THE SHIREY CASE.
Wealthy Husband Sued For Maintenance
By Young Wife.

The transcript in the case of
Fairbell Shirey against A. w.
Shirley for maintenance was filed
in the Supreme Court last week
on appeal from Lawrence county.
Mrs. Shirey's former name was
Hill. She was a poor girl and
not of age when she married
Shirey, many years her senior
and one of the wealthiest citizens
of Lawrence county. According
to the woman's complaint Shirley
is worth S250,000, and she de-
clares that, without knowing its
Importance, she signed a docu-
ment before her marriage, re-.
linquishing her right to any of
his wealth except a small farm
worth $1,000. She was married
to Shirley in 1904. Shortly after
the marriage she declares Shirley
whipped her in the streets Of
Minturn, and later locked her in
room on the second floor Of
their residence and threatened to
kill her. She says she climbed
down over the porch and made
her escape. Later she brought
an action for divorce, but the
suit was dismissed. Then she
brought suit for maintenance.
She asks that Shirey be required
to pay her S175 a month. The
lower court in Lawrence county
gave her a monthly allowance of
S25.

AGED COUPLE WANT DIVORCE.
Chancery Court Gave Both Parties d
Sound Lecture, Instead of Decree.

Texarkana, May PA divorce
case of unusual interest was de-
cided by Chancellor Shaver at
the court house this morning.
The parties to the suit are: M.
Killian, plaintiff, and Mary E.
Killian, defendant and cross
complainant.
The plaintiff, in his petition,
puts his age at 10 years, while in
her cross-bill the defendant con-
fesses 10 having passed 81 sum-
mers. The plaintiff had married
twice before, and both wives died.
The defendant had previously
been married six times, she de-
clares, but had buried only two
of her husbands, having divorced
the other four or been divorced
by them. They are all dead now
however.
The plaintiff and defendant
were married on March IA, 1904,
and lived together for four
months, when they separated.
The husband, on March Is last,
filed suit against his wife for di-
vorce in the Miller Chancery
Court, alleging cruelty and de-
sertion. The wife responded
promptly with an answer and
bill, denying all allegations
of the husband and asking for a
divorce on the grounds of adul-
terry and desertion. She also
asked for alimony in the sum Of
1000, alleging the plaintiff to be
worth" $4,000. He was a fed
eral pensioner of the civil war,
getting S12 per month, and she
also asked for half of this. AS a
result this pension has been tied
up for some time.
Both employed able LAWYERS.
and the contest has been a spirit
ed one. The decision of Cham
cellor Shaver is adverse to both
persons, both petitions being de-
MED with a strong lecture from
the court. The contestants were
both game, however, and both at
once gave notice of appeal to the
Supreme Court.

Washington County OyerIun With Rats.

A Fayetteville paper says:
Washington county is scourged
with rats. They are killing chick
ems by the hundreds and are at
tacking stock, in some instances
their assaults proving fatal. The
towns are overrun by the rodents,
but the greatest injury inflicted
by them is in the country. 1t is
not uncommon for a farmer to
discover in the morning the dead
bodies Of a dozen or more chick
ems. Not. only young chickens
but old setting hens are killed.
On the farm of William Dowell a
yearling got its head caught one
night recently in fence so that
it could not extricate itself. On
the following morning it was
found with its ears partly gnawed
off by rats. =. G. Hutton, one
of the most prominent stock
raisers in Washington county,
reports the loss Of two yearlings.
The animals had beed dehorned,
and at night they were attacked
by hundreds Of rats and tortured
to death. Where these myriads
of rodents came from is a mys-
terry, and how to get rid Of them
is a problem the Washington
county farmers are trying hard
to solve.

STARVED TO DEATH.
Man at Argerta Tried to Live on Ten
Cents Day and Died.
little Rock Democrat.)

NJitJle hocK DefnOcratD
The last chapter in a remark
able struggle against poverty was
concluded Wednesday when A.
S. Roberts, peddler of jewelry,
was buried by the authorities Of
Argenta as a city charge.
Roberts, short of funds, had
tried to live on ten cents day.
He used all this money in buying
ice cream. The man had a theory
that ice cream contained more
nourishment and was better for
him than any other kind of food
and, clinging like a maniac to
this belief, he wasted himself to
mere shadow.
Every morning at 8 o'clock he
would purchase an ice cream
cone for five cents. This served
as breakfast and luncheon. At
6 O'Clock in the evening he would
purchase another cone. This
was h is dinner.
For several weeks Roberts sub
sisted on this one diet. Too weak
to do any work and with only a
few dollars as all his worldly
possessions, he apportioned the
sum so that he could live almost
two months by spending not
more than ten cents any day for
his food,
Monday evening a policeman
noticed him lying under a tree at
Fifth and Orange Streets. The
officer at once notified DR.. Abing-
ton, who gave the man temporary
treatment and had him moved to
the county hospital. He died
there several hours later.
