Mrs. Lottie ID. Young Appeals to
Probate Court.
Has Husband Arrested for Neg
lecting Her and Family.
HE HAS NO CARES.
Leaves Her to Care for Three
Small Children.
DR.. Young Placed Under Arrest
in Lyon County.

For many years Lottie d. Young was
patient and long suffering, but today
she dragged her wrongs to Judge
Schoch's court and will compel her
husband, DR.. C. R. Young, to explain
why he spends so much time abroad
and neglects his family. Young, who is
veterinary surgeon, was arrested
Thursday evening in Lyon county and
Will be given hearing May 49,
There are three children in the Young
home whose healthy names should en-
title them to more or less distinction.
Jeanette May Young is 10 years old
and attends an East side school. Then
there is Williforine Lucille Young, who
IS Just two years Jeannettes Junior.
Dorothy De LorieS Young is years old
and bright and promising regardless of
rather troublesome name that shs
will be compelled to carry through life
But when Mrs. Young and the three
daughters went to the probate court
with their troubles, Judge Schoch was
certain there was something wrong in
the Young home and he issued a war
rant for the alleged wayward parent
Mrs. Young admits that her husband is
periodically a very good man. But
Young spends too much time away
from home. Once he was gone two or
three years, she says, and in that time
the wife and mother was compelled to
care for and support herself and the
babies She modestly checked the mat
ter up to the court to decide if that
was not beyond the bounds of an ordl-
nary dutifuI wife.
In addition to these complaints. Mrs.
Young recites that her husband spends
too much of his money for personal
enjoyment and too little for the sup
port and care of his family. Mrs.
Young is a rather confiding little wom-
an with a noisy picture hat The vio-
lets on the picture hat bobbed and
swayed in the breeze as she shook her
head with much emphasis and told the
court that the doctor should be pun
ished.
''It's just more than we can stand,
or should be asked to stand" expos
tulated Mrs. Young, and three little
heads wagged their approval of the
mothers sentiments. ''Why, do you
4 know" continued the mother, that
my husband is gone for months at a
time and have to stay at home ana
support the children. It's big lob,
| too, to keep them in school and buy
the clothing and the groceries and pay
the rent"
Judge Schoch thought so, too So
he will try to anchor DR.. Young
closer to his native port
Young had little to say about the
case. when he was arraign ed this
morning. After some little delay, he
procured bond for $500 pending his
appearance when the case is called for
trial,
