Romance Off Rocks
—Suit Is Forgotten
Omaha Divorcee \iimits Rc
roneiliatioir ^ ith (iatlle Bar
on She Sued for $100,000.
Romance of Emma Anderson, prr.t
ty Omaha divorcee, anil John C.
Bachelor, Cherry county cattle har
on, which went on the rocks last
December to the accompaniment of
a $100,000 heart balm suit, again is
under full spread of sail.
Mrs. Anderson at her home yester
day morning. 2514 South Eleventh,
admitted a reconciliation, but de
clined to discuss the case.
Her heart balm suit, ttie shortest
ever filed in district court here, is
ail up in the air, and has a quar
tet of high-powered attorneys flus
tered. The suit, technically, has not
been withdrawn, but tlie papers have
been removed from the court house,
no one seems to know where or
why.
Attorneys for Mrs. Anderson filed
the suit, after, according to her story,
she had agreed to wed the wealthy
king of the cattle country on Decem
ber 11. He put off tlie wedding for a
few days, she said, then told her "it
was ali off." and checked out of the
Paxton hotel eight hours ahead of
a process server.
Then Mrs. Anderson went into se
clusion.
And as for the cattle baron out in
the great open spaces was fought
a grim, bitter battle between pride
Hind love, and love won.
Just how Bachelor again approached
the lady of his desires, and how she
rereived his hailing, possibly awk
ward advances, is not part of the
record, hut at all events, llie heart
halm suit seems off.
Miss Ruth Bachelor, his daughter
in Omaha yesterday morning, declined
to comment upon her father's action.
"VonllI have to see his attorneys,"
she said.

something distinctive and unique,

have been Impractical for my use.”

builders the benefit of our experience in such
matters, and assist in planning the best system of
wires for each case.
