DIVORCE SUITS ARE FILED

ALEXANDRIA, Jan. 25.-As q re-
suit OF a called meeting of Columbia
steam fire engine company being dis
turbed by the firing of two pistol
shots in or near the room in which
the meeting was being held last night
about o'clock, Chief Goods, OF the
police department, is making an in
vestigation.
The company had been called to-
gether to discuss matters in connec-
tion with recent appointments made
by the fire committee of the city
council for the company, and the
session turned into q sort of indig-
nation meeting, at which IL is stated
that some very plain language was
used by the various speakers. In the
midst of the excitement the door
leading to the room was opened and
a pistol shot rang out which nearly
precipitated a riot.
II was found that the bullet had
penetrated the ceiling. Efforts to dis
cover who fired the shot were I'M
availing. In about ten minutes,
when normal conditions had been re-
suned, another shot was heard. "A
motion to adjourn was pending, but
the company did not wait for the
question to be formally carried. All
made a hasty exit from the place and
further particulars concerning the af-
fair await the investigation Of Chief
Goods.
Suits for divorce have been filed in
the circuit court as follows: Mabel
Lloyd Costin against William Custis
Costin; Lillian Jones BuchholZ against
Bruno BuchhoIz: Viola Kemberger
against Louis Kemberger. In each
cose desertion is alleged as the
grounds for which divorce is asked.
