COMMON LAW WIFE
Interesting Property Contest in
Court at Hurley, Turner
County

nuIiey, Oct. S.-Une OF the most
peculiar law situations aver Develop
ing In South Dakota has arisen in
the Eight for the $35, 900 estate Of
Nels F. Swenson, of Turner county,
who was killed in An automobile &C.
cident, last February. Although
Swenson was supposed to be q bach
elor the court litigants for the estate
include these three forces:
Alma Mortensep, supposed to have
been acting as his housekeeper, who
presents evidence that she was his com.
mon Law wife.
A young woman employed in the
Davidson Bros. store in Sioux City,
who claims to be Swenson's natural
daughter.
Four brothers and sisters.
The fight is strictly a three cornered
affair, each division claiming to be
the only and sbolute heir and deny
ing the inheritance right of the other
claimant. At the present time the
court contest, now pending at Parker,
rests upon the application of Alma
Mortenson, to be designated as sd-
ministrstor of the estate.
The alleged common law wife was
turned down by the county probate
court. in her application for admins
t%Istion, and the present action is on
appeal to the circuit court. The hear
ing each day is attended by a very
large crowd, including many women.
Alma M~ortenson's claim that she
was Swenson's common law wife is sop
ported by testimony Of her father.
Soren Mortensen. and by her mother
and sister.
Her story, in substance, is that Nels
+. Swenson. a neighbor and supposed
bachelor, commenced paying court to
her; that about October 1. 1911, he
asked ner, in the hearing of her PAL
ents aud others, to 60 to Sioux City
and get married. The parents at first
objected, as she was only IS, while
the man was about 40, but they finally
consented.
While on the way to Sioux City in a
buggy, she relates. Swenson told her
of his obj ction to preacher msrrisg
es" and induced her to participate in
an agreement marriage. On their
return home the parents were in
formed of their new relations and,
after some objections, accepted the
situation.
She says that she took up her abode
in Swenson's home as his commo
law wife and that she continued the
relation until his death on February
A, 1913. They were ~cbsrivaried by
nighbors. Swenson paid her bills, in
GLIDING tuition at a dressmaker's es-
t~ablishment in viborg.
So far about so witnesses have been
examined In this case, which probably
will occupy the balance of the week.
In the southern part Of the county,
where the parties live, and where
Swenson lived, the case il the senss
ton of the year.
The relatives contesting Alma Nor
tensions application have introduced y
large amount Of testimony 10 the way
of establishing that she was merely
employed as housekeeper. Tue alleged
common law wife has a babe In her
arms, born August 80, 1918, which
she testi6es to be the son OF Nels y.

1t was a Stradivarius. made in 1882.
and one of the violins shown in the

the practice of Ysaye, as of every other
great player, to carry with him two
violins, so that in case of accident he
might have one to fall back upon.
The stolen one was left unattended in

A SKELETON IN THE CLOSET
Tragic Story of the Origin of the Fa-
milar Expression.

miliar Expression.
"a skeleton in the Cupboard is a
familiar expression which has a trag ic
origin. The story is that a certain
widow in England had a son in India,
but owing to his failing health his
mother became very anxious for his
return. One day she received a letter
from him containing the strange re-
quest that she should find some one
who had no care or trouble and ask her
to make six shirts for him.
Anxious to accede to his wishes, the
mother hunted long and finally found
a lady who apparently fulfilled the
condition. The lady listened in silence
to the request and then invited the
widow into her bedroom, and there she
opened a cupboard, which contained a
human skeleton.

keep my trouble to myself but every
night my husband compels me to kiss
that skeleton, which> was once his ri

Then the mother wrote to her son OF
the fruitless errand, and his reply was
