Landers, George W. vs Nellie V. Landers. The plaintiff, formerly resident in Centerville, now resides in Shenandoah, being employed as a railroad conductor. Cruelty and inhuman treatment and desertion are the alleged causes for action. The couple were married at Osceola in 1901, and for a time lived in Centerville. When Mr Landers was compelled by his work to move to Shenandoah, his wife refused to follow him, but instead, according to the petition, has been using all the salary he has received and has run up other bills in the stores which he is unable to pay; that his wife refuses to write him or tell how his two daughters, 14 and 16 years of age [or 12 and 14], are getting along; but writes only when she wishes railroad passes and then refuses to sign her name, that through spite she refuses to sign a quitclaim deed to the property he wishes to transfer and give good title to. The conductor’s side of the case is set forth in the law papers by Ferguson Barnes and Ferguson of Shenandoah.

The wife answers that the money furnished is insufficient for support of herself and two daughters, denying cruel treatment, but remaining silent on the claim of desertion.
