A woman must trail her husband
| from place to place wherever he de-
cides to go. She has, under the laws
of this state, absolutely no choice in
the matter and must abide by the de-
cision of her husband whenever he
instructs her to follow him into some
| new field.
To fail to follow is desertion, and
desertion is a legal ground for divorce.
These facts came to light yesterday
when Judge Davis granted a divorce to
| Thomas B. Lindsey from Helen A.
Lindsey when it was shown that she
had refused to follow her husband to
Idaho. although to do so would prob
ably have meant great financial loss t.,
| her and the detriment of an excellent
ranch in CALIFORNIA that was part Of
her separate estate
| The law makes no distinctions. The
husband may be planning for the ben
eft of their community interests or he
may be trying to swindle his wife out
of their property by taking her away
| from her own land. If she refuses to
go, her disobedience is a legal ground
for separation and a proper showing
Of this fact in a court Of law is suffi-
Gent reason for the granting of divorce
regardless of other considerations.
| This Is the first case of the kind
that has come before me since l have
been district Judge" said Judge Davis

case are such that it makes me hot
| to think that the law forces me to grant
| a divorce under such conditions. had

not have had it had not it been shown
that she refused to obey his instruc-
| tons and come to this state WREN he

| Although he was carpenter by
trade, he hired other carpenters to
build the home for which she paid
