three men, dashed into the village Of

Nagged Husband Gets Laws Sympathy

d GONE. IA.--Judge r. M. Wright OF
u Fort Dodge. presiding jurist OF this
judicial district, has handed down a
decision which is regarded as most
remarkable legal document. Coming.
as it does. from jurist who is kindly,
home loving, and a tender-hearted old
man, 1t is all the more remarkable.
Judge Wright recently listened to
the evidence in a suit for separate
maintenance. His kindly face betrayed
nothing OF what was to come in the
opinion handed down.
He says that If the good Lord ever
made a man who could live at ease
and comfort with the woman who was
suing he would like to see him, for he
would be a phenomenon. The opinion
has been read by all attorneys In this
city and is attracting much attention.
"A bright. capable and fairly good
looking woman" says the judge. has
obtained divorce from two husbands
on the ground of desertion and has
two or three times brought actions for
divorce against her present husband.
based on no just ground, needlessly
putting him to great and inexcusable
expense in paying costs and attorneys
fee on both sides
Il have given this case much
thought. care and attention. and have
tried to find from the evidence some
way whereby could decide In her
favor and award to her some money
for maintenance. but have been un-
able to do so.
