Gus Conrad Of the Hub saloon on
Sprague avenue is in trouble again.
Judge KEENAN, this morning made
an order directing that Conrad show
cause before the court March II why
judgment and decree of divorce
granted to him September ~, 1902,
should not be annulled and vacated.
Pending the hearing of this motion
Conrad is enjoined and restrained
from encumbering or disposing Of his
property.
The records show that Conrad Sc
cured a decree of divorce from Laura
Conrad September IL, 1902, on the
ground Of desertion Subsequent to
the entry of this decree Gus Con-
rad married again and lived in the
MontvaIe block with wife No. 2. This
marriage was not a happy one and
the parties to 1t are not now living
as husband and wife.
Now comes wife No. /, Laura Con-
rad, who has been living in Seattle
for four years. She declares in a
sworn petition filed today in Judge
Kennan's court that she has just
heard Of the decree Of divorce. She
declares that it was obtained by
fraud and that her husband practiced
fraud upon the court in securing it,
She states upon her oath that she
was never served with the summons
in the action and never had any no
tice of the tendency of the suit.
The records show that one William
IIinen made an affidavit in the case
in which he swears that he served
Laura Conrad with the summons and
complaint on the 18th day OF Au-
gust, 1902, at corner of Seventh ave-
nue. and Olive street, Seattle. Mrs.
Laura Conrad declares that this is
absolutely false and she says Gus
Conrade knew 1t to be false and con-
nived to deceive the court and thus
fraudulently obtained the decree of
divorce.
Conrad is placed in a bad light by

LOVE Me NOW

IF you're going to love me,
Love me now, while may know
All the sweet, tender feelings
Which from pure affection flow,
Love me now, while am living,
Do not wait till I'm gone:
Then chisel it in marble,
Kind love words in Ice cold stone.
If you knew someone were thirsting
For cup Of water sweet,
Would you be slow to bring it?
Would you step with laggard feetY
There are weary hearts about
Who are yearning for our love:
Why withhold that which nature
Makes them crave all else above.
I'll not need your kind caresses
When the grass grows Ger my face:
iii not crave your love friendship
In my last resting place.
Then if you love me any,
If it's just little bit
Love whileI am living
So l can love and cherish it.
