THREW FOOD IN
 HIS WIPES FACE
Playful Ways of Robert Kleinhans Leads to Grant
 ing of Divorce to Wife,

Robert F. Kielnhans ef Stamford has a playful little way of throwing any food he did not happen to like in his Wife!s face as a protest and va fied this occasionally by slaRping and beating her until she left him about 8 years ago, Mrs. kleinhans. former ly Shristina Von MOers, was granted 9 divorce by Judge Gardiner Greene ia the Superior Court today where sine told her story. It was corrob- orated by her sister, who is the wife of KIeinhans' brother, who also cor- roborated her story.
 Christina and Margaret Eon Aoers came to America June 5, 1914 and were met in New York by Robert F. and Theodore Frank Kleinhans, and were married Immediately. Then all four returned to Stamford where the brothers were employed in a chocolate factoy.
 All went well for number of weeks until one day some beans had been cooked with too much salt, and Robert picked up the dish and threw the contents in his wife's face. He then ehoked her to prevent Qutcry so others living in the house should not hear here, On other occasions he beat and slapped her, one day threw hot coffee in her face, and one Christmas night tore up the floor covering. overturned the furniture, and threatened to kill the entire fam fly. Mrs. Kleinhans left her hus- band in March. 1917, and is now working as domestic.
 Although the case was listed as contested, no defense was offered, but attorney for the husband asked for the custody of boy, the older of two children. He was promptly squelch- ed by Judge Greene, who said, "A | man who has been guilty of sucr cruelty is not fit to have care of any 1 child"
 Decree was granted, Mrs. Kleinhans was given the custody of both chil- | dren, a boy and girl, and Kleinhans 1 is ordered to contribute s week for
 the support of the boy, and may visit him at proper times.

John 5. Dawson, State Division
Engineer, is in the city to look
after the road work in this end
of the county. Mr.. Dawson was
in Wolfe county the first of the

is on the job to stay until good
road through the county connects
Clark and Wolfe, and we have
the word from Wolfe that that
county will carry the good work
through to Breathitt county,
which county is now building
this way to the Wolfe line. Now
doesn't this sound good?

City Dads to Meet

The town Board of Trustees
Will meet in regular session Fri.
day night. The selection of
teachers for the city school will
be taken ur, and the improve.
ment ofthe school building which
has become badly dilapidated,
will be discussed. The question
of walks will also he considered.
The Times hopes to see them
provide for a few more concrete
walks. The board walk has serv.
ed its day. BY removing the
board walk in the business sec.
tion of the town, one. half the fire
risk is removed. 1t is miracu-
lous that some lighted cigar, Gig.
arctic or match, all Of which are
often thrown on the walk, has
not set fire to the town. AS
matter of precaution, we say
again, let the town build con-
crete walks to take the place of
the present board walks.

Of the road construction work in

a claim from Judge Daniel for
one of the motor trucks the Gov

Judge Daniels court day or else
he himself would have gone. As
a result of the Judges claim,
Powell was awarded one truck.
The State was allotted 155 Of
these trucks, and as there are 1870
counties in the State, l18 of
which are ahead of Powell in
wealth, from this point at least,
we may consider that we Jared
real we'll.

Crop Report.

Since our last issue we have
had no rain, and truck has grown
wonderfully as it has been warm.
Farmers are fast finishing up
corn planting. What has been
planted is coming up fine, and,
the early planted is growing by
leaps and bounds, where it has
been worked. SO much rain, how.
ever, has packed plowed land
badly. Wheat is headed out and
is good oats look fine, and mead.
ows and pastures were never
better. Gardens are also in good
condition. All live stock is in
pink condition. There is but lit
tie fruit in the county, and part
of that seems to be falling
badly.

Will Try Once More

Mr.. II. q. Crabtree, one of
Powell's enterprising citizens,
living across the river on the lr-
vine road, wants bridge at the
Old Forge crossing and has gen.
erously offered $1,000 toward It's
building. This is one of the most
important outlets Clay City has,
and bridge here would possibly
accommodate as many people of
the county, as any other bridge
In its confines.
There are others who should
have as much interest in bridge
at this place as Mr.. Crabtree, and
if all who are interested will pay
as literally in proportion to their
interests as Mr.. Ora btree proffers
to do, the building of the bridge
is assured.
The Times is for the bridge as
it has always been for every 9th
er bridge in the county, and also
for every road in the county. Sup
porting public improvements is
our occupation, and we enjoy
it.
While we learn others will give
much more, The Times will plank
down one hundred dollars on the
venture. Who's next? DON'T
all speak at once, but speak loud
enough to be heard.
