The children came to the coast to
live several years ago after their
mother died. The old father could not
be induced to follow. The news of his
death only reached here day or so
ago and Pletz was trying to arrange
for the funeral at this distance He is
now rated a rich man and will start at
once for his former home
Pletz's windfall may mean the re-
vival of an interesting proceeding. He
was married to a woman several years
ago, who later commenced divorced
proceedings against him in the Superior
Court of this county. Pletz the case
go by default and imagined then that
he was divorced. He became engaged
to another young wnman and married
her, after which the first wife became
aware of the situation and opened pro-
ceedings against him once more, this
time charging him with bigamy. The
case has not yet been settled, and the
chances are that each wife will seek to
establish her right to be called Mrs.
Fred Pletz, with the result that COM
plications will follow
The court admitted when the case
of Pletz came up not long ago, that
there was an absence of any Interior
motive on the part of the defendant
when he contracted marriage for the
second time, but he was censured for
his ignorance, which was alone re-
sponsible for the step he took.

together with the necessary men to
operate same, were detained several
days at Crittenden pending repairs on

there Col. Roy, from whom the fore
going information was gained, had
talk with one of the experts, who ex-
pressed the belief that the necessary
coal would be found. There were, he
said, twenty-one veins and it was more
