ARnInst Absent Son.

FuNneE AAkH AlbAt ~ LOU nc RuAENEu
Against Absent Son.
That George Allen. son of John Allen,
a former resident of Council Bluffs, now
living in Minneapolis, has not been heard
from in eleven years is disclosed in a suit
brought by the father in the district court
here to quiet his title to three lots in this
city. George Allen, the missing son, is
named as defendant.
In his petition the father states thai the
title to the property mentioned was held
by his son. although he was the real owner.
In 1898 George Allen went west to secure
family for eleven years has been unable
to secure any trace Of him. At the time
the son went west the family resided in
Council Bluffs. The petition asserts that
the absence of the son for so long a pc
riod creates the legal presumption that he
is dead and the father declares his belief
thai his son died unmarried.
Mrs. Emma Jensen filed suit for divorce
from Chris Jensen, to whom she was mar
ried in Pottawattamie county January II,
1899. She charges the defendant with de-
serting her during the spring OF 1907. She
asks in addition to the decree OF divorce
$500 alimony and s. a week for the sup
port OF their two children, OF which she
requests the court to award her the GUS
tody.
human b. Hawkins traded an automo-
bile truck to Leopold Kastner for a horse
and $500 in cash, but up to date Hawkins
says he has not set eyes on the money
part of the deal and has brought suit In
the district court against Kastner to re-
cover it. The truck, according to Hawkins,
was guaranteed to climb what is known
as the Tom Owens hill near thisc city, and
did successfully perform the feat; Kastner,
so Hawkins says, was satisfied that the
machine would do what 1t was guaranteed
to do, accepted It and delivered the horse
but deferred payment Of the S2O8'aiuntil
some small parts or extras should be added
to the auto. Hawkins says he complied
with this condition, but Kastner still
neglects to pay over the cash.
