HEAR SENSATIONAL DIVORCE
August Panlxin of Wilnot is Granted
Divorce From Ills Wife

The Circuit Court of Kenosha county
heard one of the most loathsome di-
vorde actions in the history of
the Circuit Court Thursday morning
when August Pankin, a butcher of the
village of Wilmot, was granted di-
vorce from his wife Ida Pankin, who
is now head waiter in Clark IS restau-
rant in Los Angeles, Cal. The allega-
tions of the husband were to the effect
that his wife was unfaithful to him
and that she had been cruel and in
human toward him on many occasions.
%he wife came back. with a red hot
affidavit in which she denied the allie
cations of the plaintiff and made SEN
salonal charges against the husband.
The court read a few letters and the
dispositions In the case and while he
made no attempt to render a verdict
on the unique charges made by the hus-
band and wife he granted the decree
of divorce to the husband and gave
him the custody of the three minor
children. The children have been
with the father since the wife went
to Los Angeles two years ago. Mrs.
Pankin was not in court, but she was
represented by an attorney and the
hearing of the case was decidedly
spirited one.

In Divorce Cases
CONTEST DEFAULT ACTIONS
Attorney Named as Counsel Must Ap-
Eears in all Cases or Give His Con-
se1it to Granting of the
Decree by Judge

Copies Of an act approved june by
the Legislature have been received by
county officials here relating to the
codifcation of the old divorce laws,
which makes this department of the
courts rather different institution
than it has been in the past. One
Of the particularly interesting clauses
Of the new law is:
I'm each county of the state the cir
cult judge or judges in and for such
county shall by order filed in the office
of The clerk of the Circuit Court on or
before the FIRST Monday Of July of each
year, appaiht some reputable attorney
of recognized ability and standing at
the Bar, divorce counsel of such county.
Before entering upon the discharge of
his duties such counsel shall take and file
in the Office of the clerk Of the Circuit
Court, an oath to support the constitu
ton Of the United States and of the
state Of Wisconsin and to faithfully,
fearlesslY and impartially discharge the
duties of such office. The person so ap.
pointed shall continue to act until his
successor is appointed and duly quail
fed, but such counsel may be removed
at any time by an order signed by the
judge or judges who appointed him and
fled in the office of the clerk of the
Circuit Court of such county.
'FIn amy act to affirm or annul mar
riqge, the plaintiff shall within ten days
after serving summons and complaint
on the defendant in the divorce action,
serve copy Of the summons and com
plant on the divorce counsel of the
county.
emo decree in an action to affirm or
annul marriage or for divorce
shall be granted in any action in which
the defendant shall not appear and
contest the right to divorce in good
faith, until such divorce-counsel OF
the county in which the action is tried
shall have appeared in open court and
on behalf Of the public made fair
and impartial presentation of the case
to the court and fully advised the court
as to the merits of the case, and the
rights and interests Of the parties and
of the public, nor until the proposed
findings and judgment shall have been
submitted to the divorce-counsel"
The foregoing are some of the more
salient features of the new divorce
code The act further provides that
the divorce-counsel cannot appear in
any action for divorce other than in
the official capacity of divorce.
counsel.
The compensation of the divorce,
counsel shall be $40 for each case to
be paid by the county wherein the &C.
ton is tried. Providing a divorce ac.
tion requires more than one day the
divorce-counsel will receive, in the
discretion of the court, suitable com
pensation for additional work, to be
required of the parties interested in
the action.

A BUMPER Hay CROP
State Secretary Of Agriculture
J. N. True Says Crop in Wis

RAINS A BOON TO FARMERS

Wisconsin will harvest this year one
of the greatest hay crops ever grown
in the state This is the opinion of J. NJ.
True, secretary of the State Board of
Agriculture, and of r. A. Moore, pro-
fessor of agronomy at the state univer-
sity. Both men claim that the crops
of the state at the present time are in
splendid condition. More corn and bar
ley will be grown in the state than in
several years past and the yield of
alfalfa will be astonishing. At the
university farm the first crop of alfalfa
has already been cut, averaging ton
and one'half to the acre. Three more
.harvests from the same field are ex-
peeted this year. Unlike other crops,
alfalfa is not destructive to the land,
as the growth gets its life largely from
the aiT.

state are good" said Professor Moofe.

seven and eight feet, and it is so dense
that it shuts out all sunlight to the
ground and naturally kills all kinds

