Omaha Girl Named
In Suit to Recover
Ring and Freedom


There's spot in the heart Of
Clarence A, Forbes, Arkansas farm
er, which is somewhat embittered
against city girls. Asserting that he
has been "stung" by Miss winifred
Rowe, 27ll North Eighteenth street
an Omaha bookkeeper, he has filed
suit with the clerk of the district
court asking not only the annulment
OF his engagement TO her, but also the
return of SIPS diamond ring.
Forbes says he became engaged
to Miss Rowe December IS, 1914,
when he gave her, as an earnest of
his love, the diamond engagement
ring. Then he went back to HIS farm
and returned to his Omaha sweet
heart in October, 1915. Instead OF a
warm welcome, she gave him, he
says, cold reception. She refused
to invite him out to her home and
she did sundry other things unbe-
coming his bride-to-be. Also she abb
solutely refused TO release him from
his engagement pact and scorned his
request to return the diamond ring.
Again Forbes went back to the
cows and chickens. 1t was May, 1916,
when he returned again to Omaha.
He VOWS that she treated him with
the same frigidity as on his recent
visit and that she again disdained
his offer to cancel their engagement
and to give back to him that $l25
diamond.
Forbes now asks the court to COM
pei Miss Rowe to do what she has
refused repeatedly to do of her own
volition.
