AGED COUPLE
HAVING TROUBLES
MRS JACOB HOFFMAN CLAIMS
THAT HUSBAND MIsTREATs
HER AND APPLIES FOR d.
voRcE AND ALIMoNY.


! The Daily Statesman this morning
prints the following story of the diff
lferences between Payette couple
which have finally eliminated in
divorce proceedings The Hoffman S
are old settlers in this community,
having proved up en- and occupied a
l60-acre homestead and other lands,
embracing some 24O acres just east
OF the city limits for more than 20
Years. They have no children:
Alleging that her husband on diff
ferent occasions thrust her out Of
their home and even locked her out,
and that he made her eat raw and
uncooked meat and did other mean
things, Mrs. Franziska Hoffman of
Payette, after nearly 27 years of wed
ded life, seeks a divorce. The de-
fendant is Jacob Hoffman Of Payette.
Mrs. Hoffman alleges that her hus-
band first forcibly elected her from
the home between September 1 and
December Is of last year. She assert;
that she was again pushed out be-
tween February 1 and July Is Of this
year. She says that on these occa-
sions she was forbidden to return
ard was obliged TO seek shelter with
he neighbors.
MEAN ACTS DETAILED
Though she does not give her
age, Mrs Hoffman claims to be
"aged and decrepit." Her complaint
sets forth that the lord of the home
compelled her to eat "raw and un-
cooked meat" and refused to pro-
vide food suited to a person of her
age. Though she is not able physi-
cally to make such a trip, and
though there were plenty of convey
ances about the place in which Mr..
Hoffman frequently rode to town, she
claims he usually obliged her to go
to Payette on foot She says he gave
as reason for this action the state
ment that he was ashamed 10 be
seen in town with her.
CALLED BAD NAMES.
Another claim of the complain
ant is that the spouse frequently
called her vile and uncouth names,
sometimes in the presence of other
people.
Mrs. Hoffman asks for an interest
in the personal property and the in
come resulting from improvement OF
he real property which she has
helped bring about She claims that
rents and profits from the property
approximate 800 month

by DR.. G. A. Barton, who has been
devoting much of his time and at
tention to the matter, who, after
stating the object of the meeting,
asked for suggestions as to what
mode of procedure was desired.

subject by gentlemen representing
the various sections of the Valley,
it was decided to organize an Auto
mobile Club, to be differed by a.
president, vice-president, secretary
and treasurer, and committee COM
posed of DIR. Drysdale of New Ply
