Luke a. Terry Is Given Divorce from
California VI. Terry on the Grounds
OF Willful Absence --IIappenings In
Court Of Common Pleas.

That the sad story of wasted
married life related in common pleas
court Monday and Tuesday by Mrs
Il. Albert Meredith, had a strong eff
feet upon Judge Daniel Babst, was
made evident Thursday when the
court granted the plaintiff practically
everything that she asked in her pc
tition. 1t was one of the strongest
judgements that has been rendered
IN divorce case in Marion for some
time.
Despite the fact that the defendant
fought ,he case in every possible
manner, summoning detectives from
Cleveland, indianapolis and Columbus
to testify, his evidence seemed to
have but little weight with the court.
Mrs Meredith was granted a di-
vorce and awarded the custody of
the minor child until further orders
of the court. She was granted the
sum of 1000 alimony to be paid as
follows: The first payment must be
made at the end of three months in
the sum of $3.50, the second, three
months later and the same amount
and so on until the amount IS seu-
tied in full. The defendant is given
only twelve months to settle. In ad-
dition to this amount, Mr.. Meredith
is ordered to pay the plaintiff the
sum of $40 a month, beginning Nov
ember 18th, TO the support of the
minor child These payments must
be continued until further orders of
the court. The defendant Is ordered
TO surrender to the plaintiff her per-
sonal effects. Notice of appeal was
given as 10 alimony and the defend
ant says that ne will carry the mat
ter to the higher courts.
Mr. and Mrs. Meredith were mar.
ried on August 26th, 1903 at Sturgis,
Kentucky where the plaintiff had
been employed at teaching school.
The divorce petition was filed in the
local courts on August, 9TH, 1909.

 "Yes," was the reply.
 The money was on both sides depos- ited, and the pedestrian, lifting up the thimbie, pointed out the required pea and took the stakes.

 Then a third wager, ga pound or nothing" steadied the nerves of the loser, and the trick was accomplished with great caution: The gentleman lifted up the thimble and showed the pea, at the same time pocketing the stakes.

Joseph Hart's latest vaudeville pro siuction, ''The Bathing Girls, with . company of ten including Will Phil brick and Pearl Hunt, and a carload of special scenery will be the headline offering next week at Polls. ''The Eiatt's masterpiece. Given with SIX magnificent scenes, elaborate costume changes catchy music, and pretty chorus girls, the production will un- doubtedIy make the greatest hit Thls season in Bridgeport outside of the Love Waltz" MT. Hart who IS one of the foremost producers in the field of the varieties has unique and bril- liant novelty in this his newest crea- kion. Each of the six big scenes is elaborate in detail and color, and six charming musical numbers are pre- scented during the piece, one song hit for each. scene. One of the most spectacular scenes is entitled Tn the Gurf"; and is laid at the beach at Long Branch. A pleasing line of com edy runs through the piece. Mir. Phil brick, an artist in this line, contrib sItes mainly to the success of the pro- duction along comedy lines. Miss Pearl Hunt who is the feminine lead, is accredited with being one of the prettiest girls in vaudeville. The chorus of ten charming and vivac- tpus girls adds a piquant charm to the act. "The Bathing Girls will assur-
 sdly make pronounced hit at Polls next week.
 Charles Leonard Fletcher, Amer sca,s foremost impersonator, will be a great feature of next weeks bill. In his five trips around the world, MT. Fletcher has met with many celebrities and he has, 8, repertoire of impersona- rions rnequalled on the stage today. One of MT. Fletcher's best things is his 'tAt the Telephone" impersonation of the famous English actor Charles Warner. The Empire Comedy four, the funniest quartette in America, coming here direct from the Keith Proctor circuit, will be a genuine laugh hit. Anne Blancke, presenting with her company of five the playlet of mingled pathos and comedy "FreclSles, B Child of the Curb,' will be a nov eIty sensation.
