WILL Big THE LAST
MRS. HATFIELD GETS A DIVORCE
AFTER Many EFFORTS

Could Not be Settled-They Separate
Manv Times and have Happy RuniOn
The Last Time They Made Up the Boys
Charivaried Them and Daniel Said that
Would be the Last Reunion-Jadse
Reed aud kss Harris Rushed the d.
vorce Through this Time.
Mary E. Hatfield was yesterday
granted a divorce from her husband
Daniel B. Hatfield by Judge Reed.
Daniel B. Hatfield is an old soldier
who draws pension and in 1892 ne con-
cluded that he needed a wife and when
he made his conclusions known 10 Mrs.
Mary z. Miles she consented to make
his home happy.
Mary and Daniel were both old
enough 10 know their own minds and
when they made up their minds TO get
married they both consented tina; they
were now one, but a fight OF the Skin
mish line ever since that time failed
10 determine which one they were.
The few years OF their married life
witnessed innumerabie domestic rebel
lions and divisions of property and as
many happy reunions. There were
several times divorce proceedings insti-
tuted but each time they were dis
missed.
The proceedings that terminated in
divorce yesterday might have ended
like all the other efforts but fortunate
ly or unfortunately this time Mary got
Kos Harris 10 attend to her case and
he induced Daniel TO sign paper in
which he waived SUMMONS and con-
scented that Mary might st,>lre her d.
vorce in the shortest period of time al
lowed by the statutes.
So when the case was docketed yes
terday Mr. Harris called ii up and told
Judge Reed that Mary was unable 10
live with Daniel because OF incompat-
ability OF temper and so his client did
| not claim alimony the divorce might
| as we'll be granted right away.
Mary Hatfield took the witness stand
and stated that her husband failed to
act prettily at all times after which
| Judge Greed granted the divorce and
Mary said she would go 10 her grown
| up sons in Oklahoma and allow David
| to shift for himself.
District Clerk Bridgeman says II was
| the quickest divorce on record. Less
than two hours elapsed from the time
| the case was docketed until the divorce
| was granted.
Since Daniel and Mary have hereto
Tore Always mdoe up ana proUopiy
| would have done so sthi time IL the
| proceedings had been delayed for a
| week, the neighbors now wonder II
they will not make up again and ask
| the minister of their church 10 remarry
| them.
| 1t is claimed. however, that the last
| time they made up the boys on the
West Side chivarried them and that
Daniel then and there declared that
| that would forever be his last domestic
reunion and that IL he and Mary ever
fell out again he would remain out
| world without end, and 1t is believed
that Mary will not repent this time I'm
less some cruel person should go and
tell her that Daniel Is going to marry
| a rich widow.
