In Rotten Condition

| There is simply no use IN trying TO
mince matters any longer or in with
holding the knowledge from the people
that the Pere Marquette railroad bed
from Port llnrOn to saginaw is in a
rotton condition, which will bring dis
aster sooner or later. unless some radi-
cal changes are effected.
The number of wrecks occurring on
this road the past few years is APPALLING.
That there have been no more deaths
is due to the fact that freights have
largely been the victims instead of
passenger trains. The wrecks in most
cases have been caused 10y spreading of
rails and this has been due to rotten
ties. Negligence in keeping up this
road i'm better condition is shameful
and outrageous. Public safety de.
mands better conditions.
Only a few weeks since eight or ten
freight cars were piled on top of each
other a couple of miles east OF here and
heavy expense incurred besides delay
ing traffic. Last week twice as many
cars were thrown from the track sever
al miles north of us with more expense
and more danger. Cause of both
wrecks, rotten ties.
Last week thursday evening a freight
train coming from Port Huron discoy-
cred, IN time luckily, that a big piece
was torn out OF the rail at the north
end of the bridge near Avoca. a
brakeman was left to flag the evening
passenger train, which stopped OH the
south end of the bridge and then crept
slowly across. The passengers were
'thoughtfully" kept i'll ignorance of
their imminent danger, had they
known, panic might have ensued. If
this train had run over the bridge as
usual we should have been obliged to
chronicle a terrible accident with broken
coaches heaped up many feet below
and the shrieks and groans from in
iured and dying people, many our own.
1t comes close home does it not, and
therefore we are anxious to know what
| can be done.

STATE SUPREME COURT RULES
ON RIGHTS TO REMAR7Y
OUT OF STATE.
EASY METHOD PROVIDED
TO EvADE IOWA LAWS
Divorced Persons May Go Out Of State,
Rsmarry and Return to Iowa Without
Violation Of Statutes-Ruling Made
In Case Wherein Husband Prosecute
Divorced Wife.

Des Notnes. April 10.-A brand new
Tcrce laws OF the state was made by
the supeme court this morning in an
opinion handed down In the case
brought by Josiah Dudley against Lu-
ella NJ. Dudley-Mullen TO modify a de-
cree OF divorce.
The gist of the opinion OF the court
is that person can be divorced in this
state. then go into Nebraska and be
married and return and live in Iowa,
without viola ting the Iowa law which
forbids divorces from remarrying
within one year.
The court holds that the effect of the
law Is only territorial, and that Mrs.
Dudley did not violate either the law o.
ter her divorce from Dudley she went
into Nebraska a few weeks later and
married Mullen. to return almost i'm
mediately to Iowa to live.
Dudley based the action against his
former wife on the grounds that she
was not divorced and that she had vio-
lated the laws Of Nebraska, which are
similar to the Iowa divorce laws.
He sought to have the original de-
cree modified SO that he could have the
custody OF their child
1t was commended that inasnuch as
the Iowa divorce laws prohibit di-
vorcees from re1narryinE within one
year, and the Nebraska laws prohibit
likewise, that she had violated the
terms of her divorce decree. The high
cour, places different construction on
the law, however.
