THE DAUNT DIVORCE.Testimony was heard by Judge Evans in the case of Robert Daunt against Addie Daunt. The plaintiff filed his petition in August, 1893, praying for divorce on the ground of extreme, cruelty. She was a widow, with a number of children by a former marriage. There were two families of children brought together by the seoond marriage, with the, very common result of family disagreements from conflict of interests. There were the many quarrels of such a union, testified to by all the witnesses. The witnesses tar one side easily offset those of the other's in the positiveness of their assertions and denials. Th^ plaintiff is an old soldier, drawing twelve, dollars per month pension, and this was the fourth marital adventure of the old veteran. Two of his wives died, the other got a divorce from him, which example he now desires to imitate. It seemed from the testimony that the old gentleman was a little “near” in his ideas of house,hold economies. One of the stories of cruel treatment appeared to be a threat merely on her part to ere,mate him after a baptism of coal oil. This was strongly denied. Judge Evans, after a lengthy review of the testimony, held the case for plaintiff had not been made out, and his petition would be dismissed. He would ^consider the matter of alimony and make an order as to that hereafter. E. E. Roney for nlaintiff: Amos Dve for defendant.
