MAN FOUND IN
COAL BIN LEADS
TO DIVORCE SUIT
John II. Let's Says He Dis
covered George Connect and
Kicked Him Out.

A rather unusual line of testimony
was developed before Vice-Chancellor
Howell today at a hearing in the di-
vorce proceedings of John H. Let's
against May N. Let's. Let's testified
that he had found an intruder in his
house hiding in the coal bin and had
kicked the man out. The latter was in
court and admitted that the incident
was true.
The petitioner. when placed upon the
stand, said that he was employed as
a stationary engineer for Sayre &
Fischer, the brick manufacturers Of
Sayreville, Somerset county. He went
on to say that he was married Septem-
Der 10, 1898, after Mrs. Newbrand, his
mother-in-law, had forced him to drive
to the home of the Rev. r.. Il. Jeffer-
son, in South River, Middlesex county,
and there marry her daughter.
In the latter part of 1907 and the
early part of 1908 he heard gossip about
his wife.
"On March II, 1905" Let's testified, II
told her l was going to a blowout in
New Brunswick, but instead / came
home about 8 o'clock and found my
house locked up. When I finally got
in my wife acted in a suspicious man.
ner. I decided to investigate and on
doing so 1 found a a George Con-
nett, hiding in the coal bin. / dragged
him out and after showing him to my
%neighbors chased him away l re-
manned in the house with her until
March 80 n then left"
To the utter surprise of the defense
the petitioners counsel placed Connect
on the stand and he c~orroborated the
testimony of Let's in every particular.
Mr.. Woodbridge, Mrs. Letts's counsel,
warned the witness that he might be
arrested ON his return to ~Sayreville,
where all the parties in the case re-
side.
What did Mr., Let's do to you when
he found you in the CELLAR" he asked.
Dragged me out in a very rough
way and told me he ought to get an ak
n chop off my head" answered the
witness.
The defense set up a complete denial
of any unfaithfulness. They set up in
their cross-bill that Let's made his
wife's life one of misery by his infic-
ton of extreme cruelty.

County Park Commission In an attempt
to drive her from the homestead which
she has occupied all her life.
Miss Wards life has been that Of a
hermit, and her only solace has been
the company of her cats. The favorites
are Josephine, Ebony, Black Thomas
and Telephone. They all receive the
care of small children, and their wants
are attended to by a special nurse and
physician. The loss of Lady Jewel last
week caused great sorrow in the house

born to Telephone. and they will be
christened tomorrow by Miss Ward,
who has as yet not definitely decided
upon their names.
Miss Ward has many pec~uliarities
She has no set time for rising in the
morning, but when she enters the
Kitchen her place at the table must be
just so. She refuses to have
a tablecloth, but, instead, has a large
napkin spread before her, on which are
her plate, a knife, fork, spoon, salt and
pepper cellars, which no one but she Is
allowed to use, and two pieces of block
sugar. When she enters the kitchen
the cats and two dogs u to greet her
and an embrace is given each one, ano
when she takes her seat at the table
they group about her in a semi-circle

EXPLOSION OF OIL STOVE
SETS FIRE TO ROOM.
Mrs. Matilda Puder Has a
Fright, but Damage Is Small.

An exploding oil stove caused a 5000
fire in the apartments of Mrs. Matilda
day. The fire was confined to one
room. but little there escaped damage.
Mrs. Puder had turned the flame of
the stove down, and was about to leave
the room when there was an explosion,
The burning oil set fire to a curtain
hanging before the closet door near
which the stove was standing, and
also to the covering of the bed.
The alarm was t~eleahpned in by
Frank Ward, proprietor of a grocery
store at the corner of Blocker and
Plane streets. Mrs. Puder escaped
without injury.

POLITICAL MIDDLE
AT HUNTSVILLE CITY

OGDEN. Nov. t2.-The people OF
Huntsville, i'm Ogden valley are per
picked over the question OF their polite
cal status. and the matter will have TO
be decided by the courts. The vexed
problem is whether Huntsville is or Is
not a city This was up for settlement
at the recent election on a vote 10 dis
incorporate. but the result was left in
uncertainty because so few voted 10 dis
incorporate.
About month ago a majority OF the
taxpayers OF the little city presented a
petition TO the district court asking per
mission 10 vote on the matter OF disin-
cooperating the city at the recent cleo
ton.
Judge Howell issued an order in
structing the city recorder OF Hunts
Vile to prepare the voting machine IN
such manner az to enable the voters
to express themselves on the matter by
voting "yes" or no"
When the vote was counted on the
night OF the election the Judges found
that 80 votes had been recorded In IA
vor Of disincorporation and % votes
had been registered on the negative
side OF the question, Notwithstanding
the fact that the entire vote cast to-
tailed q. Eleven votes had TO be dis
regarded, because they were found 10
be recorded In blank. The other six
votes could not be accounted for. The
judges believed that the machine had
been locked when the polls opened In
such a manner that Il was impos-
sihle 10 leave the voting booth until
a vote on the question had been record
ed, but In this they erred.
The knotted problem which now
confronts the people Of Huntsville Is,
whether or not they are living under
municipal laws or are governed by the
county officials In the same manner
as other settlements Of the state which
are not incorporated. The statute Of
the state requires that a majority OF
the total vote cast al a regular election
must be In favor OF disincorporation be-
fore such an action can be declared le-
gal As 80 votes lack considerable OF
