After a somewnat stormy marital career. Rosa Blazer has filed a suit' for divorce from Elwood Blazer, de i manding the care of the children, f'.’u a month for their support, and 1500 i alimony. The last parting of the ways of this couple is said to have been in i August, the month just passed, when,! according to Rosa’s complaint, Elwood ! threw all of her clothes out of his house and told her to get out, which she says she did. and she has since been living with her son "Cruel and inhuman treatment of the plaintiff all' their married life" is the gist of Rosa’s complaint, set out more specifically, as follows; That they have separated many times because he threw her, clothes out, cursed her. called her viie names in the presence of their children and neighbors and accused her of unfaithfulness when she was working for the Decatur Produce company, earning money with which she paid their house rent and "bought coal and I food while the defendant laid around, his house in idleness, warming by the ( fires she had provided and eating ths, food she had bought with her own f ' earning.” She said when she would, return home from work in the evening, I nearly worn out by labor, he would swear at her, say she had earned her} money immorally, and several times! while she was working at the Decatur | Produce plant, the defendant would walk the floor of their house from evening to morning, singing, slapping his hands together, to make their home unpleasant and miserable for her, and to tease and torment her. so that on various occasions the marshal was called to quiet him. She says he has a violent temper, and often, after she had worked hard and bought fu -, niture he has come home and broken it up and thrown it out of the house The cook stove, she cites, was one piece broken up. She says he has also come home and without cause upset, the table, spilling the food on the floor, and breaking the dishes. She says he has never provided her with a proper home, and that his conduct, has been such that they have been. shunned by the neighbors and com ‘ pelled to move from houre to house, being unable to procure a Louse fit for swine to live in. They have had nine . children, five grown to manhood and womanhood, now caring for themselves. Four of the younger children are Bertha, aged twelve; Osie, aged—, I and Albert and Alta (twins) aged six , Through the efforts of the Tri-State Sheriff’s association, of which Sheriff ’ Durkin is a member, a horse and bug-1 by stolen from the Heney livery bam at Avilla early in the week has been . recovered at Huntertown. The rig was taken by a stranger who declared he was in the employ of the G. R. a- 1. railroad and was left at Huntertown on the evening of the 29th. The stranger took a car at Huntertown, going to I Fort Wayne, saying that he would re-j turn later tp claim it. When he did ‘ not return to Huntertown, representatives of the Tri-State association got busy and soon located the owner through Sheriff Reicbelderfer and bis officers. Forty thousand blank forms for hunters' licenses have been prepared in the office of the state fish and game commissioner to be sent to the clerks of the various counties in prep- ; ation for the fall and winter hunting season, says an Indianapolis dispatch.
