TWO DIVORCES GRANTED
Judge Shaw Disposes Of His Quota in
Short Order

Yesterdays divorce cases were short and
to the point. The first was that of Robert
B. Urmston against Ella Urmston and the
decree was granted on the ground Of aban-
donment and adultery. The parties were
married in May, 1894, and took up their
residence in Los Angeles According to
plaintiffs story. the wife soon grew rest
less and left him for a-period what she did
during that time never being fully or sat-
isfactoriy explained. The husband took
her back to his hearth and home, neverthe-
less, and matters went comparatively
smooth until March of the current year
when she again forsook the plaintiff and
has since been living in Needles, where, the
husband alleges. her department has been
that of woman Of the town. The court
granted him a divorce and possession of
all property.
Margaret Harrigan was the other petit
toner for legal separation. She married
her husband in Pittsburg, Pa, in 1873, and
they have resided In California for twenty
years or more. The ground Of the action
was abandonment and the court granted
a decree together with custody Of the two
children and $40 per month for their sup
port.
The case of Louise r. Medler against
Frank Medler for divorce and alimony
will probably be before the court within a
few days.

The board did not feel justified in entering

matter further consideration.
