Marion, Ind, Sept. Il. (Spl0-
Hypnotism or occult power of some
kind, is alleged in one of the most un-
usual divorce complaints ever filed in
the Superior Court
The plaintiff, Olive Heath, does not
claim to be legally married to the de-
PENDANT, Herbert Morehart, and there
fore she caused her maiden name to
be used in the complaint. She alleges
she was married to Henry Cornwell,
when sixteen years old and lived hap
PLY for two years in INLAND, Mich.
until the defendant, Herbert More
hart, came into her life. She alleg-
es she knew she was married to Corn
well, but some occult power compelled
her to go to Gladwin, Mich, where de
PENDANT procured a marriage license
by making an affidavit that she had
lived in the county two years and that
neither of them had ever been mar
ried, thereby committing perjury.
She further alleges they moved
from city TO city and State to State,
that by threats and the peculiar power
he exercised over her, he compelled
her to remain with him for 8 years.
She AYERS that they came to Marion
July &c, 1905, that be remained here
until recently, when he left her for
fear of arrest, he having exerted a
similar power over her youngest Sis
ter, Clara Heath, age eighteen.
The plaintiff asserts that her life for
nine years, has been like a soul in pur
gatory. She said she lived in con-
slant fear that she was Inundated be-
cause of the pretended marriage and
her life with the defendant, but that
she could not free herself from his
influence. She says she is a men
tai and physical wreck as the result.

ALL ANIMALS LIKE A JOKE.
They Pull Tails, Make Faces and
Play Mtschievous Tricks.

A Siamese monkey was being
brought to Europe on u steamer with
several other monkeys, who for some
reason would have nothing to do with
him.
This ostracism exasperated the STA
mese, and whenever he got chance he
would grab one of the others by the
tail, drag him all over the deck and
finally climb into the rigging and drop
his victim with a dull thud
Darwin tells of a female orang ou-
tang that took hold of Il dish in which
her food was served cad put it on her
head as if it it were hat. Thus adorn-
ed she provoked roars of laughter, 20
her evident qualification, from TIE
crowd around her cage.
Another naturalist saw a baboon gel
even with an officer who had often
leased him. Seeing the officer ap-
preaching. the baboon poured some
water into a hole in the ground, mix
Ing it with earth so as TO make mud.
When his enemy came up he splashed
the muddy water on the officers uni
form. For long time after this every
time the animal saw the officer he in
dulged in what had every appearance
of being laughter.
