COUNTY POLICE ARE WARNED OF COLLISION WITH BONDSMEN
Civil Engineer Isn't
Civil Enough For
His Spouse

CHICAGO, June 5.-Valen-
tine Weber may be an engineer
but he certainly isn't a civil
one, if you believe his wife's bill
for separate maintenance.
The bill charges cruelty. Mrs.
Helen Weber charges her bus
oand hasn't spoken to her dur
ing the past four years. The
silence made her nervous.
The only time he broke this
silence, she says, was at Dia-
mond Lake on a fishing trip,
when he used strong language
because she allowed a fish to
Wriggle off her hook.

ROAD LAND
BATTLE
Bill OF Exceptions Filed by
Mrs. Van Every; Land Was
Condemned for Va. Highway

A bill of exceptions to the find.
ings of a commission appointed
by Judge Walter r. Mccarthy, Of
the Arlington Circuit Court, to
appraise the value Of "a acres of
land belonging to Mrs. Virginia
Van Every, which has been con-
demned by the State Highway
Department in constructing the
Lee Boulevard, was filed in the
clerks office today by Emory N.
HoSmer, attorney for Mrs. Van
Every.
Error is Charged
The exceptions were taken on
the grounds that the commission
had placed al. erroneous conStruc.
tion upon the instructions Of the
court, having considered the ad,
vantage to the residue Of the
land by reason Of the conStruc-
tton Of the boulevard. when they
were not so instructed.
The bill also alleges that the
commission considered testimony
based upon an improper valua.
ton, one witness testifying that
he was estimating the land purely
from the viewpoint Of a real
estate agent, and stating how he
would handle it as an agent.
$7,815 Is Valuation
After a long court hearing In
which Judge Mccarthy had re
fused to sustain an alleged option
upon the land given the State BY
the late E. B. Van Every. the
condemnation proceedings hac
been entered by the State ano
the commission had set a valua
tion of $7,815 upon the AZ acres
to be taken.
Hearing upon the bill of excep
tions will come up at the June
term Of the court, it is believed,
so that work upon the boulevard
may progress as rapidly as pos.
sible.
