tragedy but the grand jury now In

married at Valentine, Neb., July 13,
1S95, and have five children ranging
from seven to nineteen years of age.

has at various times during their mar
ried life threatened to kill plaintiff

dren is also asked by Mrs. Pratt and
restoration of her maiden name,
Sarah Bell Truax.
