wife Searched lIubby,s Trunk.

If Mrs. Lawrence l.. Rotter had
neglected to go through her husband
trunk when she made a hurry trip to
Norfolk last spring or If in going
through the trunk she had not found
a signed photograph of Margaret Asey
of Rushville, Neb, and letters from
the same Margaret, Mr.. Rotter might
have obtained divorce from the dis
trlct Judge at Madison Wednesday af-
teinoon. But Mrs. Rotter found the
letters and nailed on to them. She
didn't even give them to the court
but she told about them in a deposit
ten of very great length. 1t vas in
timated that Mrs Rotter was kind in
not going into details.
Rotter in travelling out of Norfolk
made his headquarters here, but three
or four times a year visited his wife
in st. Paul, MINI. He was there on
Christmas, 1907. When he left he
said he was going in for his new
samples, his wife claims. When her
S25 a month allowance from the
house ceased. Mrs. Rotter invcsti-
gated and found that her husband had
lett The house. She came to Norfolk,
found her husband his trunk and the
Eushville letters She took them all
back home with her.
Meanwhile on March 23, 1908, Rot
ter at Madison had filed a suit for
divorce. He had sworn that he did
not know where his wife lived and
that notice of the suit must be given
by publication in a Madison county
newspaper. When Mrs Rotter was
here the notice was being published
but she never saw it.
Rotter stayed with his wife about
ten days. He testified at Madison
that he was merely trying to effect a
reconciliation. Mrs. Rotter claims
that he tried to force her to sign sep
aration papers and offered her $50 a
month for a year. After he left Mrs.
Rotter had the district clerk in st.
Paul write to the clerk of the district
curt of Madison county. Then she
found out that her husband was 7uu!g
her for a divorce on the grounds OF
dGsertiOn.
Mrs. Rotter hired a lawyer, lack
Koenigstein OF Norfolk, gathered up
her letters end began to have GepOsl.
tons taken. Judge Welch forced
Rctter to pay 500 into court for the
wife before the case could be tried.
Mrs. Rottel. in addition to going
through her husbands trunk, had an
other bad habit. She saved her has
bands letters to her. These were
introduced at Madison and proved en-
barrassng to Rotters testimony. Rot
ter said he didn't know whether he
had had ever received any letters or
photograph of the Rushville woman.
Judge Welch in refusing Rott9: a
divorce said that his findings were
based on three reasons, first, that
Rotter had not established and main
tanned his residence in Madison COun-
ty, second, that his testimony was I'M
supported and was contradiCted by his
wife and third that instead of being
desertion he semed to have deserted
his wife.

BELLEVUE TRACK TEAM AT WORK
Athletes Get Down TO Business for
the Coming Meets.

Inc season for the Bellevue track team
is to begin at once in real earnest. For
some weeks many men have been doing
more or less individual work and have
worked themselves into fair condition, but
there has been no we'll directed training or
preparation for the coming meets. This
week will see the team working in unison
and the training organized.
Thus far considerable difficulty has been
experienced in the matter Of securing com
petent coaching for the athletes. Coach
James has found II necessary to coach both
the base ball team and track men, and
that being almost impossible, the track
team has suffered accordingly.
The track grounds and base ball dis-
mond are widely separated, thus precluding
all possibility OF giving attention to both
teams at the same time. and since it Is
necessary for both teams 10 secure their
practice after 3;lS each afternoon, one had
TO be left out, and the track men got the
outs.
From now on track men will nave the
attention and advice of Tom Moore. old
time track and foot ball star in Bellevue.
Moore is especially valuable here because
of the enthusiasm he can arouse, also
Moore Is splendid In training for good form,
In all the events. He will have the squad
out each afternoon for a couple Of hours.
Bellevue is building high hopes upon the
track events for this spring, partly because
OF the unusual amount of good material at
hand. and partly because that most stu
show of pulling out a state championship
than the base ball MEN have. 1t is very
desirable 10 win one or the other, and stu
dents feel that the track men should have
all the chance possible to win out, The
team Is especially strong in the sprints.
Racely Is beyond question a splendid
Splinter, ana in the past has been espe-
cially strong in the 20 and 400-yard races
because OF unusual endurance, and there
are three other men right in his class 10
help cut. In fact. in the late interclass
meet. Linsel won from Racely in both the
hundred and two-twenty. There are good
chances for victory in everything but the
high jump and the hurdles.
On the coming Friday the Omaha High
school team will be met on the Bellevue
field. They have many good men and will
pile up some sure points. A week later
Doane will BE- met at Crete, and here will
be a most trying contest, for Doane always
has q crack track team, and Is especially
strong at present. II won the state meet
last spring at Wesleyan. The interstate
meet is to be held this year, May %, at
Wesleyan.

100 cars will be entered In the tour and
that each ear will contain an average OF
-four persons. According 20 q provisional
arrangement suggested by the Denver clue,