Manitowoc took a crimp in the pen
nant aspirations of the Kenosha team
ION Sunday afternoon and as a result
of the defeat of the locals by a score
of 4 to / Kenosha is now in third
place in the Lake Shore League race.
The sheboygan team which was tied
with Kenosha for second place took a
long lead by defeating Milwaukee and
the Menasha team which is setting a
decidedly fast clip strengthened its
hold on first place by slaughtering the
Ports to the tune Of Is to 5. Mani
towoc has been a hoodoo to Kenosha
ever since the, days of Wilson the negro
pitcher and Notwithstanding the fact
that Wilson has disappeared from the
northern city S lineup the hoodoo
seems to be still working. The Keno
sha team should have been shut out on
Sunday, but one of the Manitowoc play
ers was sufficiently accommodating to
make an error and allow the one Keno
sha runner to get over the rubber in
the seventh inning.
Pulse pitched for Kenosha and he
was pitted against ICY" Young the old
Milwaukee pitcher who has been doing
some great execution for Manitowoc
during the past three or four weeks.
Young allowed Kenosha but five hits
and Stellman was the only batter for
Kenosha who managed to hit safely
more than once. On the other hand
the Manitowoc batters had Pulse going
a little in the first inning and in this
single session they put over two runs
which proved enough to win the game.
The Kenosha team gave the battery per-
feet support and the only two errors
made in the game were charged to
Pulse and Wallace. The trouble with
Kenosha was that the Manitowoc
pitcher was in great form and he man
aged to keep the hits scattered so that
Kenosha never had chance of win
ming the game. The score of the game

RATE CASE TO
SUPREME COURT
INTERSTATE COMMERCE CON-
MISSION HAS DECIDED TO
APPEAL THE MISSOURI
DECISION.

Washington, Sept S.--AIthoug1 no
formal conference OF the interstate
commerce commission has been held
since the PRONUNCIATION OF the United
States circuit courts decision in the
Missouri rate case 1t has been deter
mined that an appeal shall be taken
to the United States supreme court as
soon as possible.
Members OF the commission Of law
yers attached to the body are con-
WINGED that the circuit court failed to
grasp fully the points contended for by
the commission on trial. So far as
the commission Is concerned, 1t exer-
cised, in the PRONUNCIATION OF the order
in the case, only the power conferred
expressly upon II By the interstate
commerce act.
1t decided, for instance, that the
rate on certain shipments from New
York City to Kansas City, Mo-, was
unreasonable.
That 1t Is contended is a power
clearly within the jurisdiction of the
commission, The rate is made up Of a
sum Of the through rate from New
York to Mississippi river points and
sum of the local rates from those
points to Kansas City.
The through rate from New York to
Mississippi river points is considered
reasonable, by the commission, but
the sum Of the local rates from the
Mississippi to Kansas City, when APP
Piled through shipments, is considered
unreasonably high. and, by the order
OF the commission, 1t was reduced.
1t is maintained by the commission
and will be maintained before the SUI
preme court, once the rates between
two widely separated points are fixed
on a reasonable basis, the adjustment
of intermediate rates and the rates
to localities affected by the original
order Of the commission necessarily
must be worked out by the railroads
themselves.

NEVER PULLS OUT OF THE DEPOT
IN FARGO WITHOUT LEAVING
SEVERAL 5ELATED PAssEN-
GERS 5EHIND-HANG AROUND
DEPOT AND GET LEFT.

There seems to be big % sign at
tached to the Casselton train which is
due out of Fargo on the N. p road at
10 o'clock a. m. There has not been
a morning for weeks that this train has
pulled out of the Fargo station with
out leaving behind one or more belated
passengers, and 1t seldom pulls out
without some passenger, usually a la
boring man with a number of bags
and bundles making a flying race down
the platform in an attempt to catch it
after 1t pulls out
1t seems to be a characteristic of
human nature" said one of the depot
officials this morning. to wait until the
last minute, when they have all the
time in the world to buy ticket. If
the train stayed in Fargo for two min
utes no one would miss it. But the
people from the Cassehon branch know
that the train is made up here and
stands at the platform for hours The
train always pulls out exactly on the
minute and in spite Of warnings there
is always some one who will rush nm
to the window just a minute before
the train leaves or more likely lust a
minute after it leaves and ask for a
ticket to some town along the branch"
This morning there were fully a
dozen people who got left One man
came up to the ticket window fifteen
minutes before the train was due out,
asked the fare to CasseIton and the
time the train left He walked away
and at two minutes to 10 walked up
to the window and bought ticket to
Casselton. He walked outside and at
three minutes past 10 came back to
the window and asked the ticket agent
the time, although there was a clock
just over his head and in plain sight
The train had been gone three minutes.
While he was standing there four
other men came up and asked for tick
cts TO various points along the line.
When told that the train had gone. and
they could not get another until 10
o'clock the next day, they were all
apparently dumbfounded, although
there was a clock over their heads
with the hands past the hour Of 10 and
all OF them admitted that they know
the train left at 10 O'Clock.
