Reid hat eued Cap tain John Reid for divorce, al leging cruelty at the ground for the action? She allegee the ie fearful of bodily harm and de ctaree he ha threatened her Mrs. Rent aaye er husband is werth considerable money and demand one-thfrd of hi earthly possession .She also demand 100 a month alimony. Captain Reid i new defend ant in an action for $5000 dam age instituted by William Mar tin, former husband of Mrs. Reid, and the defendant in the divorce proceedings just com menced. The trouble culminating in the divorce ease originated on the night of February 18, when Captain Reid chased an un known party down Seventeenth street and along Commercial to a saloon, where the man sought safety in an obscure roost at the rear of the building. Bertha B. Reid has filed suit for di vorce from Captain "Jack" Reid the well known launch owner. The paper in the ease were fiied yesterday with County Clerk Clinton. The plaintiff teU up the claim that she ha been treated In a cruel and inhuman man ner, and that her life has-been rendered unbearable. , AH the trouble occurred on the night of February 18, according to the com plaint. On this night. It wUl be re called, a sensational episode occurred. The incident has already been printed, and was in effect the threat of one man to shoot another, and the precipi tate flight of the man whose life had been threatened. It appears now that Captain Reid was the man whose In dignation caused the flight of the other man, and that the trouble had its In ception In an unexpected meeting of the two men, the other party then bav ins been In company with Mrs. Reid. Ai'ter Captain Reid had driven the sec end parly from sight, he Is said to have returned home and kicked in the door of his Wife's apartments, and the events . transpiring at that time are supposed to be the basis of Mrs. Reid's action for divorce. Abercrombie & Wilson represent Mr. Reid in her suit for divorce. The complaint recites that the parties were married at Seattle, December 14, 1903; that the defendant has subjected the plaintiff to cruel and Inhuman treat ment, particularly on the night of Feb ruary 18, at the Reid borne, 706 Frank lin avenue. The language of the torn plaint with reference to the alleged as sault on that night is as foliows: "Said defendant, in a violent and boisterous manner, kicked open the door of the room which plaintiff was occupying, and, without just cause or provocation, then and there assaulted, beat and bruised said plaintiff in a ! most violent and cruel manner, and hit her on the head and face and choked her so that the blood ran from her wounds then and there inflicted; and said defendant did then and there, anU on many and dlvera other occasions, heap and apply vie, obscene and op probrious name and epithets upon and to said plaintiff, and did then and there threaten to klU said plaintiff, and thereafter and on many diver occa sions did threaten and attempt to drive plaintiff from her house." I The conduct of the defendant la said to have resulted In great mental and physical suffering, and she alleges that she still fears bodily Injury at his hands. .' , - v The complaint recites that the de fendant owns one timber claim, the ex act, location of which Is to her un- 'known, and lot 8, block 5S, .McClure's Astoria; also that be Is the owner of the gasoline launch Fox. which f! valued at $4000; that he has $5000 H the First National bank; and It Is fur ther alleged Captain Reid' property nets him in rents about $500 per month. ' The complaint asks the court to grant the plaintiff $200 pending settle ment of the case and $100 a month thereafter as alimony, together with $250 attorneys' fees. She likewise de mands one-third of the estate of her husband. The case will doubtless be heard at the present session of the cir cuit court. V The domestic tribulations of Cap tain Reid and his wife constitute an un usual social drama. Mrs. Reid was formerly the wife of William Martin,. At the time of her separation from her former husband she kidnaped her child. Taking the boy from the apart ments of her husband, she hastened with hiin In a carriage to the eastern end cf the city, where she boarded a launch and fled to Keiso, ish. Some days later the husband learned the whereabout of the mother and son and went to Kelso. He found the boy at play in the yard of the home at which his wife was stopping, and, leaping the fence, secured the child and fled with him- A great outcry was raised and a mob followed him down the railroad track. When .-is pursuers caught np with him, Martin brought his rifle into play and threatened to kill ihe first man who Attempted to interfere with him. He briefly recounted to the mob that he was entitled to custody of his child, and there was no further effort to detain him. Afterwards Mrs. .lartln, who Is -aid lo be of prepos.vsing appearance, se cured a divorce from Martin and later man led Captain Reid. At this stase of the proceedings Martin filed sutt agalnut Captain Reid for $,1000 dam ages, alleging that the affections of his wife had been alienated by Captain Reid. That suit is now pending and will be tiled out at the present session of the circuit court. It is ' somewhat singular that the former Mrs. Martin should also at the same- time be the plaintiff in an action involving dam ages against the same party. The day following the trouble be tween Captain and Mrs. Reid the latter caused the captain's arrest on a charge of assault and battery. The complaint was filed In the justice's court and the case is sJt for bearing on Saturday, Radio Activity Discussed. Iienver.
