of GAINESVILLE, district attorney OF

that the applicant had been divorced
in another state within the past year,
that the laws of that other state pro
vided against the remarriage of
divorce within a year, and that the
laws of wisconsin provide likewise,
and that, therefore, it was repugnant
to the Wisconsin law for the man to
be married in this state within a. year
after the granting of his divorce.

ton by quotation from the statutes,
