On the night of the assault and muir
der Wood drove a team of mules in
stead of his brown driving horse which
he almost always drove. These mules
would stand without being tied, while
the horse would not, and this fact IS
taken by those who know the man as
significant that he intended kidnap-
ing the girl. The chloroform and the
bracelet found in his coat also seem to
prove that this was certainly his in
tention. Wood left the mules standing
just in front of the gate in the road,

AFTER TWO MONTHS.
Jane Foster, Bride, Has to File Suit
for Divorce.

Only two months after the ceremony
was performed in which she promised,
until death, to "love, cherish" etc.,
her husband, Jane Foster filed a suit
for divorce from Macarthur Foster.
The grounds charged are negligence
and cruelty, the wife declaring that
Foster has so far failed to provide her
with suitable necessaries of life that
do her homework.
The Fosters were married June 10
last, according to the petition filed for
divorce. The complainant says her
husband is abled bodied, and his neg
lect, therefore, is malicious and with
out cause or occasion.
