Mrs. Isabel Compton is Granted Di-
vorce From Prof. Compton
at St. Joseph, Mo.
HUSBAND WAS NOT NOTIFIED.
First News of the Action Received by Mr.
Compton was when the Notice of the
Courts Action Was Handed Him.

A copy of ST. Joseph, Missouri,
paper has been received in this city
and among the legal announcements
made in its columns is one stating that
Mrs. Sabe1 Compton was granted a
divorce from her husband, Mortimer
3. Compton, in the circuit court at St.
Joseph on February %.
| The divorce is alleged to have been
granted on statutory grounds and no
a1imony was allowed the divorce. The
announcement of the divorce will
probably come as great surprise TO
many people. in the city, as few had
| learned of the disagreement OF MIR. and
Mrs. Compton. Mrs. Compton left
Kenosha several months ago and went
at once to St. Joseph, Mo-, where the
proceedings were started to annul the
marriage bonds existing between her
self and the well known music teacher.
It is not thought that Mr.. Compton
made any effort to prevent the grant
ing of the decree and it was given by
default.
It is not known where Mrs. Compton
will make her home in the future, but
it is reported that she will go on the
stage.
Prof. Comp on was seen in his studio
this afternoon and when told that his
wife had secured divorce in the Mis-
souri, town he stated that the report
was the first heard of it by him. He
said that he was aware that such &C
ton was to be taken, but as no notice
had been served on him of the suit, he
had concluded that his wife had
changed her mind. Prof. Compton
stated that he was perfectly satisfied
with the course that his wife had taken
and would make no objection to the
Judgment for divorce.
He said that there was nothing to be
said in regard to the case more than
the fact that he and his wife did not
agree and that it was necessary for
one of them to leave. Some time ago
Mrs. Compton decided to leave and
return to her home in St. Joseph and
the divorce was the result of this return
to her home.

RAISES A NEW POINT.
Desired Administration in Trial Newman
Estate Brings Up Perplexing Questions.


Estate Brings Up Perplexing Questions
In the county court yesterday after.
noon Judge SlOsson granted petition
asking for administration of the estate
of the late Trial Newman, deceased,
and George Newman, one of the heirs
of the deceased, was named as an adj
ministrator de bonis non.
In connection with the case some
peculiar points of law are involved in
regard to the bond to be furnished by
the administrator appointed. Accord
ing to the general procedure as the
administrator holds that certain prop
erty amounting to $4,000 has never
been divided and is now held by w. H.
F1ett, of Merrill, and in this case it
would be necessary to have the admin
istrator give bond of $4,000. This
would be exceedingly hard for the ad-
ministrator to do and his attorney, Mr..
Smart, of Merrill, has raised the point
that the law covering the bonds to be
in case an administrator de bonis non
is appointed by the county Judge.
The people opposing reopening OF
the affairs of Trial Newman will prob
ably oppose this point raised by the at
torney for Newman and the case will
probably be carried to the higher
court for decision. AS far as can be
learned no such a case has ever been
heard in the courts of the state.

WITH IMPRESSIVE CEREMONIES
Remains of DR.. WIN. NJ. Dawson are Laid
to Rest in City Cemetery.

/. One of the most impressive funeral
services ever held in Kenosha were the
services of DR.. M. w. Dawson, which
were held on Tuesday afternoon at the
Unitarian church. The church was
crowded by the friends OF the deceased
who came to pay last tribute to his
memory. Many beautiful floral en-
blems were piled about the bier, some
of them having been sent by former
patients in Chicago.
The impressive service was con-
Quoted by the Rev. H. w. Thomas, of
Chicago, who had been a life long
friend of the deceased. In speaking
of Mr.. Dawson DIR. Thomas paid a
high tribute to his character and to the
splendid life which he had led. In
his work DR., Thomas said that he had
combined skill and manhood and this
had made the ideal doctor. He spoke
of his kindness to Chicago's poor and
said that DR.. Dawson never refused to
treat a patient because the patient
could not pay. In his work among
the poor he had left a, monument of
love and affection which will last as
long as time. After the services at
the church the remains were borne to
the grave by the lodge of Odd Fellows
to which the doctor had belonged dur
ing his stay in Chicago.
