Frank Koenig and Neil Mcintyre, the
parties who were arrested by the
sheriff's office for burglarizing the
Long and Son store at Kendrick on
the night of April 10, were informed
against and arraigned on the charge
of burglary in the district court

ants when asked by the court said
they needed no attorney and Phillip
Reilly said he would plead his own
case. Each defendant was given a
copy of the information and entered
a plea of not guilty to the charge.
lNdge Steele remanded defendants
to the custody of the sheriff. Should
defendants fail to change their posi-
ton as to the plea they will have to
await the calling of a jury, which
will probably be the latter part of
May or the first part of June. In

Cruel TREATMENT

A complaint has been filed in the

tiff asks for a decree of divorce from

defendant and that certain real prop
erty be decreed by the court to plain
tiff.
The complaint states that the par
ties were married on November 21,

tiff as a basis for the institution of
the action and prayer for divorce.
Among the cruel acts enumerated
and charged by the plaintiff the petit
tion states that during the months Of
June and July, 1921, defendant struck
the plaintiff in his face, found fault
with him and taunted him with being
insane and threatened to leave him
and finally on July 2, 1921, defend
ant packed up her personal belong
ings and left plaintiff. Complaint also
charges that defendant refused to eat
at the same table with plaintiff, and
would put his meals on table and
would eat elsewhere; that she would
put poison on the table where he ate,
and when plaintiff objected to the
poison being on the table she would
put poison at different places where
he kept his shaving material and on
or before the mirror where he shaved,
and when plaintiff objected defendant
would abuse and insult him.
Plaintiff also alleges that defend
ant, during the sickness of plaintiff,
had urged that the property which
they possessed in community, and also
some separate property, be put in the
the name of defendant, and that fin
ally all of the property was put in her
name. The property so placed in her
name is five acre tract located i'm
mediately east of Moscow and city
