HAS TWO HUSBANDS.


Council Bluffs. Nov. 30.--Mrs. Jennie
Allgood has brought suit in district
court for annulment of her marriage to
Thomas c. Allgood, whom she married
In Council Bluffs July &c. 1914, on the
grounds that a former husband. whom
she had not heard from since 1902, has
been found to be alive.
In her petition Mrs Allgood states
that she formerly was wife of one Will
liam Weik, whom she married at
Blackwell, Okla. and who deserted her
in 1902. For eleven years, she AYERS,
she had no word of him and then she
met Allgood, who advised her that it
would be unnecessary for her to secure
divorce, presumably on common
but erroneous theory that a man un-
heard-of for seven years is considered
legally dead. At any rate, she married
Allgood without first securing a d.
vorce from Weik.
She alleges that she recently has
learned that Weik is alive and has
never been divorced from her. where
fore she prays that her marriage to
Allgood be nullified and she restored to
her status as the wife of Weik.

to the nation and TO the world which

the work of State Chairman Rawson
and County Chairman Saverude and Of
the republican voters of the county in
his behalf Governor Harding took the
theme for the more serious part of his
speech from the remarks of George r.
Henry, the first speaker, who had de-
Clared that the next four years the

trolling the destinies of this nation
