In a Missouri court recently a rather
I novel ease came up for decision. Dur
ing the civil war a certain Northern
soldier went into the service, leaving a
.young wife at home. Jn doe time the
news reached him that his bride had
died and when the war ended he did
not return to his old home, bnt'settled
out West. He married again, and with
his second wife accumulated a large
amount of property in B ru tt county.
Not long ago he learned that his first
wife had not died, but, supposing him
to have been killed, had married an
other man. This man died, leaving
her a widow. When the Pratt county
man learned these facts he brought suit
for divorce, and the woman in the East
heard of it and went out and fought
the case, asserting a claim to part of
the Pratt county man’s property.
However, after the lawyers had mads
a great fight before him, the judge
granted the divorce and left the Pratt
county man free to marry the woman
who has been living with him for many
years as his wife.—N. Y. Tribune.
