Week.

Two divorces were granted by
Judge Trimble in the circuit court in

Clair. of tbs city, charged her >hus-
band, James X. p. St. Clair. with in
fidelity, and Charlotte EIlinwood,
also of this city, brought action for
separation from Truman Ellinwood
on the ground of desertiOn. Judge
Trimble, during the four weeks he
held court in this county. made a
large incision in the array of divorce
proceedings that have been pending
for some time, 20 couples being ac-
commodated with legal separations.
The number might have been consid-
crably larger if the judge had not
taken exception to the form of pub
LEGATION of the notice to the defend
ant which had been used i'm a mum
Der of eases.

ternoon with the expectation that
