Kane's Troubles

KANE'S TROUBLES

A Former Ann Arbor Tailor Thinks He Was Poisoned.

The Owosso Argus contains a notice of Archibald Kane's family infelicities. Mr. Kane formerly had a tailor shop in this city and married Miss Ellen Norton a well known young lady, the daughter of Mrs. Mary Norton. She died March 1898, and Mr. Kane married again. The Owosso Argus says:

"Archibald Kane, the Corunna tailor, brings his troubles into court. Through his solicitor J. H. Collins, he seeks divorce from his wife, Laura Kane, to whom he was married in March. Mrs. Kane persisted in having her grown up son live with the family. Kane said no, and then there was trouble. On the 11th of June, Kane became very sick and gradually grew worse. On Wednesday, the 14h, he grew very bad and his wife asked him to substituute her name ou his $1,000 insurance policy for that of his daughters'. He refused and she was furious. Wednesday night he asked for a bottle of whiskey that he might get relief from the severe sickess he was enduring. She gave him a bottle but he would not drink any of the contents, believing it to be drugged. The illmess then on him he believed to be due to lemonade doctored. Although weak he got out on the street and tried to find some one to whom he could trust the bottle with whiskey in, hoping to have it analyzed. He gave up the task and returned home. Later in the night he saw her take the bottle from his pocekt and going out doors she emptied the contents on the ground.

"He charges her with attempting to poison him."
