WIFE CHARGES DIS RESPECT TO FAMILY Property Rights and Cuslody of Three Cqildren Are Involv ed in Suit. Continued from Tuesday, August 12 Charging cruel and inhuman treat ment and claiming that her husband has been guilty of disrespect to her and her family, Marie Linderman has started suit in the county circuit court against C.

It is alleged that the defendant choked the nlaintiff on one occasion. telling her that he would kill- her and that she ought to die. On another occasion, according to the complaint, the defendant left his home for Leb anon, informing the plaintiff that "if you tell anyone I will knock you through the wall," repeating his threat of killing her. The plaintiff alleges that by reason of the defendants threats she left her home, fearing violence, and went to her father's home where she has since resided. It is alleged that the defend ant came there and by force carried off the three children. The plaintiff asks the court for $40 per month for the care of the child ren and $500 to provide for them and to pay for attorneys fees. Attorneys Weatherford and Wtatherford repre sent the plaintiff. PRUNE CROP WILL BE RIG ONE THIS SEASON County Fruit Inspector Rum baugh Says That Heavy Yields Are Sure.
