WIFE SEEKS A DIVORCE
Kensington Woman Brings
Charges Against Husband on Statutory Grounds.
Saloonman Is Dead? James Garret, a switchman on the Illinois Central, while standing on a box car at Ninety-fifth street, lost his footing when an engine Jarred the car on which he was standing. He fell to the ground sustaining several painful injuries. He was taken to the South Chicago hospital. Garret lives at 6889 Jefferson avenue.
An Interesting suit for divorce pro
ceedings has been filed in the circuit
court by Mrs. Henry Herberts of Kensington, who asks for a divorce from her husband Henry, on the grounds of
cruel and inhuman treatment. The tes
tlmony in some places is rich and Is
very interesting to an outsider. Mrs
Herberts asserts that on the evening of Jan. 1, 1908, when her husband poured water down her back when she was about to retire and when she screamed he told her to continue would mean
her instant death, as he would shoot
her.
Following this attack she says her husband chased her around the room with a butcher knife threatening to
cut her throat If he caught her. She
asserts that she was successful in
keeping away from him, thus saving
her life. In other sheet, Mrs. Herberts says her husband neglected her for other women and that he was a frequent visitor at the different resorts of Twenty-second street and Armour avenue. She further says that her hus
band at one time brought one of the inmates of a down town dive to their home and introduced her as his cousin
from the east. Then she gives a graphic
description of what followed.
It Is said Mr. Herberts denies all of
these charges and says that his wife has made false charges. A large num
ber of Kensingtonltes will be down town to hear the trial when It comes up for hearing.

Tl IRJUREDAT MILLS Fly Wheels Catches Arm of Man in Wisconsin Steel Plant.
For the past week prairie fires have made their appearance all over Calumet Heights. One of the fires was set near the South Chicago hospital which is situated at Ninety-second street and Oglesby avenue and It was only for the quick thinking of one of the nurses that a panic was averted.
The fire it is thought was set by some small urchins who take a delight In seeing them burn, the nurse who was on outside of the hospital at the time noticed the grass burning and at once took a broom and started to pu out the blaze, she succeeded only after a severe fight as the wind was fanning the flames all the time. The nurse was burned a little about the hands but not serious and the patients
did not know of the fire at all.
One of the fires set by some one set fire to a house on Stony Island avenue
and the fire department was summoned to put it out.

One man was seriously and another slightly injured yesterday afternoon at the Wisconsin Steel company's plant in South Deering. The first accident occurred shortly after noon when Per-
scheun Valemere, 10812 Torrence avenue, sustained a crushed arm while operating an unloading machine in the south end of the plant. Valemeres' right arm was caught between two fly wheels and before he could release it his arm had been badly crushed. The man waa take nto the South Chicago hospital where it will be necessary to amputate his arm. The second accident occurred about 3 o'clock when Henry Peterson, an employee in the machine shop, was struck by a flying piece of iron and sustained a severe scalp wound. His wounds
were dressed by a physician and later he was taken to his home In Pullman.
A case of utter destitution came to the notice of the police of South Chicago last night when Mrs. Mary SczpkoskI, 8557 Sherman avenue, applied for aid to bury her five-months-
old child which died yesterday evening. Six months ago the unfortunate women was deserted by her husband and since then she has heard nothing of him. A month after he absconded, a fourth child was born. The mother and her four little children lived as best they could, but yesterday the
youngest child died after having a siege
with the extreme heat of last Tuesday.
The county will take care of the woman and her dead child until the family Is in btter circumstances.

To Organized Labor And Its Friends
On the 8th day of August, 1908, an!
opportunity will be presented you of selecting by ballot, without Interfer- i ence of party machines, the candidates you wish to represent your affiliations
at the election in November. If the
voters wish to retain this political in
dependence, won for them after a long
and bitter struggle last year, it is essential that all go to the polls and vote their party nominations accord
ing to their own convictions.
In this connection, we fail to per
ceive the justice of the outcry about
the various machines selecting slates. The machines have the same rights to
recommend tickets or slates as the
Municipal Voters' League or the South Chicago Trades and Labor Assembly.
We do, however, condemn any attempt
on the part of machines to restrict the
number of candidates for the various
offices. This is the greatest evil with
which the voters are faced, and it remains for them to put it out of the power of bosses to punish any good men who have the temerity to contest
for places on the party tickets against
their wishes.
