Laceyville Messenger notice: My wife Loretta ROSE having left my bed and board without just cause or provocation. I hereby forbid all persons trusting or harboring her on my account as I will pay no bills contracted by her after this date. Claude ROSE. There is a breach in the ROSE family but just the nature of the trouble Claude fails to take the public in with hin on. Ancient history has it that John ROSENGRANT years and years ago married one Maria PALMER out in Forkston Township and among the fruits of that marriage was one George ROSENGRANT. George then took a wife, Cora SPENCER and to them were added children and troubles. George purchased a house and lot out in Forkston and was visited by his cousin, Raymond PALMER and then the troubles doubled. Raymond PALMER removed to South Mountain making a home there for himself and Cora Spencer ROSENGRANT and Loretta ROSENGRANT, an offspring of George and Cora. The Scranton Republican published what purported to be a fac simile of the bargain entered into between the cousins, George and Raymond for the wife and that signed document was in the shape of a receipt for the deal of $2 and "thro in the child" and Loretta ROSENGRANT was the "throw in". Loretta grew up wild in Noxen and at the age of 13 years she loved not too wisely, Claude ROSE a youth of 22 summers and winters and Claude took to the high grass and the woods. Meanwhile Father George had come over to Tunkhannock bringing along with him a native lady from Manitoba and they made much local history, later separating and George wooed and won one of the young damsels of Tunkhannock township and located in Little Africa, out in Third Ward. When his daughter Loretta was wanting to find Claude ROSE a warrant was issued and placed in the hands of Charles VAUGHN as a special officer to execute it.

They attempted to track him in the woods around Forkston township, then Officer James P. HARPE was issued an alias warrant to go after him and found him. He was brought into Judge BARDWELL's office and met by Mr & Mrs George ROSENGRANT, Loretta ROSENGRANT and baby ROSE. After much discussion a marriage license was issued with father George consenting in the marriage of his 14 year old daughter to Claude ROSE, 23. They were married by Judge BARDWELL. This was the 2nd day of July 1906. Claude later took again to the woods and they separated.

One of the reliable citizens of West Tunkhannock is Owen MADEEN (MADDEN) who has resided in this country for 47 years, 45 of which were passed in Wyoming County. He was born in the county of Slago, Ireland in the year 1842 and landed in Castle Garden, NY on the last day of July 1860 going over to Rockaway, LI for the rest of that summer then came to Carbondale, then Luzerne County in 1861. At

Pittston in 1866 he married to Sarah COOK a native of Susquehanna County and they came to live in the Third Ward. To Mr & Mrs Owen MADDEN have been born eleven children all of whom save one living to grow up into useful people the majority of the young people being young ladies. For the greater part of the active life he has been in the employ of the Lehigh Valley RR.

Testimony was taken yesterday before Judge M. F. SANDO of the Orphans' Court in the will contest for the estate of the late Adam THOMPSON, the contestants alleging that THOMPSON was of unsound mind at the time the will was making Attorney W. M. CURRY executor and trustee under his last will and testament. George B. THOMPSON, a son of the deceased, Mrs Franc T. VAIL, a daughter and George E.

Mr THOMPSON died October 1, 1906 and eight days later a will drawn up on August 18, 1905 was admitted to probate. He was 84 at the time of his death and relatives say that he was wandering. The heirs object to that portion of the will which says:

"That George B. THOMPSON and Franc T. VAIL shall receive the income from the estate only during their lives, and George E. PRYOR nothing until after the death of THOMPSON at which time he shall receive one eight of the estate, provided the death of THOMPSON shall not occur before 1926. But should THOMPSON die before 1926, then PRYOR shall receive only 1/8 of the income from the estate until 1926, when he shall receive 1/8 of the estate itself." Mrs Franc T. VAIL was the first witness and his daughter. She said he lived at 222 Adams Ave and he promised her mother that he would give his property on Gibson Street to her brother George. Dr H. E. VAIL, a grandson, who practiced in New Zealand and Australia before locating to this city was the next witness. He said the testator was of unstable mind at the time of his death. Former Sheriff Clarence E. PRYOR who is now a resident of Philadelphia, and whose wife was a daughter of THOMPSON was next witness. He stated the testator's mind wandered at times and did not fully understand making of his will. There is a estate valued at $100,000 at stake and the court will make a decision later.
