THE BEE: OMAHA,' THURSDAY, JULY 22. 1920. KLINE IN MORE TROUBLE; HUBBY SUES FOR $10,000 Another Worry Is Added to Store of Former Hum ble Dispenser of Kick ' less Liquid. ''Money does not knng happiness." "When a man adds wealth, he multiplies trouhle." "The happiest man's without a shirt." These proverbs of the beauty of poverty are exemplified in the case of Edward J. Kline whose wealth yesterday brought him new troubles when he was sued in district court for $10,000 by Adclbert Mcl.eran, 2R20 Seward street, a boiler maker. Adelbert charges that Kline alienat ed the affections of Edith McLeran He Says Kline began showing spe cial attention to Mrs. McLrran I :i t November and "displayed his wealth in the process of winning her affec tion." Not Always Rich and Sued. Last October Edward G. Kline was poor and happy. He was a dispenser of near-beer, buttermilk, Thirsto, Drinko. Goodo and the full line of present-day beverages in the Falstaff buffet, Sixteenth street, south of Farnam street. His father died in Iowa and left liim a legacy of $40,000. Then his troubles began. The suit filed yes terday was one of them. May 17 he married Claramond M. Hummell in Chicago. A few weeks later he discovered that she hadn't been divorced from her husband the customary six months and therefore the marriage was illegal. The dis trict court yesterday annulled that wedding. First Wife Sued, Too. Soon after his marriage to Clara mond, his first wife, Mrs. Minnie K'.ine, who lives with their two boys at 410 North Sixteenth street, sued him for half his legacy, $20,000, in district court. He settled that by paying her $4,500. These are the bigger of the trou bles that have come to Mr. Kline since he became wealthy.
