SUES A FORMER WIFE
BELOIT MAN WANTS $4,000 DAM
AGES FOR FALSE ARREST.
Action Is Sequel of George H. Clark's
Troubles at Grave of His
Mother-in-L

BELOIT, Wis, Dec. 3.--George II.
Clark of this city has begun suit at
Galesburg, ILL.,, against his former wife,
who is now Mrs. Edith Norton of Chi
cago, for $4,000 damages for false ar
rest. Clark was kind to his first wifes
mother, Mrs. James Tenley of Gales
burg, during her last sickness, and she
left all her property to him, cutting off
Mrs. Norton.
On the day of Mrs. Tenleys funeral,
Mrs. Norton had Clark arrested prac-
tically at the grayeside on charge of
disorderly conduct. Afterward she
amended her complaint to include the
charge of impersonation, holding that
Clark represented himself as Mrs. Ten
ley's son-inlaw, when he was not.
Clark has just been freed on these
charges and has started the suit for
damages. This suit is due to be heard
in February, and at the same time an
other suit of Mrs. Norton against Clark
is scheduled to be heard in the circuit
court at GAINESVILLE. In this action Mrs.
Norton asks an accounting from Clark
regarding certain property he holds that
belonged to her father.

A score or more Of wealthy wheat
farmers living near the village of liardt-

money with which to grade and equip
this railroad. 1t cost them 100000 and
its trains are now hauling their wheat to
market. The railroad has not been
named. 1t Is simply known as the
farmers road

state bank commissioner has despatched
q deputy to the town to investigate. The
farmers who put up 100000 to build
railroad say they are ready to establish
bank with a capital of $4,000,
Hardtner is two miles from the Okla
homa line. Roundabout are the greatest
wheat fields Of the west and a railroad TO
haul the wheat to market was a neces-
atty. The Santa Fe and the Missouri
Pacific run into kiowa, the eastern term

neither would build the line into the
great wheat belt. Now both companies
are dickering with the farmers for the
purchase Of the line and both have Of

Germans Stay at Home.

There is repoicing in Germany over
the fact that according to recent sta
tistics less than 10000 o.nigrants left
the country last year. In the sos the
number of emigrants to the United
States alone was over rather than un-
der a quarter of a million. The rejoic-
ing is we'll founded, since it is evident
that Germany is now so strong econom-
ieally that she can not only support the
annual growth of population but also
give employment to the thousands and
tens of thousands she formerly sent
abroad. The character of the emigra-
tion as we'll as it's numerical amount.
has changed, as the statistics make
