Stopped Because Petition
Vas Net in Proper FERN

Thirty-two women and nearly as
many men were in Superior Court this
morning when the divorce case Of
Joseph Sindowski vs.. Rosie Sindowski
was called. The divorce was sought
on the ground of habitual drunken
ness. Lilburne Chandler representing
the respondent, presented a motion TO
dismiss the petition. Mr.. Chandler
claimed the petition did not follow the
statute; was couched in language un-
certain and ambiguous and coupled
the habitual drunkenness with endan-
gering the life OF the plaintiff. The
court dismissed the petition. The ac-
tion viii be pressed again. After e. r
Cochran, Jr., representing the plain
tiff, had opposed the taxing of costs
for twenty-four witnesses. the court
ordered that six witnesses be paid wit
ness fees and mileage when the case
is called again.
Judge Boyce in giving the opinion
OF the court on the motion to dismiss
the petition reminded the members Of

called their attention to the import
ance OF following the wording OF the

OUT OF COURT
AFTER 10 YEARS
Mr.. Salisbury viii File Final
Report In Old Texas
Cases
DEATH DELAYS THE
FINAL AEJU- ICATIvN

Chancellor Curtis has handed down !
an order directing Willard Salisbury. I
trustee OF the Fort Worth Land and
Street Railway Company, and the
West Fort Worth Street Railway Com
pany Of Texas, to have his report
printed regarding the companies and
the 100000 now on deposit here.
In 1891 when the bondholders and
creditors of the companies met in
Philadelphia they had bonds outstand-
ing amounting to 1888, 900. Mr.. Sauls-
bury was one of the original commit
tee appointed as trustee and found that
the companies property consisted Of a
poorly built electric railway running
from Fort Worth to Arlington Heights,
Texas, where a land speculation was
in progress. The trustees foreclosed
on the property and it was bought by
the committee.
IL was in January 1891 that the
bondholders and creditors met in Phil
adelphia and In addition 20 Mr.. Sauls-
bury Robert Patterson, Of Philadel-
phia, Irving A. Evans, Of Boston,
Mass; Stanton ID. Loring, Newton,
Mass, and w. H. Wells, of Detroit
Mich, were appointed attorneys and
trustees for the bondholders and cred
itors as their representatives under a
trust mortgage on properties of the
two companies. After foreclosure the
committee bought IN the property as
stated and found an Improbable
electric railway. In order to finance
the affair each of the creditors and
bond holders were assessed 20 per
cent. of their claims and later a sec
ond assessment of 3 per cent. amount
ing TO $75.520 was made. The railway
was improved and bettered and run as
separate corporation by the COM
mittee of trustees. The trustees found
the business Improbable mainly by the
collapse of land speculation.
Therefore in March, 1893, the prop
erty was sold for SIS, 900. Persons. who
were wanted IN connection with the
suit then disappeared. Legal proceed
ings were Intellectual and the work on
the committee Of trustees became
onerOus until 1898. Then the commit
tee tried to be relieved, but could not
bring together sufficient of principals
to secure the relase.
Mr. L0ring resigned and Mr. Evanl
died before having met the committe,
Mr.. Wells was i'll and relinquished all
work, so that Mr. Salisbury and Mr.
Patterson for years had all the work
upon them to perform
Mr.. Patterson died in February, 1908
and since then Mr. Salisbury per-
formed all the business. Iii October
1909, at meeting held here Mr.. Sauls-
bury presented a report to the credit
ore oud houdbo1darc rrhfob NEE ..,Ift
ed and found correct. At that time the
trustee had about $4,000 on hand and
the only other remaining property was
$50 acres of land near Fort Worth.
1t was agreed at the meeting that
Otho Nowland should be added to the
committee with Mr.. Salisbury and 1t

BY The United Press.
HANKOW. Nov. 29.-Victorious inn
perial troops are engaged in one Of
the most hideous slaughters Of the
present war. WI Chang and Han
Yang are running red with blood
Hundreds of bodies of the Manchu
victims are floating down the Yang
Use. Swarms of vultures are hover
ing over the river adding TO the horror
OF the scene.
The rebel army. terribly crippled
by the several days fighting at Han
Yang and WI Chang is torn with dis
sensions and it is admitted by its
leaders that the situation is most criti-
cal The rebel camp could be seen
last night from a hill just outside of
Han Yang but today they have dis
appeared.
Blow to the Rebels.
The loss of Han Yang has been a
severe blow to the revolutionary
cause. The mint, arsenal and powder
factory had kept General Los army
well supplied with money and am
munition. Now the rebels in a pan
icky rout are unable to get ammuni-
ton and hundreds of the soldiers are
without arms having thrown away
their guns during the retreat from
Wu Chang.
One Of the forms of amusement that
the imperialists have adopted is bayo-
net practice upon living targets. The
victims terribly wounded are left
where they fell until death puts an
end to their misery. Even women and
children are not spared.
