SENSATIONAL SUIT FILED.
Grundy County Woman Brings Action
Against Children Of Late Husband.

Special TO Times Republican.
Grundy Center. April IA. - Quite a
sensational suit has been started by
Mrs. Claas Primus against the children
of her late husband, Claas Primus,
who died few months ago. Mr..
Primus was the president of the Far
mers' and Merchants Savings Bank of
Wellsburg and was wealthy. A few
years ago he married the plaintiff in
this suit Each had their separate
property and they entered into an
ante-nuptial contract agreeing that
each should continue to own their in
diyidual property and that all increase
In their wealth should belong to them
Jointly. The plaintiff alleges in her
petition that her late husband mis-
treated her; that he misappropriated
the earnings from her individual prop
erty. and that the property which was
acquired after their marriage was
taken in his name and no accounting
has been made to her for her share of
the same. As both were weli-to-do the
case is apt to be litigated thru ali the
courts of the state.
