lCastllcios her written consent that the said Maria Reyes Castillejos should live with this defendant for ever afterward and do his cooking and furnish him with all of the com forts of a home"
 The Custom in Mexico.
 The contract between Cox and the wife regarding the separation is said by his attorneys to be in accordance with the usual form of procedure in Mexico, declaring that there is no law there authorizing or legaliZing di- vorce. The people there, say the law yers of the defendant, make, private contracts instead of procuring public divorces as in the United States.
 In consideration of the agreement entered into by his wife Cox asks the court to dismiss her bill for divorce and alimony as he thinks he has paid her sufficiently. He ayers that she was a willing party to the agreement and separation and that it is now too late to demand additional recom- pense.
 Cox has held an executive position with the Mexican National railroad for a number of years. The answer to the wife's suit for divorce is re-. garded as remarkable document. and the case promises to attract na- tion-wde attention when it is heard next month.

KICK OF MULE KILLS DARKEY Arthur Jacobs Dies Almost Instantly from Blow
 Over Heart.

Arthur Jacobs, a negro 40 years of age, was. killed almost instantly yesterday afternoon about 2:3O o'clock when he was kicked over the heart by a mule at Jefferson Springs, fifteen miles from Pine Bluff.
 "Jake," as he was familiarly known to the white residents of Pine Bluff, was attending a barbecue at Jeffer- sen Springs and shortly after the noon hour took several mules to a lake nearby to water them. On re- turning with the animals, one of the mules became frightened and kicked Jacobs, lifting him several feet i'll the ar. A physician who was in the vicinity vf the accident was call ed. but the negro died before he could arrive. An examination showed that there was not a scratch on the body, but that the heart had been crumpled.
 Jacobs was employed by Shelby X Rateman, who are building the new dollarway road from Pine Bluff to Little Rock, and his wife is cook at the camp. He was well known in this city, where he had resided for many years. He had been engaged as teamster by Shelby & Bateman for several years and was known as a white folks niggah." The re- mains were brought to this city last night at 1O:2O on the Little Rock train.

SOLD HUSBAND AND
 SUES FOR AL|M0NY
Mans Answer Reveals Con. tract Whereby Woman
 Gave Husband to
 Mexican Maid.

Bloomington, H., July An eX- traordmary nuptial agreement was made public in the filing of an answer this week by Charles Cox in the N1 Page county circuit court to the charges in a bill for divorce.
 The reply told the. story of the dying love" of his wife which led to contract which gave him permis- sion to live as the husband of a hand some Indian girl to whom he became attracted while making his home in Mexico. It recites the details of an alleged agreement whereby Mrs. Cox relinquishes her husband to Maria Reyes Castillejos, a highly educated Mexican halfbreed, for a monetary consideration.
 The married life of the defendant and his wife is dwelt upon at length in the answer, which asserts that the couple made their home in hotel for many years, the Wife declining to keep house. As a result of the hotel life Cox became i'll, principally due to the fact that the food was unfit to eat. Cox demanded that the wife agree tO I CliaHSC III NiIClA IllCtHOu Ol ilNIho and that they keep house and thus enable him to secure food which would be healthful and strengthen ing. In addition to her insistence upon living in hotel he charged her with the possession of 'vaulting social ambition, and, as a result of her extravaganza, she always kept poverty dogging at the heels of the defendant, cursing him with the cruel. bitter curse of unrequited toll through her everlasting demands made upon him for money" as the bill reads.
 In 1906 he prevailed upon his wife to agree to a separation. He procured a housekeeper to cook his meals and he thereafter lived ill comfort and re- gained his health.
 Permitted to Make "Real Home."
 The husband recites that he has been engaged in railroading for the past twenty-five years, but that dur ing the greater portion of this period his wife resided in the United States while he was in Mexico. When she lief thim, Cox asserts, he gave her 5000 in cash and mining stock. Re- garding this settlement the answer reads "And in consideration thereof the complainant then and there agreed to separate from the defendant and forever afterward live separate and apart, and further, did agree with this defendant that he should from thenceforth live with the said Maria Reyes Castillejos, and, in every sense of the word, enjoy all of the privileges of real home with her. And in pursuance of such consent the complainant did then execute. sign and deliver to the said Maria Reyes
