Topeka Girl Sues Jailed Hus-
band for Divorce.
Mother-in-Law Charges Jack
F. Smith Is Insane.
ROMANCE BEGAN At FAIR
Smith Was Running Ferris
Wheel When They Met.
Friday Night He Collected
Hardware To Kill Her?

While her husband is confined in
the county jail. Mrs. Gladys L. Smith.
a bride of four days, is suing Jack F.
Smith for divorce on the ground of
extreme cruelty. A call from the
Smith home at 456 Wabash avenue to
the effect that suicide was being
attempted, brought members of the
sheriff's force to the place about 8
O'Clock Friday night to take Smith
into custody. Today an insanity charge
was placed against him by his wife's
mother.
According to the authorities. Smith
has frequently threatened to kill both
his wife and himself. Friday night
razor, revolver and a butcher
knife were produced by him to be
use for the purposes, it was said. The
mother-in-law came to the office of
morning to make a complaint against
Smith.
Was a Fair Romance.
I According to the story told the au-
thorities. the girl. formerly Gladys
Martin. met Smith at the free fair
last fall, where he was running a fer
ris wheel. A mutual infatuation, it
seems, developed between the two. and
altho this state later cooled off some
what on the part of the girl, Smith,
| it is said, was as ardent as ever. By
threatening to kill her ffashe refused.
! it was charged. he induced the girl to
| have intimate relations with him and
still continued with his threats.
+; Thinking his attitude toward her
might change for the better If she
yielded to his request to marry him,
! it was said, Miss Martin consented
j and they were married on December
| 81.
| Treated Her Worse.
| Smiths treatment of her, however,
/ grew worse instead of better. with the
. result that he was arrested Friday
: night and an insanity complaint en-
/ tered against him this morning.
Mrs. Smith wants divorce, alimony
and a restraining order to enjoin him
! from molesting her. Ed Rooney, her
; attorney. stated today, however, that
i he would not press the insanity charge
and that Smiths prosecution~on that
| ground would be up to the authorities.

Notes

There are many birds in the
woods and fields at this time of the
year which we do not recognize.
The young birds which will out
number their parents, are not all
true to color and even the old birds
have changed their costume in many
cases.
The goldfnch, or wild canary as
they are sometimes called, changes
from the golden yellow to an incon-
spicuous brown in winter. They
stay with us the year through but
their dress is so changed that we do
not recognize them.
During September, the number
of our birds rapidly decrease. ORR
oless Swallows, Purple Martins,
Grosbeaks, Kingbirds, Catbirds and
many of the Sparrows and Warb-
lers have departed for the South
and there are very few bird songs
heard. All who are left are too busy
feeding up after a strenuous sum-
mer to give much time to song.
Many birds are arriving from the
north A few will remain with us
but the majority, after a few weeks
stay, will continue their journey
south where the winters are not so
severe.
The White-throated Sparrow is
due to arrive from the north this
month and will stay with us all
winter if food is plentiful. His win
ter food is weed seeds. We may
know him by the white patch on
his throat.
