was too near school house. It was
decided by the council that there were
not enough signerS to the petition,
hence the suit. Before tue court, it
was decided that inasmuch as Mr..
Kalaher would want some of the
license money back in case the license
was revoked, the city should be a party
in the suit. The attorney for Mr.Dick,
Al .Gemmill has served notice on City
Attorney V. H.Cady of the action and
the case will be heard later. Attorney
Gemmill held that the license money
should not be paid back. This will
be determined later.

A Sad Divorce Case.
The divorce case of Mrs. Hannah
Wright VS.. Joseph s. Wright was
both pathetic and difficult matter.
From what came out in open court
yho,
the action was first brought but later
gave up the idea. Lately his attor-
neys were not able to locate him and
the attorney for Mrs. Wright could
not find out where he was although
a recent address has been Missouri
Valley. He was formerly employed
in the Chicago & Northwestern shops
here and later went to Madison and
Iowa. AS there was no contest the
only thing to be done was to make
some disposition of the property and
and the youngest three. He has sent
no money for their support since May.
The rights of all were discussed by
Judge Stevens, Divorce Counsel w. 7.
Kelsey and Attorney j. II. Stone of
Reedsburg, who represented Mrs.
Wright. The divorce was granted and
it was decided that the husband pay
$4,000 per month for the support of the
children until they have reached the
age of Is and in case he fails TO do so
he is to have no share in the property
on Sixth street in this city. The pro-
perty is valued at $1,000 with no en-
cumbrance. Mrs. Wright will have
che custody of al! of the children. 1t
came out in the testimony given by
Miss Clara Harmon, Mrs. Wright,
Elizabeth and Margaret Wright, that
there was cruel and inhuman treat
ment.
In the case of Nettie Meyer VS.. John
Meyer, Nettie Meyer, K. e. Kramer
and w. T. Kelsey were examined. A
divorce was not granted but the case
was continued to Oct. 5.
In the case of E. Clemens Horst. a
corporation, VS.. Ferd Effinger, on
motion OF the attorney for the plaintiff
a voluntary non-suit was granted.

of the evidence heard. The question
was over shipment of hops which
the defendant refused TO receive be-
cause they arrived some time after the
date specified in the contract.
