fion to be heard before 1t can come to

ALMOST GOT A DIVORCE.
An attempt was made to slip the case
of Styer VS.. Styer and get a divorce and
it almost succeeded. Last term Of court
Sarah Styer sued David Styer for di-
vorce on the grounds of abandonment.
Attorney Garrett represented the plain
tiff. The parties lived at Massillon.
Judge McCarty got to questioning the
woman and she said that her husband
had given her the money to get q di-
vorce with. The court did not propose
to have any such collusion to get out of
matrimonial ENHANCEMENT and told her
she could get no divorce. The case was
dismissed. In a week or two Attorney
Pinn commenced suit for a divorce on
behalf of the husband. The case came
UP Thursday and Judge McCarty after
hearing the evidence, which seemed to
indicate that the wife had abandoned
her husband granted a divorce, not rec
ognizing that the case involved the same
parties that had been up before. Attor-
ney Garrett happened to be in the court
room and told the judge that was the
case he had refused to grant a divorce
on before. AS Attorney Pinn was going
out the door the judge stopped him and
told him and his client that would not
do, and that he would not permit the
divorce. He then went back and
changed the entry on the docket and
dismissed the case.

THE DIVORCE MILL.
Attorney Lewis, of Alliance, came be-

divorce cases. The case of Beck VS..
Beck was not ready for trial and was
continued till next term The case Of
Hett vs. Hett in which Mr.. Roach is at
torney, Mr.. Lewis said. could not be
tried as the plaintiff was busy now
nursing typhoid fever patient. The
court continued the case. In the mat
ter of Della Long VS.. Emerson Long,
a triaLwas held. The facts showed that
one day about two years ago when the
wife went to visit for a day or two at
Salem, her husband hastily sold off
everything on the farm and getting
about $1,70O skipped out. Under the law
divorce cannot be granted unless the
absence has been for three years. The
time is not up yet and so the decree was
refused.
