FIRST FINAL DECREE
Mrs. Holt Gets First Final
Decree of Divorce Under
New Law in This Co.
MAY RESUME MARRIAGE TIES

Judge E. B., Belden of the circuit
court has handed down an order for
the entering of the first absolute di-
vorce decree granted in Kenosha coun-
ty in more than year. Under the
new Wisconsin law the court is requir-
ed to make the decree Of divorce an
interlocutory decree and at the end
of one year this decree becomes final
by order Of the court. The first case
to be disposed of is that of Gusta
Holt VS.. Charles A. Holt. The inter
locutory decree in this case was hand
ed down by Judge Belden in Nov.
1909. Before the time for the enter
ing of the final decree Mrs. Holt had
been married to a man in Chicago,
but when she learned the provisions
of the Wisconsin law she returned to
her home in Wisconsin and at once
made application to have the decree
be made absolute Under the holdings
of the Wisconsin court her marriage
in Chicago was an invalid one. By
the order of the court Mrs. Holt is
given the right to resume her maiden
name of Gusta Anderson and she is
now free to resume her marriage ties
with the man she chose as her second
husband. Here the romance stops as
it is declared by the attorney for Mrs.
Holt that she is not DESTROYS of hay
ing a second marriage ceremony.
At the present time there are about
"a dozen introductory DEGREES of di-
vorce On the records of the Kenosha
court and these will not be made alb
solute until after the full year has
elapsed. Under the provisions of the
law these people may not re-marry in
Wisconsin and marriages made in 9th
er states may be declared invalid in
the Wisconsin courts.

The board at its session this morn
ing received petition for the build
ing OF new bridge to replace the So
called Devlin bridge in the town of
Bristol. The new bridge is to cost
$500 and the town of Bristol has al
ready raised one-half of this amount
ana the remainder must be paid by
the county at large.
County Agent Jones made his report
to the board in regard to the remod-
cling of the county jail, showing that
the v had been done in manner
satisfactory to the State Board of Con
troll. The board this morning made
an official visit of inspection to the
Jail and gave their sanction to the
work that has been done.
At the morning session the board
voted an appropriation of $4,000 for
the expenses of the County Agent dur.
ing the coming year and the bond of
that official was fixed at $4,000.
Bids will be secured for the selec.
ton of the county depository for the
coming year and it is possible that
the monies of the county will be di
vided between the various financial
institutions.
The committee work of the board is
now well under way and it is expect
ed that the greater portion of TIE
work of the session viii be completed
by Thanksgiving Day.
As yet no formal petition has beer
made to the board to take any action
on the opening of an institution tt
care for people suffering with con
sumption but it is expected that thi:
will be brought up by the middle Of
next week.
All the annual reports are expected
to be in the hands of the committee,
by Monday afternoon.

not IN KEEPING WITH WORK
County Board Makes Inspection of Re
modelled Jail and Takes Steps to Lin.
it the Length of the November SEES
sion of the Board.

James E. Tully, clerk of the NUM-
cipal court sent a petition to the
county board this morning asking that
the board take action to increase the
salary of the clerk of the court to
$500 q year. The petition was an
interesting one in that it showed the
great amount of work that is being
done by the court and it is pretty GER
tain that the board will decide not
only to increase the salary of the
clerk Of the court but also of the mu-
nicipal judge. An Investigation of
the expense of, this court shows that
it is handled more cheaply than any
court of the kind in the state. Since
the court was established it has hand
led 1873 cases and has taken over all
of the work of the justice courts OF
the county. There have been 1858
justice cases handled, 101 in the cir.
cult branch of the court and Is in the
juvenile branch. In addition to this
the court has conducted four examina.
tions of insane people.
The court has proved to be a self
sustaining institution and it has
brought new system to the litiga
ton Of the county.
The petition of Clerk Tully was re.
ferred to the Committee ON Municipal
Court and it is certain that before a
report is made that this committee
will take up the question of re-adjust-
ing the salary of the judge as well
as the clerk. At the time the bill pro
viding for the establishment of the
court was passed by the legislature
the salaries Of the officials were fixed
but these salaries were made subject
to REIMBURSEMENT by the county board
The salaries as fixed were only expert
mental and the workings of the court
have shown that they are in no way
in keeping with the work required
of the officials.

FIVE DAYS LIMIT
New Order Sent to Postmaster
in Regard to Holding of
UndeliYered Letters
new RULE IN EFFECT At ONCE

Postmaster John B. Maloney is in
receipt of new federal order which
tells of rule that has just gone into
effect which will affect many people
in Kenosha. The rule is not drastic
by any means but will be a big con-
venience to every one who writes
letter.
The rule in short is that in all cases
where the name of the sender of
letter appears on the envelope and no
time limit is given the letter will be
returned to him in five days instead
of 80 in case the person to whom it is
addressed is not located.
Up to the present time it has been
the custom to hold all letters where
the time limit is not given thirty
days before returning to the sender.
Many times the sender neglects to
put on the time he wishes the letter
to be held for the addressee and by the
new rule he is rehevd Of all doubt in
the matter.
There is still another phase to the
matter. When postmasters have been
obliged to hold letters thirty days it has
often been a great inconvenience to
them as the letters have been ia the
way, etc.
If man specifies, however, that
he wishes letter to be held ten, fif-
teen or thirty days the postofice de-
partment will do as directed. 1t is only
in cases where no instructions are Civ
en- that the mail will be returned in
FIVE days.
