LENA DOERNER ASKS DIVORCE
Romance Which Started at College
Tarns Oat to Re Vm- ,
fortunate.
The romance of August Doerner, the
young Seventh-Day Adventlst student and
Miss Lena Korgan, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Julia Korgan, wealthy residents of
I,ew1a township, which begun at the Seventh-Day
Adventlst college near Lincoln
and resulted In their marriage last January,
after numerous obstacles had been sur
mounted, has culminated In the young bride
bringing suit for divorce.
Friday young Doerner was bound over to
keep the peace towards his wife, after a
hearing In Justice Omen's court on a
charge of threatening to kill lu-r. This,
however, did not satisfy Mrs. Doerner,
whose dream of married bliss had been,
rudely shattered In less than a year, and
yesterday aha began suit for divorce and
caused an attachment for $S00 to be Issued
against a crop of corn and a team owned
by her husband, to prevent disposition
pending the determination of the suit. Mrs.
Doerner alleged In her, petition that her
husband was preparing to leave the slate .
without making provision for her or their
Infant son, of whom she asks the court
to give her the custody. . .
As grounds for the divorce Mrs. Doerner
alleges cruel a'nd Inhuman treatment. The
petition recites a number of Instances when
Dogrnor is alleged to have cruelly beaten
and choked Into Insensibility his young
wife. Doerner Is a highly educated young
man and the son of one of the most prom
inent leaders of the Adventlst church In
Germany.

Private information wa received her
today shedding some light on the remark
able case In Buchanan county of placing
bloodhounds on the track of a bank cashier
who had started across the country one

It was announced that he had leu me nana
and was being tracked across the country

that she had been pressing a demand for
$2,000 against him. He had refused to pay
and in order to block the game, is

closure which followed led to his hasty
departure.

Free from I.lve Xtock Disease,
State Veterinary Surgeon P. O. Koto
of Forest City declares his belief that there
ho not been a time for many years that
the live stock of the state of Iowa li? ho
free from all diseases and generally in
such excellent, condition as nt this time.
The crops of the year have been such
that all live stock has prospered and he
declares the state Is absolutely free from
all epidemics of general disorders. He
has received very few calls to go to differ
ent parts of the state recently. At the
same time he predicts that as soon ns the
soft food goes to the llvo stock there will
be more or less trouble. Tho epidemic

disappeared.
RICHARDS'- DEFENSE AN ALIBI
Witness Kays He Wa In Albla at
Time Robbery Was Coin,
m It ted.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Sept. 2G.-(Speclal.)-The
evidence has been concluded In the Richards
trial at Indlanola and tho argume'nts were
commenced this afternoon. Tho testimony
of the defense was brief but is declared to
have been very strong. Richards, the ac
cused ex-deputy marshal, did not go on
the stand In his own defense. Mrs. Richards
testified, and also others, to atiibllsh an
alibi for the defendant, ai..l while the
testimony for the state seemed almost Im
pregnable It was admitted by attorney
today that Richards had made out an ex
cellent alibi. The best testimony In his
defense was from a man who declared he
sa v Richards on a train going to Albla
at tho very time the' robbery was com
mitted, nnd jho was absolutely sure of the
facts. Much testimony wos Introduced to
show that Richards stood high among the
officials who had dealt with him. -Thomas
J. Miller of Ottumwa this morning testified
kthat he saw,Rlclmrds on the truln at Albla
on the night of January I. Miller's testi
mony Is corroborative of that of Mrs. Rich
ards, who testified last night that the de
fendant left the house at 7 o'clock to tiiko
th 7:60 train east. Her testimony wus
slightly discredited, however, because of
an admission on cross-examination that It
wa yet light when the defendant left. If
the witness (Miller) sow Richards' ullght
from the eastbound train at Albla the latter
must have left Creston at the hour men
tioned by Mrs. Richards and could not have
been plotting with Baird In the gambling
house and In the convict's kitchen at the
hour stated by htm on the stand at the
opening of the trial.
