the Pittsburg division, pushed past the

HITS HUSBAND WITH TURKEY
Bride Is Angry, and, Because She
Cursed Him, George S. Fos-.
ter Seeks Divorce
Special to The Herald.

PUEBLO, Colo, May 26.-George S.
roster has been a married man but
five months, but if the stories he tells
in a divorce complaint filed in the dis
trict court yesterday are true he has
had crowded in his brief marital career
enough trouble to last most married
men a lifetime
Fosters wedding day was on No
vember IL of last year, when he led
Elizabeth j. Foster to the altar or
more properly speaking, to the bar OF
Justice McKallip's court It is pre-
sumed that the first month of his mar
ried life was happy, as there is moth
ing to the contrary in the divorce
complaint But in the second month
the squalls began.
ON Christmas day, Foster AYERS over
his affldaVit there was company for
dinner and there was a smoking hot
turkey on the table. Suddenly, George
says, without just cause or provoca-
ton, and in the presence of the guests.
his wife took cartful aim and Soaked
him with the turkey, ACCOMMODATING
the stunt with obscene and Violent
language.
And on the same day, George AYERS
with heat, his wife left home and on
the following day returned I'm a very
drunken condition.
on several occasions, he said. his
wife assaulted him with a revolver,
Los Angeles herald., 1906-05-27

Threatening to kill him. And not con-
tent with making gun plays, he
charged, his wife attempted to stab
him with dagger.
Another incident that George dwells
upon in his complaint took place, he
said, on April 1 /of this year. His
wife on that day and date, he vouched,
snatched his watch from his pocket
and struck him in the face with it
with violence.
Just to prove that he was telling the
truth in his charges of cruelty he cited
two instances where his wife was ar
rested, jailed and fined in police court
for. drunkenness and creSting a dis
turbance.
But the thing that hastened Georges
steps to the divorce court happened on
March 81. On that day, George said,
whIe he was away at work his wife
and her daughter entertained several
Japanese drinking and carouslng to
such an extent that the neighbors OBJ
jected.
For all of which George opines that
he is entitled to a decree of divorce
severing the ties that bind him to
Lizzie.

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, May 26.-One of the
queerest sentences ever recorded in
Cook county is that imposed by Judge
Kersten upon Emil Hebys, a painter.
Hebys was accused of stealing $40 from
Charles Knott, his employer. Knott,
instead of prosecuting his former en-
ploye, appeared in court to intercede
for him when the case was called.
Let him go, your honor" said
Knott. "He is good fellow, and did
not mean to take the money, and 1
don't mind 1t anyway. He is good
painter and hard worker, and would
like to have him work for me again."
What do you think, Mr.. Holt?"
asked the court of the assistant states
attorney, who replied that he thought
thirty days in Jail would be about
right"
your honor" said the forgiving
Knott, "he will be through that job in
the jail in two weeks and then I want
him to work for me-"
VERY WELL" said the judge with a
smile. II will give him a chance to
finish the job in the jail and will make
his sentence two weeks"

GOAT MILK SAVES BABY'S LIFE
Weighed but TWO Pounds at Birth and
Did Not Begin to Grow Until
Last Few Months
Speeial to The Herald

Special to The Herald.
SEATTLE, May 26.-That goats
milk, next to mothers milk, is the best
thing for infants C. H. Sandahl is firm
ly convincedd and he has good
chance to study the question. Last
March baby granddaughter came to
Mr.. SandahPs home. The child
weighed but two pounds at birth. The
young mother fingered for seven weeks
and then died.
The doctors and neighbors told Mr..
and Mrs. Sandahl that there was no
hope of saving the life of the infant,
and in five months 1t gained but two
pounds. 1t did not gain an ounce in
weight all last summer, and nearly
prepared foods. AS a last resort Mr..
Sandahl decided to try goats milk.
He bought a couple of goats from the
postmaster at Orting, but before long
they went dry. He got two more from
Oregon and they, too, went dry after
a short while. Then he got a couple
from Hubbard. so that the baby got
plenty Of milk.
The baby now weighs nine pounds
and is beginning to grow nicely. Mr..
Sandahl has six goats, and as they
are now all milking he has more milk
than the baby needs, so he has decided
to sell one. or two of them. He lives
at Thirty-first and Holgate streets, and
several years ago he was one of the
best known truck gardeners in the
city. The way the little motherless
babe has thrived on goats milk is
the wonder of the neighbors and of
the doctors who know about the case,

INVENTOR OF CORSET DEAD
Mrs. Lavina Foy's Invention Made
Her the Richest Woman in

NEW HAVEN, May 26.-Mrs. Lavina
H. Foy, who invented the modern cor
set and became the wealthiest woman
in Connecticut from the golden stream
which poured in upon her as her re-
ward, died here recently SO years old.
Her estate is estimated WORTH about
$2,000,000, and it is believed that prac-
tically all of it will be inherited by her
only son, General George H. Harmon.
Mrs Foy has already given away for
tune for charity, her largest public gift
being the Foy auditorium for this city.
She was known as Madam Foy," and
in her youth was widely known as a
lecturer on health and dress reform.
Her death was unexpected, as she en-
joyed excellent health in spite of her
advanced years. A slight attack of
heart trouble carried her away. Mrs.
Foy was the daughter of the Rev.
Henry jerks of Hudson, N. Y.
Her first husband was Marvin Har-
mon, her second James II. Foy. Two
years ago Yale sophomore, James
H. Hurd. announced his engagement to
Mrs. Foy. He had become acquainted
with her while caring for the furnaces
in the Foy homestead, job given him
to help earn his college education. She
admitted that she loved the young man
and preparations for the wedding We're
begun.
General Harmon, her son, had been
away from home when the love affair
of the student, young enough to be his
son. was started with his mother, but
he ordered the undergraduate out of the
house. Dean Wright of the university
broke up the match by telling the young
man that Yale would not countenance
any such doings and that he would be
expelled if he did not end the match.
So young Hurd withdrew from the field.
