Poughkeepsie, June 5.-'rhe Whitbecks
we're secretly married In Delaware. Soon
afterward they went to Mllert0n, Duchess
County, to live. They soon quarrelled, and
then followed n series OF disagreements
which finally resulted In Mrs. Whitbeck
bringing action for separation.
The suit was tried before Justice Nor
schauser here. Mrs. Whitbeck told Of her
husbands threats to kill her. Of his chas-
ing her with a revolver. OF locking her IN
closet and Of compelling her to assist
him In his business
While Mrs Whitbeck was testifying
about her husbands cruel treatment, Jus.
tice Morschauger detected the plaintiff and
defendant exchanging smiles. Hating the
trial, he said that as the husband and wife
were flirting in the court room lie did not
feel that the trial should be continued.
The suit was finally discontinued.

Ing Woods for Mysterious
Youth.

Aurora, ILL.,, July 10. = An armed
posse is searching the country for 3
youthful desperate who terrorized
farmers between this city and Platte
vile by riding q pony, believed to
have been stolen, and firing shots
from q revolver at all who crossed
his path. The boy is said to be about
IL years old and is not known in this
vicinity. The boy was first seen two
days ago near Archdale, where he
created excitement by threatening to
kill a farmer. Deputy Sheriff Braun
attempted to capture the boy but
after chasing him several miles lost
track Of him.
Monday morning the mysterious
youth appeared on his pony near
Platteville, riding at full speed and
frightening a number Of farmers by
shouting threats at them and firing
several shots in the air. Later he was
seen at Rocdale and other towns,
where he caused CONSERVATION by his
strange actions.
At dark he stopped at the farm Of
]. C. Shaw, and demanded food and
drink, emphasizing his request by fir
ing few shots into corn crib.
Later while he was asleep in the
woods near the Shaw farm the pony
broke away and ran back to Platte
vile where it was captured by John
Knudson. The young desperate fol.
lowed the animal and when he found
It in Knudson's possession he demand
ed its return. Knudson refused to
give up until the boy drew his re-
