THEY PARTED Venus Family Have Trouble Mrs. Carl Venus of Bluffton Deserts Her Home and Little Children.

t The Bluffton News tells the fol owing story of the trouble of Mr. . and Mrs. Carl Venus who formerly , lived in Decatur, Carl having worked in this office for a year or more: A sad 4 case of domestic trouble and the seeration of a well known young couple was brought to the ■ attention of the News today. The I parties referred to are Mr and Mrs. 1 Carl Vencis. The young wife left her home and the city Sunday evening and so far as could be' learned today her folks have not heard from her since. She left three small children, the oldest of whom is four years of age. Mr. Venis left this morning for his work in Anderson and the circumstances connected with the separation were furnished by a member of his faimly. As nearly as could be learned Carl was home from Anderson where he is employed in a printing office,to spend Sunday with his faimly. They had as guests for the day Mr. and Mrs. Ibaugh. a Hartford City printer and his wife. The latter left the 1 Venis home in time to catch the

5:45 interurban car and immediately after they left Mrs. Venis informed her husband that she had decided to leave home as she could not live with him any longer. According to his story he insisted on her staying with the children, saying that he would go away and would send his money to her. The wife was determined, however, and left home with her personal effects. Her grandfather. Mr. Jones, who had been staying with her, followed her and saw her board the interurban car at Wiley Avenue. It isl supixised she went to Hartford City, I Mr. Venis claimed that they did not have a quarrel. Before leaving this morning Mr. Venis placed his three children in his mother's care, also removing part of his goods to his parent’s home. Neighbors of the family say that the conple have had domestic troubles before and that they separated onoe or twice before this. From their stories they seem inclined to blame the husband. Another sad feature cf the case is that Mrs. Xenis’ father is lying sick and at the point of death. She is a daughter of A. L. Minehart, who has lung trouble with no hopes of recovery.
