ents the Palmer School of Chiroprac-
tic will begin this week the erection or

vacant at present. 1t is located be-

Locate Error On Candidates
Whether or not the city tickets of the
Incorporated towns of Scott county are
legal is the question which has been
submitted to County Attorney Jebens.
1t is said that the clerks of several
of the towns received notice that all
the candidates must file their nomi-
nation papers not later than 10 days
before election. The law provides
that nominees shall file not later than
Is days before the election. In most
of the towns, it is claimed, the ma
jority of the candidates did not file
their papers until after the Is day
limit had expired believing that they
had until 10 days before election to
file. Whether or not those who filed
after the Is day limit are legal candi-
dates will now be up to the county
attorney to determine.

Is Manson Woman Married lis The
marriage of William Manson to his
/ niece, consummated over 20 years Az
in Norway, legal? That is the ques
ton that is now disturbing the gray
matter of police officials, who an,
nounce that they do not wish to prose
cute Geroge Linzy, now being held al
the police station on technica
! charge. Manson, the husband of the
woman, who is also his niece, admits
that they were married, and also thai
he is blood relative of his wife. AT
ter living with him for IS years, She
/ ran away and since then has beer
living as the wife Of Linzy. The ful
/ details of the story of the woman!
life came out recently. Both Manson
and his wife are willing to have a di
| vorce. The marriage has only been {
convenience for Manson for the pas
/ few years. According to the mar
rage laws of Norway, marriage be
tween blood relatives is illegal. Wher
/ these two were married they VIOLATED
/ the laws OF the country. Therefor,
the union is not valid in this state
where marriage between relatives o
direct line is prohibited. If tn,
union contracted in Norway is illeg
| al, that will make the three children
| illegitimate. The adyisability OF OBJ
tanning divorce or annulling the frs
marriage is now being discussed. /
is probable that Linzy, who announce
his intention of marrying the woman
with whom he has been living for tn
past two years, will not be prosecuted
