Britt, March s.--The News OF this
place has had the distinction of pub
fishing an original notice the like OF
which has never appeared in any other
newspaper in the state, being the no.
tice of divorce proceedings brought
by Mrs. May Pond Fong Tin against
F'ong Tin.
Mrs. Fong Tin was brought to AM
erica when she was only IL years old
and was educated in a missionary
school, She finally drifted to Vinton,
this state, and there married Fong Tin,
a laundryman of that place. The mar
riage was what is termed a common
law marriage and the ceremony was
according to the Chinese custom, with
out license. They came from Vinton
to Britt about eight years ago and lived
peacefully together until about four
year ago when Fling Tin sold his laun-
dry to another Chinaman and. accord
ing to the Chinese custom, also bar
gained to sell his wife. When the pur-
chaser tried to enforce the bargain
Mrs. Fong Tin objected. and wnen the
citizens of Britt were informed of the
situation and learned the particulars
the Chinaman was glad to get out OF
town, with a sore head and was lucky
! to have Jared no worse. Mrs Fong
Tin has since conducted the business,
and her husband has never returned.
In order to protect her property and
to make transfers if she DESIRED, Mrs
Fong Tin made application for a di-
vorce. The decree was granted and
Mrs. Fong Tin will now drop the Tin
and hereafter be known as Miss May
Pond Fong. She is an intelligent, in
dustrious, little woman; is a christian
and is trying to conform to American
ways.

night. The man with the greater part
Ssof the money, about $4,000, was not
captured, and is believed to have made
= his escape on the horse stolen from
Farmer williams
A posse of forty men, headed by
i Sheriff M. ]. Hennessey, made the
capture OF the two men. The men
We're tracked across the river, then
out along the Illinois Central right of
way. About 5 O'clock the bandits were
located on the farm of John Starbird,
near the fair grounds. a mile out of
town. The large barn on the place
was surrounded and after short
search two men were taken into GUS
tody. A sack containing $50 was found
in the hay NOW, where the men had
been hiding.
Both men refused to talk One Is
about 25, years old and the other near
the age Of 50 years. They are roughly
dressed and give the appearance OF
desperate characters. Their clothing
was torn and covered with mud, show
ing a recent tramp across the country.
All efforts to make them confess to any
crime proved unavailing, however.
The third man, who is supposed to
have the money, has not been captured.
A large posse OF determined men are
after him and it Is thought he is in
hiding near here. 1t is evident that
the third robber was well acquainted
with the locality, as when the trio
started across the river they cut thru
cornfield which is in such an out of
the way place that only person fa-
miliar with the Sneighborhoods couli
find it.
Ten days ago several suspicious
characters were. seen here in town.
Later one OF them went to the bank
at Masonville and had some silver
changed into smaller pieces. It is
not known whether they are the same
people or not, but the partial identif
cation of one of the men as the party
who had the dollar changed was made
by a citizen Of Masonville.

Mrs Woodwork spoke after the ar
rival of neighbor was that she had
drank the lemonade and that 1t had
tasted, "Oh. SO bitter" The attending
physician said the symptoms were OF
