.DIEPOSEO AS WIFE.
But B Gets $500
coNTRAcT MARRIAGE DECLARED
VOID BUT HoUsEkEEPER IS
ENTITLED TO WAGES.

.Modale, Sept. 12.-After four years
of litigation and after having been de-
posed legally as the wife Of Elias w.
Pegg, Margaret Asher has won VIC
tory as housekeeper and has been ad-
judged to be entitled to $4,000 Tor
services during twenty-one years OF
employment.
Elias w. .Pegg was farmer residing
near here. He died August Z, 1906,
leaving considerable personal property
and lands of the value of $4,000. For
some years prior to July IL, 1885, Mar
garet Asher had been his housekeeper
employed at regular salary. On the
date last mentioned they entered into
the following agreement:
The undersigned make and enter
into this agreement and contract.
Elias w. Pegg this day takes Margaret
Asher to be his lawful wife and agrees
to live with her as such.
Margaret Asher this day takes
Elias W. Pegg to be her legal husband
and agrees to live with him as such
during life.
ELIAS w. Pegg,
Margaret Asher.
Witness, ]. C. Crobie."
AS husband and wife Pegg and the
woman lived together until the death
of the former. Pegg failed to leave a
will and Immediately after the funeral
his relatives not only took possession
of the property and refused to recog-
: rize Margaret Asher Pegg as the
widow, but refused to compensate her
for her twenty-one years Of service IN
assisting to accumulate the estate
Margaret Asher Pegg instituted suit
to recover one-half Of the Pegg pos
sessions. The suit went to the SUI
preme court of Iowa, where 1t was
held that the contract did not consti-
tute legal marriage under the pro-
visions Of the laws OF the state.
Legally deposed as wife, Margaret
Asher dropped the name, Pegg, and
brought suit for $4,000, alleging that
this sum was due her as housekeeper
for Elias w. Pegg. This case, like the
former one, went to the supreme court
which has held that her claim is just
and that It must be paid out of the
property Of the estate left by Pegg.

ETOWAH COUNTY
 JAIL CONDEMNED

Gadsden, December 17-(Special.)-Th strong condemnation of the Etowah county jail by State Inspector Oates will probably result in some definite acton on the part of the county commissioners as soon as the new board meets. Ihe inspector declared the place unht TOT the housing of animals, much less hu- man beings, and unless action Is taken there is no doubt that he will remove the prisoners until some better quarters are provided for them. The matter of a new jail has been live Issue in the county for several years and the people at one time voted on a proposition to issue bonds for the purpose, but the proposition failed to carry and officials have been slow to act in the face or this expressed opposition of the people. However, something must be done now and 1t Is likely that the board will pro- ceed with the building of a new prison without submitting the matter again.
 The trial of Robert Leath, police pa- trolman, before the city council on Mon day night. on charge of aiding and abettins in the violation of the prohibit tion laws. promises to be the greatest sensation that has come to the city In some time. The members of the council are very much divided in their opinion of MT. Leath and his fitness to serve on the force As a result of this it Is an- ticipated that some undertaking will be done by both sides in the presentation of testimony and warm trial will un- doubtedly result.

 The twenty-two prisoners who will be arraigned before Mayor Lewis this morn- ing in the police court will reap the benefit of the Christmas spirit. Mayor Lewis will be especially lenient in sen tencing the unfortunates who are found guilty, having expressed his intention of tempering his judicial justice with mercy for the sake of the holiday occa- sion. The prisoners are all charged with minor offenses and 1t Is probable that the majority will be let off with light fines. There ""@ no charges of felony among the number.
