With a rainfall of approximately

inches, to be exact—all previous rec-
ords for this season of the year have
been broken and smashed to smither-
eens- So much rain has fallen that
the ground Is soaked to a great Mepth J her part-
oration is necessary, Mrs. East is
now id Kansas, it is said.
East alleges that it was soon after
their marriage that trouble began and
things have been "popping” ever since
that time, until October 25, when his
wife left her bpd and board. Right
off the reel, according to East’s story,
his wife began to abuse him in spite
of the fact that he weighs around 170
pounds and appears able to handle
himself pretty well.
Anyway, he charges extreme cruelty
in the first count and says that the
Mistress not only continually "ap-
plied vile and opprobrious epithets to-
ward this plaintiff both in private and
in public places, to Ms great mental
humiliation and pain,” but that she
had often abused him by “cleaning
up” In other ways, putting him down
for the count with a heavy glass
pitcher on one occasion, and putting
him to flight with a knife at one time
and a fork at another.
East claims in his petition that he
has done everything within his power
to make life worth while for the wife

Denver, Colo., Dec. 5—This city
awakened this morning to find traffic
blocked with more than two feet of
snow. Trains are unable to leave the
stations. Service on most railroads

jpart to provocate any wrong-doing on'l'lowa will be able to open a pathway

and floods have been threatening
since Monday night.
Dr. A. P. Owen, the weather man,
comes forward wtlli another record,
declaring that the rainfall for the past
three months has been greater than
for the same period of time since the
local government weather bureau was
established several years ago. Old
timers who have lived in this section
for a quarter 6t a century declare the
rainfall has been the greatest in a
quarter of a century. The dry, parch-
ed ground that has been almost bar-
ren of moisture for three years is not
soaked and will continue to impound
moiature, for the promise is made
that the "wet spell” 1b not over.
Where is the sun? That question
has been frequently asked since Mon-
day, the last day of sunshine. Since
that time the eun has been screened
by heavy, black clouds that have been
distributing rain over this section al-
most continually. There is no cold
wave in sight and it may be several
days before a (rigid atmosphere comes
aldng to halt the storm and drive the
‘raTn clouds away. The rainfall would
have been of Inestimable value had It
come along four or five months ago;
still, It means much to the crops of
next year, betides furnishing a plen-
tiful supply 6f ywter for drilling op-
eration* In the oil country.
The rain, however, is effecting con-
ditions in the oil fields, and as a re-
sult many men are temporarily out
cf employment- There is a vast am-
ount of Work to be done in the fields
throughout this section in the new
development of leases, teaming, fit-
ting up leases for the wintered other
branches of work, but the condition
oL the roads make it almost impos-
4Uc to roach the leases. The mud
along the country roads is from eight
to ten inches deep. It is stated that
a team and wagon was found strand-
ed In the mud several miles east of
Bfj^tlMViile yesterday and another
ream nad to help pull them out of the
mndhole. If rain does not soon let
up'.add the sun appear to help dry up
the roads It will represent a big loss
to oil-country workers.
Residents of this city, in fact the
whole of Washington county, are
brought face to face with a condition
now as to just what the need of good
roads means to this county. If sub-
stantial roads were to he had at this
time traffic Would not be delayed, oil-
country workers would not be tempo-
rarily out of employment, and it would
be possible for people living in the
country to reach the city. The con-
dition of the roads is causing some
apprehension among the business men
and others In this city.
He charges Mrs. East with Intimacy
witii other men and states that on
orie occasion she had told him that
she had had illicit relations with other
men before they were married and
“that one of the men had given her
money and valuable presents since
the plaintiff and defendant had been
married.”
As a result of all these tilings East
feels warranted in seeking a separa-
tion and asks the courf to grant him
a divorce on the above grounds.

