then a husband petitioned for a d..
vorce and his request was granted
Judge Slater, however, pointed out
to Margaret Clean, seeking a divorce

band could hardly be charged with re-
fusal and neglect in the matter of
supporting her during the past year
since he was locked up in Green Bay.

kegan, September %, 1929, and Clean
was sent to Green Bay on his plea of
guilty to robbery at the Cooper I'm
derwear company in June 1929. They
have one child, Edward Clean, now
three and half months old.
Lawyer Is Bewildered.
Calvin Stewart, representing Mrs.
Clean as attorney, asked her to tell her
age as she sat on the witness stand.
"I will be eighteen in December, =
she said. The lawyer looked surprised
and informed the court that he had
not known his client was minor and
that he would hasten to supply the
necessary paper of guardian ad litcm.
"Why l thought you were some judge
of age" the municipal Judge said.

Stewart. 81 thought she was at least
twenty-one."
Divorce Counsel A. B. Ames asked
Mrs Clean if she had not written her
husband at Green Bay that there was
auoSuer man she was thinking of
marrying.

get him sore because he had hurt my
feelings" she said.

"Why did you do that?" asked
Mrs. Cleans attorney with some irri-
tion. "What did you do such foolish
thing for?"
81 wanted to hurt his feelings"
said the girl.
'. Ames told the court that Clean
hao rritten from Green Bay asking
that vorce proceedings be held up
until ne could be released from the
formatory and have. a talk with his
wife. Judge Slater said the matter
would be continued until other
papers were filed and a further in
vestigation made.
Mike Divorce Is Granted.
Angelina Marie Mike secured a
divorce today from William S. Mike.
The couple were married in Kenosha,
February 81, 1921, and have no
children. Non-support and desertion
were named as the grounds of the
divorce action.
William c. Griffin was granted a
divorce from Bonnie Griffin and the
court awarded him the custody of the
two children of the union with the
tagree ment that the mother would be
lpermitted to see them from time to
IHtime. The couple were married at

Schmidt's summer cottage at Hooker
Lake last Saturday night, they did not
find as many things to interest them
as did the burglars of year ago, per-
haps the same pair of thieves.

in the door and carried away every
thing within that was cartable, in

leave much to reward thief's efforts
and this time when they came, they
found little there.

SHIP CAPTAIN FINED
$4,000 IN ALIEN CASE
Vessel Cannot Leave Florida Port
Unless Money Is Paid for Snug
Cling Six Into U. S.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PENSACOLA. Fla, October a
Capt. c. Z. Bodden of the British
schooner Varuna, 81 tons, just In
from Port Limon. Costa Rica, faced
a serious proposition yesterday, when
he was powerless to take his vessel
out of port unless he paid an imposed
fine of $4,000, or put up bond in that
sum, awaiting an adjudication of a
case which immigration Ispetor K. J.
Leary has made against him.
The immigration chief here charged
that Bodden allowed six aliens to
come ashore Wednesday, when the
vessel arrived, before the immigra-
ton agent had looked them over. A
fine of $1,000 for each man was i'm
posed. Capt. sBodden entered his
schooner and about the same time
the immigration department served
notice on Collector of Customs Curry
that the schooner was not to be
cleared until the fine was paid or
bond furnished. Capt. Bodden was
unable to recall his clearance and
thus allowed his vessel to be tied
up. Today he appealed to the British
consul. but obtained no relief. The
customs service is tonight awaiting
advices from Washington as to the
disposition of one of the most unique
cases ever being brought up in mari
time circles here.
