leaders Of the miners refused to con-

ART Accord HAS SECURED
DIVORCE IN RENO COURTS

When Mrs. Art Accord, wife of the
William Fox Company's wild West"
movie star, found hat home life would
interfere with her desire to become a
motion picture star she cast it aside
in favor of her profession, Accord told
Judge Lunsford yesterday when his
suit for divorce came on for trial. He
was granted a divorce on grounds Of
desertion, says the Reno Gazette.
His wife is one of the beauties of
the films and is known in the motion
picture world as Edyth Sterling. One
of her most notable productions was
"The Planter" which was filmed in
Central America and which was given
its initial presentation in Reno. She is
a remarkable handsome m and al
present is with the Universal people
in Los Angeles. She visited Reno DUR
ing roundup week and saw her
husband perform, but during her stay
here she was served with the papers
in the divorce suit.
Art Accord is one of the best known
of the Wild West" performers in the
movies. He is notable in other re-
spects, too, as he won the French
Croix de Guerre, with seven stars
and palms as recognition of his work
on the battle fields of France. He
also is one of the best "broncho-
busters" in the business, winning sew
eral championships at annual round
ups and holding the worlds champ
ionship for ."bull-dogging" steers.
Accord told the court yesterday
morning that his wife left him three
years ago. They were married at
Salt Lake City, August II, 1913, ac-
cording to the complaint. Mrs. Accord
denied this date in her answer, assert
ing that the correct date is July 26,
1913. Mrs. Accord, the plaintiff said.
had ambitions of becoming a star in
the moving picture world and when
she found that home life would inter-
fere with her ambitions she abandoned
him to devote her entire time to her
profession. He told how she went to
Central America to film The Planter"
and told of other attractions in which
she took part.
Accord spoke modestly of his part
in the great war but when asked by
Judge Lunsford where he had been
wounded exhibited the scars of the
Hun on his left arm. He was COM
missioned a first lieutenant. Accord
said that he has had advances from a
prominent film company to do a West
ern picture in Reno and is negotiat-
ing now for the erection of a tenn
porary studio in Reno.

that for the time being we didn't
know just where we were at, owing to
some changes in the terms of the

American force continued to increase.
