Plaintiff Was Good.

THAT plaintiff never at any time gave
cause for the violent abuse given her
by the defendant, and never at any
time has given cause for the defendant
to be jealous of her.
THAT for more than two years last
past the defendant has almost wholly
failed to provide the plaintiff with the
necessaries Of life, although fully able
to do so; has earned good wages all
the time and enjoyed good health and
is physically able to provide the plain
tiff with all the comforts and necessi-
ties of life.
That plaintiff has been compelled to
support herself by renting out rooms
and doing collecting for merchants and
others in the city of Walla Walla."

Grim was emp !ed at the penitenti-

but resigned his position rather than
obey the behest of Warden KEGS to
work against Senator Ankeny in the
republican primaries.
The complaint alleges:
That defendant has often cursed the
plaintiff and called her vile names and
accused her falsely; that such con-
duct and such accusations We're of al
most daily occurrence. That the de-
fendant is of a very jealous dispo-
sition, and objects to the plaintiff at
tending church, and refuses to allow
her to receive lady friends, as callers
and visitors. The plaintiff was not per-
mitted to go down town to do shopping
and other work necessary to be done
which would take her upon the streets
of the city.

into some deep water as he made his
