Especial to The Republican,
BY Robert S. DOMAIN

OATMAN. Arizona, April 29.-Tht
opening skirmish of one of the mosi
interesting legal battles in the his.
tory of AIohave county was fought
out today in the Oatman Court oi
Domestic Relations when John Oat-
man, wealthy Mohave Indian was
sued for divorce by his wife. Estelle
Oatman. Both plaintiff and defen-
dant live near the Oatman gold camp
in which the Mohave chief is heavily
interested.
John Oatman claims to be the
grandson Of Olive Oatman. famous in
Arizona history. In 1851 the Oatman
family while on Its way from Illinois
to California was massacred by In
dams. One daughter. Olive. was
spared and forced to marry a Mohave
brave. She became such a thorough
Indian woman that years later, when
her brother insisted that she leave
her husband and children, she went
insane.
In bringing her suit for divorce
yesterday Mrs. Oatman swore. both
legally and literally, that her husband
had reverted to dog dinners" that
he frightened her on several occa-
sions by putting phosphorus on his
body and doing the old tribal ghost
dances, and that he had had many
conferences with bootleg peddlers of
coffin -yarniSh," forty rod and
''sheepherder's delight"
Moreover, besides naming an Al
bino girl of the Yavapai tribe. Mrs.
Oatman stated that her husband had
built covered pit and filled it with
gila monsters, lizards, vinaGrones,
scorpions, tarantulas and rattle
snakes, that he had pushed her into
said pit when she objected to the
Yavapai Albino swimming the Colo
RADIO river to visit her husband. and
that he had displayed other evidences
of failing marital affections.
Through her attorney, V. P. Luz
cas- Of Oatman, Mrs. Oatman further
alleged that her husband was ad-
dicted to eating loco-weed and that
during the dementia following this
dissipation on one occasion he had
tied her into the topmost prickly
branches of a candelabra cactus 25
feet high and had left her there dur
ing scofching hot afternoon.
She further alleged that while in
the hogan" or house. Mr.. Oatmau
continually scratched matches on his
bare feet, that following an ancient
Mohaye custom, he had refused to
look at his mother-in-law since the
Oatman marriage in 1903 and that in
1911 he had threatened to feed her
youngest son, then eight months old.
to the Mohave sacred rattlesnake
which is fed but once year.
While using dynamite in working
a claim in the Oatman gold mining
district in 1916, Mr.. Oatman lost part
of his scalp, one eye and also sus-
tanned such severe decorations of the
lower jaw that DR.. r. A. Hoag, q
local dentist who was called as a
witness, found it necessary to extract
all of Oatman's teeth. Since which
time, Mrs. Oatman testified. her hus-
band had taken delight in removing
his false teeth, taking out his glass
eye and "scalping himself by remov-
ing his wig in order to frighten both
his own children and the boys and
girls of the tribe.
Moreover, Mrs. Oatman continued,
her husband spent most of his money
buying glass eyes from a Los Angeles
optical goods house. When ques-
