TIED The RECORD
Testimony in a Suit For Legal
IL Separation
SUB MITTED IN ONE MINUTE
Judge Clancy Sets a Lot OF Suits
For Tria!--NeW Actions
Begun.

Judge Clancy granted Carrie Brown a
decree of divorce from Charles Brown
this morning and in so doing ~equalled the
record from the standpoint of time, only
one minute being required to consum-
mate the entire deal. Desertion was the
ground upon which the plaintiff based
her tight to a legal separation, she stating
that a year or two ago Charles had ig-
nored her existence. George Carpenter
corroborated her statement Roy S. AL
ley appeared for the plaintiff.
One of the important matters heard by
the judge was the motion made by Phil
J. Harrington for the return of his ac-
| count books to him. Some time ago Har-
rington was closed out of the saloon bust
ness on an attachment brought by his
brother on ar alleged Indebtedness and
his books and accounts went with the
balance Of the things. In court this morn
ing his attorney informed the judge that
the party in whose interest the attach
ment was made was not making any ell
fort to collect the outstanding accounts.
On this allegation he asked that an or
der be made directing the return OF the
books to their owner.
There We're two Oppositions, one OF
which was made. by Attorney Madison,
who stated that a judgment against Har-
ringtOn had been secured IN a justice
court and if the present holder of the ac-
counts could not collect the outstanding
indebtedness the holder of the justice
court judgment would assume the re-
sponsibility. The announcement was
something of a surprise to the attorney
for Harrington. He maintained that the
justice court judgment had nothing to dc
with the matter at issue, but the court
cott1al tho controversies nv OVprrlIng the
motion. SO the books and accounts will
remain where they are.
The sale of the personal property be-
longing to the estate of the late N. Is. Da-
wilson was confirmed by Judge Smith
today.

writ of certiorori, has b cen issued by

dismiss the action for want of jurlsdlc-
ton. The motion was oVerruled. In rep
ruary the justice entered Judgment by de-
fault, allowing Johnson the Sill, an at
! torney's fee of $50 and costs of the suit.
The writ of review commands the JUS
tee to send to the district court on or be-
| fore the 18th inst, a transcript Of the
| record and proceedings in the case.
