morning in the municipal court upon
his plea of guilty to the charge of
assaulting and beating his wife.
Lease hung his head when arraigned

he said that he had come home one

BOTH WANT THE
MARRIAGE PAPER
Divorced Pair Disagree as
to Who Shall Have the
Marriage Certificate.
SHERIFF TAKES PAPER
To Settle the Difficulty Temp
orarily, Sheriff Pabst Is
in Possession.

Claudius Tobiassen and Anna c,
Tobiassen have been duly divorced
through the judgment entered In cir
cult court after a stormy action In
which each charged the other with IN
kindness, selfshness and cruelty.
One might think that the marriage
certificate after such divorce, would
be used perhaps for kindling in light
ing a fire; but not so. Both Claud1us
Tobiassen and Anna G. Tobiassen want
that marriage certificate and neither
wants the other one to have it.
Human Nature is Strange.
So Friday Sheriff Pabst was called
in to settle the difficulties, and try
to divide the personal property of the
pair which was still disputed. 1t
seemed to be easier to settle some of
the big things about which the two
disputed, than some of the little things.
The small things caused the great
est whirlwind of argument. There
was such a strong feeling for in
stance centering about little creamer
and sugar bowl, that the sheriff, and
other disinterested observers could
not understand 1t. Tobiassen wanted
that sugar bowl and creamer and so
did Mrs. Tobiassen. Each claimed
these accessories to the coffee table
as their own. The articles had been
given as a wedding present, and Mrs.
Tobiassen averred that therefor they
were hers. Tobiassen held that he was
a partner to any wedding present
given, and therefor he was entitled to
hold the creamer and sugar bowl
Then the Certificate.
The feelings were so deep and
touchy that it seemed as if the pair
might be willing to throw their lot
together again just for the sake of that
creamer and bowl, and again have cof-
fee out of the same good old coffee pot.
But the deepest argument of all
arose over the marriage certificate.
Both plaintiff and defendant in the
divorce action, both the former hus-
band and former wife, wanted that
document.
AS the argument waxed more and
more warm, the sheriff settled matters
by taking the paper in his custody.
Undersheriff Knipfer suggested after
the fashion of Solomon, that the paper
be divided and each given half as
souvenir. This suggestion was duly
carried to Tobiassen and Mrs. Tobias
sem but they scorned it.
No one is able to understand the
situation. 1t may be that Tobiassen
has o lurking feeling of sentiment for
that paper, although he does not want
to admit 1t. Perhaps it is the same
with Mrs. Tobiassen. But certainly
when Mrs. Tobiassen found out that
Tobiassen wanted that paper, she in
sisted that she was not going to let
him have that satisfaction. And To-
biassen when he learned that his wife
demanded the custody of the docu-
ment, insisted more loudly than ever
upon his rights.
In Mrs. Tobiassen's second husbands
trunk, that is in the trunk of Claudius
Tobiassen, was found the marriage
certificate testifying to her union with
her. first husband.
