for week looking over the country.

LONG MARRIED;
SEEKS DIVORCE
After Living With White n Years
Wife Has Had Enough. Live
Near Olathe.

Mary. F. White, wife of L. w. White
of near Olathe, filed suit Saturday for
absolute divorce. Bell, Catlin & Blake
are attorneys for Mrs. White.
The couple were married in this coun-
ty September 25, 1885, says the Mont
rose Press. They have six children:
Mrs. Ella Foster, 81 years old; Benja-
min, aged IS; Willie, II; Joseph, 6;
Nora, 16; and Pauline, 6 months old.
Mrs. White in her complaint alleges
long series of cruelties, beginning IN
1891 when her husband is alleged to
have beat and cursed her and told his
wife that he hoped she would drop
dead. Again in 1903 while the family
were living at Telluride, says the wife,
White put her out of the house one
night and compelled her to remain out
side all night. The eliminating act of
cruelty on Whites part was committed,
so the complaint says, on the 18th of
this month, when White drove his wife
and her daughter, Mrs. Foster, out of
the house and compelled them to walk
four miles to Olathe. The complaint
says that White would not even allow
the women to secure their hats, but
drove them away bareheaded.
Mrs. White says that her husband
and herself are possessed of property
owned jointly by them and that White
has threatened to sell the same. She
asks the court for an injunction re-
straining White from disposing Of any
of the property except by order of
court
The plaintiff has served notice that
she will appear before Judge Shackle-
ford in chambers at Gunnison on July
25, at which time the matter of tempo
rary alimony and injunction will be
taken up.
Mrs. White asks for custody of the
children, IS for suit money, $50 at
torney fees, and $50 month temporary
alimony. She also asks for s., 600 per-
manent alimony and fair division of
the property,
Notice of the suit was served on
White last Friday by Deputy Sheriff A.
J. Baxter, of Olathe. Whites reply
has not been filed.

Haywood Acquitted.

VIM. D. Haywood has been acquitted
of the charge of numbering ex-Gov.
Steunenberg of Idaho. The verdict
meets with general favor. Under
Judge Woods Interpretation of the law
it was necessary to convict the accused
on evidence entirely apart from the
confession of Harry Orchard. The
prosecutions case was not convincing
beyond a doubt" with the Orchard
confession removed from consideration.
President Meyer has been released
from Jail under $25, 900 bonds and Pet.
tibone's trial set for the first OF
October.
Haywood had fair and impartial
trial. Clarence Darrow, the Chicago
socialist attorney, admitted that the
court and prosecutors had been emf.
nently fair. E. F. Richardson, the
other leading attorney for the defense.
said: 1--WE have had fair trial and
Idaho indeed may be proud of herself. "
This is in marked contrast with the ac-
cusations of local socialist paper
which has claimed ali along that every
thing had been fixed in advance to
convict the defendant.
ORCHARDS COMMENT.
When told that Haywood had beer
acquitted Orchard said:
"Well, have done my duty. could
do no more. am ready to take any
punishment that may be meted out to
me for the crimes and the sooner the
better

wood issued an authorized statement of

lief l expressed when first arrested,
that is: That with fair trial and an
