New Cases Filed.
A petition for divorce on grounds
of adultery has been filed in the dis
trict court by Fred McVey vs.. his
wife, Mrs. Iona McVey, who were
married in this county in May, 1906.
Constable Geo. Andrews and Lewis
Bros, James and Pete Lewis, have
been made defendants to an action
brought in the district court by Otis
Taylor, farmer residing in Adams
township, to recover damages to the
amount of $500. The plaintiff in his
petition states for his cause of ac-
ton, that on December 8, 1907, while
he was engaged in holding public
sale the defendant, Geo. Andrews,
constable, came to his home to seize
two bay mares which he claimed un-
der the terms OF a chattel mortgage,
admitted to have been made between
the plaintiff and the defendant Lewis
Bros, on Feb. IS, 1907, but which II
is alleged had been paid long since.
The petition states that the defendant
Andrews well knew that the mortgage
had been satisfied, and also that the
plaintiff told him at the time he came
to seize the animals that the plain.
tiff was not then indebted to any OF
the defendants and that he had not
been indebted to any of them for a
period of nearly year at that time.
But In spite OF the alleged protests
and explanations the petition states
that Mr. Andrews seized the two
mares and brought them to 0skaloosa
where he lodged them in livery sta
bile for five days while he posted a
notice offering them for sale at pub
lie auction. Because of the trouble
and inconvenience borne by the
Iplaintiff as the result OF the seizure
Of the mares and because of having
been deprived of their work for five
days, as well as other damages sus
tanned therefrom, the plaintiff asks
the court to grant him a judgment
against the defendants for the sum oil
$500 and the costs of the suit
