Mrs. Angel Anderson Dead.

Gloom fell upon this community
when it was announced that Mrs. A
Anderson died the morning of Wed
nesday, December %. For some time
she had been failing in health but
only a few weeks ago was it thought
very serious, when she went to Roch.
ester to consult the Mayos. From
there she went on to La Crosse to
visit friends, thinking the change
would do her some good. But after
her arrival there she suffered two
hemmorrhages of the lungs, whom she
gained enough strength she vas
brought back home, but unfortunately
the u~nrelenting grip of the disease
never ceased until she succumbed at
her home in this township. Mrs. An
derson was held in high esteem by
her many friends and it is indeed sad
that such a young life should be taken
away from the dear relatives. The de-
ceased is survived by her husband,
Angel Anderson, and two little daugh-
tiers. Also her mother, Mrs. Sveen
and two sisters, Miss Ella and Mrs.
Will Woods and a brother, Marvin
Johnson. Funeral services were held
from the house Friday at one o'clock
and at the Lutheran church at Volga
at two o'clock. Rev. Voldal officiating.
The entire community joins in extend
ing heartfelt sympathy to the bereayed
relatives.

Again and charge and Counter
charge Made by Each
Against other.

The Paul divorce case has but one more
day to live in district court, save, Of course.
for the decision Of Judge Troup. which will
not be Immediately handed down. Attor-
neys will argue the case today and then
will end the trial OF what has been in many
respects the most ~scandalous hearing in
Douglas county in years
The closing day OF evidence taking
brought no new specific charges. but many
details in support OF charges previously
made on either side. Yesterday afternoon
Mrs. Paul had her last say on the stand
and declared that her husband had sworn
to her that he would fix her 80 that no
decent woman would speak to her" and
that she had lmplored him on Bonded knee
to be kind to her and that he refused.
Paul had his last inning in the morning
and a considerable inning 1t was, for his
recital was at times Intensely ramatic
swore TO Fidelity.
Mrs. Paul came to me and said de-
clared paul. " There is a scandal about me
in Florence, John Paul. / swear before
God that / have never been unfaithtul to
you since we married.
Il replied to her" continued the witness,
" You know what you know and l know
what I know. You know more thar l do,
but know enough.
Now. look me in the eye and tell me
that So l spoke to her, but she did not
do Il. / then said to her: When did you
last see Bodwell?'
"'Oh, let me see,' she replied. Why.
when we and the Gordons met him in
front Of the Hayden Bros store
Another conversation was related by Mr..
Paul. which also had some OF the elements
OF real drama, or melodrama, possibly.
"When we talked Of coming to some set
Element OF our differences she answered
me: Just go ahead and fight. I'm a
fighter myself and l come OF fighting

Did your wife" inquired A. w J%efferis,
Paurs attorney, talk one day to your
daughtef Margaret in the bath room about
cocktails and high balls?'
COunseI I'm wranEIe,
This question produced the warmest dis
cussion between counsel which the trial
has yet known. General Gown was pro.
testing about 'the little children being
dragged into the case and Mr.. Jefferis
retorting. you should have thought Of
them sooner, general"
The court finally ruled out the question,
but stipulated that II should go into the
record, as was undisputed that MI. and
Mrs. Paul were not at this time dwelling
in peace and serenity.
General GOWNS remarks on the objec-
tionable nature Of the evidence were fervid
and he wound up with the declaration: Il
do this to save the children" a remark
which he addressed not to the court, but
to newspaper reporters sitting in his rear,

MOST COMPLICATED OF SUITS
Case Filled in District Court over
Claim of SIX Thousand Doll
lars Takes the Prize.

Mrs. Jennie B. Hauter and F.. o. Mills
are plaintiff in one Of the most compli-
Gated suits filed in months in the district
court OF Douglas county. Henry B. Read,
Nathan p. Mcdonald, Edwin f. Spires,
Arthur H. Burnett, Harry @. Bronze, A.
S. Tibbits and Walter L. Anderson are the
defendants.
Briefly told, the plaintiffs have a claim
for S6,A4 against Henry B.. Read, through
a note covered by a mortgage. Ii is
charging Read is concealing property which
would satisfy the claim, the mortgage being
worthless. II is also asserted that he is
permitting the attorneys who are code
PENDANTS to put In exorbitant bills for
services in another suit and that they are
getting away with the money. Hence an
injunction is prayed for against the bills
being paid, though they will issue, IL at
all, in a court Of another jurisdiction. the
district federal court.
The mortgage which Read rave the plain
tiffs, or rather, the interests they repre-
sent, was antedated by two other mort
cages, one Of which was foreclosed and the
sale left nothing over for Mrs. Hauter and
F. o. Mills.

P. W. KUHNS WILL BUILD
STORES WHERE HOMES STAND
Prepares to Erect Buildings for Bust
ness at TWenty-FOurth and
FarnRm Streets.

Paul w. Kuhns is advertising for the
sale Of the frame houses on his lots at the
southeast corner Of Twenty-fourth and
Farnam streets and will have them moved
off at once preparatory to building five
store buildings.
Mr.. Kuhns owns los feet on Farnam
street and 1p feet on T~wenty-fourth street.
He will erect at once five stores. using all
the Farnam street frontage. Mr.. Kuhns
says he has not decided Just how high in
the air the building will be built at present
but the foundation and walls will be built
heavy enough to carry a high building If 1t
Is desired in the future.
Many think the corner Of Twenty-fourth
and Farnam streets may some day be the
future center Of the retail district Of the
city. The grading Of Twenty-fourth street
is now under way from California to
Cunning street and the contractors think
the grading will be completed this fall un-
less the severe cold starts in too early.
Preparations are also under way for paw
ing the street and the street railway COM
pany is already placing its switches and
crossings at Twenty-fourth and Cunning
streets, preparatory to laying it's cross
town line in the spring. When this line is
completed IL is planned to run through
cars from North Omaha straight down
Twenty fourth street to South Omaha,
making the longest straight-a-way line in
Omaha.
The street railway company is also pre-
pairing to build its extension from Twenty
fourth and o street, South Omaha, through
the stock yards, past the Exchange build
ing to Thirty-sixth and L streets. Some
delay is now being occasloned by the en-
gineers in preparing plans for remodeling
the o street viaduct over the Union Pacific
and Union Stock yards tracks so thai it
will accommodate the track Of the street
railway company.
