COULDN'T PAY
LOCKED IN JAIL
Bert Lathrop of Powers
Lake Has Tangled Do
nestle Affairs.
HE GETS OUT QUICKLY

Locked in jail for failure to pay
alimony when he could not find the
proper address of his former wife,
was the predicament in which Bert
Lathrop, Powers Lake man, found
himself, according to the statements
made by his attorney, Calvin Stewart,
today. Lathrop maintains that he has
been ready to pay alimony granted by
the court for the support of his child,
Calvin Lathrop, six-year-old boy, but
that he could not discover the address
of his wife, to whom the court awarded
the custody of the child.
The efforts of his attorney finally
extricated him from the county Jail
on an order to show cause why there
should not be a stay of execution of
the warrant for his arrest. Lathrop
now is turning the tables, and having
located his child, will ask the court
that he be awarded its custody.
Money Demanded Last Friday.
Lathrop admits that his wife, Alma
Lathrop, secured divorce in Septem-
Der of 1917 and because he did not
contend it, was granted the custody of
the child on the provision that he was
to see the child at least once a week
He was to pay Sc weekly for the child's
support. The order of the court was
duly carried out for several months.
Then Mrs. Lathrop and the child moved
to Chicago and sent Lathrop no notice
of their address, according to his
claims.
Subsequently Mrs. Lathrop was mar
ried again, but Lathrop could not learn
the name of his former wife's new
husband. On last Friday the former
Mrs. Lathrop came to Kenosha and
through her attorney, George w. Tay-
Tor, swore out warrant for the arrest
of Lathrop on charge of failure to
pay alimony The sheriff served the
warrant and in keeping with the only
provision made in such a case brought
Lathrop to Kenosha and kept him in
the county Jail until his release was
secured by his attorney.
Lathrop maintains that he was at
! all times willing to paw the alimony
had the provisions of the order been
kept and had he been Informed of the
whereabouts of his child. He is now
asking that the order of the court d.
recting him to pay alimony be set
| aside and that since his wife has re-
married, he be allowed either partial
or entire CUSTODY of the son. The case
is set for next Monday morning in the
municipal court.

MEANS BIG BUSINESS

The possibility of Kenosha folks be-

Of the Whittier truck
Outlook Is Bright.
Mr. Lundskow leaves for Washing
ton, D. c., tomorrow and will have
charge of the demonstration of the
Whittier ton and half truck that the
government has been investigating
When asked by representative of the
News as to his ideas on the chances
of the local company getting a gov
eminent order, he stated that in his
opinion that the Kenosha truck build
ers would at least figure in the huge
order soon to be placed by the gov
eminent.
Would Take on More Men.
In case the order or part of it is
placed with the local concern, it will
brighten the present industrial situa-
ton considerably. The Whittier and
Marvin plants would take on greater
working force and this in turn would
offer additional employment to the
people of Kenosha. The Whittier and
Marvin companies are operating daily
but are not working to capacity and
the government order would be a boon
to the people of Kenosha. The out
look for the order to say the least is
encouraging.
