^Money Marriage
Denied by Wife
Additional Alimony Is Sought
in Second Divorce in Su*
preme Court Appeal.
Lincoln, Feb. *5.—Denying that
ahe remarried and twice divorced her
husband, Ernest, for his money, Mrs.
Cora A. Zehner today appealed
against a decision of the district
court of Scottsbluff county granting
her $1,500 alimony.
Mrs. Zehner was previously divorc
ed from her husband in 1918, when
she received $5,000 alimony. They
were remarried In December, 1919.
In both Instances, Zehner filed a
cross petition charging her with ex
treme cruelty and was awarded the
decree.
Zehner, who is alleged to have
property valued at more than $100,
00ft, was first married to Cora Zehner
in August, 1M7. Less than a year
later, she filed for divorce, charging
him with cruelty, but his cross peti
tion, charging her with the same of
fense, was sustained by the court.
In her brief, Mrs. Zehner declares
he pleaded with her for a reconciliation
and she finally yielded, so that they
were remarried. Zehner claims she
remarried him to get another slice of
his property. This Mrs. Zehner In
dignantly denies, and says that a
former wife of his from whom he is
divorced was accused of the same
his behalf, Zehner says he was
k by his wife and lost two teeth
as a result. Mrs. Zehner declares he
called her a vile name and when she
struck at hint she hit his pipe, with
the result that two of his teeth wer*
4 knocked out. She declares that
Is the only time she ever could be
accused of cruelty.
In her appeal, she declares that
she Is entitled to more than the $1,500
alimony awarded her for her second
divorce.

Men Who Are Making Omaha
L.___/
Cherokee, Xa., gets honorable men
tion every* now and then. This time
for being the birthplace of Harlev
Conant, dating back to 18TB. XXe has
lived in Omaha for the last 30 years,
however, and therefore has fairly
established a residence here. If it
did not rest on length of years, it
might stand well on his actual ac
complishments.
Mr. Conant was trained for the
hotel business. Perhaps he did not
begin by washing the dishes, but he
started on some of the little bits of
jobs that have to be done around the
place, and gradually worked up until
he now might list as a sort of hotel
trust. XXe started in the old
Bachelors, and now owns and con
trols the Sanford, the Conant and the
Henshaw, all big, modern caravan
series. That would afford occupation
for the average man, but not for
Harley Conant. /
His energy finds further outlet
through the Chamber of Commerce,
where he is a member of the ex
ecutive committee, and chairman of
the publicity bureau, itself a man
sized job. Also he is chairman of the
executive committee of the Omaha
Hotel Men's association, another good
big undertaking, a director of the Ne
braska Power company, anti, a direc
tor of the Cankers Savings and Loan
association.
After he gets through with these,
Mr. Conar.t is ready to take on any
little trifles of occupation, such as as
sisting in the Community Chest drive,
raising money for Ak-Sar-Ben. helping
along any undertaking that promises
to help Omaha, playing an old game
of golf now and then. And some of
his friends say he can make a full
hand at about anything that Is sat
for him to do. In other words, he
is one of Omaha’s real live wires.
Big Loss to City ^ hen No
Hospital Is Maintained
Chadron, Neb. Feb. 25.—While ly<
Ing In the hospital at Hot Springs.
Senator Good of Chadron figured out
that the city of Chadron 1s losing
about $6,000 a mcnth by not having a
hospital, according to a recent talk
which he made before the Chadron
Chamber of Commerce.
"This territory,” said the senator,
"east and west of Chadron, and all
around Chadron, is the backbone of
the Hot Springs hospital. According
to the number of people from here
and the. surrounding territory, and
according to the way they charged
me, the loss to Chadron Is about
$6,000 a month.”
Hansen Rites Wednseday.
Funeral services for Mrs. Elizabeth
Hansen, 51, resident of Omaha for

home, 3021 North Twenty-fourth
street, will be held Wednesday at
8:30 a. m. at the Gentleman funeral
