DIVORCE SUIT FROM HAzELroN.

Judge P. B. Gillett came down
from Kingman Monday night to
hear a motion for temporary ali
mony and custody of the child in a
divorce suit filed last week by
Lille G. Bridge against her hus-
band, Fred Bridge. The parties
reside in Cedar township. The
plaintiff asks for sufficient
amount of money to care for her
self and child pending the DISPOSE
ton of the suit and a restraining
order preventing defendant from
disposing of property. Mrs. Bridge
alleges drunkenness and cruelty.
This is their second disagreement.
Plaintiff left defendant some time
ago but was persuaded to live with
him again but he again renewed
his bad habits and she now asks
for divorce, alimony and custody
OF the child. Seward 1. Field is
her attorney. Noble 6, Tincher
represent the defendant.
The evidence introduced in the
preliminary skirmish does not dis.
close as bad a state of affairs as
usually is found in divorce pro-
ceedlng but the domestic relations
are far from happy. Aside from
making the charge of drunkenness,
the plaintiff testified that her hus-
band has been in the habit of slap.
ping hes and cursing her. The de-
tendant, on the contrary, denies
this very strongly and testihes that
all their trouble is the result of
meddling of her folks, says he
wants to live with her and loves
her notwithstanding what has
happened. Mrs. Bridges STEP
father, Geo. Robinson, of Beaver
county, Oklahoma, was here to
look after eher interests.
At the close of the hearing Judge
Gillet allowed plaintiff 500 for
temporary attorney fees and suit
money and restrained defendant
from disposing of property and cot
the hearing of the cass IN its
its for July 5th. The custody OF
the child was awarded in the
meantime to T. G. Bridge and
wife, its grandparents.
Before announcing the decision.
the court gave befh parties some
very timely and kindly advice. He
stated that there was no reason
why these two young people should
continue to live together and he
expressed the hope that they would
agree to do SO between this time
and the time for the final trial.
The scene in the court room
when the child was Temporarily
taken from its mother was extreme
ly pathetic and it again empha-
sizes the importance of young
people becoming thoroughly ac-
quainted before entering the mar
riage relation. The separation of
parent and child is always sad no
matter which parent becomes its
custodian.
The plaintiff appears to be "a
very intelligent little lady posses
sing tidiness and refinement. The
defendant is hard working young
man and seems much affected on
account of the domestic trouble.

AT REST.

Miss Elizabeth Adams was borr
in Monroe Co. Iowa, March 20
1855. She was left an orphan
when but eight years of age. She
remained in Iowa until 1876 when
she was united in marriage to Z
P. Ball of Rockville, Ind, ther
moved near Wichita, Kans. They
resided there until 1885, when they
moved to Dodge City; after re.
naming there ten years they re.
turned to Sedgwick Co., where they
lived until 1902 when they moved
to Barber Co. where they resided
until her death.
Unto their union were born ter
children, five sons and five daugh.
tiers, of whom five preceded her >ir
death.
She had been a sufferer with
gall-stones for over thirty years
After suffering for almost three
months from a complication ot
kidney and stomach trouble, she
passed away at 7:3o a. m, May ~
1907, at the age of So years, z
months and 7 days. Although her
suffering was very great she bore il
all with patience. She had known
for several weeks that her time on
earth was short, and had partly
directed the funeral arrangements
herself. Her last words were very
consoling, as she knew she was
passing away, and was prepared to
go. She tried to sing, "There' s
Sweet Rest in Heaven"
She is survived by a husband,
two sons, Walter Ball of Wichita,
William Ball of Alva, three
daughters, Grace, Bertha and Edna
Ball of Eagle, Kans., one sister,
Ellen Ashenfelter of Burns, Kans.,
one brother, John Nelson of White
City, Iowa and a host of friends to
mourn her loss.
Funeral services were held at the
family residence at ten o'clock
May 28, conducted by Rev. Vos-
burgh after which the remains
were taken to Wichita, and laid to
rest in the Goddard cemetery, May
80, 1907.
precious one from us has gone.
A voice we loved is stilled.
A place is vacant in our home.
Which never can be filed.
Her hands are clasped upon her breast.
We have kissed her lovely brow.
And in our aching heart we know
We have no companion now.
Her gentle voice now is hushed.
Her warm. true heart is still.
And on her sweet and tender brow.
Is resting deaths cold chill.
We loved her, yes we loved her,
But Jesus loved her more
And Angels sweetly called her
To yonder shining shore,
The golden gates we're open.
A gentle voice said come.
And with farewells unspoken,
She calmly entered home.
God in his wisdom. has recalled
The one his love hath given,
And though the body slumbers here.
The soul is safe in heaven.
But why should we weep. to say farewell
To one who goes before.
For soon it shall be ours to go
Unto that peaceful shore.
We only have little while.
These earthly griefs to bear.
Then we'll go homewith parted friends
starry crown to wear.
Farewell. dear mother. sweet thy rest
Weary with years and worn with pain.
Farewell. till in that happy home
We all shall meet again.
GRACE BALL.

Rev. ]. ]. Griffin who was the
Baptist minister here a number of
years, preceding Rev. Ward, has
recently taken an appointment at
Meade, Kansas. The following is
taken from the Meade Globe of
June 9TH, concerning his first ser.
mon in that city: "Rev. Griffin
preached his first sermon at the
Baptist church Sunday morning,
having accepted the pastorate of
the church. All who have heard
him are impressed with his honesty
and sincerity and his splendid
manner of presenting the gospel.
The Globe is glad to have such
men connected with our churches
as it is a power for good"
John M. Sears who has been Gus
todian of our school house and
grounds for many years has tender
ed his resignation to the school
board to take effect July 1st. Mr..
Sears retires on account of ad-
vanced age. During the past few
years the janitor work has increas-
ed very much and man of his
age can not do the work without
taxing his strength very severely.
Uncle John has been a most effici-
ent as we'll as an exceptionally
faithful servant to the district and
he retires with the high esteem of
the patrons, the teachers and the
board. He will be succeeded by
J. A. White, present court house
janitor, who will take care of both
buildings until the beginning of
the school term.
