A New Divorce Case.

Papers in a new diverse case, were filed Wednesday, m< ruing. The plaintiff is Martha A. Hickman, of Wheatfield and the defendant Frank Hickman, of Logansport. They were married Jan. 3rd, 1899. She left him Mar. 25th, 1899, and about Jan. 28th, 1900, returned to him on promise of better treatment. She alleges that he took her to a house of illrepute in Logansport, and wanted to compel her to earn their living therein. She makes other charges regarding his physical condition, and his actions towards her in reference thereto, which, if true, show him to be one of the vilest beasts that ever walked the earth in human form.
