1T is true said Manager Treleaven,
that at critical times the Kansas

gas that all cities will receive an equal

possible last night. But let me tell you,
Topeka always has had her share and
sometimes more than her share

DIVORCE LEADS IN LYON

Family Quarrels.

Emporia, Kan, Jan. 5.-Three hun
bred and five cases we're filed in the
Lyon county district court last year.
These represented the legal difficulties
of Lyon county citizens; the entangIe-
ments, from whose settlement twelve
or fifteen lawyers made livings for
themselves and their families; the
violations of the peace of Lyon coun-
ty and their punishment in court,
which made necessary the machinery
of court and prosecutor and sheriff s
force. OF the number. 242 are civil
suits, and sixty-three criminal actions.
The majority of them have been set
tied. 1t was among the largest years
of court business in the history of the
district court
There were more cases for divorce
than criminal actions. Sixty-five IN
congenialities of marriage grew so bad
that they had to be taken to the court
on a plea of separation.
