GONE WITH THE FUNDS

FOR THIS REASON THE HUSBAND WANTS A DIVORCE.

Two Divorce Cases Commenced in the Circuit Court Today to Swell the List for the Year.

Two divorce suits have been commenced in the circuit court, both of which seem to contain lots of fight. This is certainly true of the first one as all the possible preliminary skirmishes have been had and the troubles between the parties have been ventilated in justice courts.

Eli F. Cudabeck, an employee of the Ann Arbor road has by his solicitors, Randall & Jones, filed a bill to have the ties that bind him to his wife Mary F. , dissolved on the ground of cruelty. Mrs. Cudaback's maiden name was Mary F. Grierson. They were married Nov. 2, '67, at Moss Point, Jackson county, Mississippi, by a justice of the peace. They lived together until Oct. 27, '98. The result of their union were five children, Walter, aged 27, Homer 22, Rockie 20, Ada 16, Classie 12. He alleges that on August 16, '95, he was possessed of two real estate mortgages of $3,850 on property in Vernon, Shiawassee county and $500 in property at Santa Fe, New Mexico. It this time he was injured and the doctor told him he had better arrange his affairs as he would probably die. To save the trouble and annoyance of settling his estate he assigned these mortgages to his wife. After he recovered his wife did not return these documents. He was receiving $50 a month for his services on the railroad and $12 a month pension. In Aug. , 98, his son Walter, at Nogales, Arizona, soliciting aid, he deposited $800 at the Ann Arbor Savings Bank to the joint credit of his son Walter and his wife. At this time he owned a piano and other household goods to the value of $1,000. On Aug. 6, '98, his wife had the assignments of the mortgages recorded without his knowledge. On Oct. 24, Mr. Cudaback was called to Durand in the line of his duty. During his absence his wife removed all of the household goods, including the piano, excepting one bed and a few articles and had the stuff shipped to Nogales, Arizona. The mortgages she assigned to innocent parties. On leaving she also took her minor children along with her when she left for Arizona.

Mrs. Alta C. Jones, of Augusta, township, by her solicitors Randall & Jones, has filed a bill against Bennett A. Jones, asking for a divorce on the grounds of cruelty the complainants maiden name was Alta C. Pratt. The couple were married Aug. 22, 75. by Rev. Mr. Pierce, of Augusta, Washtenaw county. She alleges that the defendent is of an extremely jealous disposition and used personal violence, struck her and used language which is generally tabooed in polite society. She claims the defendant has $200 of personal property, for which she asks an injunction to restrain her husband from disposing of it. The parties lived together until Jan. 31, '99. Their union was blessed with two children Carlena C , aged 21, and Alva W. , 17.

The celebrated chancery case of Prof. James N. Martin, Col. Henry S. Dean, Dr. W. H. Jackson, Caspar Rinsey, Martha M. Smith, John R. Miner, Sophie Booth and Lucy Frothingham complainants, vs. A. H. Homes, defendant, has been discontinued by a stipulation. This was the case brought to restrain Mr. Holmes from running a livery stable in the residence portion of E. Liberty st. Judge Kinne once refused an injunction. Mr. Holmes conducted his livery stable in such sanitary, cleanly manner that the objectors to his business were satisfied.
