Bishop of Sioux City Invokes
Courts to Discipline a Recre-
ant Pastor.
Special to The journal.

npecI6I 20 A0o JOu1A64s .al.ta. III 'E
Sioux City, Iowa, July 14.-Rev. P.
J: Garrigan, bishop Of sioux City, last
night obtained from Judge Oliver from
the district court an injunction re-
straining Rev. Francis Wrenn, pastor
Of the North Fonda, Iowa, Catholic
church, from holding services in his
church tomorrow. 'Es '-@
The injunction made it known for
the first time that Frather Wrenn had
been convicted at church trial. The
priest, however, refused to abide by
the decision Of the church tribunal and
his defiant attitude in refusing to turn
over the church property compelled the
bishop to. resort to the, civil courts,
much as he regretted to do so. It
was apparently his only. way Of pre-
venting the priest, who had been sus-
pended and deprived of his powers,
from administering the sacraments Of
the church.. r.
The charges brought against Father
Wrenn are secret and will be. kept
SO. It was planned to allow him to
leave his parish without publicity
The only known charge against him
is that he was seen talking on Sioux
City's streets with two women wear
ing, peek-a-boo waists and openwork
hosiery. -

Riot on Train Causes Young Man to

Des .Moines, Dec. 26.-Pursued by a
drunken man brandishing a knife,
Wright Spencer who had boarded the
Wabash train here Monday evening,
was chased off the train near Adelphi,
the fall resulting in his death.
A party of roisterers had taken the
passenger train at Des Moines. and
ugly from much whisky commenced a
rough house" as soon as the train
pulled out In vain the brakeman tried
to quell the riot of flying TASKS and
blows, and tho he did restore order for
a few minutes it broke out anew again
at once. The man who met his death
is sad to have been the aggressor in an
alteration with the one who pulled the
knife and to have struck him several
times. The latter pursued him to the
vestibule, where a sudden lurch threw
Spencer out. From Adelphi a party was
sent back and the body picked up. Sew
eral bones We're broken and it was evil
dent that death had been quick.
Coroner Beck was notified by phone
next morning. but notified them to send
for local justice of the peace. The
name of the man who chased Spencer
could not be learned nor whether he
has been taken into custody.

W. c. FRY SEEKS DIVORCE.
Iowa Center Man Claims Wife Enjoy:
Society of Other Men.


Nevada, Dec. 26.-Too much OF a
fondness for other men is the reason
why w. c. Fry of Iowa Center sets
forth as the reason why he: should be
awarded decree of divorce from his
wife, Edna. They We're married back
in 1901, but lived together but a cou-
pie of years, when they separated. They
afterwards decided to try it again and
managed to live in state of matri-
monial tranquility until last year when,
it is claimed by the husband, the sea
again began to become stormy and
turbulent and he was no longer able
to live with her He says that she
has a fondness for the society of other
men to a degree that makes married
life unpleasant for him. He mentions
the names of Iowa Center men, whom.
he alleges, are on too intimate terms
with the wife to suit him.
In her answer, which her attorney
has filed with the clerk of courts. she
sets out that the husband has failed
to provide for her to the extent that
she has been compelled to leave his
bed and board and go out into the
wide, wide world and do housework, in
order that she may be properly cloth
ed and keep the wolf from the door.
The case will come up at the January
term of the district court.

Boone was the nearest town then

made to haul it there, a distance Of
forty miles, and place it aboard fiat

down every bridge between Fort Dodge

DR.. Charles Mccullough, farmer and
physician who lives in Buckingham
