HUSBAND SEEKS
$4,000 FOR LOST
LOVE OF WIFE
Wealthy Rancher Made De-
PENDANT by Irate Husband
Who Declares His Home has
Been Broken UD.

Suit for $4,000 for the alleged
alienation of his wife's affections was
filed in the superior court this morn
ing by Attorney Don Bitter, acting
for Emmil c. LeistiHow against VIM.
l.. Brite, prominent and well to do
rancher residing three miles south of
Meloland.
Allegations that while he was i'll
with the influenza Brite induced his
wife to take automobile rides with
him and that he induced her to ride
with him on a buckscraper, which
had a tendency to lower the morals
of the pair are made in the complaint.
He alleges that he went to work
for Brite in December 1918 and
shortly after Brite commenced his at
tentions to his wife, Cornelia Leisti-
kow. The couple have two small
daughters. Mrs. Le:stikow is a
young and pretty woman Of under
80, whereas Brite is said to be past
so.
When Leistikow protested to his
wife and attempted to leave the ranch
he says that fear caused him to
sign a statement that he was leaving
the employ of his employer volun-
tarily. g.
He also alleges that his wife refus-
ed to come with him and that since
that time she and Brite have been
living together as man and wife.
The community is said to be well
aware of the facts in the case.
