DIVORCE SUIT
----------
(Special From Manilla)
Yesterday in the Rush circuit court, Arnold G. Haehl filed a complaint
for divorce from his wife, Lora M. Haehl. The parties reside south of Manilla, near the Shelby county line. The plaintiff asks the custody of the five-year-old son, Loyd B. Haehl.
The charges are rather sensational in character. It is alleged that Mrs. Haehl has been guilty of intoxication and of acts of an immoral nature. The parties were married in 1898, and lived together until last Friday. Mr. Haehl is a son of Fred J. Haehl and is well known in Shelby county.

ASKS FOR DIVORCE
FROM GEORGE HAEHL
----------
Mrs. Nora Haehl, Whose Husband
Fractured
Her Right Arm
and Took Their Year Old
Child, Has
Filed Complaint.
----------
Mrs. Nora Haehl, after suffering brutal treatment at the hands of her burly
husband, George Haehl, a bartender, has filed a complaint for
divorce. Notice requesting his appearance before Judge Sparks
at Rushville, has been served upon Haehl, in connection with a complaint asking
for restraining order seeking to prevent him from taking charge of the
child. The divorce proceedings and the proceedings for a restraining order
are in the hands of the law firm of Hord & Adams. The notice
requesting the appearance of Haehl before Judge Sparks to defend himself against
the order was served by Deputy Sheriff Ritchey. The report
that a restraining order had been served is erroneous.
Since the
story of the brutal assault of the big husband upon his little wife -- a woman
weighing less than 100 pounds -- the police have made no effort whatever to
apprehend Haehl. Indignation over the cruelty of Haehl is rife in the
neighborhood of west Washington and Maple streets. The police have been
roundly criticized for their apparent listlessness in the matter, when persons
committing less brutal and less serious offenses are promptly arrested and
brought up to justice.

CHARGES NOT FILED
BY MRS. HAEHL YET
-------
Woman Whose Arm Was
Broken Yesterday by
Her Angry Husband Seeks
to Get Possession of Child
First -- Arrest May Follow.
----------
No warrant has been sworn
out against George Haehl by his wife, whom Haehl is said to
have beaten yesterday with a severity that resulted in a broken arm for the
woman. After the encounter, Haehl is accused of taking their one year old
child and carrying it away. Mrs. Haehl spent the greater part of today
consulting attorneys and other representatives of the law, seeking advice upon
the best method of obtaining possession of her child. It is understood
that Haehl, who is employed at the saloon of William Fleming, is
still in the city.
Mrs. Mohr, a
neighbor of the Haehl's said she went into the Haehl household immediately after
the fight and found Mrs. Haehl lying on the floor with the blood streaming from
her head, where she declared she had been struck by her husband with a stove
poker. Mrs. Haehl also asserts that her arm had been broken by a blow from
the poker. As Haehl left the house with the child in his arms he said,
according to Mrs. Mohr, "I guess I have fixed her this time."
The fight between Haehl and his wife is said to have resulted from a quarrel of
long standing, in which Haehl has had grievances on his side of the case.
It is thought Mrs. Haehl will take proceedings toward getting possession of her
child. In case she cannot do that she will probably cause the arrest of
her husband on a criminal charge.
Haehl declares his wife
attacked him with a butcher knife while intoxicated.

Jake Haehl, who was the defendant in a divorce suit in the Circuit Court yesterday, which cause is now under advisement, celebrated the occasion by
getting "fuller’n a goose" yesterday evening, and going down to the
house where his wife resided about half-past nine, he whooped her up. He was
gathered in by Constable Alf Isaacs and spent the remainder of the evening in
the "cooler." This morning he was brought before Squire Higgins, on a
charge of disturbing the peace, to which he plead guilty, and was fined and
costed in the sum of seven dollars.
