I informed OF her husbands actions
! Mrs. Freeman returned home.
Here are some OF the accusations
made by Freeman against his wife in
the divorce complaint filed here.
She travelled with Richard Yates of
Illinois from Eureka to San Francisco.
She permitted Yates TO hug her in
every tunnel en- route. AT every bridge
they crossed ana at every crossing.
She celebrated her arrival here with
a jubilee al the Cliff house.
She allowed Richard Seeley. the
name under which Yates Travelled. TO
visit her in her room in a hotel in
Willis.
The Freemans are prominent in Eu-
reka society They were married in
Denver in 1902. Their property affairs
have been adjusted. declares the hus-
band
In his complaint. Freeman gives in
detail a trip which he says his wife
took last summer from Eureka 20 San
Francisco with Yates.
He says they met Yates at the depot
in Eureka. and when they were intro
duced. Yates invited Mrs. Freeman TO
accompany him on a little trip. She
did. declares the husband. against his
wish and desire.
They travelled by train. by stage and
otherwise. says Freeman. and became
so chummy that they invariably en-
braced each other whenever the train
went through a tunnel. crossed a
bridge OF hit n crossing.
II was his wife's conduct al a hotel
in Willis. however. TO which Freeman
makes the most serious objection.
which he describes as 'unseemly" for
a woman and which gave him great
mental anguish.
Yates left her al san Francisco. says
the husband. after they had celebrated 1
their trip By a grand jubilee at the
Cliff house.

Dangerous Mouse Trap

Portland-Miss Rose Martin has
been suffering with an unusually
severe attack of blood poisoning i'm
her right arm and hand. DIR. +. w.
Martin, the attending physician, hav-
ing been obliged to use the lance no
less than half dozen times TO provide
an outlet for the poisonous serum. 1t
has been necessary to keep the infiam-
ed member packed in ice almost con-
tinuously in an effort to allay the ex-
cruciating pain to which the patient
has been subject.
The case is OF peculiar origin. Miss
Martin ran n small silver into her
hand, but the injury gave her little
or no annoyance. Just before retiring
for the night she set a small mouse
trap. The following day the arm and
hand were swelled to twice their nor
NAL size and the supposition is that
the infection resulted from contact
with the trap. The woman has been
under the constant care of physician
since.
