New York statesran to Hs sued fcr
Breach Of Promise.


New York statesman to BE sued for
Breach Of Promise.
Miss Mae Catherine Wood, who was
the conspicuous party Of the third
part two years ago when the aged
Senator T. c. Platt hurried his blush
ing bride, Mrs. Lillian 4. Janeway, to
the altar one Sunday evening in New
York, has decided to sue him for
breach Of promise
It was common report at the time OF
this hasty marriage that its abrupt
ness was due to the threats of Miss
Wood, who claimed to have reason to
expect the senataf to marry herself
If he ever decided to wed again. The
case was settled at the time presum-
ably to the satisfaction of all the par
ties concerned, but now it appears to
have broken out afresh with new
grievance added to 1t.
The firm Of O'Flaherty and Fulton,
reputable lawyers of Richmond, Va,
has been retained in the case, which
involves not only the promise Of mar
rage, but also conspiracy suit
against certain lawyers Of New York
and government officials in Washing
ton.
The Richmond lawyers have many
documents, some signed with Platt's
full name, some ''T. c. p" and some
"P." 1t is alleged these are filled with
endearing expressions. The most in
terestlng letters, however, have not
been turned over to the lawyers, but
are yet in the possession of Miss
Wood. She intends to keep them
until they are made public in court
of law.

Complaint Filed.

A complaint was filed yesterday af
ternoon in department No. Of the cir
cult court Of l.. S. Lamkin against Asa
Simmons. The plaintiff alleges as
cause for the action that in December,
1904, he entered into a contract with
the defendant, whereby the defendant
placed a farm Of l54 acres in the hands
Of plaintiff to sell. At that time it was
agreed that the plaintiff should receive
2h per cent commission on the amount
of the purchase price Of the farm. The
plaintiff sold the place for the sum Of
$693O, and since then has been unable
to recover his commission. He now in
stitutes this action to recover the sum
due, which amounts to $l73,25, and the
costs and disbursements therein.

Improvement az Chemawa.

The Chemawa school is noted for its
beautiful grounds, well kept flower
beds and lawns, and the general air of
cleanliness about the place. The super
intendent Of that institution is now
having the old playground, which is
situated near the dormitories, so con.
structed that it can be used all the
year round. This ground, in the winter,
is always very muddy and disagreeable
to play upon, but a heavy coat Of de-
composed granite is being laid, and this
will do away with the difficulty. II is
being rolled compaetly, and makes an
ideal ground.
