Divorce Proceedings in Mon.rose

Mrs. May Bryant filed suit for di-
worse against f. S. Bryant in Mont
rose the first of the week Mrs Bry-
ant claims that her husband drew out
Si.5O0-all they had. from bank in
Greeley. deserted her year ago. and
came to Montrose, where he deposited
the money in the First National bank
OF that city. She asks one-half of the
money, $40 per month alimony and at
torney's fees. C. J, Moynahan is her
attorney.

PRICE FIVE CENTS

his wife, as had been intimated.
The defendants mother was a wit
ness for her son, and through letters
written by her to Mrs. Hoppe of this
county, it was shown that both she and
her son had exerted every effort to
have Mrs. Reed think that Reed was
so far away and so mysteriously locat-
ed that he never could get back or be
located. One or two letters written
by the defendants mother from Daw-
son, n. NJ, to Mrs. Hoppe were pro-
duced in court and in one of these the
writer stated that Reed, her son, had
gone to Salt Lake, and from there
she did not know just where he had
gone or would go. Another pictured
him as going elsewhere in the world.
1t was shown that the mother and
son were in Dawson al the time.
The case was given to the jury at
about 6 o'clock Friday evening. They
went to supper and after returning to
the jury room Immediately after sup
per. reported their verdict in fifteen
minutes. Judge Dingman at once an
nounced sentence of one year in the
state penitentiary, and on Saturday
morning, at suggestion of the prose-
cutting attorney and consent of the
court, the prisoner was given chance
to furnish bond in the sum of $1,000
to insure payment of SIS per month
for support of his children. He would
thus gain his liberty on parole.
Defendants brother departed at once
for Dawson where he hoped to be able
to get this bond, but up to the present
time no word has come from him
and Reed is yet waiting in the
county Jail.

SCHOOL NOTES

ness.
Miss Stella Alcornback, OF Los An

omore this week.
Mr.. Hendershot. with smiling count
enance. is again with us. We missed
him greatly while he was out three
days last week with la grippe.
DIR. Cook. the high school visitor
from the University OF Colorado, was
with us Monday. and a part of Tuesday
and gave the students two splendid
talks. besides visiting the classes. He
reports the work in good shape. but he
says the quarters are too crowded. a
fact evident to every visitor.
One of the most pleasing and enter
tanning features of the Junior program
last Friday was an exhibition in magic
by Paul Steel, assisted by John Ash
ley. Other numbers in the program
were a solo by Leslie Ray, and a reci-
tation bv Erma Lamson.
The Senior class rings have arrived.
and the seniors are justly proud of
them. To celebrate the occasion they
apeared in chapel Tuesday morning
wearing Kewpie wings of the class

seemed quite proud of her "Cherub

Little Change In
War Situation

The war situation over in Europe
among the cousins-is replica of a
week ago.
The fighting goes on here and
there Notwithstanding Henry Ford's
dispatches to the warning nations to
let up" until he gets there-he and
Ben Lindsey and Helen Ring-Around-
the-Rosie Robinson-the two latter
from Colorado.
BY the way we read joke the other
day that ought to help some in stop
ping the war, if it could be circulated
along the battle lines:
why did they stop making flivvers
when the peace party started?" asked
Jobson. "Oh," replied Hopson, be
case they ran out of nuts"
In fact, we question if there could be
better course open to Henry Ford
than to tell the many stories about the
'flivver" to the war lords of Europe.
1t might kill the W. rs. but, with them
out of the way, there would be no more
fighting.
Although Greece territory is being
occupied by belligerants, tacitly by
permission of Greece, that nation still
alleges neutrality.
The drive reports are back and forth
along the battle lines, with not
enough guarantee of being authentic to
give them credence
The tired feeling among all the ma.
tions engaged is more apparent day by
day. That all of them would like to
quit, If they knew just how, is evil
dent. The maneuvering is getting to
be much like two tired roosters-neith
er quite, but both nearly whipped
feinting. lodging, retreating and
charging. and occasionally stopping
long enough to crow if at discreetly
safe distance.
There are however still some great
battles, in which many thousands are
reported killed, wounded or taken pris
oners; still the havoc of ruin and prop
erty destruction.

Death of Earl
Denton Friday

The death of Earl Irwin Denton. 25
years of age, occurred at about four
o'clock last Friday morning after sew
eral years of suffering from tubercu-
lar troubles and during the latter part
of which he was entirely helpless and
was wheeled or lifted about from place
to place.
Earl Denton and his young wife
came to this city from their home in
Hoopston, Illinois, about two and one
half years ago, hoping to find the
change in climate and altitude bene-
ficial to the former, but the disease
had taken too strong hold upon him
and death came at the hour above
stated as the only relief for the suf-
ferer. He leaves to mourn his death
a devoted wife and two brothers, one
of whom was with him during the last
few months of his life.
Funeral services were held in the
Church of Latter Day Saints on North
Main street at 2 o'clock Sunday af-
ternoon and interment was in Delta
cemetery.
