Mistreated Wife Seek Divorce.
A rather sensational divorce case
has just been Hied in the County
Clerk' ofOoe, tlie action being
brought by Mlna Batty against her
husbaid, Ben. Batty. The nnhappy
couple were wedded Joly 8. 1883, at
Green River, Wyoming. For the
past Ave year they have resided in
Oregon. She allege that her hog
baud ha treated her in a croel and
inhuman manner, rendering life bur
densome. She claim that her hus
band i an Englishman aud that be
doee sot entertain the American idea
that womeu are entitled to be treated
with kindness and ooortesy, but holds
that tbey should be compelled to do
unwomanly labor and generally to be
absolutely subservient to the whims,
wishes and passions of their hnHbands.
She avers that he ha been crocs,
overbearing, insulting, grumbling
and exacting and hi niaonei towards
her and their seven children has been
very abusive and he indulges in vio
lent paroxysm of anger, totally refus
ing to ooutrol or restrain himself and
acting, when nndcr the influence of
anger, more like an insane person
than a reasonable beiDg and at inch
times ha ha always beeen exceedingly
cruel and abnslve to the wife and
children. She declare that he has at
various times inflicted oroel and in
human punishment upon the children
in case where the children were in no
wise blamabl,nd back in Nebraska
he pushed his wife into a ohair and
sat upou her. In December, 1905 he
struck bar over the bead with bis fist
and otherwise cruelly beat her. She
ays he ues profane language toward
her and tha children and call her all
kinds of vile names in their pretence!
much to her humiliation and morti
fication, causing her ontold mental
suffering. She affirm tbat she and
the said children are actually afraid
of him. She tell of hi being away
for some eight montba and when the
yoongest "child was very " ill he re
turoedhome, last April, for a few
day, bot waa drinking and abniing
the family. Ho then left and has not
been back. The wife asks the ooort to
release her from the bonds of matri
mouy ; give her oustody of the seven
children, Clifford, aged la, Goldie,
10, Sylvia. 14, Clyde, 13, Ernest, 10,
Mildred, 7 and Pearl 9; that she be
given title to the "Dry Diggings"
nd "Mary E, " mining claims which
she tells of her husband owniug and
which are reputed to be worth f 10,000,
but which in reality are ooly worth
aboot $400; aod for suoh other relief
as the court may deem fit and proper.
The husband has been personally
served with a summons and admits
snch servloe.
Taxes Being Promptly Paid.
Nowithstandlng the "bard tiroes,

And although he found that the de

wheu the books were closed, a few
