DIVORCE CASE
IS ONE THAT IS
HARD FOUGHT
Case of Amelia Wynn vs. William H.
Wynn Takes Day and a Half
For Trial in Dist. Court.
From Wcdnf'ivV Dailv
TV,,. f t? w,-t,t, vc
William H Wvnn in wl;i!h the
plaintiff had asked for a decree of
divorce and aiimonv in the sum of
Sf, 000 wn? closed "this noon when
the decision of the district court was
given, that was a partial victory for
both the plaintiff and the defend-'
ant.
In his decision. Judge Begley stat-J
ed that from the evidence brought!
forth the greater cause of the dis-j
satisfaction seemed to have originat-j
ed from the financial matters of the
parties to the case, that from the
evidence if the parties were younger
in years he would have dismissed the
action, but at their age the grant
ing of a decree of divorce to one of
the parties seemed necessary. The
court in his decision granted the de
cree of divorce to the plaintiff, Mrs.
Wynn. As to the property settle
ment the court stated that their in
dividual financial standings seemed
about equal and for that reason he
would allow only the sum of $400
permanent alimony, $75 attorney
fees and the household furniture to
the plaintiff. The plaintiff was or
dered to vacate the property owned
by the defendant and that it be
turned over to Mr. Wynn.
The case was opened for trial
Tuesday morning and continued all
through the day to 5:20 last even
ing and the taking of evidence was
resumed this morning, the arguments
and testimony covering the entire
morning session.
A large number of the residents of
the vicinity of the home of the two
parties were called to testify as to
the conduct of the plaintiff and the
defendant and the language that
had been used at different times by
the plaintiff also on alleged neglect
of the plaintiff- by the defendant.
Many of the statements of the "wit
nesses as to the language used were
whispered in the ear of the listen
ing court reporter by the witnesses
in the presence of the Judge and the
opposing counsel and deprived the
auditors of much Interest.

From Tuesday's Daily
The city of Wymore on last Friday
celebrated its 44th birthday, it hav
ing been laid out in the year 18 SI
and has since grown to a community
of considerable size. The town was

a well known civil engineer of Platts

since been a place of more or less im
portance in the railroad activities of

SERIOUS FIRE AT THE
HOME OF A. W. WHITE
From Tuesday's Da.!ly
This morning at 11:30 the large
frame residence of A. W. White, on
North 6th street, was the scene of a
verv serious fire that Dractic-allv de-
will make it necessary to repair and
renovate the entire house.
The house was first discovered to
be ir. flames by neighbors who at
once notified the members of the
family and gave the alarm. When
the frst smoke was discovered pour
ing out near the chimney in the cen
ter of the large roof, the fire had
inir ,ui tne roof was a mass of
; flames.
The fire department did some very
effective work and had several
streams playing on the burning
newspaper men.nouse but it required some time be-
! lore tne maze m tne large space De-
neath the roof
could be reached
ly all or tne nousenoiu iurniture was
removed without damage to any ex
tent, this being very fortunate as
the family had many cherished art
icles, the loss of which could not
have been replaced.
Mr. White, with his daughter,
Mrs. J. A. Donelan. Mrs. Karl Brown
of Papillion, a daughter of Mrs.
Donelan were in the house at the
time, Mrs. Brown being the first of
the members of the family to learn
of the fire.
The exact cause ot the fire has not
been determined, but it is the gen
eral supposition that the fire was
caused from the chimney, there be
itg some debris b iug burned in the
furnace at the time. Mr. White was
cf the opinion that the fire might
have been caused ky wiring but those
who were first on the scene of the
fire are of the opinion that the chim
ney was the cause.
The loss will be quite heavy and
will mean hundreds of dollars to
place the house in any shape at all.
The structure was partially covered
by insurance.

Members of the Cass County Bar As-

parted Member.
Fnm Ilonaay-P Da.il
1 This morning as a part of the
opening exercises of the opening of
the May term of the district court,
the members of the Cass County Bar
association paused for a brief period
to rav their tribute to the memorv
countv, who was a few weeks ago
called to his last long rest
Brief tributes of respect were giv
en by C. A. Bawls. A. L. Tidd, J. A.
Capwell. C. E. Tefft. W. A. Robert
son. C. E. Martin, W. G. Kieck, Carl
Ganz. Judge Begley also gave a fit
ting tribute to Mr. Aldrich and his
service.
The following resolutions, pre
pared by the committee consisting
of J. A. Capwell, C. E. Tefft and
William Deles Dernier, were adopted
and order placed on the records of
the court:
RESOLUTIONS
Whereas, one of the members of
our profession has passed from the
life mortal to the life eternal and
the spirit of Charles S. Aldrich now
dwells with its Author and Creator
for all time, and
Whereas, the passing of this
Christian gentleman has bereft us
of his valued friendship; the inspi
ration of his high ideals, and has
taken away from the community In
which he lived, his continued labors
there, his wise counsel, his enrich
ing life, we deem it meost fitting he
should not leave us unnoticed or un-
honored.
Therefore, be is resolved by the
members of the Cass County Bar,
here assembled, that this hour be set
aside in which to pay deserved re
spect and honor unto the memory of
Charles S. Aldrich. Captain Aldrich,
as be was so .well known, came to
Cass county to live nt Eimwood some
sixteen years ago. His life among
us has been one of the highest hon-
or and esteem. He was a very busy
man professionally and in banking
circles, but he always found time to
take and active part in all the affairs
of his community. He was a mem
ber of the school board and the vil
lage board; he took an active part
and interest in political matters, and
was a speaker of ability, often being
in demand on public and patriotic
occssiona. He was an active worker
in the church, even up to the very
hour of his going from among us. As
n attorney, he was energetic.
prompt and business-like. He had a
high sense of justice. With him the
practice of law was the vindication
of right. He was accommodating,
fair and honest. He was intensely
patriotic, having served as a captain
of volunteers during the Spanish-
American war and on important
boards during the World war. He
was a lover of his home. His home
life was one we should like to see
typical of America. His little chil
dren reflect their noble fatherhood.
He has been richly endowed with
an active, keen and logical mind. His
life was like a cube, with many
sides. Freely he had received of tal
ents from the Giver of life and free
ly he gave. He believed that life
was to spend and be spent, and he
spent his without stint, and without
apparent attempt to save himself or
his strength. He was modest, un
assuming and without pretension.
His nature was sympathetic. No one
ever went to Mr. , Aldrich with a
problem, no matter how small, but
received his kindly interest, and your
committee deem it an honor to per- i
petuate bis name in the records of
this court.
Be is further resolved that these
resolutions, by the order of this
court, be spread upon its records for
preservation; that a copy thereof be
given to the public press and that a
copy be furnished to the family of
Mr. Aldrich.
