WIFE ASKS SHARE
NEW MOVE. MADE IN THE GULL
 BERG CASE.
She Asks tO Become a Party to the PFoceedinga to Secure Ex.
 eraptfpns Allowed by Lew.

Attorneys for Mrs. H. Cullberc against whose husband a petition In bankruptcy was filed some days aga by hts creditors. yesterday filed a ne. titicn asking that Mrs. CulIberk be al. lowed to become a party to the pro. ceedlngs and claiming exemption al. lowed by the law to the husband.
 This is new wrinkle, and will be bitterly contested in the court, it is claimed It is the first case which has ever come to the attention of the judge In this court and when decided will establish q very important precedent. The matter will not be passed upon by the Judge for at least thirty days, it is said.
 It is said that the disappearance of the husband sets aside ali claims which his wife may have in the matter. but attorneys for Mrs. Cu1lberg take A very different view of the matter,
 The Volunteer Carriage Company of Nashville, Tenn, yesterday filed a peti. tion for the reclamation of certain buggles sold to Cullherg short while ago. Judge Jones made the order that the receiver, appointed some time ago to conduct the business until a settle tnent could be made, deliver the bug gtes asked for in the petition and ap- pointed A. c. Stratton as special mas ter.
 On the petition filed by the I,oah Carriage and Supply Company for tbe reclamation of certain goods sold to Cullberg recently, the Judge ordered that the goods be turned over to them by the receiver.
 The case will now rest in the hands of the Judge to determine on the neti tion filed by Mrs. Cullberg.
