were granted, while a third case was
taken under Amusement.

Chacey. TIE woman was 10 years old
when she married Chacey eight years
ago. She is now the mother of three
children ard told the court of frequent
mistreatIncnt and abuse at the hands
of her husband. Chacey is much older
than his sirl-wife and Mrs. Chacey
told the court that the man refused
to work or provide for his family.
Judge Dana took the case under adj
visement and an effort will probably
be made to bring the delinquent hus-
band and father before the court for a
statement Of his neglect.
Frank Rrozicelz was given 4 divorce
from Lottie Brozieck TO whom he was
married in New York city more than
seven years ago. The husband said he
was unable to find employment as a
plumber in New York and carGe to To-
Pel1a. where he has been working for
several years. His wife refused to come
to Kansas or send their daughter here.
SO Rrozieek took his sorrows to the
courts.

from Charles B. Patrick on the grounds
of gross neglect. The court also re-
stored her maiden name, Mabel
