cial.) County Attorney Cotton of
Brown county received from Pre
siding Judge R. ft. Dickson of the
district court, in open court, a ver

torney by a judge in Nebraska.
Cotton was appearing as attorney
for a woman in a divpfce action.
He introduced as a witness the
woman's daughter by a former mar
riage, a 20-year-old girl of low men

testified that her stepfather was the
father of the child and that they

once instituted.
