to take place in this city In 80 days.
when George Layman will ask for a

Holmes Layman. The circumstances
which surround the separation OF this
young couple are peculiar, inasmuch

cording to their contract, will file suit
for divorce if she remains away 30
days.
The separation occurred on their
fifth wedding anniversary, which was
Monday, after LayGlan had found his
wife and sister-in law driving with two
young men Of this city. whom Layman
made leave the rig and walk to his
home under the cover of a revolver,
After arriving there he compelled them
to sit quietly en- The porch chairs while
he gave them long and severe lee
ture.
Layman. in talking of his trouble,
said: I'VE secured our marriage IL
cense five years ago in Minneapolis,
when we entered into contract by
which we agreed to divorce and the
restoration of Mrs. Layman's maiden
name in case we ever remained sepa'
rated for 80 days. This contract was
made a matter of record, the same as
our marriage applications, and 1 paid
81 to have that contract recorded, but
it was money we'll invested, for can
now get divorce easily, that is, OF
course, If we remain separated for 30

Since the meeting yesterday Of the ex-
scntiye committee of the Republican State
Central Committee, when August IA was
le1ected = the date for holding the State
conyentton, Mr.. George R. Gather has
hee1 much discussed as the candidate of
HI party for Governor.
N. Gather has not indicated that he Is
IN aspirant fer the honor, but he is being
considered seriously by the influences in
the Republican ranks. One of the lead
ing party men In the State said today:
eff Gather desires the nomination, he
can get 1t.
In looking over the field the Republi-
can managers have apparently found no
other man that they regard Is possessing
the nme strength as Mr.. Gather. He is
not . factionist, and therefore has not an
tagsnised himself with any element. His
public record has been such as to commend
him to the Independent voters, and he
possesses both the means and the personal
attributes that are conddred valuable in
picking man to be . candidate for Gov
