Years and Prices Are High.

There is no scarcity OF Christmas
turkeys. but the demand at the
present prices has not been exactly
what the dealers have desired. The
price, which was rs cents a pound in
the central market and % cents in
the outskirts of the city, Thursday,
dropped a cent, Friday.
All the dealers say they have
enough fowl for their trade. although
the supply is a little short of last
year. John Faltis. of the Faltis
market, which handles the largest
quantity of fowl, said that his con-
Germ had sold 100000 pounds of

bird would make about 10000 sacri-
fees 10 the Christmas meal The
supply, he said. was somewhat short

COURT GENEROUS
WITH DIVORCES
Judge Rohnert Grants Many in Con.
gested Pref Christmas Session
Usual Tales of Woe Tol6.

Oscar Bornholt, a clean-cut, we'll
dressed young man, offered some spicy
testimony, Friday morning, in one of
the biggest divorce sessions OF the
year Judge Rohnert presided. and
only one decree was refused. In that
case another witness will have TO be
found.
Mr.. Bornholt, who boarded at No,
f43 Lafayette blvd, testified that on
the night of Sept 6, 1910. he missed
his wife from his side, and later found
her in the apartments OF another
roomer A decree was granted after
the husbands testimony was corrob-
Grated.
That Wesley Smith spent his honey
moon on one grand "souse' was the
testimony OF Mrs. Loretta Smith. Two
days after the wedding she said he
went on a spree which continued for
several days. This proved his regular
program.
Mrs. Jennie Wilson made her Sec
ond venture in matrimony on Thanks
giving day. 1905. but it turned out
bad" she told the court. MY hus-
band was cruel to me, and he was
them severely and more than once
choked them until they had bleeding
OF the nose" The final separation
came when Wilson insisted that his
wife get out and support him.
1t was also Anna Forsythes second
marriage when she was united TO John
Forsythe in 1908. She had some in
surance left by her first husband and
as long as that lasted, she said, John
was good to her. When the money
was gone Forsythe also insisted that
his wife go to work to support him.
Vera Howard, aged 19, of Highland
Park. testified that during the three
months she lived with Martin Howard
he insisted on buying all the groceries.
During that time he squandered just
$4.70 cents with the storekeeper Oc-
casionally she said. Martin would be-
come real generous and then would
send up soup bone, but it was usual
ly more bone than meat.
That his wife wouldn't leave dear
old London, Ont, was the charge made
by Arthur Munro, chauffeur for B. c.
Whitney. They were married in the
Canadian city on New Years day,
1907, with the expectation Of moving
to Detroit, but after the ceremony he
said she refused TO leave her home.
If Arthur can get witness to corrob-
crate his story decree will be given
him.
Mabel Meier objected to living with
Charles j. Meier because of his habit
of spanking her with a table leaf
when affairs in the Meier household
didn't go just to suit him. She said
he was insanely jealous.
Pleasure trips out of town In the
company OF other men and women
wrecked the happiness of Fred and
Rose V. Northrup, the husband told
the court, and in this he was corrob-
Grated by his mother. She said his
wife was away frequently for several
days at a time, and the only reply he
got to his inquiry as TO where she had
been was, tits none OF your bust
