DIVORCE SUIT
ARGUED BEFORE
DISTRICT COURT

A night session was held in the
district court last night and the
case before the court was that of
Horace S. Hubbard for divorce from
his wife. Hubbard charged deser-
tion and his wife filed an answer
charging cruelty and asking for per-
manent alimony in the sum of
$4,000 and for temporary alimony.
The argument last night was in
regard to the temporary alimony.
The plaintiff charged his wife with
adultery and this was the ground
upon which the temporary alimony
was fought.
The court ruled that the defend
ant was entitled to the temporary
alimony in order TO make her de-
fense and ordered the plaintiff t.
pay 500 attorneys fees, cost oi
\ court and the defendants expense
from Cripple Creek, including hote
and other expenses necessary TO
her to appear in the district court
George Thatcher appeared for tn
plaintiff and ]. X. Chambers for tn
defendant.
