HUFFMAN DIVORCE
CASE IS DECIDED.
Plaintiff Awarded Divorce Up
on Grounds That Are
Sustained.
COURT HANDS DOWN
LENGTHY OPINION
Complex Property Situation is
Adjusted in a Way
Equitable to Both
Parties.

A decision in the case of Geo. A.
Huffman VS.. Nettie A. Huffman, ac-
ton for divorce and adjudication d
property rights, which case was tried
several weeks ago and excited
widespread interest because of the
accusations involved, was rendered by
Judge N. H. Mcclure last Saturday
morning.
The decision was lengthy one.
Reduced to a few words, it granted
plaintiff a divorce as prayed for ;cus-
tody of minor child was awarded I'd
defendant; and the latter was ordered
to pay aiimony Of $1,000. 81, ard the
value of plaintiffs contingent right
OF dover in lands Of defendant valued
at $231.55, onto assessment Of which
a deed shall be given by plaintiff to
defendant releasing said dover right;
defendant to pay all costs.
In his suit for divorce, adultery
was assigned as the ground by defen-
dant, concerning which, in his decis-
ion, the court had this to say:
"This is an action for divorce, the
plaintiff setting up as the ground
therefor the adultery of defendant, al
Legged to have been committed with
one 4. E. Nurse, the specific charge
being that defendant apd said Nurse
occupied the same room together at
a hotel in Covington, KY, ard were
registered at said hotel as man and
wife, on December "A to ,26, 1920. O.***
IheTcourt is satisfied that the charge
of adultery set forth in the petition
is sustained by the proof and the
charges Of the cross petition not be-
ing sustained, the plaintiff is entitled
to decree of divorce from the de-
fendant, which will be granted"
The custody of the minor child, a
daughter, 16, was not seriously con-
tested, and was awarded by the
court to the defendant.
Adjustment of property rights pre-
sented to the court somewhat COM
plex situation, but summed up
amounts to practically an equal dfyis-
ion. The Huffmans lived together
amicably for nearly thirty years dur
ing which through their joint efforts,
they acquired farm and other prop
erty of which the Union hotel in Me-
dina was part. Previous to the
bringing of the divorce action plain
Tiff found buyer for the farm, but
defendant refused to sign the deed
of conveyance unless plaintiff first
1eeded the Union hotel property to
defendant, which he did. In his
subsequent petition for divorce and
equitable relief, plaintiff prayed to
have this transfer of property set
aside.
The court refused to set it aside.
With the statement that "this arrange
nent whether made by the parties in
contemplation of a separation or for
some other reason not clearly disclos-
ID, was apparently carried out and
with full knowledge anil
without any showing of fraud or bad
'aith; and since it occurred previous
% the time when the grievances com
blamed Of in the petition occurred
he court will not disturb the convey
lnce." z

Strong indications of Oil is
Found.

Further and by far the most i'm.
portant indication that there IS oil
in the vicinity of Bogalusa was
discovered Il few days ago, and
announcement of the find was
made when Mayor Sullivan re.
turned to Rogalusa yesterday
morning with a large collection
of oil blossoms. The discovery
was made by students of the For.
Forestry School, who reported
their find to j. K. Johnson, who,
with Mayor Sullivan, drove to the
place, about seven miles from Bo.
galusa, on Great Southern Lum~
Der Company property
Oil blossoms are a composition
of iroa, which oil forces itself
through and makes a peculiar
shaped composition which some
what resembles a blossom and
hence the name, The blossoms
are on display at the office Of Mr.,
Sullivan and they are attracting
unusual attention.
At recent meeting of ths local
oil company it was decided to en-
ploy the services of a geologist to
make an oil survey, and the find.
ing of the oil blossoms will likely
result in quick investigation. The
local company has options or
many thousand acres of land, anc
inyiew of the fact that the Great
Southern Lumber Company own
thousands of acres Of land in this
vicinity, local people woule
would profit more on the dis
covery of oil than in most places
The next few weeks will likel,
see considerable activity in thi
section along the oil development
line.-Bogalusa Enterprise.
