SACHS ARE ALMOST
SECRETLY DIVORCED
Insurance Brokers Case Not on
Calendar and Is Taken Up
After Usual Hours

Begun with the utmost secrecy more
than a week ago, the divorce suit of
Walter G. Sachs. well known insurance
broker, against Edna NJ Sachs, was
ended with an almost equal degree of
secrecy yesterday afternoon. With his
attorney, Henry Ach, Sachs visited
Judge Van Nostrand's court after 4
O'Clock, at time when the room was
deserted, and was granted a decree on
the ground of technical desertion- The
case was not on the calendar Of the
days business.
That Walter Sachs and his wife were
living apart was well known TO their
friends but that divorce proceedings
had been instituted was a secret be-
tween themselves and their attorneys
until Sachs entered court late yester-
day afternoon.
When the complaint was filed with
the county clerk on Monday of last
week some one in Mulcrevy's Office was
kind enough TO secrete it in a drawer
or box not available to public inspec-
ton.
Sachs is said to be a wealthy man.
BY the terms of the divorce decree,
assigned by Judge Van Nostrand, he
relinquishes to his wife stocks. bonds
and realty of the value of about $50, 900.
This, however, comprises property
which belonged to her at the time of
their marriage six years ago. Their
home a 81 Presidio avenue was award
ed to Mrs. Sachs.
The trial occupied about four min
utes. Sachs testified that for more than
a year his wife had been guilty of con-
structive desertion, and corroborative
testimony was given by Dr. Morris
Hertzstein. Mrs. Sachs was represent
ed in court by Attorney Samuel Rosen-
helm, but@he asked no questions of the
witnesses. An answer was fled yes
terday by Mrs. Sachs, in which she de-
MED deserting her husband, but inti-
mated that he was welcome to a
divorce if he allowed her possession Of
her separate property. BY the decree
Mrs Sachs was authorized to resume
the use of her maiden name of Edna
NJ. Meyer.

Colfax Wins Two Out of Three Games
with ZwOlle.

The crack base ball team from
Zwolle arrived i'm Colfax last Tuesday
at noon, and local base ball fans
were treated to three of the best
games of the season. on Tuesday.
Wednesday and Thursday. The first
game was called at 4 p. m. Tuesday
on the high school diamond, and
came mighty near resulting in a shut
ont for the Zwolle boys, they scoring
only one run in the seventh inuing.
Colfnx had scored two runs previous
ly by good hard playing. but try all
they could neither team could score
again and the final score stood 2 to
l in favor of Colfax.
The second game on Wednesday,
however, resulted in shut out of
the home boys by a score Of 4 to o.
This was not the result of poor play
ing but was caused by Colfax's first
baseman getting knocked out aud
almost killed in the sixth inning 10y
Zwolle base runner, thus deInOraliz-
ing the home team and letting in the
four runs of the game in the sixth
aud seventh innings.
Colfax came back to her own again
in the third game, scoring four times
to Zwolle's two times in the hardest
fought game of the series. This gives
Colfax the credit of beating one oi
the best amateur teams IN Central
Louisiana, and with this feather in
their cap they are now ready to take
on any corners.
