case against his wife. tried in this
court in December, 1897, and which
was sent back for rstriaI on issues
concerning amount Of alimony, has fill
ed q motion asking that the case be.
set before. some judge other than
Judge Fee, before whom the case was
originally tried, on account of an al
legged prejudice which plaintiff says eN-
lists against him. He files affidavits
signed by n. u. Arrison, William Will
son and George III. Kinds, who each af-
tersbsing sworn, say that they believe
that this court is so prejudiced that
n this plaintiff cannot get u fair trial.
In his own affidavit the plaintiff re-
cites that he applied for divorce from
Y his wife in December, 1897, and that
on December "a, 1897, she, instead of
himself, was given a decree and u di-
vision of the personal property togeth-
ser with $3.50 as alimony. In its ruling
the supreme court said that no money
should be paid, but has left this mat
4 ter with the district court for adjust
sment. Now the case comes on fer trial
and plaintiff thinks he cannot get ius-
tice because this judge tried the case
and has formed and expressed an opin-
ion.
