MAY NOT GET THE MONEY.
Mrs. Hecl1le Finds Husbands Wages
Can't Be Touched.

Mrs. Ben Heckle, who came to Topeka
to find her delinquent husband, may not
be able to collect Heckle's wages from
the railway company. A portion of the
wages disappeared this morning when
Judge Carver granted a judgment to T.
E. Granger for $3.50 to cover the derelict
husbands board bill and oyerruled a mo-
ton for an exemption on the part of Mrs.
Heckle.
More than a year ago Heckle left his
happy home in Quincy, Illinois, and came
Santa Fe railway. Since that time Mrs.
HeckIe and the two daughters have
searched for their husband and father
Only recently they learned that Heckle
was in Topeka. The mother and children
then came to Topeka and caused Heckle's
arrest under the desertion act.
In Judge Schoch's court, Heckle plead
ed guilty and was sentenced to 80 days in
the county jail and fined $780, After the
sentence there was a reconciliation be-
tween the husband and wife. Through the
bars of the county Jail, Heckle told his
wife he still loved her and would be just
the best husband in the world if the
court would release him. Then Heckle
wrote the probate judge a letter, but it
failed to bring the expected parole.
Heckle later gave his wife an order for
his wages, but the money was tied up
under the garnishment proceedings. Judge
Carver crippled the Woman'S chances to
recover the money when he oVerruled affi-
davits in exemption on the ground that
Heckle had not previously used his earn
| ings to support the wife and children.

Saguache.-An irrigation district to

has been organised. Nearly all OF the

Il \ proposed that this land hs

In IN immense reservoir to be built

foothills north to saguache, and thence
to Villa Grove, where 1t will cross the
San Luis creek and continue south
along the base Of the Sangre de
Cristo range to the Baca land grant
