CHECKS WERE PROTESTED.
Father Had Payment on Sons Paper
Stopped Suddenly.

\ suit was filed in the city court yes
terday by Adrian S. Houck. attorney for
Sturgeon & Lyman. for the recovery Of
sl92 f:om Krank Knipe, for whom these
people eashed checks which the latter
wrote on the Bank of Bentley. 1t is said
that Knipe came here some time ago and
Icing in need Of money drew seveial
checks on the above mentioned bank.
which his friends cashed for him at dift.-r-
ent times. Knipe's father learning Of
his sons actions here, at once stopped
payment on the checks and therefore left
those who were kind enough to cash them
in a weak position to recover the money.
W. II. Carol. Of 81 East Douglas ave
nue.. says that he cashed one check for
knipe to the amount of $50. but before
giving him the money telephOned to the
Bank of Bentley and inquired into knipe'S
standing The bank replied that all
checks would be cashed. But later, when
Mr. Carol presented his checks for pay
ment they were protested He at once
went to Bentley and asked the bankers
why they had said that Knipe's checks
were good and why they now refused to
pay them. The bank argued with him
for some time over the matter but Mr.
Carol finally got the money.

ASKING FOR A DIVORCE

In the case Of T. y. Croson versus
Minnie Croson for divorce, the defendant
filed cross petition yesterday morning
which charges her husband with bigamy.
According TO the petition she and the
defendant were married in Illinois in
1878 and that in the spring of 1884 the
plaintiff left the defendant with her par
ents in Illinois while he went to Wymore.
Nebraska TO secure employment. That
he secured employment as Z fireman on
the Burlington railway and later he sent
her SO which was all that he ever con-
tTibuted 20 the support of herself and
child. She also states that his where
abOuts were for many years unknown TO
her and that while he was in Wymore
he passed himself off as a single man,
kept company with other women and spent
his money in riotous living. She further
states that IA years ago he went TO
Wichita where, passing himself of as
a single man he married or pretended to
marry Miss Mary Garrett. and that there
was "A child born, who is now living with
the plaintiff and Mary Garrett
She declares that in 1885 she began teach
ing school for the support of herself and
child and has since been doing so; that
the plaintiff contributed nothing TO their
support except S24. which he gave to his
son on January 3, 1904, when his son
called at his residence in Wichita and
revealed to Mary Garrett that the plain
tiff already had a wife living; that ths
money was not paid as support bat to
induce him to leave the city, which he
did.
The defendant further states that while
the plaintiff was in Mymore she was
willing to go to him and waited patiently
for him to send for her; that the plain
tiff knew at the time Of his re-marriaSe
that no divorce had ever been obtained
by either the defendant or plaintiff
She therefore prays the court to set
aside his petition for divorce and grant
a divorce to the defendant on the grounds
mentioned.
The petition of the plaintiff was filed
January p. 1904. and as grounds for the
action he alleged abandonment.
