In Judi;e SlabaURh's court by Mrs. Antoinette HIackman Is true, alio has had more than her sharo of worldly trouble. Mrs. HIackman snys her onto happy homo has been turned Into a tene ment of squalid misery. She charges that liquor has wrought the ruin. Mrs. lllackman is plaintiff In a damago suit against A. J. Oulbtgard, proprietor of a saloon at 1312 North Twenty-fourth street. Slio alleges that her husband, Charles 1'. lllackman, Is a common drunkard and that the defendant, by Belling htm liquor after ho becamo such, has violated the dram shop regulations. Damago Is askod In tho sum of $2,000. Elliott D. Evans and John W. Nlcholls, the saloon man's bondsmen, nro niado co-defendants. Tho trial Is being conducted In a spirited manner and Is at tracting more than ordinary attention. Nu merous witnesses appear for cither side. Mrs. lllackman sets forth ihot ebo has been married sixteen years, and that until nbout threo years ago her husband was a model man. Their homo lire was pleasant In every respect, sho says, and tho family had a good living, for tho husband had a regular Incoino of from $3 to per day. He fell Into the habit of frequenting tho defendant's saloon, tho petitioner asserts, and la the year 1S97 formed tho habit of getting drunk to such an extent that ho was unablo to tako earo of himself In tho streets or elsowhere. Ho went from bad to worse, Mrs. lllackman alleges, until at last he could not attend to his business and the wolf came to the door. Tho lllackmans havo one son. who Is employed as a messenger boy. Tho mother states ahat her boy Is deprived of attending school by reason of his father's condition. Mrs. lllackman's mother, Mrs. Hoover, was on tho wltnws stand for an hour or moro yesterday. She swore shp had known lllackman for over twenty years, and that until ho commenced drinking ho was nn Ideal man. Who 11 in his cups, tho mother-in-law said, he would abuso his wife shame fully, and it Is said that on one occasion when sho was herlously ill ho treated her harshly The defense does not admit tht uuy blame attaches for lllackman's ruin. If he Is ruined, but that he wrought his own downfall. Ho may havo bought drinks in Qulstgard's saloon tho snmo as any other casual customer who drops In, but It la specifically denied that thero was over nny effort on tho part of tho proprietor or any of bis employes to induce lllackman to tipple. Ono of tho chief features of tho de fense Is tho charge that Mrs. lllackman and her husband havo entered Into a conspiracy to get money from tho saloon man. SALT I..VKU CITY CATTM2 IKAI Suit AkiiImnI 11 limit en How Mini In InilKe Miiiiki'i-'n Court. Tho trial of tho caso of Matthew Cullcn against Simon J. Loncrgan oud others was begun In tho United States circuit court yes terday before Judgo Munger. Tho ense Is ono growing out of a cattle deal la Salt I.nku In 1888. In December of that year Lonorgan and others, engaged In the cattle business, wold their fctock and business to a llrm which, after taking chargo of their pur chase, alleged that. It had been swindled and brought Htilt against Lonergau nud others to recover a certain tum of money. Tho llrm was awarded f C.C00 and tho case was appealed, finally renchlng tho United States supremo court, whero the finding of the trial court was unstained. In order to perfect the appeal a supersedeas bond was necessary, and Mattthew Cullen nlgnod tho bond for Ixincrgou and hit fellow defendants. When tho Judgment was afllrmed Cullen paid the Judgment nnd costs, which bad grown In amount to about J 11.000. Meantime Loncrgan had moved to nroken How, Neb., whero ho engaged in business and purchased property, which ho afterward transferred to his wife. Slnco that t lino tho wlfo has disposed of tho property nnd tho prenent ownore resldo In various parts of the country. Tho suit Is to sot asldo tho deeds from Lonergan to his wlfo and all subsequent deod3 given by her, and that tho property bo declared subject to salo for tho purposo of paying tho debt of I.onor gan.

Connor, a local broker, for tho collection of $1,833.33, alleged to be due, havo been awarded a verdict by a Jurv In Judge Slabaugh'M court. Tho defense was that it was a deal In optloiiB and was there foro a geiubling debt, not tmbject to collec tion. Tho point ns to options was not es tablished, it appearing from tho evidence that tho money claimed was an overdraft ;n a' deal that was not based on futurity or options. Therefore the gambling phrase was eliminated from the case and the Judg ment rendered was tho same oh would havo been In an ordinary suit for collection of money. Tho courts have repeatedly decided that option dealing is gambling. IIAMvllll'S SANITY nt :r.sTio.i:n. I'eoullnr Cnc llefore .Indue Iveynnr Tiiken 1 nder Al vlxeiiieiit.
