.West Point Woman Awarded
$3,000 for Alienation
Punching Husband in
Eye Is Justified.
Lincoln, July IS. (Special.)
Witnessing her husband's love turn
to another woman justied the wife
to blacken his eye and recover
alienation of affection money from
the other woman, under an opinion
issued today by the Nebraska su
preme court.
Mildred Wendt, blue-eyed, was the
first wife of John Wcndt, handsome
parage man of West Point, and Rose
Wendt, black-eyed, his second
Mildred charged Rose decoyed her
husband with her black eyes and
bragged she would steal him away.
True enough, a year later the hus
band sued Mildred for divorce,
charging cruelty. Rose married him
at Council Bluffs. Mildred filed suit
for $3,000 against Rose for aliena
tion of affections and was awarded
$3,000 in Cuming county district
court.
Rose claimed that abuse and a
black eye administered by Mildred
killed his love. Mildred claimed that
hatred for her husband falling for
the black-eyed vamp was the rea
son for the black eye and that love
and not a mean disposition caused
her to attack her husband.
And the supreme court decided in
favor of Mildred and allowed $3,000
judgment against Rose.

the people exactly how much bread

ney general relative to the bill and

GEORGE II. BAUS
ENDS SEARCH 0
TWENTY YEARS
Omaha Man at Last Finds
the Very Medicine He
Had Long Needed.
"For twenty years I hunted high
and low for a medicine that would
do my stomach some good, but
never found it until I got hold of
Tanlac," said George H. Baust,
1115 Drexel St., South Side, Omaha.
My stomach was badly out of
shape, my food would not digest
properjy and no matter how care
ful I was about what I ate I suf
fered agonies afterwards for hours
I was bilious most of the time and
finally rheumatism got in my left
shoulder and also in the back of my
neck, and hurt me so I could hardly
stand it.
"Of course I could hardly ex
pect four bottles of any medicine
to entirely relieve a trouble of
twenty years' standing, but my im
provement is simply wonderful. My
digestion is almost perfect now and
my neck and shoulder are almost
entirely free from rheumatism. In
fact, Tanlac has benefited me in
every way and I feel just like a new
man. My wite, seeing how much
good this medicine did me, tried it,
and now she is as enthusiastic as I
am. We certainly are believers in
Tanlac at our house.
Tanlac is sold in Omaha by the
Sherman & McConnell Drug Co.
