SIX DIVORCES
IN five YEARS
AND THE END is NOT YET IN THE
TIMM FAMILY OF
OMAHA.

OMAHA, Neb., Decs2C.-If Mrs. Her
bert Parsons wants any further argu-
ment to sustain her advocacy of rota-
tion in marriage the Timm family Of
this city will furnish abundant mate-
rial. George, Albert. Frederick, Hans,
Katie and Lena Timm, brothers and
sisters, all have been married and in
the divorce court within the last fve
years.
To cap the climax George Timm,
who obtained his decree last May,
married Bertha Timm, the divorced
wife of his brother Albert, who lives
in Iowa and was divorced in June.
While this wedding was being cele'
brated Mrs. Timm's sister, Sophia
Lamp. was married to Ralph c. DAN
lels. She has kept out of the divorce
courts. Her husband died.
The marriage of George to the di.
vorced wife of his brother Albert
was an event in which all the Timms
took interest. There was no rancor
and no i'll feeling. Everybody, con,
graduated everybody else and the
bride kissed her hand to her former
husband, who by the second marriage
became her brotherin.law.
Hans Timm was married in 1902.
He is now seeking divorce from his
wife Rose, and as soon as he obtains
his freedom it is reported he will mar
ry young woman divorced two years
ago. Mrs. Rose Tlmm is comely, and
the prediction made that her single
estate will not continue long.
The marriage Of cousins is recorded
in the Tlmm family, also the divorce
of cousins. In every instance divorce
was followed within month by mar
rlage.

hundred dollars changed hands ended
in cutting ARRAY on Harmony Hill,
at Benwood, at 1O:SO o'clock Monday
night, in which one man named John
