In the suit of Mrs. Julia Montgomery
Pratt against D. M. Vlnsonhaler for $90 Off)
alleged damages, now filed In oounty court,
Mrs. Pratt re-echoes charges which ap
peared by Innuendo at least In the divorce
case when attorneys for Colonel James
Harvey Pratt charged too great activity
on the part-of 'Mrs. Pratt's then lawyers.
A fierce attack Is made upon Attorneys
Vlnsonhaler and Brome In the petition.
They are accused of having misrepresented
the nature of the pre-nuptlal contract to
Mrs. Pratt, with haying persuaded her into
signing a contract with them to sue for
divorce ami with having mismanaged the
litigation.
One of the Interesting things In the pe
tition Is the picture painted of the happy
domestic life of Mrs. Tratt before she was

j and for which Mr. Vlnnonhaler principally
and Mr. Brome partly also are blamed by
her. ,
Broke I Her Happy Home.
The plaintiff recites that she, "notwith
standing the great disparity of ages, dwelt
happily In a beautiful, comfortable home,
surrounded by every luxury." There was
alco enjoyed the society of hospitable
friends, whom she entertained and who en
ttrlalned her In turn. !
For the loss of this Messrs. Vlnsonhaler
and Brome are again blamed.
A large part of the legal document, which
is rn answer and cross-bill to Mr. Vin.
sor hater's suit, Is devoted by R. M. Fart
lett, the attorney who drew lt( to defending
himself against the charges of Vlnsonhaler
with respect to the way final settlement
a as brought about.
Another chapter Is devoted to early ef
forts to settle the Pratta' difficulties, which
"Colonel Pratt , and Colonel Pratt a
relatives desired to the end that further
publicity, scandal and 'disgrace might be
avoided." but which the lawyers who had
fastened themselves onto Mrs. Pratt
wanted to continue. '

The Wlllena arrived at Mobile October 18
last, having come down the oanal and river
enroute from Lake Michigan to the gulf.
From the mouth of the Mississippi It was
to have proceeded to Pensacola to get Its
owner, but rough weather In the gulf neces
sitated putting Into Mobile, the first port
In reach. It remained here until ut
Wednesday, when It left in tow of the tug
Leroy of Mobile for St Andrew's Bay, Fla.
Nothing further waa heard of the boat here
until last night, when news of It having
been wrecked waa received.
APPALACHICOLO, Fla., Jan. Jl.-The

cable, attempted to make St. Andrews and
went ashore. The tug then put to sea
