BREAKFAST ON WALL
Tale of Lively Family Debates Told in

Tales of fried eggs and boiled po-

told in the second division of the dis
trict court today in connection with
the divorce case of Elsie B. Dister
against John D. Dister.
Mrs. Dister filed a petition for n
divorce and Dister filed a ross-peti-
ton. The indications are that it will
be a warmly contested case before the
last witness is examined. Only the
preliminaries had been touched today.
Witnesses for Mrs. Dister testified
that one early morning when they
called at the Dister home they found
Mrs. Dister with a big bruise on her
side and most of the breakfast on the
walls.
e. d. McKeever. attorney for Dister
sought to show that Mrs. Dister was
going round and round and might
have struck her side on the table" but
he did not mention the eggs and po-
tatoes on the wall. However, he did
ask one of the witnesses if it was not
a fact that Mrs. Dister threw the first
knife. The witness did not know.
The Disters lived in North Topeka
They have three children and the tes-
ti1nony today showed that the eldest
years of age, has lived with Mrs
Dister's parents for six years. All the
witnesses SO far examined have testi-
fled in Mrs. Dister's behalf.
