When in 1901, the Pocahontas hotel

Iowa News.

Jefferson, May 6.-The sensation Of
the week is the $4,000 damage suit
OF Wilbur Pooley. Of this city, against
Banker O. J. Dutton, Of Grand Junction
The petition, which was filed in the
clerks office Thursday, claims this sum
as actual and exemplary damages for
the alienation OF the wifely affections
Of Paulina Dutton) Pooley, who was
united in marriage with the plaintiff
on the 30th of last July
The petition is voluminone and sets
forth in detail some Of the history Of
the marital relation Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Pooley. It alleges that Mr.. and Mrs.
Dutton, Jointly confederating and
|conspiring and with utter disregard Of
the sacred rights of the plaintiff, and
in utter and malicious disregard Of the
love and affection borne toward each
other by the plaintiff and his wife, did
attempt by words and actions to
ALLEVIATE the affections of said Pauline
Dutton) Pooley from the plaintiff"
Thereafter it recites a number of
instances and details which are al
legged in support of the main allegation
Of the petition, among them being the
charges that the defendants advised
their daughter not to live with Pooley:
that they refused &c ale" him to visit
her at their home or to communicate
with her by telephone; that on one oc-
casion they committed an assault upon
the plaintiff to drive him from their
home: that they called him vile names.
and in. various other ways sought to
break up the union.
Will Deny Allegations.
Mr.. Dutton will deny the allegations
made in the plaintiffs petition, and
expresses his determination to fight
the case to finish. He indicated that
the sooner the case could be brought to
trial and the Issues drawn, the better
he would be satisfied, and he will be
ready for trial at the term Of court
beginning next Monday. tho it is very
doubtful II the case can be reached
in it's order during the coming term.
The case attracts the widest atten-
ton wherever the parties are known.
especially as 1t involves q claim for
damages which is among the largest IN
the history OF the county. In all us
features it is Of a highly sensational
character and will be watched with
close interest as it moves forward.
