ECHO OF FAMOUS
CHADRON CASE IN
DIVORCE ACTION
i -
Robert Hood, Millionaire Mill
er, is Cited as Defendant ,
M in Suit Brought, -by
Wife. . ' :
- Another echo of the famous Chad-
ron case war heard in district court
Friday morning when Robert Hood,
millionaire miller, of Chadron, was
cited as defendant in a petition filed
by hia wife, Bertha Gordon Hood.
Vfra MnnA alWtx extreme cruelty :
also that she has been unjustly ac
cused of having yiolated the marital
vows. She further alleges that Hood
on one occasion assaulted her and
urged her to leave home, which she
did 'on November 17, 1917. Mrs.
Hood asks for alimony- and .declares
that Hood is worth not less than
$200,000.7 , .
The Hoods were married in Lincoln
on February 3, 1916.
J- Former School Teacher.
Mrs. Hood, who is now in Oma
ha, was Miss Bertha Gordon, teach
ing in the Prescott school at Lincoln
when Hood became, infatuated with
her i and proposed marriage. ' She
taught in Lincoln four' years and lived
in Crete, Neb., before going to-the
tat ranital Hnori was more than
three, score yeafa when he married
v the young woman "who now asks for
, separation. ' ' ... ' '.
Theiriartial troubles of the Hoods
at Chadron was the beginning of the
f amour Chadron case, which resulted
in the vtrial of six Omaha men and
three Chadron men for alleged black
mail and which situation afterward
was closely connected with the police
department hearing in Omaha a year
: ago.. - ' "' "
' Fourteen months ago Hood grew
auspicious of his wife, who did not
take f kindly to the atay-at-home
method of life of her elderly husband.
. Hood engaged the Omaha Detective
association to obtain evidence against
lira. Hood. Among the operators
lent to Chadron ' by the association
were Philip Winckler, Gust A. Tylee
and Elsie Phelps. The Phelps wo
man went to Chadron ostensibly as
an Omaha woman in quest of divorce.
She assumed the name of "Mrs. Low
rie" and sought the acquaintance of
Mrs. Hood. '
Mrs. Hood, learning that she was
being shadowed, engaged County At
torney Crites of Chadron as her coun-
iieiore tisie rneips wcm vi w""u,
pn ahe tonfided her mission to Paul
B. Sutton, with whom she collabo-
raieo in staging mc wniuus u.b
- acene of My 14, .1917, in the office
cf Mr. Crites. The alleged plot was
to get "Crites and Mrs. Hood under
compromising circumstances, and
then cash in on the evidence.
Since the Chadron affair Mr. and
Mrs. Hood apparently had patched
x up their differences. They were in
Omaha together last summer and
appeared happy when they patron
ized a Sixteenth street jewelry store.

FARMER GETS
. Tiller of Soil Copt
Lion's Share of Loaf
HIS ON BREAD
Every time an Omaha man buys
a pound loaf of bread the. Nebraska
farmer receives 3J4 cents s .his
share of what the loaf brings.
In 1913 the farmer of this state
only received 1JS cents as his share
of the money realized in the sale of
a loaf of bread, but since that time
his proportion has been gradually in-,
creasing,
The Omaha miller who grinds the
flour only gets 6 per cent of what
the loaf will bring, and in his share
is included the cost of the lack or
barrel which contains the flour.
Prices of bags are going up, too.
The "down trodden farmer,", for
the first time in many years is get
ting the lion's share for his wheat
and the miller and baker must be
content with .the crumbs from the
loaf. n
