GIVES ONE IN THREE DIVORCE
Judge Macy Makes a Start in Unhitching
Unhappy Married Folks.
FAMILY AGREEMENTS NOT GOOD CAUSE
Arrangements Between Husband and
wife Not sufficient to support
nn Application for Dissolution
of Marriage Ties.

In the district court yesterday Judge Macy
granted one divorce and denied the applica.
ton Of two others. The petition of Anna
j. Towns, alleging that her husband, j. T.
Towns, had deserted her and failed wholly
to provide for her for a period of nearly
seven years, was sustained by the testimony.
lie left her nearly seven years ago with
two small children, and during all of that
time she has never heard from him. Judge
Macy granted the divorce without asking
for any further evidence.
When Annie Stewart filed her petition for
a divorce from J. X. Stewart, early last
month, she believed she would have no diff
ficulty in getting her matrimonial bonds
cut away. Her chief charge against her UNI
desirable husband vas cruel and inhuman
treatment. When Judge Macy commenced
to question her with "a view of bringing out
all Of the circumstances connected with the
nhuman conduct of her partner he discov-
cred that her story was sadly lacking in
details. and that the divorce was something
of a family agreement. The Judge read her
a sharp little lecture and denied her applica-
ton. Her attorney Immediately notified the
court that he would take the case before
another judge, and made the usual motion
to have the judgment set aside.
Josephine kruckow came before the court
with the same kind OF case, backed up with
the same kind of a plea to secure an end of
her undesirable union with 5. Il. Kruckow.
The same ruling was MADE, and Josephine
Will have to worry along with a husband
for a while longer, on until she can trump
Up a better excuse than she alleges.

Ploen in favor Of Christian Bruene of Min
den for S2S5.65 on & promissory note, to-
gether with interest and costs. and against

Late In the afternoon, when the work of
the day was about over, Attorney Emmett
FINLEY called up his case against the Lake
Manawa Railway company and Colonel Reed,
In which he claims a large sum for attor-
