To those unacquainted with the factsin this case the above paragraph means it tle or nothing. \ind it, however, there is n st f rare sensational interest, to give which in detail would require al columns of space. students of local lore may re r that in May last a suit was com ed by Rev. Mr. Cochran for divoree from his wife, Kate Cochran, The mat- ter was kept out of the public press and has consequently never been aired. A few weeks later Mrs, Cochran's attorneys filed & motion in the district court to compel the plaintiff to make more spe- cific charges. The attorneys for the Rev. Cochrane they propose to do this with a vengeance, A STRANGE STORY. y of the Rev. Mr. Cochran’s won wedded life is a strange and, thongh well nigh incredible. is borne out by facts in every mstance. His side of the case is reproduced partly from the divoree peti tion and partly from his own state- t Cochran is, or was, a Congrega- tionalist minister and for ~l|n~|xln pastorate here, He remove years ago from Wisconsin, where, ?'nun;_ days, he had the repu seing one of the most cloquent y in the state. He is now ove f age and v feeble, though s sound almost as in his younger days. Some years ago he re- tired from the pulpit, desiring to end his days quictly and removed from the cares of pastoral toil. His first wife was dead and his grown up children wi 1 mar- ricd. HE FOUND A W A few months ago, affuirs being in this condition, Mr. Cochran determined to commit matrimony. He thought that if he could get a wife who unu)d n':uo for him and make the remainder of his d pleasant, he had better do so. He east about, accordingly, for a partner.

CRU LY UNDE IVED. Scarcely had Mr. Cochran lived with his wite o day before, as he claims, he found that I lly deccived in his rosy hue xpectations of what mar- ried life was to be. According to his story, she proved to be not onl vulga \m-.s woman, of brutal treatment of him, but a 1z | range, with the aid of ink. The correspondenc nguage on 1 he claims, was simply .Im_,umng in 1ts vilene Very often, it 1s alleged, Mrs, Cochran would ln ak into the room where he was eng: votions and break up his praying with n series of ribald songs and jests, Furthermore, 1t is alleged, the woman, who was younger than her spouse by half a century, was neeustomed to treat him i cruelty, taking advantag strength to accomplish her purpo: 1zed husband bore all these (nh ulations for weeks without . ing n word about them to his fr ¥inally, however, he could stand it no Inngm‘, and commenced divorce proceedings in the district court. Hoping o keep the story of his married life from the public his original petition con- tained no allegations in support of his claims, except those of cruelty. The llllmuu)s for I\lrn Cochran have called for “‘more facts,” and the attorneys have propared an_amenditory petition which outlines in detail the facts given above. TRIED TO KILL HIM. The trouble which caused the Rev. Mr Cochran's arrest occurred yesterd His version of the affair is that he was l)urillln[, his devotions in his study, hav- ng locked the door to keep his wife out. he demanded entrance, which he re- luu(-d Enraged beyond measure, she took an axe and broke in the door Then she made a rash at him with the uplifted axe, saying at the same time “I've a good mind %0 kil you,: you — — — Mr. Cochran wrenel hwl the axe from her, and met her assault ould, He did not handle h \\vlh soft gloves and the consequence was thatshe receiyed in- juries upon which she bases her com- plaint.

They were “fired" from several well known large hotels for fmproper relutions, Finally Ruhl de- serted her, and she found her way back to Nebraska, where she told heracquaint- nees that Kubl was dead.
