ELLING Manager ' Salesman B , HANSEN WESTERN NEWS-DEMOCRAT EGBERT GOOD , Editor and Publisher I rise to protest agianst the laxity of our divorce laws. As they now are a judge who is so minded can grant a divorce upon the very flimsiest of grounds. For instance , we attended a divorce case recently .which took about fifteen minutas to hear and decide , and the plaintiff secured his decree upon the ground of "incompatability , " the most unreasonable excuse in the world. The couple were married only a few months , and no evidence was adduced to show that anything hsd been done to reconcile the differences of tempera ment. In another case a woman en tirely unknown to court , attorneys or spectators obtained her coveted freedom by merely saying she had been deserted. When the marriage vow is treated so lightly , is it any wonder that the number of unhappy marriages is increasing so rapidly ? I have always been taught , "What God : * ath joined together , let no man put asunder , " yet our courts violate the injunction every dav. Why do not our religious organizations take more interest in this matter':1 COURT News and Notes Some Visitors at the Bar of Justice. District court convened here Monday - day with Judge Kinkaid upon the bench. This is the judge's last term of court-in this countv , and he made seveial breaks regarding what he would allow at the next termand , had to retract them. The first jury case was that of State vs. Charles Bailey , and was tried Tuesday , occupying the entire da- . According to the evidence , the de fendant while riding tne range with G. W. Ladely , living in the southwest part of the countyassisted in cutting out an unbranded calf , which later was sold to Bob Gillaspie , then to a man named Zimmerman , and was later discovered and claimed by D. C. Nelson , the owner , and found to have on it that gentleman's brand. Bailey , who is a negro , claims that Ladely gave him the calf , but that worthy was not in court to substantiate the story , although subpoenaed as a wit ness. Taken all in all , the testimony showed that Ladely was as guilty if not more so than the prisoner. The case was worked up by Ed Blakeyand it is said that this is only a beginning. In his argument , John Tucker , attor ney for the defense , said the negro was but a catspaw. LATER Bailey pleads guilty to the charge against himand will probably receive a short term in the peniten tiary. Yesterday morning the case of State vs. Reese was calledand the de fendant pleaded guilty to having raped Hanna Peterson , a fourteen year old girl living on the Niobrara , south of town. Accordsng to the evidence the defendant , Frank G. Reese , committed the crime a couple of months ago , and at the preliminary he pleaded not guiltv. It is the con sensus of opinion that Reese saved himself about five years hard labor by his plea , the judge sentencing him to five years in the pen. . E. C. Cole is down from Cody , court ing. ing.H. H. G. Danks and E. B. Growden , of Brownlee , came up to attend court this week. Ed Blakey , inspector for the South Dakota stock association , is in town this week , attending court. A. Thompson , Louisa Seidfaden , Thos. McClean and Jos. Zerfas were among those who became full fledged American citizens at this term of court. Pat Piper , of Cody , is in town this week , as a member of the jury. In the language of Artemus Ward , Pat is "an amoosin' cuss'5 and the boys around town will all be sorry' when he goes home. N. D. Jackson of Neligh , J. W. Morris of Johnstown , L. K. Alder and A. W. Scattergood of Ainsworth , were among the attorneys who were present at the opening of district court. Monday morning. Teachers' Association.

Mrs. Lesserd , of Valentine , visited with Mrs. Adamson. John Onnesher and Fred Marsh started for the Black Hills , Friday , their friends wish them success on their journey. Last Monday morning several men assembled at the building recently pur chased by R. Grooms and by evening the same was on wheels ready to start Tuesday. Still more men came , fifteen in all , and started homeward. When about a half mile from the start an ac cident occurred which finished the pro gress for that day. Wednesday morn ing at daylight the same number began the work for the third day , and about 3 o'clock in the afternoon the building was landed in its place amid the cheers of all present. Work of unloading was begun and the building was soon on blocks. A little after sundown C.C. Thompson arrived on the scene with an organ and two violins , and later the ladies j of the neighborhood began to ar rive and soon all were engaged in a merry dance. Atmidnight supper was served by the hostess , assisted by Mrs j C. C. Thompson , Mrs. J. A. Adamson and Miss Eda Marks. At daylight the merrymaking subsided and all went to their respective homes. Mr. Grooms will now finish his new home by adding a'kitchen 12x12 , and will plaster and move in as soon as possible. UAD BOY. Eli Frecisict. Jnne weather for the time of year. P. Sullivan has put up an addition to his barn. Win. Dunbar and family spent last week up west. i I. B. Nichols shipped his sheep the first of last week. Mrs. O. C. Goodrich and son Charles arc visitin in Illinois. George and James Pruden were on the river the first of the week after timber. L. C. Star and wife , of Valentine , came up last week to visit with their children. Mrs. Gardiner was on the sick list the latter part of last week , as was also James Uennison. liev. Hunt was called to Cody last Wednesday , the loth inst. , to perform a marriage ceremony. We have for gotten the parties' names ; but what we wanted to say was , there was not a man , woman or child in the sleepy old town of Cody that knew anything about it except those at the house where the ceremony was performed. The groom was from Valentine and the bride was a Cody lady. SANDY. Mrs. Angie Ford gave an entertain ment at the school house in Distnct 49 last Saturday night. Her scholars car ried their parts well and showed care ful training. After the entertainment was over the people brought in baskets , boxes and jugs : the former filled with averything go d to eat and the latter filled with milk and water. Twenty- live cents a couple was charged for sup per , the proceeds going toward furnish ing a Christmas tree. We may be mis taken , . .but we believe 13. Hunt , O. Star and Jess Gorner can eat more than any other three men in Cherry county. WVVWV3 CHURCH NOTES , , The Rev. Bates will hold regular services at the Episcopal church next Sunday morning and evening. The union services of the young pee ple's societies at the Methodist church last Sunday evening were very largely attended , and it did one's soul good to see the earnestness and enthusiasm manifested by the members in their work. At the Presbyterian Sunday School each week at the close of services the leader places a fancy glass globe on the desk and requests all who have had a birthday during the week to come for ward and place therein a penny for each year of their age. The little tots seem to enjoy this exercise immensely. Communion service will be held at the Presbyterian church one week from next Sunday.
