COURT DISMISSES
 DIVORCE SUIT OF HARRIS
(From Thursdays Daily)

Judge Sweeney yesterday after noon handed down decision in the case of Bert Harris vs. Hattie liar ris. the court directing that this di. vorce suit be dismissed owing to the fact that investigation disclosed that there had never been a legal mar riage ceremony performed at the time alleged in the complaint.
 Harris some time ago filed suit asking for a decree, alleging that his wife had gone to Winslow and enter cd a resort in the restricted district. When the case came up for trial, the court decided to investigate the mat ter, and by getting in touch with the California authorities, Judge Sweeney learned that Hattie had been married tC one Edward Mcclure in Santa Clara county in 1904 The records showed that the man had obtained a divorce from her on January 3, 1914, or several weeks after she had been married to Harris at Ogden, Utah. As tlsC idllCA NGlSiiOiiy was pCAlOlL LiOu on December 13, 1913, Judge Sweeney keld that the woman had committed bigamy by forming her alliance with her second husband, and consequent ly there was no reason for issuing a divorce decree when the marriage was null and void in itself. Harris, it is said, had married the woman, knowing that she was of the demi- monde and the court held that even ii there ever had been legal marriage performed, Harris would not have been entitled to divorce his wife merely because of her alleged bad habits while she lived in the town of Winslow.
 Suit on Note.
 w. l.. Nelson yesterday filed suit asking for a judgment in the sum of SlS7 against James C. Cornelison and E. C. Earnhart. alleging in his com plaint that he loaned the defendants this sum of money on a note dated November l3, 1913. The note is said to have never been paid, and the plaintiff asks that the signers be com pelled to pay the principal. 10 per cent interest and the court costs.

Gentlemen Following your letter of

largest edition that has ever been
seen In my experience.
] wish TO congratulate your organ
ization on the excellence OF the paper
thruouJ One OF the startling ,feA-
lures being that II was very evidently
a profitable paper. because OF the
large amount OF advertising and this
reflects more to your credit. because
the work was done without the high
priced assistance OF special edition
promoters, who usually get all the
profits In this enterprise.
We will make an editorial com
ment on your edition and will for
ward you a copy OF our paper

tain just as liberal a proportion OF
