DIVORCE SUIT APPEALED
Charles Wiederoder Objects to Wife
Getting Property

A sensational divorce suit was today
appealed to the supreme court from
Reno county. Catherine M. Wiederoder
brought suit against her husband, Chas.
Wiederoder, in the lower court. She
claimed that her husband has accum-
ulated. lot of property since his mar
riage, but that he was so avaricious
that he made her and all the children
work all day Sunday. When she sug-
gested that the children ought to go to
church. he would threaten to kill her.
Twice she started suit for divorce, but
each time was persuaded to withdraw
the proceedings on his promise to be
good. Finally Wiederoder managed to
get her to sign contract providing that
in case they ever had another disagree
ment, Mrs. Wiederoder should take
certain tract of land and leave him.
Then he told her that he had things
fixed so that she could quit as soon as
she pleased that she couldn't get his
property. She brought suit to annul
the contract and get a fair share OF
the large estate. The lower court gave
her what she asked, and the husband
has appealed the case
Another appeal filed today was that
of Martha J. BresSler of Reno county
against the Rock Island. She claimed
damages for the death of her husband,

knocked her out on demurrer.

MIKASA is LOST,
One of Japan's Big Battleships
Destroyed by Fire.
Flames and Explosion Cause
Loss of 599 Lives.

Toxic, Sept. 12.-2 p. m.-The navy
department announces that the battle
ship Mikasa has been destroyed by
fire and the explosion of her magazine
causing the loss of 599 lives, including
men of other ships who went to the
rescue.
The fire started from an unknown
cause at midnight on Sunday night,
september 10. Before the officers
could be rescued the fire reached the
aft magazine which exploded, blowing
hole in the port side of the vessel
below the water line and causing the
ship to sink.
An investigation is now being held
to determine the cause of the fire.
The Mikasa was a first class battle
ship of 1920 tons displacement. She
was built in England and was launch
ed in 1902. The battleship was 40O
feet long, had a speed of over Is knots
and carried a crew of 9s5 officers and
men. She was fully armored.

their wives and children. This year all
IS different. One of the men asked for

told that passes Would not be issued to
