Suit Which Has Been Filed in Dis
trict Court to Establish Widows
Rights, Tells Unusual
Story.
IGNORANT OF DIVORCE
Not Till Death Did Elizabeth Siusher
Learn That Husband Had Sew
cred Bonds and Married
Another.

An unusual story of the tragedy in
a woman's life is revealed by suit
on file in the office of the clerk of the
district court. Not until after the
death of her husband did the plain
tiff in the suit find that he had sued
and been granted a divorce and had
married another woman, the petition
on file asserts. No legal notices Il
the divorce proceedings were served,
the plaintiff claims, and she asks
that it be declared void and that she
be restored to the rights of the
widow The petition is entitled Eliza
beth Slusher VS.. Melinda B. Slusher.
In the petition on file, Elizabeth
Slusher claims that she was married
to Levi Slusher, March 26, 1857 at
Hunt, Indiana, and that they lived to-
gesher as husband and wife until the
spring of 1897, when she alleges, her
spouse deserted her. She declares
the family then lived at Warren, Ind,
and that her husband was in CORES
pondence with the family during the
interval. In the spring of 1879 she
moved to st. Louis.
She recites in her petition that in
the district court of Lee county,
March IS, 1899 Levi Slusher was
granted divorce. She alleges that
this was fraudulently and secretly Sc
cured, and that it was granted by mis-.
representations and false statements.
made for the purpose Of deceiving
the court, as she claims. She says no
notice OF the suit pending was filed
and that while publication was made.
there was no affidavit of non-resi-
dence-
Mrs- Slgshsr claims the grounds on
which her husband secured his d.
vorce, viz, assertion, are false and
untrue.
( Size further alleges that on August
20. 1900, ne married Melinda Bowen
On November IS. 1913 Levi Slusher
died He was not possessed OF any
real estate but was an honorabiy dis
charged union soldier, the petitioner
claims. She alleges that she knew
nothing OF the divorce proceedings
Until a. short time ago. She is asking
that the divorce be annulled and she
be granted the rights Of widow.
