The fact that Judge Kennan is still

divorce performance from coming of
this week. There were two cases to
be heard. Judge Richardson took a
little time off from jury case and
united the knots.

to be decided. He was married to
Clara II. Smith in May, 1858. He was
deserted November. 1898, There were
no children and there was no COM

true friend to back him up In his

BRlNGCOLDS in
, TROUBLE AGAIN

The Bringgolds, Otto and Carrie, are
again before us. This time they were
bSth defendants in an action and at
the same time were fighting each other.
SO the usual order of things was not
changed a great deal after all. John
F. Brill. the stenographer who report
ed the divorce case which was heard
before A. G. kellam, Judge pro TEN,
brought suit to recover the money due
him for his labor. He asked for S15
for taking the notes and S24S0 ior
transcribing them.
In his complaint he states that both
of the Bringgolds agreed to pay half
of the expenses.
The fight arose over the contention
that the debt was a community debt.
Mrs. Bringold held that they were
both liable for half the amount. while
Otto held that it was community
debt and that judgment should he
rendered against them jointly. Ac-
cording to the agreement claimed 20
have been made both agreed to pay
half Justice Stocker, before whom
the case was triedi decided that the
debt was a community debt and enter
ed Judgment accordingly. AS matters
now stand Brill can collect the entire
amount from either of the parties.
A. II. Kenyon, attorney for Mrs.
B,inggold, states that the case will be
appealed and fought out de noro in the
superior court. This means that, mar
ried or divorced, we viii still have the
Bringgolds with us.
Brill had small bill, compared with
tho one to he presented by j. II. Pei
letter. who did the bulk of the report
ing, His bill is for s3l5, only S5 of
which is charged against Mrs. Bring
gold. Pelletier has not yet received
his money, but he does not seem 10
be worrying about the matter as he
still has the transcript of the case.

passengers were afraid to leave the
