Dismissal of the action on grounds
that the wife had no legal right to
sue for divorce because she was
not legally married to him, brought
the declaration from Bruen that
several weeks prior to the raid on
which the plaintiffs suit was
based. he had legally married the
Proctor girl.
Bruen's counsel, Saul and William
Lichtenberg, had answered Mrs.
Bruen's bill for him in which he
claimed she had not been divorced
from her first husband whom she
married in Milwaukee. Wis.
Records from that State were pre-
sented in court to corroborate the
statement.
Such a marriage as Mrs. Bruen
sought to dissolve in this court
was illegal on its face and Bruen,
knowing he was free to marry
whom he chose, journeyed to a
neighboring town and married Miss
Proctor, his counsel set forth.

PUPILS STORY OF TRIP

When we arrived at Kennewick each
grade went to their separate rooms.
They would give one hundred words
and then they would give fifteen
minute recess. After they had given
the first three hundred words they said
to come back at Q O'Clock and if there
were any ties they would give more
words. When we went back we found
that there were about twelve people
that received the grade of 100 in the
sixth garde. Evelyn Kelly and Jose
phine Westling got 100 in the first
three hundred words. Elaine Coleman
received grades of 100, SO, and 90.
Robert Westling got 96 in each test
If you received a grade of 100 in the
first three hundred words you had to
take fifty-six more words. We are
all extremely proud of our records.
JOSEPHINE WRESTLING
The seventh and eighth grade
examinations are to be given May
