They have contributed in all $500.
Now the people along the Flaggs

every need of his wife.
Ice says he does not want any other
woman and as long as he can prevent
1t his wife cannot get another hus.
band When Mrs. Ice first began pro.
ceedings hoping to free herself from
the matrimonial bonds, there was a
young son in the family. The father
devoted himself to caring for the tot
and provided well for him at all times,
as he did for the mother
A short time ago the son got mar
ried, and every article of property the
father has amassed is in the name or
the son. That prevents the procuring
of alimony which is asked for by Mrs.
Ice, and she is awaiting, it is said,
the time that Ice will get something
of value in his own name. He as
serts, however, that his son shall have
it ALI
The value of the properties which
have been purchased by Ice is some
thing like 100000 and his income from
oil production and other business Ii
considerable, but ali of 1t comes
through the hands of the son, who
has staunchly remained with his faith

been pending for divorce.

pipe coming from the opposite direc-
ton should connect with the fifteen
