KENDALL. S. D., Dec. 2.-Something
OF sensation has been created here
by the action of the supreme court n
affirming the decision Of the lower
court requiring L. D. Bardin to pay
temporary alimony and attorneys fees
TO his second wife, who is suing for a
divorce. Mr. Bardin is one of the
leading merchants of this place, and
is prominent in social affairs. His first
wife died four years ago and about a
ycai later he married a Mrs. Osborne,
Of Troy, n. Y. lie brought her here
with him and introduced her as
his wife. They lived together al
most a year, finally quarrelling and
separating, whereupon she begun suit
for divorce. Soon after the suit was
begun Mr.. Bardin went to New York
and married Miss Hattie o. Gle, and
is now living with her. Mr.. Bardin's
defense in the suit is that he was never
legally married to No. ., as she had
husband living at the time from whom
she had never been divorced. She
claimed that while this was true. she
did not know his whereabouts, and un,
der the New York law needed no d.
vorce.
The action of the supreme court in
iicates her position was well taken,
and also indicates that She will obtain
a divorce when the case comes to trial.
