It was while living In Alaska In l'J08 that he mat Miss Anita Laurence who had gone there on a pleasure trip with relatives from Seattle, plaintiffs attorneys allege, and from that time until the date of his marriage to Miss Laurence April tli, 1916 he was In almost con stant communication with her and met her at different places, notwith standing the fact that he had a wife aad family living In Washington. In 1916 his wife secured a divorce from him and within less than six months front the date of the divorce be re married to Miss Laurence. The fact that the divorce laws In Washington provldo that neither of the parties to tho divorce may re marry within six months from the date of dlvorco Is tho main ground for the support of the action. to have the will annutled. The records show that the divorce was granted Septem ber. 16th 1916, at Spokane. Wash., ondthaVoiT March tth'TJH.Idr. Labaree and Mis Uureneo were married In Seattle six days too soon to be legal. 'Counsel for the plaintiffs therefore set up that as thoro was no legal marriage the so-called Mr. Laberce No. 2 Is not tho legal widow of the deceased and therefore could not haro been named as the executrix In his Inst will and testament. Ilenjamln R. Labaree Is tho only plaintiff present at the trial and he Is accompanied by his mother. A number of witnesses have been sub poenaed by the plaintiffs, among whom are: Mr. and Mrs. Earl Walk er of Illy; Jtenry Hutchtn of Realty: and J. H. Cornott of Shedd. Tho young Mrs. l-abereo who resides on the 1200 acre ranch at Dly Is ac companied In court by her mother Mrs. W. C. Hill of Ix Angeles. Hrs.

On account of the celebrated na ture of the caso and of the amount Involved It I attracting widespread attention. It will probably require sevoral day before all of the testl mony can be given. It Is welt under stood that an appeal will be taken 1 end very probably from there to tlio supreme court of this state. Forbidding Irish Emigration Does Not Deter Irishmen DUI1LIN.

I mmmm Odell returns received late last night with a majority of 3S to 5 for De Lap, and Klamath Lake, another small precinct that went Mg for De Lap, mat night settled the conaty clerk contest, glrlng Mr. Da Lap the office for another term by lead of 50 vote. De Lap ha been described by the opposition In tho campaign a "a tnnbblag pest" and they bent all their eaergt to hi removal. At the Good Government league meeting throughout the connty the fire ,wa concentrated on De Lap. The county clerk was accused ot mnch, varying from misdemeanor to high crime, from petty trickery to defeat the administration to the fal sifying of public record. , His friends urged him to retaliate at least to pabllsh statements and affidavit hhewmg the untruth of the charges. He refused to listen. '.'The people of Klamath connty know Ke." ha said. "I have been their neighbor for 40 yean and serv ed them In public plaew tor mar than SO yean. 1 will set, atop te bandy word with slanderers. My record an opeaito the linnrilni of narjritiaen. If the reeerd of 4 enfstr net snttlrtenf te 'warrant my femw citizens of Klamath In' re turning me to tho office la which I have served for 12 years, I will not be able to say anything Jn the few week ot the campaign to bolster my reputation." Evidently the reputation of two score years counted with the voters and the clerk feels that his re-election Is In the nature of a vindication. Because, It 'I alleged, election boards In some cases failed to count vote where the cross was made after the names of candidate in stead of between the name and bal lot number, there is talk of a con test and recount, In city precinct No. 7 It I said many ballots were thrown "out. This waa strong jOood Government league territory. Mr. Sexton said today that he would not support action for a recount. Attorneys said the ground was not sufficient to Justify the expense of a recount. Sheriff Is Defeated Arrangements are being made for a canvass ot vote and The Herald will wait for the official figures. In compiling figures yesterday an oversight ot returns from ono pre cinct resulted In the announcement that Sheriff Humphrey had a slight lead over Lloyd Low. At the time Low was leading by 100 votes and Is elected undoubtedly. Brower has defeated William Dun can, Incumbent, for district at torneyship. Bunnell and Short defeated Chas tain and Peterson tor Judge and com missioner. Their exact lead Is not de termined but w'lll be more than 600 votes. Says Klamath Co.
