INSURANCE COMPANIES
DEMUR TO COMPLAINT P
Contend That Lyman EeseIson Cannot
Join Them as Defendants

An interesting point of law practice
was involved in the arguments upon
demurrers- to the complaint that were
heard yesterday in chambers by Judge
Bum, of the district court, in the case
OF LYMAN Fegelson against the Mag
ara Fire INSURANCE company and five
other insurance companies. Mr.. Fegel-
son has sued to recover about $1,000
as his. alleged loss by fire on property
insured through the defendant COM
panies 30
Four of theosix defendants demurred
to the complaint. Their principal OBJ
lection was that, in suing six COM
panies together. the plaintiff had vio-
lated the usual rule Of practice. 1t was
contended she should have begun a
separate action against each company.

st. Louis, Mo-, March ga divorce
was granted Wednesday in East St.

who fnarned at the ages of II, IL and
l3 years. Her mother also spoke the
nuptial vows when but II years old.
The divorce was granted on the
grounds of cruelty, iIrs. Watkins as

her husband. She liberated the abuse,
she said. until Feb. 20, 1901. when her
husband. according TO her statement,

with an ak.
Il couldn't stand this she said with
tears in her eyes.

coming to them, just at the time when
they should be starring on a happy
married life flied me with horror and
left him the next day. l don't think
my divorce was due 10 bad judgment or
that l was too young to select a hus-

lieve, and | think that a woman Is
capable of loving at q youthful age.
Men change sometimes, of course, and
an older woman could not forsee this
any more than q child.
