Bring n. D. DIVORCE
into SUIT TO BREAK
$12,000,o00 LEGACY
Estates Division May Hinge on
Separation Granted in Wah-
pston in 1898

Wahpeton, N. D., April l7-(P)-
With the hope Of throwing some light
on the fight which Mrs. Ida G. Cook
proposes to make In an effort To
break the will Of her late husband in
leaving $l2,0O0Oo0 to the University
Of Michigan, attorneys here Friday
delved into 33-year-old records OF
Richland county.
They found that in the June term
Of Richland county district court,
1893, Mrs. Cook received the divorce
from her husand, which she had
asked, but not in answer to her suit.
Mrs. Cook charged her husband
with "desertion, non-support and
abandonment" In the action which
she filed here. Mr.. Cook answered
with q counter claim making similar
allegations and contending that he
had offered his wife both money and
a home but that she had refused all
such offers.
No detailed court records were kept
here in 1898 but the musty documents
of the clerk of court show that Judge
w. s. Lauder. then presiding. handed
down a verdict for Mr.. Cook, finding
that all of his allegations had been
correct and at the same time Judge
Lauder dismissed the action entered
by Mrs. Cook.
Mrs. Cook was represented by the
late Senator w. e. Purcell and Mr..
Cook .,y the firm Of McCumber and
Bogart, all of whom are deceased.
Judge Lauder still lives here, but
for the last year has been paralyzed
so badly that he Is unable to speak.
His memory also has been affected.
Mrs. Ida E. Lacy, q pioneer resident
of this city, recalled Friday that Mrs.
Cook came here in February, 1898,
and made her home here until the
court decision in June. Mrs. Cook
lived unostentatiously, she recalls.
It was her understanding that the
marital difficulties of the Cooks arose
over failure of Mr.. Cook to agree to
make his home with Mrs. Cooks par
ents.

FIGHT FORMER WIFE

Ann Arbor, Mich, April l7.-(F-
The University Of Michigan Is rrepar-
ing to carry on court fight to up
hold the will of William Wilson Cook,
which left an estate Of $l2.O00.0 900 or
more to the institution.
No compromise will be sought or
accepted, university officials declared
after publication Of the news that
Mrs. Ida G. Cook, 7l-year-old divorce
wife of the generous alumnus. In
tends to sue for half Of the estate.
Henry M. Bates, dean OF tbe law
school. said that the legal staff Of the
university Is prepared to act as soon
as q bill Of particulars Is filed, He
Indicated that he possesses records
showing that Mrs. Cook filed . suit
for divorce In North Dakota In 1898,
seven years after her marriage. Later
Cook was granted divorce On cross
bill.
The fact that Mrs. Cook accepted
the Jurisdiction Of the western state.
which then required only 80 days
residence for q divorce proceeding,
Bates contends, will stand in the way
OF q contention that the divorce was
invalid because both parties were
residents Of New York.

Effort by Railroads in

Charges that old-line fruit houses
are attempting to obtain cancellation
Of privileges now extended by the
railroads to small dealers and CO.
operative associations with regard to
deciduous fruit shipments were made
Friday by E. M. Hendricks, traffic
expert for the state railroad board,
before Edgar J. Smith, examiner for

The hearing is being held in the fed

Cross-examining r. e. Smith, as

sought to prove that the Zine" fruit
houses sought cancellation Of the

that elimination Of the privilege, as
proposed. would force small town
merchants to buy all their fruits from
the distribution houses maintained by
the larger concerns.
