injury at o'clock this morning, when

but fortunately the only damage done
was the bending of mudguard on the
automobile. The women retained pres
ence of mind enough not to jump, and
the gentle humping of the cars going
in opposite directions caused no injury
to the three women.
A crowd quickly gathered about the
scene, and some excited individual ran
to Michael Seymour's saloon in Main
street and had William Mcneil. who
was in charge, telephone for the
Record ambulance. The wagon dashed
down at full speed with Superintendent
Riley and Orderly Bradley aboard but

When the Won Bernuth divorce hear
ing was resumed this morning before
Vice Chancellor Howell, counsel for the
husband continued its line of testi-
mony started yesterday with a view of
showing the former relationship that
existed between the father and Emil
and "Fritzi," the two children. The
object of this testimony is to influence
the final disposition of the boys, which
will be made by the court in deciding
the case
That the custody of the children is
the cause of the fight is apparent by the
entire absence of any serious charge
by either of the parties, the husband in
his testimony being loath to say any
thing disparaging to Mrs. Won Bernuth.
Three sisters of Mrs. Won Bernuth
were called by the lawyers for the hus-
band today, all of whom seemed exceed
ingly reluctant to make any damaging
statement. When asked, however, by
counsel forgive their opinion of the re-
lations existing between father and chill

answers, getting in great deal Of

asked any questions forcing an answer
that might possibly prove damaging to
their sister, but when requested to tell
of the feelings between the father and
children their faces glowed as they
told of the great love exhibited by
them. When asked to relate some
specific act showing the love of the
father they said he had even built a
small log cabin in the vicinity of their
home for the children to play = He
