John Howe to Assist in Care Of His Wife and Child.

John Howe, the Medaryville brick mason, who married Miss Lillie Sheetz last March and then deserted her, and was arrested and brought here to answer a charge of desertion, has effected a compromise in the form of an agreement to help support his wife and their baby. He paid SSO down and will pay her $lO per month in the winter and sls a month in the summer for the support of the child. In company of an officer Howe was taken before his wife and the agreement which he—proposed was made good by his father, Richard Howe, signing the agreement. The agreement oniy holds good until he bfm paid her $350. While at the home of his wife he refused to even look at their child and in answer to her pleading that they live together he turned a deaf ear. Howe was married twice before and is alleged to have deserted both other wives. At the end of two years he can be sued for divorce and alimony.
