LIMIT IN DIVORCES.
Judge Hazen Thinks There Should Be
in This Case at Least.

The divorce case of Levi D. Tippen
against Alice Tippen was taken under
Amusement this morning by Judge Ha-
zen.
The question to probably be decided
by the court is this: Is there a limit
to the number of divorces in which a
person can participate. Just how many
times the uncompanionable Alice has
been separated is a question. Some say
thrice and some say four and others
hint at five. One thing is certain that
Judge Hazen has divorced Joe Weber
and Alice at least twice. They always
made up but the last time they didn't
and that was how Levi got in the
meshes of the matrimonial net with
