II. W. Wllley and Ella M. Kreshel, or as
sho has been known In tho eyes of tho pub
lie nnd the law, Mrs. It. W. Wllley, woro
married last night by Justice Bryant. It
was one of those cases of once mnrrlcd,
marrying again to ninko doubly sure.
Four years ago last August these two
were married In this city by Justlco Vlen.
At tho tlmo Wllley had a wlfo living In
England who had refused to come to this
country to live with him. Possibly fearing
some trouble might como to disturb the
declining ybnrs of his life, Wllley recently
secured a divorce from Elizabeth Wllloy,
tho English wlfo, on the grounds of de
sertlon. lie was then free to remarry the
woman who has been known ns his wlfo for
more than four years, nnd the ceremony
was pronounced last evening,
It Is said that tho English wlfo long since
refused to havo anything to do with illey
and that alio married several years ago to
nnother Englishman, and when last heard
of was living In South Amorlca. Wllloy
left her nearly half a century ago to seek
his fortunes In tho new world. When ho
was ready ho sent for her to como to hlra,
but sho rofused. It is said that later ho
sent an order for her transportation, but
still she was obdurate. She eventually re
turned the order.
Then a long period elapsed, during which
Wllley could gain no rcsponso to tho lot
ters he scut ncross tho Atlantic. Ono day
he was summoned to the postofflce, where
ho found a package with 60 cents duo for
postage. It 1b Bald thnt this contained the
letters which ho had been writing to his
legal wife. Ilotween two of tho lotters was
a slip of paper, giving him a farewell which
was decidedly moro forcible than It was ele
gant or loving,

SUIT OX TAX KI2HHKT CONTItACT.
iIuiIkc Wheeler TnUes Cunningham
Cne Under Advisement.
Three sessions of the district court were
required yesterday for the hearing of Mie
Injunction suit against Cunningham and
others on the tax ferret contract. It was
late last night when the case was finally
taken under advisement by Judge Wheeler
Tho taking of evidence had dragged along
until late In the nfternoon, when the at
torneys began their nrgumcnts, and these
occupied the attention of the court for the
remnlnder of tho nftcrnoon nnd tho evening,
The arguments In the hcnrlng on the pe
tition for the Issuance of the permanent In
Junction to restrain the county officers from
cnrrylng out the contract made by tho
Board of Supervisors with Tax Ferret Cun
ningham, whereby ho was to receive 50 per
cent of tho money collected as his com
pcnsatlon, followed practically the same
line as those used In tho hearing on the
petition for the temporary Injunction.
Tho defense yesterday brought out the
theory of estoppel agAlnst Frank Shlnu
nnd J. J. Hess, tho petitioners, clalml'ig
that they had sat quietly by for eight
months and allowed the ferret to go nhend
under the contract to his damage. To this
tho petitioners replied that they had had no
notice of the contract, claiming that the
publication of the proceedings of the Board
of Supervisors In certain papers is not a
notlco in tho eyes of the law.
The petition under which Shlnn nnd Hess
are nsklng for tho restraining order ws
filed last January nnd sets up four rrasors.
It argues that the contract went beyond
the powers of the Board of Supervisors;
that It was against tho public policy In that
It bartered away tho public funds; that
It guarantees the payment of tho costs In
suit and thus tends to stir up litigation,
and that it could not be enforced, as 'he
only statute then In force was unconstitu
tlounl, In that It authorized tho treasurer
to demand delinquent taxes and Institute
suits for the collection of the same wltho it
requiring a notice.
Tho ense ut bar has resolved Itself Into n
legal battle and tho main part of tho cvi
dence was In support of certain contcn
Hons rcgnrdlng legal Interpretations. The
nrgumcnts of the lawyers wore mainly clta
tlons from the code and decisions In this
nnd other states.
One of the Incidents of the morning scs
slon was when Mr. Shlnn showed that
Cunningham Is working without a bond. He
then drew out that the man who tnkes caru
of the building, tho man whom Auditor
Iiiuoks, who was then on the stand, stvlod
the Janitor, Is compelled to furnish n bond
In the sum of $1,000 for the faithful per
formance of his duties.
The facts of tho contract that It has
been annulled by the Roard of Supervisors;
that Cunningham has about completed tho
work under the contract, and that that
work required a man of considerable Icarn
Ing nnd experience nro admitted by both
parties to tho suit. During tho nfternoon,
however, considerable evidence was Intro
duced on the value of tho work. Attornty
Sluss, on the stand ns an expert witness,
stated that such work is worth $400 a
month. When Treasurer William Arnd was
questioned on the same point he snld le
could do the work If he hud time. He
said he could litre a deputy In this city
who could do tho work of hunting through
tho records for the tax-shlrkcrs. Ho then
called attention to tho outside work, the
Information which comes from those asso
ciated with Cunningham In other counties
Mr. Arnd refused to name a value for tho
work. He also spoke of the popular feel
ing against the ferret.
Tax Ferret Cunningham sworo thnt he
had worked in ten counties In Iowa before
coming to Pottawattnralo and that ho has
an exchange system with men In Indiana,
Ohio, Michigan and Iowa, advantages which
would not be open to the treasurer. He
sold his list of mortgages In Polk county
for $130. His mall Friday brought him a
list of 100 mortgages.
The petition asks for an order restrain
ing tho county olllcers from carrying out
tho terms of the contract nnd paying to
Cunningham SO per cent of money collectod
from tho discoveries of delinquent taxes
resulting from Cunnlnghnm's work. If the
court refused to nnnul the entire contract
tho petition asks thnt tho omccrs bo re
strained from paying Cunningham more
than 15 per cent, the proportion fixed ty
the last legislature for such work.
Judgo Wheeler has taken tho matter un
der advisement and will not give his de
clslon for several days.

Petition for liijuiietlon Annlnnt Its
Further Operation.
Tho officials are after the saloon which
Is run by Frank Walklnton, on -Broadway,
Just west of Sixth street. Basing his action
on tho cvldcnco produced before tho grand
Jury recently, County Attorney Klllpnck
yesterday filed n petition for a temporary
Injunction ogainst the further operation of
tho saloon, which, it Is asserted, since tho
first of January to tho time of tho filing of
tho petition, hns done business In violation
of tho Inws of the state.
Tho last grand Jury returned an Indict
ment against Walklngton and a woman
named Leo Fraser, for maintaining the
saloon nnd wlno rooms connected. The two

apoBtlo of free love and opponent of matri
mony. She has Just surrendered to Cupid
and hor husband Is a boy of 19. Tho brldo
Is 34 years old.
"Well," sho says to her protesting
friends, with a shrup of her shoulders, "It
was love at Urn sl?ht, that Is nil, and my
husband Is manly enough to be tho husband
of any woman, no matter how strong,
minded."
Tho bride Is perhaps thn most dnrlm;
woman novcIUt In France. Into
all her books she baa woven a pro
test ngalnst marriage and n plea
for free love. Nevertheless ' she al
ways hai been a great favorite In tho
American colony, because she speaks Eng.
Ilsh and adores Americans. Her family is
one of the most aristocratic in France,
They entertain lavishly and Americans are
always present.
