Fremont, Neb., Tan. 16. (Spe cial Telegram ) -After 21 years of married life, resulting in nine chil dren and a fairly good portion of worldly goods, Elizabeth Benne was given a divorce from Henry Benne, a farmer living near Scribner. Despite the fact that Mrs. Benne has been ' a hard worker, laboring side by ..side in the torn fields with the hired men, taking care of the cattle at dusk and trading the farm produce of eggs- and cream at the village stores for shoes and clothing for the children, Benne insists that his wife has been unfaithful.
