A Matrimonial ENHANCEMENT.
The trial of Oliver II. Jenness Of

ton of his wife's affections develops
in quite legal tangle. The original

and lived peacefully on their farm
at Sheffield until the 9O's. In 1896
Mrs. Jenness was notified that by the
will Of her uncle, James King OF
Chicago, whose death was announced
she had been left 5000 in cash, with
the provision that if she should survive
her uncle for Is years, she was to re.
ceive the sum of $4,000 On June
/. 1896, Mrs. Jenness left her husband
1t is alleged, in the company of Simp
son. and they went to Sioux Falls with
the intention of securing a divorce fol
Mrs. Jenness from her husband so that
she could wed Simpson. Jenness fol
lowed the couple to Sioux Falls anC
confronted them. Evidence submitted
at the trial brought out the fact thai

with her husband in writing that h,
was to be paid $1,000 down and S2O0'
more, while the farm at Sheffield
was to be decided to his son, Perley

: against Simpson. Mrs. Simpson claims
that the written agreement with hel
husband was all that was necessary.

agreement was void because false
means were used to get his signature
to it. He also maintains that the
court which granted the divorce hac
no jurisdiction in the matter. Mrs
, Simpsons lawyers claim that tn,
i'll treatment accorded the woman by
Jenness justified her in leaving him
