these alleged combinations were said
to be local in character. All data

"Dear Grandmother:

BEN STONE SERIOUSLY INJURED
Gravel Pit Caves In, Causing Internal
Injuries.

Tuesday morning at about II o'clock
Ben Stone, who resides a short dis
tance south of Mayf1ower lake on the
Norrie road, was seriously injured by
the cave in of a gravel pit. He was
employed with a crew on state road
work, and when the mass of gravel
and sand gave way he was wedged
tightly against a wagon which was
being loaded. The pressure was great
and as soon as he was released it was
found that he had undoubtedly re-
ceived internal injuries.
DR.. Baker was called, and took the
patient on the evening train to the
hospital at Wausau Examination
showed three ruptures of the small
and one of the large intestine. The
injured man seemed to realize the
seriousness of his condition and in
sisted that he was going to die. Ac-
cording to reports there seems but
little hope for his -Birnam-

DIVORCE TO CLINE
Husband of Woman Who Was
Involved With BOlinger.
Commonplace Proceedings After
Original Sensation.

Roy Cline was granted a divorce
from Mrs. Cline by A. w. Dana, judge
of the first division of the district
court, today.
In light of developments, preceding
the filing of Cline's petition, today 8
hearing was most commonplace pro-
ceeding. Cline was present with lis
attorney. Mrs. Cline was represented
by an attorney but was not present.
Judge Dana heard Cline's story, read
the petition and granted the decree.
Two sensations preceded the filing
of the Cline divorce petition. A To-
peka attorney left town and remained
away because of one of them. Mrs
Cline left and stayed away because of
the other.
Last summer Mrs. Cline was leaving
town to visit in Missouri. Her hus-
band suspected something after she
left the house and followed her to the
Union Pacific station. He reached
there just as Mrs. Cline and A J.
Bolinger, an attorney, were boarding
the train. Bolinger protested that he
was merely representing Mrs. Cline
as an attorney upon some matter Cline
knew nothing about. Cline failed TO
stop them.
Later Bolinger prepared a petition
for Mrs. Cline asking for a divorce
from Cline. 1t became noised about
llic1I IiIC pStlllOu IldQ Deen Drawn ana
members of the Shawnee county bar
association warned Bolinger not to file
1t. He Iiled it. and the same day Clad
Hamilton and d. H. Branaman filed a
cross-petition for Cline making some
sensational charges against Bolinger
and the woman, involving automobile
rides around Topeka, a night at a
hotel, trip to Kansas City, and vari-
Gus other matters.
The first petition was Withdrawn.
Bolinger was given a date for a hear
ing before a committee from the
Shawnee County Bar association. He
did not appear at the meeting. He
was not in Topeka His law office was
closed and later his law books were
shipped to Kansas City. Acquaintances
say Bolinger is now practicing law in
Kansas City.

ON BIGAMY CHARGE
Mr.. and Mrs. C. NJ. White of High
land Park Are Arrested.

Bigamy is the charge placed against
Mr. and Mrs. c. M. White of High
land Park following the discovery
that Mrs. White was Mrs. Nellie
BLAZER until the 14th of this month
They were arrested Thursday night
at their home by Robert Tasker and
Joe Holman. deputy sheriffs, and gave
bond Immediately.
Mrs. White has been married four
times White has been married twice
and has four chilren. He was d.
vorced nearly two years ago.
Under the Kansas law divorce de-
cree is not absolute until six mon(ls
after it is granted. Mrs. Blazier was
granted a divorce from her husband
and put into possession of valuable
property the middle of this month. 1t
is charged that she and White went
to Kansas City a few days ago and
were married under the Missouri laws.
But the fact that they were married in
another state has no effect when they
return to Kansas to live.
When the officers reached the
White home last night they were de-
MED admittance, and announced they
were going in anyway. Mrs. White
declared White was not there. While
Holman was searching the kitchen
Tasker saw White slip upstairs
through a hall Holman stopped him
and the two were placed under arrest
