sPoUcEs.
SEVENTH HUSBAND
OBTAINS DECREE
Twenty two Year Old Dss Moinss
Woman, Married Eight Times, 10
Made Defendant in Two Divorce
Suits-husbands A. Star Witnesses
For Each Other.

Des Moines, Nov 3O.-Two LES
iMones husbands-married to the same
woman, and both seeking freedom from
the matrimonial yoke-testffied against
that much-wedded lady in Polk county
district court Wednesday.
The object of their combined attack
was pretty 22-year-old Bernice Ray
mond, alias ,McWilliams, alias Spar
rowk, and several others. Bernice has
marched to the altar just eight times.
Husband number eight-Frank Ray
mond Camp Dodge soldier-secured
an annullment Of his marriage, which
was performed Nov. IA. AS a result he
celebrated Thanksgiving with a zest.
Raymonds star witness was husband
number seven, Leo ISparrowk, who tes4
titled that he was Bernice's legal
spouse at the time she promised TO
love, honor and obey the soldier boy.
Sparrowk now has a divorce suit
pending in district court and will tell
his story to the judge today, in an ef-
fort to regain his liberty.
Husbands Come and Go.
Raymond the Camp Dodger, testified
that after he had been married week,
Bernices lawful husband headed a po-
lice raid upon his wife's abode. The
soldier said that was his first intima-
ton that his wife had superfuous
husband.
Sparrowk, the next = to = the = last
spouse, testified that he engineered the
raid for the purpose of getting evil
dence to aid him in his divorce suit.
He said he didn't know at the time that
Bernice had made another altar trip.
Sparrowk further testified that when
he married Bernice in 1913 she had
superfluous husband who had not been
legally disposed Of. She subsequently,
obtained a divorce and he remarked
her.

touchdown on the first scrimmage fol-
lowing the initial KICKOFF in the annual
Ames-Drake contest yesterday after
noon and from that moment fairly toy
ed with the Bulldogs in a contest that
resulted In a II to 0 score favoring
the Cyclones.
With the exception Of squirt at the
close of the first period and at the
start Of the second Drake had nothing
to offer in the way Of an offense and
the Ames goal never was endangered.
The Bulldogs defense also was weak
with the exception that the locals had
strong tendency to fight stubbornly
inside their 2O-yard line and five times
took the ball on downs from their OPP
pcnents. when they threatened to score
This stubborn defense coupled with
Stills fine punting prevented the May
ser-coached machine from piling up
much larger score.
