Says Chalmers Physician Had Two Families.

A suit has been filed at Monticello by Ella M. Wells, of Eagletown, Hamilton* county, to contest the ownership of the property of the late Dr. Isaac E. Wells, of Chalmers. She alleges that the doctor was married the second time after deserting her and without securing a divorce. To. Dr. Wells and his first wife three children were born, all now grown. He left his wife about 17 years ago. He was followed for a while. After he had been married the second time his first wife made preparations to sue him in Marshall, where he was then living, but he disappeared and could not be found. The present Mrs. Wells does not have niuch to say except that the doctor secured a divorce in the west and they were legally married. A girl, now 14, was born to the second wife of Dr. Wells. *
