Claude W. Shinn, of Riverton, has ap,
piled for divorce from his wife, who was
Miss Frances T. Ripperger. Shinn claims
to have had suspicious that his wife was
not acting just as she ought to so he put
detective on her track and now says that
he has discovered enough to warrant the
step he has taken. Mrs. Shinn denies the
allegations against her character and says
the move is merely an attempt, on the
part of her husband, TO get rid OF her.
She claims that when the time arrives she
will make counter-charges that will put
an entirely different aspect on the affair.
The couple have been married but four
years. the wife being fifteen years old
when the ceremony took place. Conse-
quently she is not now able to act on her
own responsibility, being minor, and it
will be necessary for her to have guar
bian appointed in order to appear legally
before the court.
Passengers on a northbound car FROM
Riverton to Riverside on Saturday night
were spectators of free fight which re-
suited in one man being sent to hospital
with three fractured ribs and another be-
ing locked up. The car had arrived at
Riverton at s O'Clock, when William F.
Lannigan got abroad with Miss Catharine
Marter. It is alleged that the conductor,
who is known as Texas Jack" said
something to Miss Marter which Lanni-
gan resented by punching the conductor
The latter responded and before the pas
sengers realized it the two men were pun
melting each other fercely. The motor
man stopped the car, and armed with the
controller, went to the aid of his car mate.
The odds were too much for Lannigan,
who was badly beaten before passengers
interfered Lannigan went to Camden,
where his injuries were treated and the
conductor was arrested.
