The Cunning' Divorce Case. I Judge Cunning was interviewed by a reporter of a Martins-; villa paper as to tho allegations of ! a complaint filed for divorce by j his wife, and that paper publishes it as follows: i i .liultfe Cunning' is here attending j eourt. He was interviewed in relation j to the suit brought by liis wife for ili- j voree at liloorainifton. and says the charge that he has nt no time eontri-1 buteit to the support of the household j is simply preposterous. He savs that i J. li. Sinvth .1. S. Knisrht. both of Mor- I

The Judirc says his em-rent expenses for the support of the family, were about ?7.5i each week. In regard to his wealth Judge running says he is worth from thirteen to fifteen thousand dollars and that his wife is worth anywhere from fifty to one hundred thousand dollars, He states that his wife kept a little 1. -i. ..... j, .. n nickel she spont for the family. This little book was a constant source of ir - ntation to ner anil consequently a fruitful source of discord in tlie family. She wanted him to bear all expense of living amlhe had made up his mind to do so. For a year or two his wife has desired to moyc into a smaller house with white hard wood finish: and after he came here to attend court, he opened up negotia tions with J. 0. Howe to trade for the Alexander Kobinson property in Kloomington. intending to furnish it in every particular, himself, and pay all expenses of ruuning it. That he had written to Mr. Howe twiff. nnd reeivod mm letter from V i 111 liirt-fi iri hi hurl !i n niti.-i v.-Vi-i t-. ever of the suit for divorce. He says their courtship was delightful, pure and sweet. He says that for the most uiiii, vtii'ii' a- nun ii4(T tivivn v "liiiv , J part their married life was peaceful and happy. That his wife is a good i reader, and together they r.ad a whole j library of the best books ever printed. ! and that she did nearly all of the rend- ! ing. He says they had one of the I sweetest girl babies born to them that ; over came into this world. This little I angel of the household died when she ! was four months old and left their : home in darkness and jrloom. lie : thinks if this sweet child had lived, all ; evil influences and petty cares would have been chased away by th light of her bright baby face and their home j would have been a haven of rest, joy land sweet happiness."
