, tied the
knot and wished the: young couple
happiness, long life and prosperity.
They have had the long life and prosper
ity all right, but hardly the happiness,
though six children have blessed the
union and never 2 death has lessened
the home circle. ,y.,S j

as he came to be known throughout
Miller township, was hard worker and
a mighty smart farmer. Gradually he
Increased his holdings until he was the
owner of 10 of the best acres In all the

wooED HIS OWN DAUGHTER
Just Before Wedding Was to Take
Place Swiss Discovered Her
..s$ Identity.

Geneva, Switzerland.-A remarkable
love tragedy has come to light in the viii
lage Of Appenzell, which for unique fea-
lures is hard to duplicate.
Nearly 20 years ago a young Swiss
commercial traveller named Mueller de-
serted his wife and infant daughter and
emigrated to Mexico, where he succeed
ed in amassing a considerable fortune.
His wife died, and the little girl was
adopted by farmer named schloss.
The child assumed his name and was
generally regarded in the district as the
farmers own daughter.
A year ago her father, who called him
self Ilfelder after leaving his native
country, sold out his business in Mex
leo and returned to Appenzell. He was
informed, and naturally believed, that
both his wife and child were dead.
Later, he met his daughter, and, ignor-
ant Of her.identity, fell in love with her.
She is now nearly 20 years old, while
he is Al. IL
For four months the returned wan"
derer wooed the girl with her consent.
It was only when he asked the approval
of Farmer schloss that he learned the
girls history, and recognized that he
had won the hand of his own daughter.
Rushing from the house, he Travelled
at once to Bale, whence he wrote to the
farmer, confessing everything, and
placing SIS, 1000 to the girls credit in .
Zurich bank. Nothing more has been
heard Of him, and his daughter is heart
broken. ssfk4t : s.s.e e..

For Is years everything ran on
smoothly enough. The years brought
more prosperity and more children, un-
til in 1884 little Ella, last Of the dock,
was born. And she was still in her
mothers arms when the trouble came.

some other night would do Just as well.
The work Of the Commission was near
ing an end and there was still consid-
cradle time In which to finish up mat
tiers. The Chair and the Secretary,
working together as a special commit
tee, could arrive at a conclusion as to
the bill to be presented to the Legis-
lature. This bill could be reported to
the Commission at its next meeting for
approval or otherwise. Commissioner
Watson saw no reason for deferring
discussion; he was ready to proceed at
once and abide by the decision of the
majority on a bill to 90 to the Legis-
lature.
Commissioner Fernandez supported
Commissioner Stewards motion. He
proposed that Tuesday next be the
night Of meeting. The matter of the
special committee was put to vote.
Commissioners Crabbe. Fernandez and
Stewart voted for the Stewart plan and
the motion was carried. Commissioner
"dtSoh Nottu dBdihSt tut
Chair did not express any opinion on
the matter.
Following the settlement Of this
point, Commissioner Stewart said :
There seems to have been discus
sion among certain Legislators in re-
gard to fee for the members of this
Commission, or for members who have
been at work especially, including my
self, of course, upon the drafts we
have under consideration. The matter
was brought to my attention by mem.
Der Of the Senate, also by other men,
bers OF the Legislature. | do not want
to mention any names, and the feel
ing seems to be that In recognition
of our services we should be allowed q
fee. Now l wish to say, and to go on
record as saying that l undertook the
work without pay, as provided in the
creating Act and consider that 1t
would be improper for me either to
suggest or to receive any fee for any
work that have performed.
II realize that am In the midst OF
depressed financial conditions and no
one would welcome a fee from any
legitimate source more readily than
would; but, as | have already said,
do not feel that, under these circum-
stances. 1t would be right for me to
suggest or to receive anything in the
way of remuneration"
Commissioner Watson asked II the
next meeting Of the Commission would
be final. The general sentiment seem.
ed 10 be that 1t would not necessarily
be final. Watson seemed to be i'm.
patient for termination. Commits.
sioner Crabbe was anxious that some.
thing definite be accomplished soon.
Commissioner Fernandez favored re,
duction Of the salaries OF County Off.
GERS pretty near all the way down the
line. The matter of Deputy Sheriffs
! prosecuting cases was discussed, the
majority believing that II was not vel
that men making arrests should have
the prosecution In their hands. Stew.
art said that he had talked with the
! Attorney General on the subject ant
that officer did not think It advisable
that arresting officers should hav,
charge of the prosecution Of men ar,

likely to lead to corruption.

Early Rlaora

A student of bird life, who has been
investigating the question as to the
hour In summer when the commonest
small birds wake up and begin to sing,
says that the greendnch is the earliest
riser. a. 1t sings about 30 o'clock In
the morning. The blackcap begins at
2:SO and the quail half an hour later.
1t IL nearly 4 o'clock. and thes un is
well up, before the first real songster
appsars-the merry blackbird. Then
comes the thrush. followed by the rob-
in and the wren; and last the house
sparrow and the tomtit.
Thus 1t will be seen that the lark's
reputation as an early riser Is not de-
served. In fact, he Is a very sluggard,
for he does not rise until long after
many hedgerow birds have been about
for some time.
