Walhood of Pekin, n. D., against
whom Antonio Nollcn Walhood OF this
city has pending in district court an
action for the annulment of her mar
riage on the ground of bigamy, has
come to the rescue of wife No. ..
Miss Nollen-as she calls herself
was recently required by the court to
furnish. further testimony tending to
absolutely prove the alleged first mar
riage of her husband. Chris Walhood.
permission was secured to take depo-
sitions. and the testimony of the first
wife, Clara Kittelson Walhood, was Sc
cured.
The deposition was taken last week
at Belle Fourche, S. D., before ]. w.
Rash. notary public. Mrs. Walhood
No. ! testified that her present home
was in Glen. Colo, and swore that she
was the wife of Chris Walhood, now
residing at Pekin, n. d. She stated
that she was married to him at Hud-
son. Wis, on Dec. 27.191O.

testified that his true name, however,
was Chris. and that it was wrongly
given in the marriage records at Hud-
son.

Casselton. N. D., May 20.-As the
Great Northern mail train was going
east the body Of a man was found
on the track Just north Of Addison,
SO horribly mangled that 1t was diff
cult to tell what had happened to him
except that he had been under the
wheels in all sorts Of ways. The
remains were brought here on. the
local coming north a little later, and
consigned to the are of Undertaken
Mcintyre. BY looking up the records
1t was found that the deceased had
been on a fast freight with q car Of
stock and goods Friday night, bound
for Williston. having a claim up that
way that he was. going to settle on.
How he got u nder the wheels will
never be known, as he was alone and
had not even been missed up to this
point. When no claim for the body
came the railroad records disclosed
the name Of Oscar Ness Of Starbuck,
MINI. Mr.. Mcintyre wired there and
soon had an answer from the father
of the unfortunate man, who came
up as quickly as he could and took
the body Of his son home.
Ness was 20 years Of age. His death
must have been accidental, as when
he was found he had on his person
some $50 in currency and several
checks.