Most sensational charges are made
by Denver East against his better

this morning. The Easts have been
residents of Bartlesville for some time
but the sea of life hat; set been as
calm and peaceful as it might have

place in this city only a few months

According to the petition. East and

and since that time things have been

Sh! Have you heard it—the story
of the capture of a burglar on Chick-
asaw at 4 o’clock this morning?
Attorney J. R. Charlton and Dr. C.
R. Wollomes carried away the honors
in the capture and were ably assisted
by others in the neighborhood.
It was while the rain was coming
down the hardest at about 4 a. m.
when Mr. Chariton, it Is said, was
aroused from his sleep, and glancing
across to the Woollomes home de-
tected a light as though there might
be a fire. He threw an overcoat over
his shoulders and went to the door
and as he opened It he saw three or
four people standing on the Wool-
lomes porch and was Invited to come
and join the party, as they needed his
aid in capturing a burglar. The party,
all attired in negligee, formed a squad
with Dr. Wollomes in the lead with a
.22 calibre rifle.
Quietly, but determinedly, they
made their way down the walk, pad-
dling through the rain to the Dooley
home, where his burglarship was sup.
posed to be. Dr. Woollomes, it is said,
volunteered to go to the rear of the
house and “shoot him dead” as he
came out while Mr. Charlton was to
enter the front way and put the night
prowler to flight.
Mr- Charlton is said to have crawl-
ed stealthily through a window and
lighted the gas, making his way from
room until he came to the living room.
Mrs. Dooley said she was certain
there was a burglar in the house as
she had “heard him fall over some-
tW*g.”
When Mr. Charlton opened the liv-
ing room door he saw the floor strewn
with something white and on entering
the room he looked up and saw that
the damp weather had caused the
plastering to fall onto a table, which
had cause the noise and started the
search for a burglar.
Hundreds of tradesmen and theatre-
goers were unable to get home and
remained down town all last night.
The schools are as desolate today as
in midsummer.
The snow continued all morning
With no prospect of abatement. Simi-
lar conditions are reported from
towns in central and southern Colo-
rado
At 7 o’clock last night the United
States weather bureau reported from
twenty to twenty-four Inches of snow
had fallen in the city and suburbs
with no prospect of a cessation for at
least ten hours.
Street car traffic was completely
blocked early in the evening.
Public buildings were thrown open
to accommodate those who were un-
the future and that they will
ready when that time comes.
Chief Allen, stated there would bo
no “tilting’’ and that the order was
to be a permanent one. Proprietors,
while admitting that It ntnv effect
their business to some extent, were
ready to comply with the order. Sev-
eral had already abolished them.
According to Chief Allen several
complaints have been made by moth-
ers who declared their sons, all of
them under sixteen yrars of age were
"playing” the boards. They pointed
out that it was a form of gambling
and as such should not ho allowed to
operate. One mother told the chief
that her son spent every rent he
could get playing the boards and
never won. It is not known whether
or not the fact that he was a loser
had anything to do with her making
formal complaint.

These conclusions are reached in
ian opinion made public here yester-
day by Charles R. Warren of Detroit,
chairman of the legal committee, ap-
pointed by the executive committee of

The executive committee in Wash-
ington, May 24, last, adopted a reso-
lution requesting the chairman to call
a meeting of the national committee,
to be hold within sixty days after the
expiration of the special session of
congress convened In March, 1913.
The national committee will consider
among other things proposed plans
for party reorganization- The legal
committee was named to make a de-
tailed examination of the questions
that would arise. Mr. Warren, who
wrote the opinion now submitted, Is
a new member of the r.atiohal com-
mittee. He was one of the lawyers
for the United States In the arbitra-
tion with Great Britain before the
Hague Tribunal of the North Atlantic
fisheries controversy. The opinion is
concurred in by the other members of
the legal committee.
In reaching his conclusion Mr. War-
ren quotes extensively from national
conventions of the party from that of
1856 to 1912.

Postmaster M. T. Kirk and his able
corps of assistants are haviug the
most strenuous time of their lives in
handling the tremendous business in
the local office, but they are giving
splendid service and patrons are ex-
pressing themselves as being highly
pleased with the service.
Business began increasing during
November and Is now going at full
•peed. This is the first Christmas
since the parcel pest department went
into effect and that the service is be-
ing taken advantage of is evidenced
by the hundreds of packages which
are now passing through the local of-
fice In preference to the express com-
panies, although the latter are quite
busy.
Extraordinary preparations have
been made for the handling of -4h*
parcel post business by the post office
department and everything will be
done to accommodate the public. Spe-
cial carriers are now used In Bar-
tlesville to handle the increased bus-
iness and tliis corps will most likely
be increased. A wagon will be used
at Christmas to make deliveries and
it is possible that the changes which
are to be made increasing the weight
in packages will necessitate a wagon
