Cedar Rapids, Jan. io.--A decree Of
divorce granted nearly twenty-five
years ago is sought to be set aside
and decd In 1925 Is asked to be de-
clared null and void, in an interesting
case which is being heard before Judge
r. O. Ellison In the present court term
The case entitled Rude Cain. ct al

plicated one, and the petition deals
mostly with events which took place
nearly q quarter Of q century ago. A
farm in Monroe township, consisting OF
one hundred acres and owned, 1t Is
said, by Charles Milburn and j. A.
Morris, IL at stake on the decision OF
the court.
Mix.up Began in 1888.
The first event of the case, as set
forth in the petition. happened when
a man named Cain received a divorce
from his wife. James Pollock married
the former Mrs. Cain on Sept. 10. 1888.
Slightly moro than year later, Mr.
Pollock was adjudged insane, and was
sent to the state hospital at Indepen-
dence.
Pollock tried to sell the farm on
which he and his wife lived, in 1895,
the petition says, and 1t declares that
he was unable to do this because OF
his wife's mental condition. Pollocks
next step. continues the petition was
TO obtain q divorce. This he did, IN
1897. and the farm was decided to Mil
burn In 1895, the statement says
Mrs, Pollock died April II, 1913, at
the county homo, Pollock having died

When Pollock died, his estate 1t Is
declared. was divided between Mrs
Pollock then in the asylum. and the
children Of his second wife. to whom
he was married after he obtaied the
divorce from Mrs. Pollock.
