A Remarkable Case.

Nof3S W - ~ WI iIOA III
formed "The Oasis" that the Su.
preme Court of Arizona has affir-
med recently a decision rendered
by him in the trial eof case in
Pima county, wherein he sat in
stead of the Judge OF TIE superior
Court there, who was disqualified
in some other cases. and this one
came up at that time.
In the case Oliver j. Crook
sued Pansy Crook for divorce,
and the divorce was granted. Six
months later in the same court
Judge O. Connor,graated a motion
vacating the judgment in the
former case, granting a new trial,
in which the divorce was denied.
In the meantime tee plaintiff
had married another woman, who
was enciente, and .hasshad a child
since then.
The first case was reopened
upon a showing that the plaintiff
had instituted proceedings for
divorce in Maricopa county, and
had secured personal service upon
the defendant in Los Angeles.
Defendant filed an answer to
the complaint, and set up a claim
for alimony and counsel fees.
Then later the plaintiff.
through his counsel, sought to
discmiss the ase, but Judge Stan:
ford refused to permit dismissal
with the motion for alimony and
counsel fees pending and not
acted upon. aa
The effort to get'a dismissal
was hardly regular. Counsel for
plaintiff did not notify the defen-
dant's counsel that such a motion
would be made, and did not make
it in open court; but wrote the
clerk asking dismissal. The letter
was referred to Judge Stanford,
who refused dismissal.
Then the plaintiff, who had
removed to Tucson, entered suit
in the Superior Court of Pima Co.
unity. That was the case wherein
Judge O'Connor granted the di-
vorcee. Plaintiffs counsel filed an
affidavit that he had mailed to
defendants known address a CO.
py of the complaint and sum-
mons, and that was accepted as
service, testimony was taken and
judgment for divorce was gran
ted. Six months later, when a
motion to reopen the case would
be barred in another day, counsel
for defendant appeared before
the Superior Court of Pima coun-
ty, when Judge O'Connor occu-
pied the bench again in other ca
ses, and presented a motion for
a rehearing. Upon the showing
made the motion was granted.
Counsel for plaintiff made amo-
tion to amend his affidavit with
regard to service, which motion
was denied. Then upon the show
ing that a suit between the same
parties involving the same
issues was pending in Maricopa
county, the divorce was denied
and that left the plaintiff a very
much married man. Counsel for

ALLIED LINE
HOLDS UNDER
HEAVY ATTACK
BY Associated Press

F'uriously Launching new attacks
against the allied positions on the
Marne front from Chateau Thierry
to Rheims, the Germans are contin-
uing their efforts to break through
the French and American defense.
They have made progress during the
past night, but it has been decidedly
slow in comparison with the sweep
of the Teutonic legions in their at
tacks in Picardy, Flanders and along
the Aisne.
1t appears that the enemy, after
crossing the Marne between Dor
mans and Chatillon. has reached in
this area the villages of st. Agnon.
La Chapelle and Monthodon, which
are approximately a mile and three
quarters south of the river. but in
the outskirts of these towns they
have been held up. Just to the north
east the Germans managed to ira
verse the Bouquigny wood, but on
the southern side they have been
stopped.
West of Dormans which is "a
miles east of Chateau Thierry, Amer
lean troops are holding the battle
line. Unofficial advices state that in
this area they have retaken the viii
lagos of Fossoy and Crezancy south
of the Marne, where the Germans
gained ground in the first rush
across the river.
From the French official report it
is evident that between Dormans
and Rheims the Germans are driving
toward the Marine at Chatillon and
along theline to the northeast. Only
at one point, in the Rodemat wood,
a mile and a half from Chatillon,
however, did they advance last night.

TeutOn Carrier Pigeon
Bore Sherman Message;
Worse Than Inferno

With tho American Army in
France, July ia German carrier
pigeon captured here bore a message
saying: The fighting for the pass
age of the Marne is worse than an
inferno. 1t was in the Marne region
that the American and French con-
stantly counter attacked with gal
lantry, succeeding in driving at least
some of the Germans back across
the river, while others were drowned
in endeavoring to escape"
Among the units which attacked
the allied lines on the front south
west of Rheims were several of the
famous guards divisions, and these
advanced in such overwhelming
numbers that the allies, although
fighting with the utmost tenacity
and courage. were forced back
slightly in the vicinity of Marfaux,
Cuchery and Bouilly. The Italians
fought shoulder. to shoulder with the
French on this front. The line bent
little here, but>it did not break.

Ask Court to Prevent
Dredging of River Coal

To prevent further removal of
river coal from a bed in Wiconisco
creek near Millersburg the Juniata
Public Service Company, furnishing
electric current in the upper end OF
Dauphin and in Perry and Juniata
counties, to-day petitioned the court
for preliminary injunction against
Daniel w. Romberger, Harry Swah
and Frederick A. Ziegler, directing
them to discontinue dredging and
removing coal.
The company contends it pur-
chased a tract of 10 acres along the
creek in order to work the coal bed
and that the line of the property ex-
tends along the opposite side of the
creek. Romberger's property it is
claimed extends only to the banks
of the creek on the side which it is
located, but despite this the men
are daily removing about 25 tons OF
river coal. The first hearing will be
held next Monday.

Paris, July 16.-The long
range bombardment of Paris
was resumed this morning.

London, July 16.-The Ger
mans continued their attacks
against the French line in pur-
suance of their offensive, accord
ing to information that has
reached here.
The information received in
dicates that the offensive re-
mains held up, the attacks up
to this morning having been
nearly every where repulsed with
heavy losses.
Situation Unchanged
Advices received in London up to
noon to-day said little change in the
situation had been created by the
German offensive.
TIE attacks which continued
throughout yesterday were conducted
by the forces of General Won Below
and General Won Boehm, who are
directing the operations of the two
armies on the left wing of the Ger
man Grown Prince group.
Great numbers of German corpses
are hanging on the tangle of barbed
wire in front of the French posi-
tions and all the reports state the
losses of the Germans must have
been exceedingly heavy.
Confined to -Four Miles
West of Rheims the enemy at
tackled in very considerable strength
at two places by way of the Marne
railway and in the country south of
Dormans. In this neighborhood
they succeeded in throwing six
bridges across the Marne between
Reuilly and Dormans, but at no
point on this twenty-five mile front
has the enemy penetrated more than
four miles into the French positions.
Thirty Divisions Used
The main attack to the east of
Rheims continued up to Z o'clock
last night. The fighting was extreme
~ severe in the vicinity of Souain
and at Prunay, where the Germans
captured a wood south of the viii
laee. This, however, was an excep-
tion, the German attack elsewhere
being repulsed with heavy losses.
The French line of resistance re-
mains intact.
From a captured map it is evident
mat CHe IeIlldn main attack was
intended to be down the Marne val
ley into Epernay. There is every in
dication that the enemy intended the
attack should be a really big one.
Thirty divisions so far have been
identified. Some of them came from
the army of Crown Prince Rup-
precht of Bavaria. so it is believed
there is little likelihood of the Ger
mans launching another attack
while this one is on. The French
military authorities are quite salts
fled and they say they have the situ-
alton we'll in hand.

skilled workers get good wages and
