clared the Western court would have
no other course, after receiving the
Washington decision. than TO decide
there were no aatrimonial bonds be-

Few eases have occasioned more wide
spread interest than the Bassett di-
vorce suit. The Washington suit was
entered some months ago By Charles
Chester Bassett. topographer in the
daughter of the late Senator Rice, Of
Arkansas.

before the child was born.
