HUSBAND WAS RATHER ROUGH
Mrs. Elliott Enumerates a Few of the
Things He Did to Her.

Although she was a dutiful wife
and a faithful one, he was extremely
cruel to her: while she was of a low
ing disposition, he attempted to set
fire to her hair and threatened to kill
her. She bore him children and loved
them, yet he cruelty beat the little
two-year-old girl; she gave him no
reason or cause to become angry, new
ertheless, he struck her in the face
and beat her upon the body and he
would come home drunk and imme-
diately abuse her. But whether he
was drunk or sober, he beat her, and
even though he earned 800 a month
he refused to buy her or the children
clothes.
These are some of the charges
made by Mrs. Gertia Elliott in her di-
vorce petition against George B. Ell
lott The couple was married May 81,
1906. They have two children, Dor
othv Maxine Elliott, aged 21s years.
and Herbert Howard Elliott, aged 4
months.
She asks besides divorce, temporary
and permanent alimony, and the Gus
tody of the children, also the lots 65
and 81 which they own on Madison
street.

POLICEMEN ARE ON GUARD.
At State House Entrance to Keep
AutoistS Out.

Two special policemen are guarding
the two driveway entrances to the state
house grounds today. A motor car,
driven so fast that the Waterman could
not tell the number, went through the
grounds late yesterday afternoon.
Shortly before this a boy riding a BIZ
cycle ran into one of the janitors and
knocked the janitor down. The riding
of bicycles or driving motor cars or
motor cycles through the state house
grounds is prohibited. There have been
very few violations of the order of the
executive council but occasionally some
one forgets or does not know of the
order and attempts to go through. The
violations have been so few that cor
several months no guards have been
stationed at the entrances. On account
of the speed of the motor car last night
the order went forth today to station
the special officers at each entrance
and arrest those who attempt to drive
through the grounds.
