Sometime between this date and the close of the May term of coart Cyras Coleman of near Coleman station may get 'he idea out of his head, if he really entertains it, that a citizen of this state can have two wives at one time. An incident last week, when wife No. one preferred a serious charge against him, and his incarceration in the county jail since, may set him to thinking. According to the facts brought out at a hearing before E qaire Irvin M. Hoover, at HooverBville, last Thursday, Coleman was married to a Mrs. Rhoads of Stouycreek township in the early six tiet, her husband having lost his life in the war, or at any rate he never returned to ner. Her maiden name wasSpangler. To her union with Coleman several children were born, all of whom are now grown. Some years ago Mr. and Mrs. Coleman moved to Lorain, Ohio, where he secured employment in the steel works. On account of some family troubles, with which each blames the other, they separated, and Coleman returned to this county, she remaining in the west. Later she went to Johnstown with relatives, evidently not losing eight of her husband.Ia January of this year Coleman wasagain married, it is alleged, to Mrs.Ida Peterman of Shade township, widow of Daniel Peterman. At the hearing Coleman denied that he was married to the second woman, but admitted living with her.In default of bail Coleman was com-; mitted to jail.
