get come kind of redress from John
barrett. from whom she was denied
a divorce annulling her common law
marriage to him by Judge Dana yes

Barrett in which she seeks to recover
the sum of $500 from him. She states
that SIS of this sum is on account OF
money that she earned herself and
turned over to Barrett and which he
spent for his own benefit. The other
S225 Is for work and labor she per-
formed for Barrett during the year
and a day that they lived together.
Judge Dana denied the divorce and
alimony sought by the Barrett woman

rett, who fought the case. to the ef-
feet that she married Frank K. Merri-
well here in July. 1901. and that she
had never been divorced from him. This
was admitted by the woman. She said
that she and Merriwel had lived to-

she had never seen him or heard from
him since then. Her attorneys argued
that the long absence of Merriwell per-
United the legal assumption that he
was dead. but Judge Dana could not
see 1t in that light.

Considerable opposition was brought
to bear on Beeson' S candidacy for the
office of county highway superintend-
ent, it being charged that he was not
competent to perform the duties OF
this office, and it is generally be
lieved this opposition induced him to
withdraw his application for appoint
ment to this office.
The report that Beeson is now WOO
ing the appointment of intirmary su
perintendent will again call forth stout
opposition, for there appears to be d

Affairs Criticized.
For the last two years there has
been frequent criticism of the Brum

been no progress in placing the insti

vision over the affairs of the infirm

shoulder much of this criticism.
