OMAHA. Jan. Si.-Two men and
two women are very a~nxiously
waiting for the Chicago courts III
acc on a certain divorce suit 50 that
they can end one OF the most per-.
picking four-corned marital tangless
ever recorded.
It all began when Mrs. Mary Lof-.
tus Kitchen left her husband. Dan
Kitchen. Omaha filling station pro-
p~rietor. and went to Chicago, where
she wrote her husband that she
was gone for good and said she
was getting a divorce.
Some time later Kitchen, believ-
ing himself divorced, met Miss
Naomi Bowles while on q trim tc
her home town Of Cabcol, Nc. He
married her and took her home 10
live with his mother here.
Meanwhile. his first wife had
failed to get the divorce about
which she had written. But she
got just a little hazy In her mind
about It, evidently; at any rate.
she presently married AL FriedberR,
a Chicago salesman. And after a
time she apparently tired of that
marriage and came back to Omaha.
Here she bumped into Kitchen
and told him that she had never
got that divorce-forgetting, how
ever. TO let him OF her marriage to
Friedberg.s Kitchen, however, told
her about wife No. 2, and after
some discussion. they agreed the
only thing 10 do was for the three
70 make their home together. They
did SO. making wife No. 2 a room
mate Of Kitchens mother.
Wife No. 2 decided she would
have to make the best of il. But
she felt free Of any ties to Kitchen.
and presently started going out 10
dances. This. In turn. made her
mother-in-law angry, and one night
wife No. 2 came home to find her
self locked out. After thinking It
over, she went to a police station.
and soon Hitchc-. his first wife
and his mother we're all irving 70
explain 1t 10 q police CAPTAIN.
Then, Just at the oicvical
moment. In walked Friedberg. tie
second husband OF the first wife.
He had come to Omaha to find out
what was delaying the rsturn OF
his spouse.
eventually, after many explana-
tons and tears, Kitchen was taken
to Cabool, Mo. his second wife's
home town, convicted OF hieamv
and sentenced to two years in
prison.
However, his first wife-Marv
Lotus Hitchen-went back to Chi
cago and set about getting that
long lost divorce. And then Maurice
w. Covert. prosecuting attorney a,
Cabool. relented and recommended
q parole for Kitchen.

MARTIAL LAW IN OIL FIELDS MAY
 SOON BE OVER

: Austin. Texas. Aug 25.-UP)- The first step toward lifting mar tiaI law fin the East Texas oil field and all the flush fields of Oklahoma was planned for to-day.
 The Texas railroad commission was to meet and prepare new con servation orders.
 Since Coy William II. Alfalfa BilD Murray invoked martial law in Oklahoma and Gov Ross $. Sterling called out the troops in Texas, prices have gone to theri highest point since tse East Texas gushers flooded the market and sent prices tumbling from $2.5O q barrel to as low as 6 cents.
 At least one major company in Oklahoma was ready 10 pay $i q barrel, the price Murray regards as fair. Other companies were re- ported willing 10 fall milne.
 In Texas the price has gone up to 73 cents. In Kansas, where Gov Harry II. Woodring threatened to close the wells, prices also went up. In Louisiana and Akransas, where no action was taken by state officials, the price went up because supplies were cut off elsewhere.
 Even at the higher prices, the purchasing companies could not get oil. however, as those holding 1t were certain further advances would come. So sure was Gov Murray of victory that he refused to dickcr with individual com pa nies. but demanded that they get together, offer $I a barrel and promise 10 keep the price up he would reopen the Oklahoma wells.
