BALL FILES ANSWER IN SUIT
Man Replies TO Woman In Court who
Has Two. Husbands i'm Dir
ferent states.

Robert A. Ball has filed an answer In
the divorce suit of his wife, Zenetta Ball,
in which Judge Sears recently set aside
decree heretofore granted Mrs. Ball. She
is now the wife, under the Iowa laws of
Mark A. Sweeney and has with her in
Council Bluffs the two children. a boy and
a girl. Ball sets up that she is an unfit
person to have the custody of the chill
dren and asks that they oe given into his
custody. He also sets up that Mrs Ball
sweeney is not entitled to a divorce and
should not have one. He does not ask for
decree in his own behalf. but evidently
wants the woman to be still his legal wife
in Nebraska, as her second marriage was
in violation of the terms of the Nebraska
law which prohibits marriage within six
months of the filing Of the decree.

ments Of many Of the soldiers were TO
transfer the lands outright to the cattle
men after making the formal final proof.
and that all the money for filings and
proof was furnished by the Deadwood
syndicate and that considerable British
money was used in this manner. II is
further probable that several of the old
veterans may have to answer to the grand
jury for being party to the conspiracy
in procuring other comrades TO make
filings. In one instance an old veteran
sought to have his comrades make good
TO him 500 or $500 by subscription as his
