Card. a Mckay creek rancher, ad'
vertised for a wife and got one. In
cldentally he acquired several step
children In the transaction. The mat
rimonial relations OF the family were
not exactly amicable and in the
course OF time the husband sued for
a divorce.
He alleged cruel and inhuman
treatment and asked the court to en-
join hts wife and her children from
doing him bodily harm. The wife
promptly returned the compliment by
filing exactly the same kind of suit.
When the case came to trial, one side
exhibited a portion of a 2X4 scant-
ling as the weapon which the other
had used while the other side present.

the difficulty.
In deciding the case, the court gave
the youngest of the three children in
to the custody OF the mother and or
dered Card to pay the woman 500 a
month for the support of the child.
The other two children were given
to the father, and the decree was
otherwise in his favor.
Former Butcher Wins Suit.
The st. Denns-Harras case was one
in which the possession of $40 acres
of wheat land were involved. Harras
claimed to have leased the land from
st. Dennis for a period of 10 years,
paying rental at the rate of Sc per
acre for each summer fallow crop.
st, Dennis brought suit to have the
lease cancelled on the ground that
Harras had succeeded in getting him
intoxicated before making the lease
and alleged that II was arranged
while the two were IN Walla Walla.
After bringing the suit st. Dennis
ried to withdraw from II, having
lcres of the land rested in the gov
,rnment and that he had no right to
ease Il for any length of time with
,ut the permission of the Indian ,
gent. Harras forced him to stay

This is what we want changed. 1t is
a question of the weaker and the
