called upon to perform the Solomon

and If he had, which wife should re-
Frank carried with the Modern
Woodmen of America.
The insurance company frankly
confessed that it could not tell which
woman was Franks legal wife. Frank
is dead and cannot speak for him
self and there are two women who
are speaking in their own interest.
Nevada and Levada Frank came into
the circuit court and claimed to have
been Franks wife. Spectators COM
mented on the fact that the two bore
close resemblance and that their
names indicated their relationship
but each insisted that she was not
related in any way to the other.
Evidence showed that Levada
Frank was married to Frank in the
ninetes. Nevada Frank proved that
she was married by Montgomery
minister several years ago. There
was evidence that Levada left her
husband and later Frank married Ne
vada. The first wife claims the mar
riage of Frank to the second was not
legal and that she cannot collect the
insurance.
The company is ready to pay but
doesn't know who should receive the
amount. Judge McCord took the case
under Amusement.
