the history of Cochise county There were an even dozen parties in court that wished to have their marital bonds dissolved. Some of them were contested, but not much of fight was made by the defendants. The actions were brought under nearly every | ground that is allowed by the statutes | of Arizona, from the minor charges to those of a grave nature. The tes- timony in some of the cases was rath- CT spicy and there were all sorts of tales of, what the defendant had done to wound the feelings of the other Desertion was the ground in several of them. Nine of them were from Bisbee parties and the balance from Douglas. The majority of the cases were tried during the morning hours, and the balance disposed of during the afternoon.
 Among the cases tried were: Julian A. Poppe of Bisbee vs Ida May Poppe in which a divorce was granted.
 Jesus Mendoza vs Diores Mendoza, decree was denied as it was shown as the parties had been living togeth- CT since the case was filed and that there had been no assertions as all legged in the complaint. The parties were also from Bisbee.

 Decision Expected
 Word is expected soon from the Su- preme Court in Phoenix as to whether or not the bootleggers that have ap- pealed their cases from the judge ment rendered against them in the Superior Court here are to be admit ted to bail or not pending the hearing of the appeal. The matter was argued before the Supreme Court about ten days ago and it was understood by the attorneys interested in the case that a decision was to be handed down within a short time. If the mo- tion is granted for bail there are a number who are now held in the county jail who will be able to furnish it, among them being O. s. French, Paul Welich, Sam Woods and several others.
