URGENT WRIT IN
DIVORCE SUIT IS
SERVED ON bON|

Paris, Feb. 16.-An urgent writ today
was served upon Count Boni De Castel-
lane making him defendant in the separa-
ton proceedings Of his wife, formerly
Anna Gould. This decisive step was taken
after renewed efforts TO effect recon
ciliation had proved fruitless.
The count accepted service OF writ. even
calling upon the countess lawyers to
facilitate fixing upon place where the
writ could be delivered. The bill of com
plant was filed at the same time
IL follows very closely the countess
prima facie, showing when she first asked
the courts permission 10 take action
against her husband ii contains no
names. but particularizes certain Incl
dents in which the count is alleged 10
have participated, and II asks for "A de-
cree for what the French law terms "A
separation Of body and property" mean
ing complete material separation without
n dissolution OF the bonds Of matrimony.
The court holds the bill of complaint
I'm the strictest secrecy. but the foregoing
are the essential features of it's contents.
IL can be stated with absolute positive
ness now that the countess has formally
inaugurated her action that IL is her in
tention to secure q decree at the earliest
date possible. The count will not con-
test the granting Of a decree.

FARMERS CLASS
AUTO|STS As
HORSE THIEVES

Chicago. Feb. 16-To secure revenge for
the deaths caused by reckless automo-
0ilists going To and from Chicago
through Lake county, Ind. last year and
to protect themselves during this year,
the farmers of that district have banded
themselves into what they call "the Lake
County Protective assstiation."
The original intention OF the association
was to rid the county OF horse thieves.
and by extending their plans To include
automobiles they have classed the latter
with horse thieves. and say they will
treat reckless chauffeurs as such. The
association at meeting last night voted
to secure the arrest OF any person in
charge OF a motor vehicle who violates
the speed law.
The association will post guards along
the highway used by auto scorchers and
plans TO deal harshly with them. Four
persons were Killed along those roads last
summer by speeding automobiles. and
many persons were injured.
