married in 1891 before he left for the
new world. He alleged in his petit
ton that since he came to this coun'
try he had repeatedly sought to induce
her to join him in America but that
she refused.
On behalf of the wife in Greece, q
son, Mike Chianakas, by counsel in
Council Bluffs, filed an answer deny
ing that the plaintiff had e. asked
the defendant to join him or sent her
money to enable her to do SO. By
the same channels, also, there was
filed for the defendant a motion ask,
ing the court to order the defendant
to pay into the hands Of the clerk
of the court a sum sufficient to pay the
expenses of the wife to make the trip
from her native land to join the hus-
band in Council Bluffs. The divorce,
however was granted on the showing
made by the plaintiff.
Carrie Siebecker was granted a di'
vorce from w. J. Siebecker, whom she
charged with cruel and 1nhuman treat.
