The adultery case brought against
III. H. McCord, the real estate man. by
his wife, has been dismissed without
prejudice by the latter. Mrs. McCord
has also dismissed the suit she brought
against her spouse for temporary and
permanent maintenance. McCord was
arrested about 10 days ago on a conf
plant sworn to by his wife, charging
him with adultery and he gave bonds
for his appearance and was released.
Mrs. McCord came all the way from
San Francisco to look for McCord and
the charge Of adultery and the suit for
maintenance sprang from his being too
closely associated with a woman here,
and falling to make proper provision
for Mrs. McCord. Yesterday notice
of the dismissal Of the suit for MAIN
tenance was filed in the district court,
and that will probably end the trou-
BILE. 1t Is said that the woman asso-

that matters are patched up between
him and his wife.
