MOTION OF DEFENSE
Balm Must Pay Temporary
AIimOny to Wife.
AMIO0N AND WALL CLASH
Hearing of Plaintiff Allegation
Again Postponed.
AMIO0N AND WALL CLASH

At ; o'clock yesterday afternoon Mrs.
Matte Balm and her attorneys. Judge
Wall and \ S Houck. also S B. Amidon
attorney for Ralph Balm, appeared in the
district court for the purpose of arguing
the motions recently filed in the case
OF Balm vs.. Balm.
A motion filed by the defendant in
which the court was asked to set aside
the order recently issued to Mrs Balm
allowing her temporary alimony, was
heard first
The defendant argued that Mrs. Balm
received 500 Just the night before she
filed the suit for alimony in the district
court. This allegation was denied by the
plaintiff, and Mrs. Balm was called as
witness. She testified that all she had
received was 50, which she got off of a
table in a card room the night in ques-
ton. She said that Mr.. Balm and a
woman were at the table and there was
also a cigar box with money in it-she did
not know how much-but this they took
with them when they left in a cab about
half nast one. The last part of her eX-
PLANTATION was given under the objections
OF the defense.
Didn't you get some money out of the
cash register" asked Mr.. Amidon.
NO, sir. The place was locked. and l
did not get in. Mi. Balm had the key"
Did you get any money from the
hoteI?"
NO. sir"
-'pid 7-oli,- da,,~bter cot any roope,-9''
'No. sir: nay daughter was in bed. where
she belonged.
The motion was finally overruled by
the court. and the motion filed by the
plaintin few days ago was taken up.
This motion stated that Balm had given
s1,0o0 To his attorney 10 keep from paying
the alimony ordered by the court and the
court was asked 40 issue an order COM
polling Mr. Amidon and Balm To pay over
the 81 Geo.
Mr.. Amidon asked FOR a continuance as
MIR. Balm. who was d material witness in
this motion was unable to he present.
That were he present he would testify
that he had paid no money over to Mr..
Amidon IS was alleged IN the motion.
Mr.. Amidou said that the attorneys for
the plaintiff knew when the motion was
filed that the allegations were not true
Judge Wall hastily responded that they
expected so prove ali the allegations made
sn the motion
Judge Wilson said that it was best not
TO be in toe much haste with the trial
Of the motion and the hearing was post
poned until Tuesday afternoon AT $3.50
O'Clock. which would give both sides time
for preparation.
Judge Wall argued that the reason he
considered Tho matter urgent was that
the money in question might be squan-
dcred
Judge Wilson then issued an order re-
strainius Mr Amidon from disposing Of
any money belonging 10 Balm that he
had in his possession.
Mr.. Amidon remarked that it would he
s good thing if the court would issue an
order restraining him (Amidou from

would Doe better Tor him. Which remark
caused general amusement among the
crowd which had gathered TO hear the
PROCEEDINGS. The case WIS then dis
