Among lawyers there is a saying
that In the trial Of case an attorney

The Other day an attorney was prepar-
ing to leave his once In one Of the big
once buildings to 60 10 the courthouse

library he had taken many large law
books containing decisions and opin-
ions Of higher courts. At Intervals a
boy went in and out of the door, and
each time be bore in his arms stack
OF the books. which he carried to an
express wagon that stood In the street
below. The attorney was to use the
books in the courtroom. Another law;
yer, who is Of southern birth and who
always addresses his friends with
some army title, watched the boy as he
went in and out carrying the law

married Walter De S. Maud, an ex-
British army officer. 1t was an in
ternationai match that attracted
much attention, but Maud left her
in a year and went out West on a
ranch. His wife established her
residence in Summit county and got
a divorce in 1900. In the same year
she married Hanna.
This was also Hanna's second mar
riage. His first wife was May Har-
rington, whom he married in 1887,

lived together IL years and had three

Mrs. May Harrington Hanna from
Cleveland with her children was

"ToM" LEE OF HEROIC MOLD
Army Career Filled with Deeds of
Daring which He ModestIy Re-
Trained from RecitinE.

In the unwritten record of true, though
humble heroes of the civil war no name
stands higher than that of Thomas Lee,
city sewer inspector, who was killed by
the cars last Monday. Even among the
veterans of that war where 80 many pos
sessed a high order of courage, his name
is pre-eminent. tom" Lee was never a
purveyor of stories concerning himself
He was too modest for that But now that
he is dead, friends, relatives and comrades
recall little incidents of his life which show
the man he was during the great rebellion.
He enlisted in Company A, Thirtleth In
diana volunteer infantry, September 9, 1863
1t is a remarkable fact that he went
through every battle Of that fearful cam
paign with Grant. which included the
bloody carnage OF Lookout Mountain
Shiloh, Corinth and Bowling Green beside
innumeTable smaller engagements and
skirmishes, and never received a scratch
or an injury This is remarkable, but it
approaches the miraculous when It is re-
membered that he was color bearer through
those engagements, the most dangerous
position In the entire army, for the flag is
the target at which the bullets of an enemy
are directed more than any other single
point.
Many time did he pluck the colors from
the hands of a dead color bearer and raise
them aloft before the rallying army. And
when the flag was waved on high in the
hands OF Tom Lee the men behind the flag
took fresh courage. for there was a sort
of legend that the tall color bearer pos
sessed a charmed life and the colors were
safe in his hands. Tom Lee never vio-
| lated this confidence. At the battle of
| Shiloh he found himself about to be cap
tured with his company in a flank move
ment by the enemy. He tore Old Glory
from the bullet-riddled pole and concealed
It underneath his coat. Within a few hours
he had contrived to escape from his cap
| tors, bound the stars and stripes on the
| recovered pole and was rallying his scat
| tered comrades 10 a renewed attack
| In the same battle on the second day
he was carrying the flag when a bullet
! shot the stan I'm two in the middle. Colonel
| Samuel s. Bash was riding Just behind
him and the same bullet pierced his body,
! injuring him mortally. Lee caught him
as he fell from his saddle, laid him gently
on the ground, and when the dying colonel
was provided for seized his shattered stan
and led the company on.
He was a man who never turned his
back to an enemy" says Thomas Stewart
a civil war veteran and warm friend OF
Mr.. Lee. He told me he never was borr

SIx-MoNTH CLAUSE ADDED
Rider Attached 20 Divorce Prevents
Remarriage of Either Party
in that Period.

A decree Of divorce was granted by judge
Kennedy of the district court Thursday
which carried with It a clause that causes
great annoyance to that tribe OF people
who lightly marry and lightly get divorces
1t provided that neither party shall re-
marry within a period OF six months.
The decree was granted to Emma Wirth
and against Joseph F. wirth. The de-
PENDANT is ordered to pay S175 to the
plaintiff and 500 to her attorney.
Judge Kennedy has affixed this clause
prohibiting remarrlage to one or two de-
crees heretofore. There is some doubt as
to whether 1t would stand II contested in
law, but the judge believes he has the
right TO do It and says there can be no
doubt Of the salutary effect OF the provl-
sion.
Winfield A. Reed was granted a divorce
from Lizzie Reed by Judge Sutton Thurs
day. The petition was originally filed by
Mrs. Reed, but the court found against her
and granted the counter petition OF Mr.
Reed. The court found that the allegations
Of Mrs. Reed that her husband had failed
to support her were untrue and that in
fact she had deserted him in March, 1905.

to be shot. He saw many color bearer
get his death wound. He was in the midst
of bullets that came like peas thrown in
handfuls, but he never got scratch"
Mr.. Lee was a warm friend of General
Grant and is honorably mentioned in the
memoirs of that great commander. Stories
are told about the two. One relates how
Lee one night went over to what was
known as the Dutch brigade" This
brigade was made up entirely Of native
Germans, and by a special order they were
allowed beer. Lees company wearied with
marching and fighting, thirsted for some
of the German beverage He succeeded in
getting eight canteens full, but as he was
returning he met Grant.
Lee, have you some good water there?"
asked Grant.
81 have not, but I have some very good
beer" said Lee with good grace under the
circumstances, 1t is said that the tired
general quaffed nearly all the canteen
contained. The other seven canteens were
concealed under Lees coat
There are several remarkable facts con-
nected with the sudden death of Mr.. Lee.
One is that his nephew, John ]. Lee of
Detroit, who was here on his first visit
in twenty years, induced him to have a
photograph taken last Saturday. Mr. Lee
had not sat for picture in fifty years
and was always averse to doing So Proofs
of the photograph show an excellent like
ness.
