Last Thursday evening a Sleeth woman filed an affidavit against her husband and a woman of Yeoman, on a very interesting charge. The defendants were located east of Yeoman by a relative and taken back to Sleeth where they were later taken into custody by Deputy Sheriff Charles McCrary and Marshal Hubbard and taken to Delphi and placed in jail. It is contended that the man from Sleeth has been paying undue attention to the Yeoman woman since her separation from her husband.

Both accepted the situation very good naturedly and were in good spirits all the way to town.

Friday morning Justice Collins fined the woman $5 and costs for adultery and gave the man a fine of $10 and costs on the same charge. Both had entered plea of guilty.
