Somewhat Sensational.
Mr. and Mrs. Keith Knight, of Goth
enburg, were visitors iri town yester
day. They were here Bpending their
honeynoon, having been married the
early part of last week. In connection
with this marriage there nro facts that
aro somewhat sensational. Mrs. Knight
was formerly Josephine Vera Morant,
daughter of the late Saml. Morant, by
a former marriage. When Mr. Morant
died he left an estate of $70,000, to one
third of which this daughter fell heir.
Being a minor, John E. Evans, of thin
city was appointed her guardian. Be
fore sho became of age her mother,
now Mrs. Rose, living at Gothenburg,
planned a fictitious marriago in order
that her daughter as a married woman,
might receive the money in the hands
of the guardian, and in July of last
year she, tho daughter, was married to
a man who gave his name- as J. II .
Moore, but whose real name was
Clarence Owings. TWb ceremony was
performed by Judge Elder without
knowledge of the true facts in tho
presence of Mrs. Rose and the guardian
Mr. Evans. Shortly thereafter the
money in the hpnds of the guardian,
amounting to about $25,000, was turned
over to Mrs. Moore. The couple, how
ever, did not livo togother, and neither
regarded the ceremony as binding.
Several months ago Knight began pay
ing attontionto the girl, not knowingof
the marriago, and in duo timo became
deeply enamored. It was then that
he was informed of tho marriago. and
tho conditions under which it was
brought about. Steps were then taken
to have the marriago annulled, and
buch an action was .brought, hoard and
granted in the district conrt at Lexing
ton on Monday of last week, Owlngtf
consulting to tHo anjju'Hridoib ibi

honeymoon is a pleasant one.
Mr. Knight is a brother of Mrs.
Jessie Bacon, and is nt present man
ager of tho latter's ranch south of
Gothenburg.
Making Settlement With Fire Sufferers.
Mobes P. O'Brien, of Sterling, and
C. E. Cooper, of Sheridan, Wyo., claim

Mt. Cooper is working from this end
of tho burned district, while Mr.
O'Brien will work north from Dickens.
It will require a couple of weeks to
make the settlements. In presenting
their claims, the great majority of
those so far approached have not shown
any inclination to be unreasonable in
their demands.
