CUPID AND JUDGE
RUNNING MARATHON
JUNE BRIDES AND BRIDES OF
OTHER MONTHS - DIVORCE
MILL STILL IN OPERATION.

June brides? Wen, yes, there we're
a few created during the past month.
The records of the county judges Of
fee show that twenty-eight certifi-
Gates were issued by the clerk and
therefor twenty-eight souls, or rath-
er ifty-six souls made corresponding
ly happy.
Since the first day of January, 1911,
the clerk has been called upon (some
times from his warm couch, to issue
14S pair O. license that is up to Fri
day night, June 30th. January start
ed off with the greatest number.
thirty-fve; February hung up the
skiddoo number, twenty-three; March
was the lowest with only twenty;
April and May were tied up with twen-
ty-one each, and June comes along
with twenty-eight. 1t will he noted
that more weddings were had in Janu-
airy than any other month of the year
but Clerk Leeman accounts for that
from the fact that about that time
there were good prospects for a bump
er crop and the parties We're willing
to take a chance. Note the decrease
from then to the month of June; but
June is a month of brides anyhow and
is really no true marriage barometer.
While the wedding bells were merri-
~ ringing how about the other side
of the question? 1t has been truly
said that those who were out would
he in, and those who were in would
be out" so to verify this assertion
let us examine the records Of the dis
trict clerks office and discover just
how many have applied for separation
for causes set forth in their petitions.
To begin with, June the month of
brides. saw only five disconsolate par !
ties desiring a separation, but that |
was the smallest number filed any
month since the first of the year. All
told there has been even fifty appli-
cations filed for separation in the dis
trict court and the causes alleged in
the various suits cover nearly every
thing from descrtion to highway rob
berry while a preponderance of the
cases allege drunkenness as the rea-
son that a separation is necessary 10
the peace and happiness Of both par
tie concerned
In most of the cases where chill
dren are in the family it has been ask
ed in the petition that they he given
into the custody Of the mother as the
mother in nine cases out of ten is III"
plaintiff.
One noticeable feature is the small
number of cases filed wherein alimony
is asked This is accounted for from
the fact that the woman in the case
was so glad to get rid Of a worthless
husband that she didn't care 20 ever

And in the meantime there will be

GRANT EVANS INNOCENT
VERDICT IN Is MINUTES

1t took Latah county jury just
13 minutes by stop watch to deter
mine that U. S. Grant Evans was not
guilty of falsifying the records of the
Farmers Bank & Trust company of
Kendrick.
Arguments were completed, and the
case submitted to the jury at noon.
The jurors went at once to their din
ner and upon returning went into ses-
sion in the jury room, with the bank
records, and a couple of magnifying
glasses.
1t would almost seem that the jury
did not have time to enter upon an
examination of the exhibits at all, for
within 13 minutes they had elected a
foreman, taken ballot, and annunc-

ed that they were ready to report.
The record time made by the jury
in deciding the case, would indicate
that the evidence of Ed Atchison, the
prosecuting witness, was not consider
ed very seriously, but that the jurors,
impressed by the strong testimony of
disinterested parties, as we'll as the un-
shaken evidence of the accused man
himself, was convinced that Evans was
not the guilty party, and was not a
defaulter
The verdict gives great satisfaction
to Evans many friends in this city,
and to his many friends in the town
of Kendrick who have actively kept
in touch with the case through the
daily reports of the Star-Mirror.

session and began at 4 o'clock.
Diplomatic negotiations with Rus
