THREE WANT DIVORCES.
More Petitions Filed for the August
Term of District Court.

In the Office of H. w. Michael, clerk
of the district court three petitions for
divorces have been entered. One was
filed in June but nothing was said
about it owing to the fact that in the
petition was request for an attach
ment on certain property owned by
the defendant. The necessary steps
have been taken now and the case has
been filed in the regular way. This
was the petition of Lena Johnson for
a divorce from Axel T. Johnson. The
plaintiff states that they were married
at Abba in November, 1893, and that
since that time the defendant has been
guilty Of habitual intoxication. She
asks for divorce and support.
John M. Chaddock asks that he be
given a decree of divorce from Cora
Chaddock, alleging as reason for his
petition that the defendant has been
guilty of statutory crime since the
two were united in marriage, October
s, 1898, at Ottumwa.
James Harter asks for divorce
from his wife, Ellen Harter on the
grounds of desertion. He alleges that
they were married at Fairfield in 1867
