Two Women Claim
to Be Lejral Widow
Claim Springview Farmer Re
married Without Securing
Divorce From First Wife.
Springview, Neb., Aug, 22. (Spe
cial.) I wo women, both named Har
riet, battled for recognition as the
legal widow of Silas J. Gage here
before the probate court last week.
Harriet No. 1 claimed that she was
married to Gage in 1883 in Baldwins
vii'.:, N. Y., and came to Dawson
county, Nebraska, with her husband
and two children, where they settled
on a homestead. Alleging cruelty
charges, she finally left the home, she
said.
Shortly afterward Gage sold the
homestead and left Dawson county
never to return. A few years later
she heard that he had remarried and
thought he had secured a divorce.
In 1921 she was informed she was
entitled to one-third of the Gage es
tate, for Gage had left his property
to "My beloved wife, Harriet Gage."
Consequently she filed suit in the
district court here, alleging that Gage
had married Harriet No. 2 without se
curing divorce from Harriet No. 1.
She also filed a petition in the county
court asking the court to find her
the legal widow of Silas J. Gage:
Friday the court decided that Har
riet No. 1 was the lawful widow.
The case will be appealed.

Auto Dealers -
Arc Violators
of License Law
AgHiBtant State Engineer Tells
of Methods Adopted to
Avoid Paying Road
Taxes.
Lincoln, Aug. 22. (Special.)
Hundreds of automobile dealers are
breaking the law relative to use of
dealer's licenses on stock cars, it
was charged today by George Leon
ard, assistant state engineer in
charge of the state automobile li
cense department.
' Right here in Lincoln I see half
a dozen cars with dealers' licenses on
them parked in front of dance pa
vilions every night,'' Leonard ssM
Men don t demonstrate cars at dance
pavilions.
I he trouble ts our department
can't enforce this law and it is plain
ly the duty of county officials to see
that dealers using cars for private
purposes pay as much to maintain
roads as the persons to whom they
sell cars.
"The most flagrant violation of
our auto license law is in the use
of 10-day licenses allowed by a gen
erous legislature. This was per
mitted to give purchasers of new
cars ample time to purchase regular
licenses.
"An auto dealer can print these
licenses, which are pasteboard, and
put them on cars whenever they
please. Many, I am informed, put
these 10-day licenses on their own
cars when they run out of dealers'
licenses.
"There are 1.57S auto dealers in
Nebraska who have taken out deal
ers' licenses. It would be difficult to
say how many of that number have
taken out private licenses. The coun
ty treasurers could, if they would,
ascertain very easily. Some dealers
in Omaha take as high as 10 or 12
dealers' licenses while others take
out only one or two."
Thirsty Men Pay $75
for 5-Gallon Can of
Slimy Creek Water
Randolph. Neb., Aug. 22.-(Spe-cial.)
Several men of this city
proved the "goats" of a couple of
bootleggers here when the latter sold
them a pint of hootch in a five-gallon
ran, the remainder of which was
filled with creek water, for $75.
The strangers adverted their
goods to the buyers, giving samples
of the stock, with the result that the
local men pooled their funds and pur
chased a can, which they later dis
covered contained a pint of alcohol
in a pan soldered in the top of the
container, below which was a see
ond compartment filled with slimy
slough juice.

