Mrs. Kerr was granted divorce
from Handley in June, 1905, and the
court decision gave her the custody of
the child as well as $25 a month ali
mony for its support Handley made
regular payment up to April 1907,
when the divorcee married Roy c.
Kerr, son of Judge William j. Kerr
of Pueblo. He then commenced &C.
tion before Judge Beardsley, the suit
eliminating on Tuesday.
Appearing for the petitioner was J.
W. Dollison; {. W. Darrow and John
d. Fillmore represented the respond
ent. Throughout the proceedings
nothing was offered in derogation of
the character of either plaintiff or de-
fendant. Handley simply wanted his
child; he testified that Mrs. Kerr had
been good mother to the girl, but he
desired the child for his own and IL
given possession would secure for it
the best care possible to be obtained.
He submitted to the judge the names
of the women in whose cnarge be
would place the girl if successful.
Both the ladies were called upon the
stand and Gloss examined by the attor-
neys for the defense. Each was will
ling to do all that could be done for
the best interests of the child, but
when asked if they thought they could
take mothers place, replied

fused to grant the petitioner d request.

Any Letter for Ne!

Yesterday the postmasters of the
state of Colorado met in Glenwood in
annual convention.
The letter singers began to arrive
Thursday night and took up their
headquarters at the Hotel Colorado
where their sessions were held, and
by Friday postmasters of all descrip.
tions were gathered together to discuss
the joys and SORROWS of their official
life and the servants of Uncle Sam
had many things to say to each other.
Among the pleasures arranged by
Postmaster Tnorson for the visiting
brethren was drive in the vicinity
of Glenwood so that the men accus.
toned to the sedentary life might
feast their eyes on the beautiful
effects of nature and breathe the un-
tainted mountain ozone for brief
spell.
The day was ended by ball at the
hotel and from now on Ollie says the
management of the local office will be
visibly improved owing to the various
suggestions CLEANED by the postmaster
at this very interesting session of the
