BY GRANTING OF DIvoRcE IN
JUDGE KENDALLs COURT
BEGAN IN FAR OFF
AUSTRIA,

A marriage license was granted this
morning to John AsialOs and Maria
Benczo both Of whom recently secured
divorces in Judge Kendall's court
Astalos' divorce was granted at the
last term of court and Maria secured
hers on Monday at the term now sit
ting. AS soon as the papers authoriz'
ing their marriage were issued, Rev
Engle was summoned and performed
the ceremony that made them one;
thus communicating lifelong cherished
event of their, love, which dates bach
to their childhood.
There is nice little story Of Aus
trian romance connected with this
marriage. John AstalOs and Maria
siron we're children that grew up ami
went to school together In czareny IN
Austria Hungary. A strong attach
ment was formed for each other AM
for a long time they were sweethearts
Later an estrangment grew up be
tween them and AstalOs for spite mar
riel a gtri who proved false. He ther
came to America. He was a resident
Of Greensburg, Pa, and 1t was here
that he again met Maria this time al
the wife Of Paul Bencto
Benczo and his wife were not ven
compatible because Of Benczo's teal
Gus temperament. He was indicted
in the court of quarter sessions a
dreensblrg, Pa for shooting at MaFI'
as Is shown In an exhibit in the d
yorce proceedings instituted in Judg'
Kendalrs court;
Attorney H. c. Grant secured tb'
divorce for both Astalos and MARI
and was instrumental in obtaining
their license and now what seemed t
them for long time as a dream o
their childhood has at last been real
tzed.