May Also Lose Children
San Francisco, Aujr. 22. Suit for
alienation, divorce proceedings and
court action to relieve Mrs. Fdith
Huntington Spretkrls Wakefield of
the custody of her three children by
br first husband. John D. Siireik-
els, jr.. probably will follow as an
aftermath of the disclosure of an
unusual marital triangle. Mrs. Wake
field also may lose an iW.WA) be
quest from the estate of Sprerkels
as a result ot hrr aitair with Kod
ney Kendrick. a newspaper artist.
It was reported but not confirmed
that hpreckcls, sr., had come to Nm
Francisco to take steps to obtain the
custody of Mrs. Wakefield's chil
dren and to investigate the possi
bility of legal proceedings to set aside
the beouest.
Frank M. Carr, attorney for Mrs.
Kendrick, announced today that I
$25,XK) damage suit, charging Mrs
Wakefield with alienating the affec
tions of Kendrick is being prepared
and will be filed by Friday. Mr.
Carr also announced that hia client
had instructed him to file divorce
proceedings against the artist as a
result of Mrs. Wakcfitld'i offer of
$100 a month if she would give up
hrr husband. .
Wife Refuses Offer. . .
Mrs. Kendrick said today that she
reached her decision not to accept
Mrs. Wakefield's offer while her hus
band and Mrs. Wakefield were on a
motor trip together. The unusual
triangle had promised to work out
smoothly until Mrs. Kendrick left
the home of Mrs. Wakefield at Saul
sito, where she had been a guest,
and consulted her attorney.
Mrs. Wakefield now has a divorce
suit pending against Frank Wake
field, well known business man of
San Francisco.
Mrs. Kendrick in an interview
said today that when she first met
Mrs. Wakefield she never dreamed
that she was in love with her hus
band. "I. thought she was a most
lovable and generous woman," she
said. "I had been at a sanitarium in
Stockton when Mrs. Wakefield tele
phoned me to make a visit at her
home in S.mlsito. I agreed, knowing
that I would see my husband in Saul-
sito. When I reached Mrs. Wake
field's home her first words were
that she was divorcing her husband.
I told her I wished I also was free.
And then she told mc she would
like to marry Rodney."
Offerg $100 Per Month.
It was then, Mrs. Kendrick savs.
that Mrs. Wakefield made her pro
posal to pay her ?1J(J a month for
life.
According to Kendrick, there had
been a peaceful separation between
him and his wife long before the
triangle arose. He says there was
no concealment on his part or on
that of Mrs. Wakefield.
Mrs. Rodney Kendrick, mother of
the artist, sides with her son and
Mrs. Wakefield. She blames Mrs.
Kendrick for marrying her son when
she knew she was a victim of tuber
culosis. The Kendrirks were married three
years ago in Elizabeth, N. J. They
came to the coast immediately alter
their, marriage.

Labor Leaders
May Join Farmers

I 1 -
AIKorption of Third Party
Predicted if Nonpartisan
Will Meet Term of
UnioiiH.
Lincoln, Aug. 22. (Special.)
Absorption of the third party by the
Nonpartisan league may l.e the out
come of the nonpartisan-third party
convention at Grand Island Friday
in the opinion of politicians.
The belief is general here that the
Omaha labor leaders, who captured
remnants of the third party organi
zation at the convention in Lincoln
a week ago, plan to appear before the
Nonpartisan league leaders and at
tempt to drive a hard bargain for
third party support of the league's
program.
Selection of a complete third party
ticket to jeopardize candidate en
dorsed by the league will be the club
held over the league's head if its
leaders refuse to dance to whatever
music third partyites choose to play
during the campaign.
See Hitchcock's .Hand.
In certain quarters it is reported
that the tentacles of the far-reaching
Hitchcock machine have buried
themselves into the Omaha labor
leaders, and an attempt will be made
flo force the reactionary Hitchcock
propaganda on the rank and file of
the Nonpartisan league.
The league is expected to endorse
candidates at the convention no mat
ter what action the third party takes,
the day following the convention
there will be a free barbecue, when
A. C. Townlcy. national organizer
and former national president, will
speak, as will candidates who receive
the league endorsement.
Speeches by Townley.
The speech at the barbecue by
Townley will be the first of a series
scheduled by the North Dakota
spellbinder. His schedule, announced
in full in Lincoln today, follows:
Saturday night, August 26, at 8, at
Lakcview park, between Edison and
Oxford, on the D. L. D. highway.
1 Sunday afternoon, August 27, at
McAuliffe's grove, St. Marys.
Sunday evening, August 27, at
Randolph.
Monday, August 28. at a joint
meeting of leaguers and members of
the Farners' union in Madison coun
ty, Texlcy Grove, one and a half
miles west and two and a half miles
north of Newman Grove.
The New State, Nonpartisan
league organ, in its issue this week
claims that candidates receiving Non
partisan league endorsement get the
equivalent of 50,000 votes.

Armour Company
to Absorb Wilson
Packing Concern
Merger to Be Completed as
Soon as Legal Difficulties
Are - Removed Need
Federal Consent.
Chicago. Aug. 2i.lt hccanie
known today that Armour & Co, and
Wilson & Co., packers, would merge
as soon as the legal difficulties sur
rounding such a deal could be sur
mounted. One of the provisions of
the merger, it is reported, will be the
assumption of the presidency of the
new firm, which will be known as
Armour & Co., by Thomas E. Wil
son, present head of Wilson & Co.
He will succees J. Ogden Armour,
who will become chairman of the
board of directors.
The difficulties confronting the
proposed merger center around a
mass of federal laws. In addition
to these laws the attorneys working
on the merger are confronted with
an agreement signed by the big five
packers in which they pledge them
selves never to effect combines. Iu
addition to this the two companies
must obtain the consent of the sec
retary of agriculture to the merger,
It is said that Mr. Armour wished
to absorb Wilson & Co. principally
to obtain the services of M r. Wilson
as president of the company.
