Judge Rules Against
Common LaW MARRIAGE

law marriage is provided prim-
arily to protect the innocent.
There are no innocent here. The
said law should never be used
to establish the survivor of such
relationship as a spouse, and
the court cannot so use it in this
case. 1t is the finding of this
court that the relationship be-
tween Charles and Rose was not
that of common law marriage
and Charles Brastein is not the
surviving spouse of Rose Sc
divy."

the way down to the Ohio River
Part of the boundary between the
Iroquois Six Nations and the western

eight miles long and ran crookedly
between the heads of the Cuyahoga

Getting their knowledge of it
from an old Morse's Geography,
Hudson and few others arrived at
Old Portage about June s, 1899, to
explore the land which was to be
their future home. Buffeted by
storms and wrecked by floating ice
in the lake the journey was haz-
ardous one.
Hudson had brought eight cattle
with him and had brought few
bags of flour, some pory, two
blankets and an axe. He built bark
