asking for $4,000 damages. The
plaintiff wants $4,000 damages
from the defendants, who he
charges conspired With Elda M.
Karschner to remove his two chill
dren from Harrison county, Ia, to
Nebraska on April 1. On the sec
ond cause of action he wants
$4,000, claiming that they alien
ated the affections of his wife,
Elda M. Karschner, by advising
her to leave the plaintiff and come
TO Nebraska and that they fur
nished her the money to come to
that state. 1t is charged that the
wife of the plaintiff was induced
to give testimony against him in
a case wherein he was falsely ac-
cused of kidnapping his own dau-
ghter and that support was fur
nished to Mrs. karschner in order
TO keep her in Nebraska. The
plaintiff says that the acts of the
defendants have caused him great
physical and mental pain and he
has been compelled to pay out
large sums of money to protect
himself and he has lost much
valuable time.

y. ii. Q. i. MEETING.

The Christian church was filled
to Overlooking last night by loyal
American men and women anx-
ious to do their duty toward the
Army Y. NC. A. Rev. Miller
gave the invocation, after which
l.. r.. Pike, township chairman,
took charge of the meeting. He
introduced G. w. Kellogg, county
chairman, who, in a few brief
words, outlined the object of the
meeting and explained to the au-
dience just what part Harrison
county had to play in the raising
of the s35, 100000 now asked for.
Hon. C. Ct. Saunders of Council
Bluffs was then introduced and
for an hour he held the undivided
attention of his hearers, explain
ing the magnificent work being
done by the Army Y. M. C. A. He
gave many concrete examples of
what this organization is doing
and can do for the boys in the
army. The 'sY'' occupies a place
not even approached by any 9TH
er organization, and keeps the
minds and bodies of our soldiers
clean and wholesome. 1t is not
necessarily church organiza-
ton, but is simply Il man to man
affair-an organization directing
the activities of our boys toward
wholesome sports and activities.
The talk of Mr.. Saunders was
enthusiastically received and will
produce good without a doubt.
The meeting was closed by the
singing of the Star Spangled
Banner" led by a chorus of
picked voices, and the bencdiction
was given by Rev. Gunderson.
The Y. M. G.. A. drive is to be
this week and it is hoped each
one will give as he feels able. No
one is expected to give beyond his
means, but everyone who is loyal
is expected to give something.
