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, the taxpayers all over Josephine county are coming up to the county seat and are pa; lug their taxes iu a flue manner. Deputy Sheriff Smith has his work iu hand and he informs the Courier that it i truly remark able the way the cash is coming in. And although he found that the de linquencies footed up about $t'i000, wheu the books were closed, a few weeks ngo, yet in the meantime the amount has been very materially re duced by the property owners coming In aud suttliug up this delayed ac counting. The county commissioue would have ordered this list printed some weeks ago, had it not been for the series of holidays Now tbat the Goveruor ha deoided to call the holi day off next Saturday, the commit iouers will likely have a speoial meeting very rood and direct that the said list of ddinuuent taxpayers be duly printed, a required by law and then the property thus involved will b tola for the back taxes.
