Judge Mccarthy Grants De-
cree to Defendant on
Cross-complaint in Hard
Fought Stevenson Case.
NO PROVISION FOR
SUPPORT BY COURT
Decision Holds That as ths
Wife Deserted Her Hus-
band Without Cause She
Cannot Claim Mantle
nance, but Leaves This
Question Open.

In the famous and hard fought di-
vorce case of Hildegarde Stevenson
| versus Joseph Stevenson, prominent
young people OF New York, Judge Nc
Carthy in decision handed down Sat-
urday evening, denied the plaintiff a
divorce upon the grounds or cruelty,
but granted the defendant divorce on
his cross complaint on the grounds of
desertion. The minor children are
awarded to the custody oe the mother
The court has asked for further au-
thorities from the plaintiffs counsel be-
fore passing upon the question of main
tenance for the children, but will re-
quire SIPS per month paid the mother
for their support unless absolutely
prohibited by the statutes from SO do
ing.
For years no divorce case in south
ern Idaho has attracted such wide at
tention as did that of Stevsnsons.
Married at a tender age at a time when
the boy husband was i'll, money for
their support was furnished by Stew
enson's father. After the wedding
they moved to California, where Mrs.
Stevenson, according to her testimony,
was changed from girlhood to woman
hood by the magic touch of mother
h cd.
STILL REMAINED A BOY.
The husband, however, according to
the allegations of Mrs. Stevenson, did
not change, but instead of coming to
realization of the responsibilities of
fatherhood, he continued an idle boy,
content to live on furnished income
instead of taking his place in the world
and becoming man.
Such conduct upon his part, the deli
cate and sensitive wife claimed, caused
her great mental suffering, which after
their return to New York, was further
aggravated by his frivolous conduct
until life with him became unbear-
able and she left his home.
In reviewing the testimony Judge
Mccarthy held that he does not find
that any of the incidents given in the
testimony singly or grouped together
and considered as course of conduct,
constituted extreme cruelty. He also

Caldwell. March 24.--Farm lands in
the surrounding communities aggre-
eating $35, 900, have been sold the pas

VERDICT FOR DEFENDANT
IN COMMERCIAL HOTEL CASE

Caldwell, March 24.-In the district
court this afternoon a verdict in favor
of the defendant was rendered in the
case of Langdon against Reilly.
The case was an action involving a
controversy in reference to rents on

mately $1,000 and that the rate of rent
al was $175 per month. The defend
ant declared that the original contra ct
provided for this rental, but that
through later verbal contract the
rental was reduced to 800 per month.
Following the completion of this case.

company against Castator was called.

held that because one party to the
marriage does not live up to all the
expectations and ideals of the other
party is not sufficient grounds for
divorce
LEFT WITHOUT CAUSE.
So far as the action for non-sup-
port is concerned Judge Mccarthy
held that as Mrs. Stevenson left her
husband without legal cause he was
not bound to support her when living
separate and apart from him. In this
connection the court holds: "As the
defendants alleged cruelty is the only
excuse for plaintiffs leaving him in
New York, and as l find that he was
not guilty of extreme. cruelty under
our statute. her leaving him was lot
justified. 1t was therefore desertion as
charged by the defendant unless il is
shown that he consented to 1t. Thus
the question of whether he consented
has vital bearing on whether she is
guilty of desertion as well as on her
cause of action for non-support The
question of whether he did consent is
somewhat subtle one in view of the
evidence in this case. MY under
standing from his testimony is that he
did not want her to leave him and
tried to hold her as his Wife How

POLAND China HOGS

A. L. Wilson Doing Much to
Bring About the Stand

Industry in Canyon

Caldwell. March 21.-To A. l.. Will
son, of Greenleaf, the well known
purebred Poland China hog breeder, is
as greatly to be credited the rapid
standardization Of the livestock indus
try in Canyon county and the coun-
tvs consequent reputation of being the
most highly advanced county in the
state in thu livestock industry as any
other citizen in the county. Mr., Will
son has long had a pronounced pen
chant for thoroughbred horses pure
bred cows and purebred hogs and his
farm is the admiration of lovers of fine
stock throughout Canyon county.
Anything is good enough for a
hog is an old saying that is true in
many communities, but it is a theory
which finds no favor at Mr.. Wilson's
farm. While in Iowa some three weeks
ago, he purchased a number of pure
bred Poland China hogs to strengthen
his already fine herd, and one of
these, Master Wonder" fine pure
