Rumors OF law violations in the

but this is the first time that any ct

Deputy Sheriff Arthur Barrett and
Miss Launia Aussem were first to get
on the trail of the blind piggers and
they reported having discovered bocze

KRAMER SEPARATE

TAKES NEW TWIST
AGED MENDOZA RETIRED FARM
Err PAYS SUING WIFE LUMP
SUM AND ALL PROCEEDINGS
ARE TO RESOLVE SELVES INTO
DIVORCE.

Jacob Kramer, MendOta's age dsep-
arate maintenance defendant, today
wound up the troubles that have beset
him since his troubles with Mrs. Anna
Kramer, his brief courtship wife, be.
gan few years after their marriage.
The kramers were in the circuit court
last week airing their differences aud
the result was Jacob was ordered 10
pay his estranged spouse an annuity
of $500 and permit her possession Of
the home an dthe IS acres he has
leased" her in an ante-nuptial con
tract of more or less unusual prooor
tions. The tangle will now resolve
itself into absolute diorce and liber-
ty for the aged pair
Today Jacob, thru his attorneys II,
L. Nicholson and Ralph Madden, dis
missed an appeal that had been order
ed nj the maintenance suit, and Mrs.
Kramer dismissed two suits, one an
ejectment and the other claim for
rents, she had filed against Kramer,
II was announced an agreement
had been made between the aged cou-
pie and the whole countour of their
welded bliss and infeclities would
be altered. They agreed to separate
TO revermorc. Mrs. Kramer obtaining
divorce and Jacob being free to go
his way without the worry OF having
to pay the complainant alimony as ord
cred by Judge Eldredge.
1t is understood in coutr circles
that Kramer ade a cash settlement
with Mrs Kramer, thereby winning
his farm and home back, and freeing
himself from further alimOny Obliga-
tions, The amount was not announced
by lawyers but 1t is understood the de-
fendant gave to his victorious frau a
sum in excess of the value of the home
in Mendoza Enough, 1t was limited,
to pay off some Indebtedness she
claimed to have on parcel of her
chicago properly,
The suit in ejectment instituted D,
Mrs Kramer to get Kramer out OF the
house he owned and later she began
new proceedings to collect $4,000 back
rental on the lands he had given hel
life interest in under pre- nuptial
contract. The contract was so strong
ly worded that there was no room to
doubt that Kramer had given his wife
a life interest in the property as long
as she lived, as well as during his
life time. The property thus awarded
her was valued at about $2l, 900. The
settlements seemed satisfactory to
both sides, and thus endeth an cpl
sode that had the entire north end of
the county in turmoil whilst the diff
iiculties were being threshed out by
the warning factions.
