More New Suits.

[
September term of circuit court
at Salisbury have been filed
with Circuit Clerk z. T. Lamkin
during the past week as follows:
CIVIL CASES.
Ora Adams vs.. Walter G.
Adams, divorce. Plaintiff states
in her petition that she was
married to defendant in Charlton
county October q, 1902. and
that she continued to live with
him until June 9, 1905, when
she left him because of cruel and
barbarous treatment in that he
frequently cursed, abused. struck
and kicked her and even threat
ened to kill her. Plaintiff also
charges that her husband was
recreant in the discharge of
his duty in supporting her, and
she says that she has been COM
PEELED to furnish the means with
which to support herself and her
husband during the time they
have lived together. There were
no children born of their mar
riage which is displeasing in the
eyes of President Roosevelt, at
least. Plaintiffs maiden name
was Miss Ora Hershey of near
! Guthridge Mills. Besides her
prayer to the court for d divore e;
she also asks that she be restor
ed to the cognomen of her vir.
ginity. Judge o. F. Smith of
Keytesville is Mrs. Adams
attorney.
Alma Dameron VS.. Wabash
Railroad Co., damages. This
is the case growing out of the
killing of Edgar Dameron, COL,
plaintiff 6.year- old boy, by the
train on the Glasgow branch of
the Wabash railway, near Sails
bury, June 80, 1905. Plaintiff
admits in her petition that she
was never married and that Ed.
gar D ameron is her illegitimate
offspring, but she thinks Edgar
was worth SO, 900 to her and she
has brought suit through her
attorney, E. W. Henry of Glas-
gov, for the above sum. 1t will
be remembered by the COURIER
readers that the Dameron boy
was caught on trestle and run
over and killed by the Glasgow
branch Wabash train by IN.
dertaking 20 cross the track
while he and An older brother were
picking berries along the right
of-wav of that railroad the 30sh
of last month. The plaintiff
charges that Edgar's death was
due to the carelessness and
neglect of the crew in charge
of the train and on account of
their failure to ring the bell,
blow the whistle, set the brakes
or give any alarm whatever
whereby Edgar would have been
warned of approaching danger.
Cornelia Smith vs.. Chas. L.
Smith, divorce. According to
plaintiffs petition she was law
fully married to defendant in
Howard county, Mo-, August
21, 1890, and continued to live
with him until May 21, 1905.
For her cause of action Mrs. Smith
charges her husba nd with having
offered her such indignities as to
render her condition in life in
tolerable. She AYERS that he
has been addicted to habitual
drunkenness for more than one
year, and has failed and refused
to provide for and support her;
that she had to support herself
out of her own means and con-
tributed much of her money to
his support during the time they
lived together. Plaintiff COM
plains that when Mr.. Smith was
